Warnings Issued About Your Screen Resolution When Changing Your Car

Wednesday, 12. May 2010

Warnings have been issued regarding the screen resolution of your computer. Well not exactly the resolution itself but the affect that your screen resolution can have on the colour options shown on the manufacturer web sites. Customers, ordering new cars, have been choosing colours from the car manufacturer’s website only to be totally disappointed when the car has turned up looking several shades away from that expected. Manufacturers always add a disclaimer to their colour selector, as they do in their brochures, but with those leasing cars, not wishing to call into a dealer to ‘test drive’ the colour, more and more complaints are being made to manufacturers about the actual colour vs the screen colour. In many cases this could well be the computer you are viewing the colours on. So if you are sensitive about the shade of colour when ordering up a new car the best thing to do is call into a dealer and view the colour on the metal. Don’t forget if you have leased the car you may have to drive around in the colour chosen for the next 3 years. By Graham Hill
