Color Issues

rfarmer5r · 11-10-2005, 12:02 AM

I have begun to notice that on certain websites when a very light color such as a light blue or a light grey is used I can barely see it on my laptop LCD display. In some situations this causes quite a problem since these very light colors are being used to indicate whether or not something has been read, etc.

The laptop (Compaq Presario 1800T 18XL2) has basic brightness control, but not much else. I have tried looking into changing the Color Profile but I'm not sure if that would make a difference or not. Of note, this system was designed with Windows ME in mind, and drivers seem to be hard to come by. I have found a driver for the ATI Mobility 128 vid card but the monitor is listed as "Default Monitor". Could these driver issues also contribute to such a problem or is this an LCD issue??

Thanks for any help or tips.
