A720 Screen has Bluish Tint

Hello,
I need some help with my screen I have gone through numerous steps to adjust but the screen still seems to have a bluish tint. A newer driver is out but I am unable to install it for some reason. Reinstalling the recommended driver has not helped.
Any suggestions?

dcxman:
Not sure if you have resolved this issue yet, but I had this issue this morning. (I have a B320)
If you go to the Intel (R) HD Graphics icon located in the Notification area of your Task bar>Select: Graphic Properties>Select: Adcanced Mode>Select: Monitor/TV Settings>Scroll to bottom and select Restore Factory Default.
I had to do it a few times, then restarted the machine. Everything is back to normal now.
Hope this helps if you are still dealing with the issue.

Looks like my screen has yellow tint problem.

looks like my screen has yellow tint problem, images look more yellowish. Does anyone have similar issue with their mac airs?

This isn't an actually an issue. Apple have recently changed the screens they put in all their devices. If you were to put an iPhone 4 bought on release date next to one bought a month ago you would see that the older iPhone 4 would have a "bluer" screen. This is because the old screens had unnaturally bright whites so the new screens are supposed to be closer to the real colours and give a broader range of colours.

LCD as second screen has purple tint!! Help!!

Hello all,
I have just connected a 19" LCD screen to my iBook 14" through the DVI adapter that came with my mac. While the iBook has instantaneously mirrored my desktop, the LCD screen has a heavy purple tint on it. The screen on my iBook is still fine but the LCD screen is unworkable. Everything appears on it, its just heavily purple-ised. Does anyone know why this is, and what I can do about it?
Any help greatly appreciated
regards,
Glen Kristensen

Sorry, my mistake, the LCD screen I am using as a second screen is 17" not 19". I Have tried on another screen (but the same model) so I am sure the problem is with the iBook. I don't really see why the iBook underpowering the external screen would make it turn purple. Let me just clarify, the screen is displaying everything crystal clearly, the only problem is that there is a purple hue or tint over everything. So for example the colour white isn't white on the second screen but purple.

Screen has yellow tint

Whenever I turn my imac on it has a yellow tint. I've done the color calibration. Sometimes it'll turn back to normal, but when I shutdown/sleep and turn it back on it'll turn yellow again. Then other times when I do the color calibration, it won't even change, the screen will still have a yellow tint. I have no idea how this happened. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,
First, make sure your iMac is or is not on the Apple Repair Extension program: http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/ this addresses some video and power issues...
The only way I can make my screen slightly yellow or amber is through calibrating the display while in expert mode:
System Preferences > Displays > Color... from here pick any Display Profile to Calibrate, CHECK the box for Expert Mode, continue without changing anything till you reach 'Target White Point', you should check the box 'Use Native White Point', continue and SAVE AS a new profile name... this should get you back to nuetral white... if this fixes the problem you can always go back and calibrate this profile and tweak any settings you wish

Can you help me fix my screen? It randomly has a bluish tint, bad resolution and horizontal flashing lines

Hi all,
It's a 15" 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo MBP running on Leopard 10.5.8, bought spring 2008.
About a couple of weeks ago, my screen started randomly switching to a strange blue / purple tint along with a bad resolution (can't really read text on screen) and flashing horizontal lines in the background. It started worrying me given I'm working with it all the time and am hoping for this machine to hold on for a few more months until I can buy a new one.
It would happen randomly for a few minutes at a time and then revert back to normal screen.
I found a lot of references to a similar problem in a few threads such as this one:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1456983?tstart=0
My screen has gone strange again now and isn't reverting back to normal so far even after I tried restarting it. It was normal for 2 min only ans then back to bluish. I tried all the display fixes indicated in the threads but none of them work and I'm not exactly sure my issue is the same given I can still see the tint and horizontal lines in particular if the screen saver goes on, and the resolution on screenshots I've seen of other people having blue tint screen issues seems to be normal (as in text is legible).
Any ideas on how to fix it? Do you think it might be more of a software or hardware problem..? Would it help if I try upgrading my Mac OS?
Thank you very much for your time

Thanks a lot for the reply, I was worried would say that outright. Screen just only reverted back to normal after a couple of hours. As you said probably best to bring it in for diagnosis, I'll try to do that asap though of course I'm nowhere neaar any AASP at the moment.

