"Hopefully everyone will now at least agree that the y2p and the ab9+ share the same screen and the difference is in the panel tuning which should make it very easy for lenovo to fix. That can easily be pushed to anyone who already has one.

"so far everything said by Mark the rep on this forum points to the fix coming by way of a software update. This considers the whole span of validating the symptoms at various levels, making iterative changes, doing regression testing (depending on what changes are made) to ensure other things aren't broken, packaging the release and then publishing to the web.

Realistically, any update (generically speaking) to BIOS or power management is going to take about 2 weeks at minimum. I'll check to see if we have progress on Monday. That said, it appears that it is possible to affect the displayed color, and so I believe we are exploring what optimizations we could make via a potential update. We compared side by side with a Samsung 940X this morning.the greenish tint is an artifact of the specific LCD panel technology and is fairly consistent with other systems using the same panel. Some have suggested that the default settings on other systems that incorporate this panel may appear closer to a true yellow. As demonstrated by temporarily changing the Lenovo Energy Management to Performance mode, the yellow brightness can be increased considerably, with the result of shifting closer to a brighter yellow, rather than the somewhat olive tint with the default settings. The white sub-pixel is actually a clear pixel that allows the backlight to come through without any color filter, resulting in a brighter screen at much lower power consumption rates.

Yoga 2 Pro incorporates a PenTile panel, which uses a modified RGBW grid that differs from standard RGB in two ways: first, the physical pixel layout is different, and second, it uses a white sub-pixel (hence RGBW). I'd like to share a bit of information on the particular LCD display panel used in this, as well in some competitor models. Here are some select quotes from the thread: But, this will likely result in a decrease in battery life. Thus, Lenovo may be able to provide a pseudo-fix by reworking the BIOS or whatever instructs the screen on how much brightness to use to display colors in lower power settings. In comparing the yellows displayed on them, the Samsung 940X does a better job at lower power settings, and they are about the same at high power settings, but both still kind of suck compared to other screens. The display problem is a combination of a crappy screen (i.e., it's a hardware issue) and how Lenovo instructed the Yoga 2 Pro to display colors (i.e., it's also a non-hardware issue-firmware? I don't know what firmware means) because the Yoga 2 Pro uses the same screen as the Samsung 940X.

UPDATE: I've read all 37 pages of that thread and my conclusions are these:

There you can also view a picture of the problem. But, it is clearly an issue as it's one of the most popular threads in the support forums, with nearly 400 replies so far. We don't know if this issue is affecting just a few batches of the Yoga 2 Pro, or all of them. So, no official response from Lenovo yet. I called Lenovo and talked to both Sales and Tech Support but neither of them were aware of the problem.
