By the specifications listed on your AW190 CTO, the Adobe RGB color management software is supposed to be there. Check again under accessories to see if it's bunched up with the other VAIO software or maybe under the VAIO control center. If no luck, I'd be calling Sony again to inquire about it. Just be prepared to have all your documentation of purchase to follow up on and be firm with the Sony CS rep. They can certainly be " snobbish " at times.

yes, it was pre-installed. I must admit I dont really know how to use it tho. I tried it, but dont get good results.

adobe gamma is in the control panels.

it's nothing special, just a way of generating a screen profile... but it uses your eyes and a calibration puck is so much more accurate and less easily fooled.

its because the RGB LED screens have wide gamut that can throw images out, so calibrating them helps within colour managed applications.

anyone else with the flicker on RGB LED screen?

adobe gamma is in the control panels.

I see no Adobe Gamma in the control panel for my RGB LED AW, could someone do a screen capture of their control panel with it in it?

Maybe I somehow uninstalled it?

here you are...

[robf23]

do you have any flicker on low brightness?

[robf23]

and mine wont hold brightness either... if i dim it via the keyboard it goes back to full when the power save kicks in or if i swap from PSU to battery... if i do it via the nvidia control panel, it forgets it on restart, although the values are the same, the brightness needs nudging to dim back to where it should be...

I am not sure who you are asking, but I do not have that problem.

Thanks for the screen capture.

I don't have any flicker at all.
