Screen colours too dark

[Bas14]

The screen colours of my new HP Spectre x360 - 15-df0400nd have suddenly become too dark. I've tried changing the settings (brighness), but nothing seems to help...

@Bas14 Welcome to HP Community!

As I understand the color does not appear as it normally should,

No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:

Have you attempted to check if this issue appears on an alternate/external monitor?

Did you attempt to calibrate the color settings on your windows?

If not, We'll use the Windows Color Management settings to walk through the steps of calibrating your display. The steps below are for Windows 10.

Before you start, make sure your monitor has been on for at least half an hour, so it's warmed up properly, and clean your monitor.
 

1. Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings


 

2. Click "Advanced display settings" at the bottom of the settings window.
 

3. Verify that your monitor is set to the recommended, native resolution. If it's not, set it to the recommended resolution at least for this calibration process.
 

4. Click "Color calibration" at the bottom of the advanced display settings window.
 

5. Click Next to start the color calibration.
 

 

The wizard will walk you through adjusting your color settings. You'll:

• Set the display to the factory default color settings, if your monitor allows you to do that
• Adjust your display's gamma to match a sample image
  
  
   
• Adjust the brightness and contrast
  
  

Adjust the color balance



6. At the end of the wizard, click Finish to save your settings.