Bluish tint on screen when Photoshop CS6 running

Hi!
I just bought a MacBook Pro three weeks ago. I'm running Mountain Lion. Also, I have my copy of Adobe Photoshop CS6.
Something very unusual is happening. I'm a Graphic Designer and currently doing an Interior Design major. I calibrated my monitor perfectly. But now, ever since I installed CS6, every time I open Photoshop, a bluish tint sets on the screen, affecting every program running (browsers, for example) and it's very annoying (not to mention it disrupts any color calibration I made to my monitor). The only solution to this problem is closing Photoshop (the problem persists even if I minimize Photoshop to use another program).
I tried opening Illustrator and it works fine. Only with Photoshop this is happening.
I searched on Apple discussion boards for similar cases and found nothing.
What's interesting, I took screenshots to send them to a friend and the screenshots don't seem to be affected by this phenomenon.
Have I gone crazy or someone here has an idea on this?
Thank you!

As I said in my post on the Apple board, my bluish tint problem when switching graphics cards eventually just went away - no idea why. And I tried recalibrating when I had the blue tint screen but do no avail.
I can open Photoshop and use it with my Intel integrated card sometimes - PS itself doesn't seem to make the switch automatically. But when I open Bridge (which I use almost always) the discrete graphics card kicks in. My temporary solution was to use gfxCardStatus on discrete all of the time. And after a while, when I began switching to integrated while on battery, my problem vanished.
But if you've a new MBP (mine's a late 2011 yet still under warranty until 2015) I'd take it back to the Apple Store and have them switch it out for another machine. The problem doesn't seem to crop up often (else there would be many more complaints) and it seems to be only on 2011 and 2012 machines. I don't think it's an Adobe problem at all as it happened to me when any app that uses discrete graphics would kick in (including Google Chrome).
I didn't send in a bug report to Apple because I thought that the problem was only with my machine. Yours is only the fourth time I've heard of the dreaded blue tint occurring. Take your machine back to the Apple Store and show them the problem. Maybe they will have a better fix than just using gfxCardStatus.

Lite bluish tint to screen

Hi -
Just got the new Imac dual core a few weeks ago and woke it out of sleep mode and noticed a slight flicker happened, and now I feel like there is a lite bluish tint to all the whites now (for example looking at the Google homepage), almost as if a light blue thin film has been placed over the monitor screen.
I reset all the monitor calibrations in System Preferences but nothing seemed to change.
It's not interfering with any work but is driving me crazy, like an itch I can't scratch.
Also, don't know if its related but I notice a light constant flicker with the monitor goes into sub-sleep mode and the screen dims for a bit.
Anyone else had this problem or heard anything like it? Not sure if its worth taking in to Apple store...
thanks for any input

I notice it only when I view the monitor from an angle. I figured I'm just going to live with it because you really can't use the computer while viewing the monitor from an angle.
A very reasonable approach; I suspect you enjoy using your computer.
I never understood how important work could be done while viewing grey bars across one's screen looking for minute colour variations. When my screen blanker was displaying my photos with the Ken Burns effect, I looked hard to see the colour variation in a given portion of the photo as the photo moved at various angles across the screen - couldn't swear I could see a problem on the monitor I'm using now. If I stare hard enough at alternating light and dark grey bars on the screen, I might even see the Shroud of Turin on the screen eventually. On this monitor or any monitor.
Okay, I'll be serious for a moment...
I am not denying there are some with very evident and serious colour problems of course. But for the vast majority, considering the price of the entire 27" iMac is less than half the price of a professional-grade colour Eizo monitor... e.g. $4,400 for a 30" monitor with 97% Adobe RGB colour-space and only 290 cd/m², I don't think every monitor will be perfectly uniform. Eizo verifies uniformity over 25 points on the display. I don't know what Apple does of course.

I have noticed several people saying they can tolerate a little colour variation, but the flickering / tearing / blackouts are not acceptable. I agree with that and also expect those problems will be resolved in our first year of ownership so everyone will be covered by their warranty.

You have posted in the G5 forum, but yes, there have been reports of color problems with the new intel, usually a yellowish tint near the bottom of the screen. In any case, call Apple and discuss it with them, and make sure you get Apple Care before the end of your first year of ownership!

Screen has a yellow tint?

When you tilt the classic's screen towards an angle (tilted towards the top right corner and the bottom left corner) at a white background, the whole screen has a yellow tint. Is this normal?
Thanks.

