Step 4: Once you see the checkmark appear, click the 'Save' button at the bottom of the options window to confirm.

Method 2: Utilize Windows' Calibrate Display Color

Step 2: On the Windows screen, open Start and type Calibrate Display Color, the system will automatically find this feature displayed as shown below. Click on Calibrate Display Color.

Step 3: The Calibrate feature opens as shown below, click Next.

Step 4: Continue clicking Next until the Adjust Gamma interface appears as shown below, use the mouse to drag the blue knob from the middle position down to touch the bottom bar and then click Next.
