I am sure I could do some form of colour correction on my intel card but I was wondering if anyone here knew of any good colour correct resource or has faced a similar issue? I have an HP 7078CA if it makes any difference. Good hardware for specs but the screen is a little lacking and I'm sure thats where I saved my money.

(Should have some sort if utility for managing your screen, try using both the Intel & Nvidia programs u should have one for your integrated GPU and your dedicated GPU) Did u try using an external screen to check if has the same problem? How hot is your GPU? Does it go real hot often? (above or near 80 degrees?) Maybe it's a bad connection inside your laptop.

Luckily, the intel card drives the laptop screen 90% of the time and I can color correct on different monitors. My issue is I have no idea how to color correct and was having a hard time with google trying to figure it out :/

Play around a bit there, see what happens. Your default is normally every slider in the middle, if it isn't, be sure to memorize the settings or take a pic with your phone or so before u adjust them.

If the laptop has Optimus (Nvidia switchable graphics) with that GT 630M, then the color controls are in the Intel graphics properties under "color enhancement", not the Nvidia control panel. I think. Optimally, you'd have a color calibrator and run that, but if you're asking, you most probably don't own that kind of hardware. You can search around if anybody has your laptop and has generated an ICC profile with a calibrator and try that out. If it's using the same panel as yours, then you may get decent results—obviously not perfect as the screen will still have its own limitations and there is panel-to-panel variation meaning that theirs will not match yours—but that should be a lot better than the default. Failing both those things, you'd just eyeball it and mess with the sliders. Windows also has a control under "color management" somewhere, but it's much more primitive and only does brightness for each of red/green/blue. The Intel, AMD, and Nvidia controls should allow for brightness on top of contrast, gamma, etc. It may help to eyeball this screen while messing with colors: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/contrast.php
