It may fit, but does it affect opening the lid?

Hello Risco,

Very true!

Have you tried Fn + C key?

It changes the color profile, from normal, vivid, theater and so forth.

It also leaves the chosen profile intact after a reboot.

Best regards,

KOR!

Yeah makes everything look horrible! I have done some tweaking and I found contrast set to about 78 in notebook panel properties does the job.

Is this laptop limited to 1366x768 resolution by the screen itself or the video card. Could you replace this screen with a screen from another ASUS laptop with 1600 x 900 resolution and it work?

anyone have any news on bigger batteries that really fit???
im really really happy with my n61, but the battery life is so sad! 2hours max with all possible stuff off (wifi, BT, aero, brightness low, etc)
thanks =)

Unless you are upgrading your version of windows 7 (expensive and not recommended for the few features it adds) there is no need to buy a retail copy of windows 7. Just reinstall using the CD key located on the sticker on the bottom of your N61. Your N61 purchase includes a license for Windows 7 Home Premium. Meaning, you can run one copy of Win 7 HP on your N61, regardless of who installed it or how many times it is installed. Downloading the windows 7 install disk from the internet and burning it to DVD or copying to a USB key IS NOT illegal. Activating Windows using a license you did not purchase and own IS illegal.

You just have to make sure you use the correct disk. There are two disks: OEM and retail. OEM keys work with OEM disks, and vice versa. The OEM key from the sticker on the bottom will not work with a retail Win 7 disk. At least that's the way I understand it.

@ Risco : so how are you calibrating your monitor now? I just got my N61JQ-A1 and the blue tint is quite obvious. Do you still recommend using your old post?

sm0k3d: it is the screen's limitation. The video card will happily output to higher res.

If you can find a 1600x900 screen that fits and installs with little or no major wiring work, that would be awesome.

I have better results just using the ATI notebook panel properties. After adjusting the contrast it is now obvious too me the contrast ratio limitations are being covered up by Asus by using over high default lcd contrast settings. Unfortunately, the high contrast not only burns your eye, but makes everything look blue.

You can also fix the blue tint using CCC (as opposed to Win 7 color profiles). See my post here. According to Risco, the Desktop Properties settings do not stick when playing some games, but this is also the case with Win 7 profiles. I found that I could not fix the blue tint with the Desktops & Displays settings alone.

Steve, your profile is a vast improvement but still too contrasty for delicate work. See Black level - Lagom LCD test and White saturation - Lagom LCD test Under your profile, subtle shading is lost. I found an overall contrast of 92 adds a lot of fidelity in the bright white saturation without sacrificing much display brightness.
