Any tangible update from HP on the TrueVision camera colour misrepresentation for Spectre360?

[ClausCurd]

My camera has the same problem as described by several other users before: The colour calibration for blue/black colours is way off and makes those appear very purpelish. This colour misrepresentation gets stonger in dimmed light, but also remains present in bright sun light. 

From the previous communication on the same problem I understood that this is not an uncommon complaint, and that no re-calibration option is available yet via HP support.

Anyone with an idea what can be done to avoid drowning in a purple world during web-conferences?

Best wishes, 

ClausCurd

@ClausCurd Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you are facing issues with TrueVision camera color misrepresentation.

To improve the discoloration issue, download and install the firmware update.

NOTE: There is a hardware limitation on the webcam that prevents the firmware from resolving the issue 100%, so a slight discoloration is still seen after the firmware is updated.

Sorry but just makes me repeat my question,  how to obtain a utility which according to this thread and several others clearly helps what is apparently a pervasive problem.   The utility isn't listed in the product downloads which means I have to jump through hoops to get hold of it?

I recommend you contact HP as suggested previously, so they can help get this sorted, as we've reached the end of the line.

Thanks for understanding!
