Changing the Screen Saturation?

Anonymous

I am a digital artist who does a lot of graphic work. I purchased the Surface Pro 6 after using the Surface Pro 2 for years. Love drawing on it! However I’ve discovered that the Surface Pro 6 has a boosted saturation. This unfortunately impacts my color picking ability since the colors I see are actually different from what I’m actually choosing resulting in my finished work looking dull and washed out.

I have checked colors on my phone, both of my desktop monitors, my roommates’ desktop monitors and they all look the same. The only one that looks different is the Surface Pro 6.

I have done color calibration. I have turned off the dynamic brightness settings. I’ve adjusted the colors too since the Surface Pro 6 has a tendency to boost reds.

I’m wondering if there’s a way to adjust the saturation on the Surface Pro 6 so I don’t have to worry about adjusting how I pick colors just to try to make the end result turn out? Or if I just need to find a different tablet for this kind of work...

Thanks.

    In the Action Center there should be a button that toggles between sRGB and ENH

    • have you experimented with that setting?

    I did!

    apologies for the late reply! I expected an email notifcation and didn’t get one.

    I did toggle that setting. Unfortunately it doesn’t impact the saturation of colors on the screen.

    I don't know what to suggest, for most people, color calibration plus using sRGB

    provides accurate color. If you are in the US, it might be worthwhile to go to

    the closest physical retail Microsoft Store and show them your issue and see if

    they have anything to suggest
