Color profiles not working on Samsung Monitor
Hello,
I just bought a Samsung monitor S70D_S32D70xE.
When connecting it to a Mac laptop, the colors are great, the contrast is good.
When connecting it to my Lenovo, the colors are not saturated enough, the contrast is bad (it's not high or low, it's bad).
Checks:
- I'm connecting them with the same HDMI.
- Mac Pro M1
- Lenovo AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, Windows 11
- Latest updates installed on Lenovo (drivers too)
- I did a calibration on Color Management>Advanced , and the colors are even a little worse
- Tried different color profiles from internet, and they don't change anything
- Monitor settings are default and not changed
When I checked Mac's display settings, it seems like it has an inherited color profile as "S70D_S32D70xE" already.
Please help me fix it.
Hello MarianX!
Looks like the issue could be related to the color profile or display settings on your Lenovo. Try manually changing the color profile in Windows. Go to Color Management in Control Panel, select your Samsung monitor, and try setting it to the sRGB color profile. If that doesn't work, you could try adjusting the monitor settings directly or checking if the graphics driver on your Lenovo has any color or display options you can tweak.
Sometimes, monitors will behave differently with various devices, and a reset or different cable might also help. If you have a spare one you can give it a shot.
Hope it helps!
