Re: Yellow tint on my laptop ASUS VivoBook 15 X512FA-EJ373T

DMutn · ‎05-22-2020

Just bought ASUS vivobook 15 X512FA-EJ373T

Core i3 10th 15.6 inch display

And found that my laptop's display is showing yellowish color. I have checked all the display settings, updated the windows, updated all drivers, also reset the laptop, but still my laptop display showing yellowish color. You can clearly see the difference in pictures attached. Left-hand side is my Laptop and Right-hand side is my friend's laptop. I think, this is a refurbished unit or this issue is coming only in this series of laptops or maybe there is a display issue only in this particular unit. Other wise laptop is good except display yellowish color.

Please share your experiences, if you guys have also facing the same issue on your Asus laptop.

Hi DMutn,

Can you please let me know if your issue (yellow tint) is resolved or not yet.

I have same issue on my Dell 7420 from day 1 (of course not same as yours), but my issue is exactly same as yours.

So I want to know if this got resolved. If so, how.

Kindly reply.

DxDiag report

AndrewG_Intel · ‎05-26-2020

Hello DMutn

Thank you for your response and all the details provided.

After checking all the information and considering that on an external display connected to the laptop you do not have the "yellowish color" issue on the external display, this seems to be a "laptop screen issue" related to the specific configuration, design and/or capabilities of the panel of the built-in display and this doesn't seem to be a driver issue.

The drivers provided by ASUS* for your Intel component might have been changed or customized. We recommend using the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM, in this case, ASUS*) driver so you don’t lose features or customizations.

However, since you mentioned you already tested with the latest ASUS* drivers, reset the laptop and trying different settings in Windows®, Intel® Command Center, and Intel® HD Graphics Control Panel, in this case, we recommend checking further with your OEM regarding this color issue on the built-in display.

Best regards,

Andrew G.

Just uninstall Myasus app that comes preinstalled. That's the problem for the yellowish tint

lutfiraeshad · ‎07-24-2023

Hello DMutn,

If you're still using your ASUS Vivobook and you still have faced this problem, I recommend you to try this method. Most tutorial that spread on the Internet or YouTube forced you to remove ICC files on "C:\ProgramData\ASUS\ASUS System Control Interface\ASUSOptimization\Splendid" directory, which most people found this method doesn't work.

Another method is uninstall MyAsus or disable ASUS Optimization in msconfig, which will compromised your keyboard backlit or hotkey features. After I deeply searched various method on the Internet, I found that you have to reset color profiles and disable ASUS Splendid drivers. I tested it on my ASUS Vivobook 14 laptop running Windows 11 Home and it working permanently (thanks to anonymous user that posted his/her method to disable ASUS Splendid driver on Reddit).

Nonetheless, it will compromised your ASUS Splendid option (you will not be able to change color temperature in MyASUS anymore until you enable the driver and reinstall MyASUS).

So, here's the steps :

1. Reset display color profiles in your graphics app. In my case, I have Intel UHD Graphics and here is the steps for it :

1a. Open Intel Graphics Command Center

1b. Choose Display > Color

1c. In Color Profiles section, choose Restore to Original Colors

2. Open file explorer, and delete Splendid foler on "C:\ProgramData\ASUS\ASUS System Control Interface\ASUSOptimization". Make sure you enabled show hidden files option (Folder Options > View > choose "Show hidden files, folders, and drives")

3. Press Win + R, type "devmgmt.msc", then choose Monitors

4. In my case, the monitor name is "MyASUS_Splendid", so you just have to right click on that driver, and choose "Disable device"

5. Restart your laptop

============================

LAST UPDATE!

I'm very apologize to any viewers or even DMutn, because with this method, it compromised brightness adjustments (you can't adjust brightness if you disable the driver).

In the other side, I figure out that there's a chance to fix this problem by deleting AsusSplendid.dll and AsusSplendid.exe in AsusOptimization folder by opening AsusOptimization.exe file location in Details tab in Task Manager. But when I tried to delete it, it require permission from SYSTEM to delete that file. I tried to change the security owner but it ends nothing. So, if you have a solution to delete that two files that I've mentioned, please reply my post.

