Display has yellowish tint

I recently had my macbook pro replaced by apple care a few days ago and everything is great except for one thing. The display has a yellowish tint to it, ive reinstalled osx, resetted pram and it still is there. I calibrated it, and while its better, it still is not as good as my old macbook pro model (which is a core duo, this is a core 2 duo). I went to a compusa near me and looked at the new macbook pros, none of them have this tint. Basically what I am asking is if this is how some C2D models are or is this a problem? Thanks for help in advance.
Macbook Pro C2D   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

I have had trouble calibrating my MBP display with the calibration tools built in to OSX. My problem was a pink tint and could not get rid of it. So after looking around Google for a while I found a program called SuperCal, and it helped alot. I am willing to bet that it'll help you get rid of your yellowish tint. Check it out.

  • Macbook pro retina display has pinkish tint?

    I have bought a  macbook pro 15.4" with retina display.Everything is good but the screen.When I had a white wallpaper , then I saw the pinkish tint on the left and the normal white on the right, specially in the evening or in low light.How can I fix this? I went to the Apple care center but they said that it was normal. I tried the calibration in color setting but I found it very difficult.
    Doesn't any one else have the same problem?  How to fix that? If you have the calibrated icc profile for this problem please share with me.Thanks!

    Hi Rzeng123, Thanks for sharing. I also sent my MBPR for second time LCD replacement. But I have no confidence with apple now I am pretty sure I will end up with a second YELLOW screen just like you.I bought my mac in London, but I am right now in Singapore there is no apple store only got reseller and authorized service centre. So I can only send my mac to the authorized service centre for repair. Luckily the manager is not blind as yours but they keep telling me that this kind of obvuous yellowish screen has no problem and it is perfect within specification. So he refused to help me change again at first until I speak to a senior apple advisor through phone call( I have spoken to apple technique support for three times before I finally speak to this "useful senior guy".) The manager in the service centre agreed for a second replacement and as he said before no guarantee.  I don't understand why Apple didn't draw attention to this issue. U and me are not the special cases. I did reserch online before I took my mac for repair people were complaining the same problem as we are. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1561150
    As for calibration, this is useless for my machine I have tried to adjust the color.May be I will try after I get my second replacement.  Like u said every apple staff are trying to convince us this yellow screen is normal, if it was why the devices sold in store are not yellow ? They service mananger even told me that those sell in store now are the first batch of manufacturing and they are actually with defects but this yellow one are the second batch with improvement and it is better than the white on
    I also take my mac to a retail apple store for comparison just like the picture shown below the left one is a normal retina display and the yellow one on the right is my poor mac.

  • Display has a yellow hue/tint...

    My display has a yellow hue/tint and it is not being caused by a screen protector (which is clear). Also did a factory reset (didn't expect it to work) and it didn't help. I'm comparing the display to a at&t iphone 4 display. The hue/tint is consistent throughout display, no lines nor spotting, nor has the phone been in the heat.

    Verizon's iphone has a Yellow hue. And I dont believe its going to "cure" or go away ...
    PS: For those of you like "Thomas" who say its "Just fine". Please hold your AT&T iphone up next to your Verizon iPhone. You'll see its not "just fine". Love when people just rattle off comments like this with zero research...
    Since I don't happen to have both an AT&T iPhone and a Verizon iPhone, I did a different test. I viewed a photo on my Verizon iPhone and held it up next to the identical photo on the screen of my MacBook Pro. The iPhone photo was very slightly darker, but there was absolutely no color cast. I repeated this for a number of different images with different palettes, and none showed the slightest yellow color cast.
    Note that one should not confuse reading posts online from people with zero technical knowledge talking about a "problem" with actual research.

  • Macbook Pro Display has a pink tint to it

    Ever since I upgrade to 10.6 my display has been wiggin out on me. Half the screen usually has this pink tint to it. Sometimes it's only 2-3 inches across but goes to the top and bottom. Don't know what's going on with my display. Is it due to heat? Cause my laptop still gets freaking hot. I have done a hardware test and passed. When I connect it to another display, it doesn't show up on the other monitor. I can grab the top of the monitor and by pressing gently I can make it go away, but as soon as I release it goes back. I used to be able to press on it and it would go away for awhile. Any suggestions?

    I am encountering the same problem with my MBP. I was wondering if you have any updated information on what you have found out?

  • IPhone 5s display has yellow hue/warmer colors?

    Should I be concerned that my 5s's display is warmer than the display on my 4, 4s and iPad 3?
    With full brightness on each device, the 4, 4S, and iPad 3 all have, well, "normal" whites. My 5s display has a yellow-ish hue to everything. Unnoticeable on most things (like photos), but in Messages and such, it's noticeably yellow.
    Anyone else having this issue? I love 5s to death other than this, so I dunno whether it's worth getting a replacement for (or whether Apple Stores even have replacement silver AT&T 5s's at this point, haha).

