Product: HP EliteBook 865 16 inch G11 Notebook PC (8T644AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hi, 'Saw a few posts re washed out colours/insufficient contrast on a number of HP laptops. Although the display screen on my new $3000 Elitebook is not as good as my old HP laptop (are you listening HP), there are a number of tweaks you can make so that the display is bearable. These feature may not be available on all HP laptops.

 

After much fiddling, the tweaks for me that worked to improve the contrast, to the best extent they could:

 

1) Search Adjust ClearType text . Go through the steps and select the type of text design/crispness that you wish to see.   

 

2) Go to Settings>System>Display>Adaptive Colour.  Switch Adaptive Colour to 'On'. Although not specifically a contrast setting (ah,er, HP again), it made a big change.

 

3)Settings-Accessibility-Color filters. Click Color settings to 'on', and select the top option (Red-Green, green weak). Then scroll down to Intensity and Color Boost and pump them way up.

Again, not as good as my previous HP (ahem, cough)
