Could you give us the calibrated file please.

Displays are pretty unique. I know a lot of people in avsforum that ask for settings for a particular TV so they can be "calibrated" too.

It's like borrowing someone else's underwear. They may fit but it ain't going to feel right.


ColorHCFR is a free calibration program but you need a colorimeter. Spyder 2, Eye One Display 2 or LT are cheaper ones if you don't want to make your own.

What is the color temp on the DV6 lghtwave? It looks noticably bluer in the lower right part of the rock than the 2408wfp.

Hello everybody. Just now I checked HP's Website and there is a new BIOS Update (dated 17/05/2011). I was expecting it to be F.07 but the version number is shown as F.14. Also, in the description part, there is something written in Chinese (which I can't understand and also Google Translate does not help). So has anyone tried it out yet ?

You don't need to do anything if you recently got your laptop. They are same F.14. I've tried.

Hey guys I just looked on the HP website and now they have a color option for the Dv7t Quad Edition. You can get it in Umber or Steel. The Steel option is $25 more. Also it looks like the price of the laptop went up and they took away some of the free upgrades. My laptop will arive today. I will be happy with any of the two colors! This will be my third replacement I'm receiving so I just hope there is nothing wrong with the laptop!

dgobe is right. Displays vary so it may not look exactly same but can be somewhat better than the factory setting.

Anyway, here's my underware. lol

Hey I again can't find the secondary HDD kit for the HP DV7. I'm gonna purchase it tonight if someone sends me the link along with this Newegg.com - Corsair Force Series 3 CSSD-F120GB3-BK 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

I orderd mines through NEWMODEUS. They have a backorder until 7JUN. I'm still waiting.

Anybody has any idea???
Am I the only one with this auto-restarting problem??

I just did clean install Windows 7 and it's working fine. It was powered on since last night and there's no fan noise nor over-heat so far. Mine is dv6 by the way.
I'm sure you can still send to HP to fix the issue if it's the hardware problem.

I had a lot of BSODs all of a sudden recently, I set the Page File to disabled to delete it, then turned it back onfor a fresh pagefile. I also seemed to have crashes while Google Chrome was running, uninstalled that and reinstalled, I don't trust it so am not using and no crashes so far. I need to use my machine more to confirm.
BSODs don't reboot your machine automatically, though, As far as I know.

Your machine will also reboot automatically if a Windows Update needs it. So you might check your update history and see if any dates match.

I forgot to mention you might try setting the machine to 'always on' and see if it still appears to reboot.

My laptop (dv6-6077) after a week of the use began to peep sometimes, what is it? help me please

I got one BSOD when I first started playing around with mine. I had Firefox and a bunch of other programs loaded, and the switchable graphics kicked in and I didn't bother to read the warning and clicked ok. The screen flashed as normal, then I got the BSOD when it came back up. I haven't had a single problem since that one mistake on my part, lol.

I'm so loving my dv7t!

I installed the new F.14 BIOS update (available in HP's Website Software and Driver Downloads). After installing it, I got the option of enabling Virtualization Technology. Previously, I was having F.06 (it came pre-installed) and there was no option in BIOS to enable Hardware Assisted Virtualization.
