Color Banding on Dell* Laptops with Intel® Integrated Graphics

When viewing an image or video playback on the darker part (low-end blacks) systems with Intel 6th-10th Generation Intel Processors with integrated graphics experience color banding (contouring) issues on Dell* XPS and Dell* Precision notebook systems with the Dell* Premier Color application.

This is a known issue on Dell* XPS laptops with the Dell* Premier Color application installed. The application is changing the Wide Gamut color calibration in a way that conflicts with the Intel integrated graphics.

A workaround to resolve the issue is to:

1. Uninstall or disable the Dell Premier Color app.
2. Open the Intel Graphics Command Center.
3. Navigate to Display -> Color.
4. Click the “Restore to Original Color” button.

   

If the issue persists, contact Dell Support.
