    The colours look different, text is harder to read, what's going on?

    Are you sure it's the laptop?

    Did you go to Settings and display option? I think there may be a troubleshoot help, depending on how old your laptop is.

    OP it sounds like you’ve inadvertently either turned on High Contrast theme or dark mode.

    That should give you some idea of what to search for because you don’t give a whole lot of detail in your opening post.

    Nah I turned those on in the hope that they would fix the situation. It's improved slightly itself in the meantime. It might've been on the piss over the long weekend.

    prob the graphic chip loosening off the board, common issue (plagued some mac laptops). a good computer repair shop will be able to diagnose the problem reset the graphics chip onto the board for you.

    Go to the video card manufacturers site, get the latest drivers for it.
