i have a lenovo t430 with an i7 and a monitor LG w1953t.. i have connected laptop to my monitor with a VGA cable and the colors on my monitor are way too orange compared to my laptop screen..

as you can see from the picture.. the laptops screen looks normal but the monitor screen is non usable..
->properly connected at either ends
->did a factory reset on my monitor
->updated display drivers
any more suggestions?

The T430, 3rd Gen i5/i7, onboard graphics?

While it appears to be an extreme case, that just looks like an older analog connected monitor next to a digital signal panel to me.

I would try another VGA cable to rule that out, but I suspect it is what it is.

Which variant of the T430 do you have? One had a 1366x768 display (which would match your monitor), the upgraded version was 1600x900.

Go into the monitor's settings and look for something called Color Temperature. Try setting it to 6500K or around 7400K. That's usually what laptop screens are up around. External monitors usually have a better range which extends down to 5500K (more orange).

Technically, 5500K (sunlight) or 6500K (sunlight + blue sky) are correct. The temps around 7400K (closer to blue sky-only - i.e. light in the shade) are the "natural" color of most LED lighting, so many screen manufacturers (especially for laptops) cheap out and don't bother correcting for it.

Edit:

OK, that's different. You might still be able to correct it with the color temp setting. But it sounds more like:

• 
  ■One of the signal pins on your laptop's VGA connector isn't transmimtting a signal. Run a dead pixel test (alternate screens of pure red, green, blue) to make sure all three color signals are being transmitted properly. If the screen blacks out or doesn't display pure R, G, or B on these screens, that's your problem.

  ■Or the default values in your laptop video card's color LUT (look-up table - for correcting colors) may be horribly off. A lot of times this is due to canned software that ships with the laptop for things like "cinema mode". Try to see if there's any software like that which purports to adjust the display colors depending on what type of viewing you're doing, and disable it. Worst case you can try borrowing someone's colorimeter and generating a new color profile. The steps for doing that are rather involved so try this last.