    I am faching the same issue. I bought the phone here in the UK. As soon as I unboxed it I felt that the display was not as bright as my iPhone 4S. I went to apple store and got the phone replaced today. The replaced phone also has the same display issue (yellowish, creamish, warmer). I compared my phone with other phones in the apple store display pieces and discovered that only my phone has this problem. When I asked the sales person, he she said new batches of iPhones comes with this display.
    It really looks very dull, especially while using apps with white background.

  • 928 Camera - Yellowish Tint When Using Flash

    I find that when I take pictues in lower light situations and use the flash there is a distinct yellowish tint to the picture. I have had better results not using the flash at all. Kind of defeats the purpose of the flash. The pictures were taken using the auto settings. Anyone else having this issue or know if there is a resolution or a way to correct this problem?

    I have the new Nokia 1020 from AT&T.  Every time I take a flash picture, the picture white balance is WAY off, with the photo having a yellow tint.  I called Nokia and they recommended returning the phone for a new one, but the new one has the same problem.  I also see several people complaining about this on the web.
    Is a solution coming?  Else, I will have to return the phone, I bought it for the camera, which is defective when using the flash.

  • Palm Pre camera preview has green tint

    I have had my Pre for about 1 week and have taken many pictures with it (uploading to facebook, etc.).  As of today, when I launch the camera application, the "preview" I see on the display has a green tint to the picture.  If I press the camera or spacebar to take the picture, the resulting image looks fine.  It is just this preview of the picture that has this green tint.  All other aspects of the display look fine - running video, looking at pictures, etc.
    I have tried the basic reset and hardware tests but nothing has changed.  Any ideas? 
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    yeah i don't find any options in there either...
    i guess they are working on it....
    and some exposure and effects might also do on the next update.. and also ability to add date on the photo is another feature too..

  • Filter to counter a yellowish tint

    I have a video I am editing that has a yellowish tint from the lighting. Can I adjust this like I can with a photoshop image to counter with a blue/violet filter to balance and lighten the whole video overall?
    I can't seem to find anyway to search the forums, so excuse me if this has been answered. Where is the forum search? I can't seem to find a way to search in just the forums, and not the rest of Apple.
    Thanks in advance for any help on both of the above.

    Use the Color Corrector filter and move the center nub toward blue-cyan.

  • 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.

  • Blotchy display with yellow tint.

    My 27" 2009 iMac i7 display has become extremely blotchy and has a yellowish-gray "horizon line" running across the bottom of the screen. I'm aware of the display issues with the first run of these machines, but was hoping mine squeaked by without these flaws. Apparently not. Any fixes out there or is it straight to the Genius Bar for me?

    My iMac, which seems to be equally spec'd to your's just developed this same issue last week.  I took it in on Saturday and I'm supposed to be picking it up this evening. Hopefully you were able to get yours taken care of, and hopefully mine looks just like new again when I pick it up tonight.  I'd heard lots of comments about this defect occuring when I was shopping for mine, but thought I'd escaped it, then out of no where it just popped up more than a year later.

  • My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back.  It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

    My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back.  It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

    Wow!  I think I had this same issue just last night.
    I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside.  Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly.  It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle.  Of course I took no pictures!!!  I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
    But I digress...  The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect.  After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though.  There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top.  After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen.  I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background.  After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle.  After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange.  But I believe that might be all in my head now.
    So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

    Go to System Preferences>Displays and set the resolution to "Best for this computer" (or something to that effect).

  • IPhone 5 display has stopped working. How do I fix this?

    My iPhone 5 display has stopped working. The Lock button has not been working for quite some time now, so I can't try a reset. When I plug the phone up to the computer, it makes the sound which indicates that it has been hooked up, bu nothing is displayed. It is just a black screen.

        I'm sorry to hear about your phone, frodolad_ell. It sounds like you have a defective device. Is the phone still under the one year warranty? Does the device have physical or moisture damage? Please provide me with a few details.

    Hi, While writing an email online using Firefox 3.6.3, I was using one of the "CTRL+left or right arrow" to move the cursor along the text. I must have pressed some other key because the display has become huge - and I can't scroll vertically or horizontally, which makes using the Mail pages of Hotmail impossible. I have since logged in using MSFT Explorer and it works fine. This problem occurs only on the Mail page of Hotmail Live not on the home page or others.
    Could you please let me know if this is a problem with Firefox, or if you have any advice on how to reset the appearance of Hotmail in Firefox?
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == While I was compiling an email in Hotmail Live

    Wow, lightning fast and absolutely right!
    Thank you so much!
