I recently bought an OMEN Laptop - 15-ek0018tx.The problem is colors seem washed out when switching from a dark screen to a light screen switching between apps. Suppose I have chrome open in dark mode, if I suddenly switch to an app with a lighter background color, the colors in this page take sometime to show the true hue and saturation. Has anybody faced a similar problem?
Please help.

@SapD93 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.
