Default z70va screen adjustment utility?

Hi all,
I just received a z70va and I find the contrast on the screen to be a tad low - is there some sort utility I can get to adjust contrast and colour balance ?

Right-click on the desktop, then Properties>Settings>Advanced>Color

(pretty sure it's the same using any driver set...)

I know what you mean - I think most of the graphics cards have some sort of display adjustment in that advanced section. I have tried going to the ati site and getting their drivers but it says to contact my notebook manufacturer.

I used the ones that came with the notebook but all I have is shown in this attachment.

Yea I tried those drivers but they won't install - it tells me to contact my notebook manufacturer for driver updates. I haven't had much luck on the asus site either.

Thanks for your help though.

Asus isn't supported for Mobility Catalyst, so you'll either have to use Omega drivers, the regular Catalyst suite modified with Mobility Modder, or the driver directly from Asus (these are based on Catalyst 5.9).

I installed the latest Mobility from ATI, just had to install the Microsoft .net framework 1.1 first. Works better than supplied drivers so far.

Solved my vertical color bands during dvd playback too. See my other thread for info.
