   I've a new 5920G - I'm really impressed with, well, everything and at such a low cost. However, I do have one huge problem. The screen looks great but as soon as I open any photos it is immediately apparent that the screen looks washed out and is not displaying true colours.

   It's not the brightness control, screen settings are set to 32 bit and the Catalyst control centre allows some change but not to actually correct reproduction.

   The only real oddity I can see is that windows things the screen is a generic monitor so I am missing specific drivers.

   Does anyone have a specific driver or alternatively a working ICC profile please?

   The Catalyst Control Centre software gives you the ability to adjust the colour saturation, hue, brightness, etc. of the display. You have to turn on "advanced mode" I believe for those options to appear. I've got an Nvidia based 5920G so I can't be sure. But it the controls are in the C.C.C. software.

   Thanks - I did try that and could get improved results but not something I was happy with as it is rather a blunt tool.

   Acer have been truly helpful and suggested I start by a complete system restore which might be a little OTT.

   Does anyone know what monitor the machine should identify instead of generic PNP?

   Your lappy monitor will always be identified as generic PnP.

   Normally your lapply is shipped with the driver installed. You can also find the driver inside the Acer eRecovery and you can update it from Acer website.

   Catalyst Control Center (CCC) has 2 options, Basic and Advance. Make sure you're using Advance setting so you can have full access to the color settings, etc.

   Another sugestion is to check the settings of the device you are comparing with your Acer and adopt it (at least you have ideas to make your lappy produce the same quality of the image).

   Just to let you know. I have 1 PC (ATI Radeon 9550), Acer 6292 (Intel GMA X3100), and Acer 8920G (NVidia 9500M). None of them can produce the same quality of images. The reason is the Graphic Adapters and the LCDs are not the same.

   Also my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 (Pocket PC) cannot produce the same quality of image.

   Good Luck and Happy New Year!