(anyway, I have to delete my YouTube tutorial links because it's obsolete)

That is ok. We love responses to a 3-year old thread with your 14 edits when you do not have a solution.

lutfiraeshad · ‎07-24-2023

Hi AlHill,

For me, I just want to help people. I have to edit my posts a lot because I don't want my solution and the way I explain to people to be mistaken. The first solution that I wrote was worked but in a temporary time, and I don't want people blame me because of that. So I deeply searched and I found the permanent solution. I know that replying someone post from 3 years ago is potentially useless. Maybe he even forget about his 3-years old post. Nonetheless, there's possibility that he still use his 3-years old laptop. And also, many people that have the same problem will going to the old community posts like this 3-years-old-ASUS-yellow-tint-screen-problem post. So, why not? #peace

AlHill · ‎07-24-2023

And, advertising your youtube was not your intent?

lutfiraeshad · ‎07-24-2023

That's my intention to upload the method on my YouTube channel because I don't want make people confuse about the method, and there's a lot of people who find PC troubleshooting on YouTube (btw, I'm not intended to advertise my Youtube channel for money, and I don't hope in a lot of views or subscribers)

Hello everyone who're reading this post and have the same problem with us,

First of all, I apologize for all of my mistakes, either in bad proofreading on my previous post (if it hasn't been deleted by the moderators) or in the previous methods I used to write here. I also apologize to user AlHill and n_scott_pearson for any notifications that came to your email inbox because of my previous post which has a lot of revisions.

Once again, I must emphasize that I'm just here to help all of you who have the same problem as me. NO INTENTIONS for self-promotion whatsoever.

So, back to the topic.

After doing several research and experiment for a really long time, I finally found a "semi"-permanent method to solve this "yellow tint screen on ASUS laptop" problem, but I suggest you to read the disclaimer first.

Disclaimer:

This method will compromise/DISABLE the "Splendid" feature in MyASUS, so you won't be able to customize your color profile
You should always perform this method every time your MAJOR Windows Update is finished.
DWYOR - Do With Your Own Risk! I AM NOT responsible for any bad possibilites that may happen to your laptop.

So, here is the method:

Open Device Manager (devmgmt.msc or "Win + X" > "Device Manager"), choose "Monitors", right-click on "MyASUS_Splendid", then choose "Update Driver".
Choose "Browse my computer for drivers" > "Let me pick from a list" > "Generic PnP Monitor" > "Next".
[DO THE BACKUP FIRST!] Delete ALL ICC Profile (.icm file) on "C:\ProgramData\ASUS\ASUS System Control Interface\ASUSOptimization\Splendid" and "C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color\AsusICM".
If your ASUS laptop is Intel Graphics-based, I suggest you to open Intel Graphics Command Center, choose "Display" > "Color", then in Color Profiles section, choose "Restore to Original Colors" (skip this steps if your ASUS laptop is AMD Graphics-based)
Restart your laptop

Please correct me by reply this post if you're found a mistake in this method.

Thanks.

Best Regards,
lutfiraeshad

What I would like to know is: What happened to the good old days when someone would actually take the time to prepare a post properly before delivering it in the first place and not have to re-post 30-odd (!!!) times with edits? I mean seriously, it's a real pain having to process all of these notification emails showing up in my inbox. Please do some proofreading before posting next time.

Sheesh!

...S

AlHill · ‎07-25-2023

It will not matter to him, as he still thinks there is value to this 3-year old thread.

Also, I count 40+ edits. If he were to proofread before posting, it would take him a year to get it right.

Alright, now I'll do proofreading correctly. Thank you for your critics.

Alright, I apologize for my bad proofreading. Thank you for your critics.

My ASUS VivoBook has had a yellow tint from new. When I connect via HDMI to my Samsung TV the picture is perfect.

The ASUS Splendid is apparently not installed but there are some 8 files lurking which include that name.

There is a .pf file which was modified when I logged onto my laptop earlier.

What to do?
