Display

My display seems to be 'washed out'. Contrast when I highlight something seems very weak/pale and isn't very visible. How can I improve my display?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.6

My Studio Display doesn't work. There are three flashing dots for about 3 seconds and then it goes dark. I have tried restarting and disconnecting, etc. but no dice. My Studio Display doesn't work.

Displays seem faint, pale, washed out on Samsung LS27A70 Ever since I connected two Samsung LS27A70, I've had difficulty with seeing content. Text seems to be rendered appropriately, but shadows around boxes (e.g., editable fields on a Web page) are hard to distinguish...hard? Shoot, sometimes I have to highlight an entire section to be able to locate checkboxes. The problem seems to be more pronounced in Safari than in Firefox. It's also pretty obvious in Maps and some third party apps (e.g., 1Password). Do they all use the same rendering engine (or whatever)? Of course, I fiddled with settings, but changing them didn't seem to make any difference. (I should note. that the light-dark buttons on my old Mac keyboard do not affect the display; also, if I change some features in System Settings, such as I spoke with Samsung [business] tech support. The analysis was "compatibility issue." Hmmm...with a pretty well-known device and software? Have other users had similar experiences? Anyone have suggested fixes?

2021 MacBook Pro display cracked with vertical lines after 5 days? Does Apple have a quality control Problem? I just returned my brand new MacBook Pro after 5 days. I opened it up in the morning and the display had vertical colored lines on the left side. I handled it with kid gloves, not a speck of dirt on it. I had to return and won't buy another till I know this is not a recurrent problem with the new MacBook pros.

First try and tweak your display settings a bit to see if you can find some improvement there

You can turn off or on True Tone, change the refresh rate and change your display color profile.
