Just got my laptop, and decided to play some WMV HD since this is my first laptop with glossy panel. I was greatly disappointed. The colors were dull, especially the red color. It seems saturation is turned way down. I have tried to change that via Catalyst control center's video options but they are of no help.

Is this normal? I have played a variety of videos from real media to mpeg to wmvhd to dvd, all of the seems very dull and bland. As if soembody turned brightness to high and color / saturation down.

I play the same video on my desktop they are vibrant and it's from an old 17" Hyundai brand LCD!!

My problem is that the screen with wallpaper seems fine. Just the video playback is awful.....I have asked Dell but they can't do anything.
