Screen Discoloration
Yellow Tint to Screen
Yellow tint on the screen is caused by Asus Splendid Utility that is disabled by default, to be on "Eye Care." To remove the yellow tint, start by pressing the windows button on the bottom left to open the search bar. In the search bar type "Splendid Utility" and select the application by that name. When the utility is open click on the button that says "Normal" and that would remove the yellow tint off the screen.
