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

  • 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.

  • Retina Macbook has Yellow tint ... purchased via online store so how do I exchange?

    Hi there,
    I've just received my BTO Retina Macbook Pro and notice that there is a definite yellow tint. Looking online this is a common problem. But as I'm located in the UAE, there's no offical apple store here, just the online one.
    I've compared the issue to my 2011 MBP and using the Retina MBP over airplay to my Sony HDTV. Attached are images to illustrate the issue.
    What is the process / where can I go to have this issue fixed?

    hey...just got my MBPr 4 days ago. My friend got his as well, and is calling me crazy because I'm bothered by a slight yellow tint to the screen, when the brightness is turned up to nearly full.
    I've attached a screenshot. The computer was running for about 25 minutes when I took it. He's telling me that I'm nitpicking because I'm never going to use a pure white background, although pages like yahoo and google have an essentially white background. I've also included an all-black background, and a shot of the google homepage.
    Do you guys see it as well? Comparitively, do you think it's a problem. If I decide to return it, it will have to be by mail because I ordered the 2.3 i7 with 16gb RAM, so it can't be replaced by store models.
    Otherwise I'm really happy with the laptop. It's blazing fast and designed really well. Just wondering if you guys see a problem, or I really am nuts? By the way, this unit has a samsung display (discovered via the terminal command), not an LG panel.

  • 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.

  • Huge differences in screen colour / yellow tint

    Hi,
    after using a 16GB Touchpad I recently received a 32GB version. From the beginning on I noticed a huge difference in the screen colour of the two pads. While I would consider the 16GB version neutral, the 32GB version has a much more yellow / orange tint. I noticed this even without putting the two pads side to side. Doing so results even in a much more obvious difference.
    Are there explanations for this? Or even better: solutions? Any chance to adjust the colour temperature so that I could try to achieve a better colour balance on the 32GB pad?
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Thank you very much for your reply. Interesting to hear, as it is discussed in some forums (e.g. precentral.net) whether HP used screens from different manufacturers.
    As I explained the difference between my two devices is pretty obvious. I guess I will figure out how complicated a replacement might get due to the firesale implications.
    Best regards!

  • 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.

  • Screen with yellow tint - 2nd gen

    I just replaced a first gen with a 2nd gen ipod touch. The 2nd gen's screen is yellowish with washed out contrast. Is this a known issue? Will an Apple Store consider it for replacement? It's not completely unviewable, just harder to read.
    thanks

    we can't speak for your local Apple store. go to one and ASK.

  • Apple Yellow Tint Screen

    Hi,
    I know that this problem been discussed previously here, I bought my iphone from the UK and been using it for a few months and it was perfectly fine. Now I buy a new iphone in Dubai and the screen is yellow tinted!
    I am really unsatisfied with the yellow tinted screen. The question I want to ask is, am I entitled to get a new iphone? I went back to the store exactly two hours after I bought it and they refused to replace it for me, claiming that this is Apple Policy
    Thanks,

  • Brand new, white Verizon iPhone4, has a yellow tinted screen.

    I just bought a brand new Verizon (white) iPhone and noticed the color of the screen had a warmer (yellowish) tint to it, comparing it my iPod4 which has a cooler (bluish) tint. I then compared it to a friend's AT&T iPhone4 and noticed he had the cooler  tint to it as well. We both had the brightness turned all the way up.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? I really like the bluish look a lot more because the whites look more like whites.
    I'm wondering if maybe my iPhone was color calibrated incorrectly or if this was done intentionally.

    Hi
    How did it go with Apple customer care? Just wondering because I exchanged my white Verizon iPhone and I see it exactly the same yellowish tint on the screen and compared it to all the black iPhones they had at the store, so I'm just wondering if Apple care was able to do anything??
    Thanks
    I haven't called Apple's customer care service but instead brought my iPhone into an official Apple retail store. The employee has never been approached about the yellow tint yet, and assured me there was nothing wrong with it. He also couldn't give me an answer I was looking for either; if it was Apple's intention or not. He himself had a brand new Verizon white iPhone and we compared ours and they both looked the same. I showed him my friends AT&T black iPhone and set it next to mine but he really didn't notice the difference. My friend also had a protective screen over it and the employee said maybe the blue tint I was seeing was from the plastic (which I know is not the cause).
    I brought it to Verizon's store and the employee there said he didn't see any real problem with it and since Apple didn't send them a notice about a recall on their iPhone's, there was nothing they could do about it.
    So I thought, this is must be what they are doing for all their new iPhone's. Every new one I see, it's tinted yellow. Although when I was in the Apple store and compared it to one of the new iPad2's displays, the iPad had a blue tinted screen.
    The mystery over the yellow screen continues!
    [However, I've been getting used to the yellow screen and I don't even notice it anymore.]

  • Who has a yellow tinted screen?

    Finally was able to get my sister a replacement, and the first thing I even noticed without hearing or reading of the issue was the retina display seemed kinda yellowish. So I looked it up and compared, and the phone has a yellow tint on the entire screen. I can only take pics using an iPhone 3G so it would look fuzzy though.

    How is your phone?
    Also, the battery is already half gone and its had 2 hours usage. of Facebook, and some twitter. WIFI OFF too. 3G on
    My screen is just fine. I don't see any yellow tinted on it.
    I find that the battery lasts longer when connected to wi-fi then using just 3G. If I were to use just 3G, I'd probably get around where you are, as in 2 hours -3 hours of usage.

  • 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 screen has lines and yellow tint and at start up left third is white, right 2/3 is black

    My screen has developed lines and at start up, the left third is White, the right 2/3 is black. Then it works again. Then it starts a loud noise like it's burning a DVD. Then it works again.

    There is a known problem with a yellow tint on i7s.  I suggest you call Apple Care and tell them about it, it should still be under warranty.
