ArcGIS Pro on my work laptop is has horrible color display. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

I apologize for the low quality picture. This is the only way I have to show what it looks like on my end. This is what the colors look like on my laptop:

This is what it looks like on my desktop:

As you can see, the colors are not even remotely close to what they should be on the laptop. Is there something that I can do in order to fix this?

First thing that comes to mind is video card differences - what is your laptop using and what is your desktop using? You can go to Device Manager->Display Adapters to find those out. Check to see if the video card drivers out of date and update. Another item to check is the Color Management options for AGP that you can learn more about here. There's a slider on the options UI here to "Enable Color Management" - maybe that will help?

So I'm actually remoted into another PC when I am using the laptop. The laptop itself does not have a video card but the PC I am remoting into does. All drivers are up to date. And it actually seems like it isn't just limited to ArcGIS Pro. Because if I take screenshot of the map and look at it in a photo viewer, the color issue still persists. So that actually means that the issue is with the laptop itself. I'm not sure what to do to correct it, however. I tinkered with the color management options in Pro as well and did not find any combination of settings that fixed the issue for me.

Be aware that some laptops are still sold with poor 18-bit color TN panels as a price/performance compromise, and they aren't necessarily the cheapest ones, that can only display about 50% of the sRGB color space. E.g. my own Acer Aspire VX15 gaming laptop, which is mid to high range in terms of price and high on performance (runs Pro decently on 32 GB RAM and 4GB video card), has such a screen. In the shop it looked OK running some music video with bright colors.

However, for any color sensitive work, it just sucks, the colors are way off due to the 18-bit limitation, versus 24/32 bit color on proper screens. I plug it into a proper desktop screen for any real work regarding styling of maps.

E.g., see this review of a similar Acer laptop having such a screen:

Acer Aspire V15 V5-591G review - solid specs and great price, but...

Marco,

That may be the case here. I have attempted to find out what kind of panel this machine has, but was unsuccesful. When I searched the model (Dell Latitude E5570) a new model with a 1920x1080 screen come up. This is an older model that has 720p screen. Is there a way to find out what kind of color support the panel has in the system UI? I checked DX diag and computer properties but did not see anything.