Yes, I believe it is. LCD screens are meant to be looked at straight on to get true color and brightness.

My 2013 15" retina macbook pro screen has a yellow tint, should i ask for a replacement?

So yesterday i got my retina macbook pro 15 " and right away i noticed my worst fear ( since i previously had read some similar stories) my screen has a noticeable yellow tint specially on white tones, websites have a "newspaper look " to them, since i bought this computer because im starting web design in university in a couple of months i would say i'm pretty much ******, people say i shoud just calibrate it, but most people dont calibrate their screen, so it would be a mess, my work would look good on my computer but ****** on other's people computer
I'm very surprised because i thought this issue only affected the initial batch of retina macbook pros, but i checked my serial online and my computer was made in January 2013 so its quite new, the panel is a Samsung "LSN154YL01001.
I have read that usually LG panels don't suffer as much from the yellow tint but they suffered from Image retention, is it stil like this? what do you think i should do should i keep this computer with the samsung screen or get apple to give me a new one hopefully with a LG panel or at least a samsung without yellow tint

Actually MOST People that work in all parts of the Design field DO Calibrate their screens. It is the only way to make sure what you are looking at on your computer screen will be the same on other design professionals screens and to the general public.
Wherever you got the notion that Design professionals and or design schools of all types don't calibrate their screens is completely incorrect.
So it is up to you whether you calibrate or not and or to return that Retina for one that has a better color balanced screen from the start. Along with that the new unit you get may have other problems as the Retina models are plagued with random problems. The screens only be one of them.

My iPhone 5 has bluish screen. Is it normal?

Hi! I just got my iPhone 5 and it is great. But the screen on it has blue tint to it. My 4s looked white in natural, but on my iPhone 5 colores have blue tint. Is it difect or it is normal?

Quiet rattle is normal, very loud rattle noise is unusual. If there is loud rattle, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for evaluation.

My iPad screen has a red tint

My iPad screen has a red tint, anything I can do to fix this?

I'm not the greatest when it comes to taking care of my iPad, that being said. I've dropped it a few times. I've had this issue, it can be easily fixed by holding down the home button and power button for at least 30sec. If this doesn't work then repeat. This has worked for me in the past and my iPad works just fine. By doing this your resetting the LCD. Hope this helps!

Satellite L15 the screen has a red/pink tint

When i power on my toshiba Satellite L15 the screen has a red/pink tint and then about 2 min later it is fine untill the next time i power on the computer is this the screen it self or the inverter?

Hi
Its not easy to say if its screen or FL inverter issue.
FL inverter controls the screen backlight and usually if the FL inverter start malfunctions, then you will see pictures on the screen like behind a thick fog.
So possibly its screen issue but this is just an assumption.
However, FL inverter is not very expensive but the notebook screen is one of the expensive notebook parts so Im not sure if its worth to replace the screen and to pay 200-300 Euros for the fix

HELP! Two new HTC Thunderbolts & one screen has a purple tint!

So I just bought two HTC Thunderbolts, got them all set up and then realized that one has a purple tint! I compared all the settings to the other phone and everything matched.
The color was like this before any 3rd party applications were downloaded & the phone is not rooted or altered in any way.
I've googled to try to find any calibration apps or if anyone else has this problem and have come out unsuccessful. I know I can always perform a hard reset but wanted to see if there is any other alternate way to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for all the feed back! Certainly is a strange issue for a brand new, out of the box phone. I did in fact perform the master reset, went through the setup process, personalized the phone & long behold, the same issue.
Again, I compared the settings to the other Thunderbolt; Identical. Tried different wallpapers, skins, themes and nothing has changed.
Went through and checked for SW update, there was a firmware update that I did start. After it was completed, same issue.
I'm at a loss for what may be causing this. I mean, it is bothersome that EVERYTHING on the screen has a purple tint...
I'm not 100% sure that this is a "warranty" issue? Maybe it's something AraceliT_VZW can answer for me?
Thanks for all the help!

Satellite A200 - Screen has a pink tint

Over the past few months my screen has developed a pink tint...
I'm wondering if it will get any worse - and whether it can be repaired?
Any info would be much appreciated, cheers

Hi
Possibly its display malfunction.
In such case only a part replacement could help you.
You can also connect an external monitor to this notebook and could check if this would be noticeable on the 2nd monitor too.
If external monitor would be affected, then the issue is related to graphic chip.
