Calibrated color profiles for W230SS

These ICC profiles are created with Spyder4Elite
It will help you get rid of the overall yellow tint of the original Chi Mei LCD panel and give much more natural colors

Following photos are for comparision, on the left is my W230SS and on the right is my Lenovo workstation Calibrated with Pantone colorimeter
All pictures are taken with static White Balance adjusted to match the Lenovo for accurate comparison.
W230SS looks kinda darker but thats because of the brightness settings so it does not matter, I just forgot to increase brightness…

W230SS no headphone sound fix.

Everything happy with my new laptop, but it had a problem that was quite irritating.

I could not get the headphones to work after my laptop wakes up from sleep mode.

I just figured out why, it was that the sound card of W230SS had a different way of handling sound traffic. It had a proprietary method of switching between channels and the default windows driver wasn’t handing them correctly.

I found that Clevo Control Center app was capable of handling them. Do this and you will get working headphones.

1. Download and install Clevo Control Center

2. Select the profile of your choice, and click on Gaming tab
