Ahh..When will they fix the yellow screen when drivers are installed. I posted it as a bug hopefully it gets resolved soon..

from this end it looks like Microsoft basic display is making the image bluer than normal.

Yes sure its a basic display adapter working at 1Hz I think, things are notably slow and blurry. However, the colors are accurate. If you look at the clouds and the reflections in water you can see that on the right image it has a yello-ish tint. Hard to capture on camera but very noticeable in person. The image is supposed to be slightly cooler blue.

I prefer the right image actually. So I think this is more preference than anything actually.

Uhm, I think it's called accurate color reproduction.

Are you sure that the left image is actually an accurate reproduction? That depends on the white balance of the camera, editing, etc., so both of those can be equally right or wrong.

Beyond that, check your settings in Radeon Software -> Preferences -> Display. RGB or YCbCr tends to render colors differently, plus there's the "custom color" panel.

I have to manually change the color temperature to 8500k to make it look better. Perhaps its the panel but again without drivers why does it look soo much better.

That sounds very odd. Sounds like a coincidence to me, though it might of course be a bug of some sort. Either way it's definitely not good.

I wonder what exactly does the driver installs? Would it be a faulty ICC color profile?

I locked the AF/AE settings on the iPhone before taking these pics. They were taken in succession 10 seconds apart (i.e camera was not turned off between the shots)

I was talking about the picture on the screen, not your photo of the screen ;) For example, are the clouds actually cool white or warm white in their color data? The eyedropper tool in photoshop (and probably some equivalent in GIMP if you need something free) can check that for you.

It shouldn't install an ICC profile (if so you'd be able to see that in the windows display color management settings), but either it's trying to correct the colors from some unknown baseline (seems odd, I wouldn't expect that) or there's some sort of weirdness in the communication between the gpu and display (given that software settings are set to 6500). Is this a laptop, btw?

Might also be a bug with night light. It usually gives a slight reddish tint.

Maybe you could upload a same picture here, so guys with calibrated monitors may have a look at it. Or maybe some color professional can take a look at the color curves and tell us how the original image is. Then, we can draw some conclusions.

Edit: do you have the image taken in raw as well?

Yes this is the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G2 ARE Laptop - Type 20VF with 4700u 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD

It was part of Bing Images. I have Bing Desktop installed so it changes my wallpaper everyday. I cannot find the raw image but here is the link Image

Offtopic: what battery life are you getting under the different usage loads?

Under 'Intelligent Cooling' mode it can last a good 5-6 hours at 50% brightness. Unfortunately because I need to change the color temperature through Radeon Control Center the brightness somehow gets gimped so I have to turn it all the way up. I think with battery saver you can push 6-7 hours. IMHO screen is pretty bad but overall a great laptop (processor, RAM, SSD wise). Just for fun using RyzenAdj I was able to tweak the the boost settings which gave me an all 8core turbo of 4GHz@87degC with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of ~8100 which is close to the first gen Ryzen desktop chips. I think with some cooling mods and a repaste I can push further. Fun little powerful bad screen 14" book :P. I might change the screen later down the line to a better maybe 400nit/500nit one
