Public bug reported:
Hi,
On a Lenovo Thinkpad T420, with an Intel Core i5-2520M CPU and
integrated graphics, when using a Samsung UE40J5200AW 40in TV with a
DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable, the colors are very wrong
on the TV.
This happens on a brand new Ubuntu 16.04 installation made from scratch,
and it does not happen when I boot from a Linux Mint 17.3 "Rosa"
Cinnamon 64-bit live DVD. So same laptop, same adapter, same cable, same
TV, and the colors are fine on the TV in this case (Mint live DVD).
Also, when switching the laptop with a Dell running Windows 8.1 (so the
same adapter, cable, and TV are used), the colors are again fine.
I have attached a picture that shows the laptop screen in front of the
TV screen with the display mirrored. So both screens should look the
same in the picture. But it looks like only the white color is the same,
while the rest of the colors are very different.
Thanks for your help,
Alin.
