I'm posting in the hope that it helps some of you. I am now running two 4K displays one hooked up via HDMI on the mini, the other via USB-C on the TB dock and everything works blissfully well. On the hunch that the M1 was sending a limited range, I decide to switch to auto. Sure enough there is, under "Color Adjust" a menu for "Color Format" that hasĪnd, low and behold, the display was set to "RGB (Full range)". I decided to give it another shot and looked into the menu of the ViewSonic. One message tipped me off though saying that the protocol over HDMI can use a dynamic range and that somehow this may be the cause of the issue. Sure enough lots of other folks had the same issue. I changed the USB-C cable for good measure (same issue) and then started to google around.

Recently (after the 3rd update to bigger), I thought that this might have been fixed and tried again. (There is a solution, so keep reading!)įor a long time I used the HDMI output of the M1 mini and the DisplayPort output of the CalDigit to get a working setup. I experienced the same issue with a view sonic a Mini M1 and a Caldigit TB+ dock. The solution I found was to mirror my display via AirPlay Display (in System Preferences -> Display) to my Samsung TV, then turn off the AirPlay Display, and my monitor reset back to the nice dark/vivid colors and no longer washed out. I tried turning off/on the monitor, unplugging the monitor, rebooting, changing out to a USB-C to HDMI cable then back to USB-C to Display Port - but none of these worked - still washed out colors.
I ended up checking the HDR tick box and the colors became washed out again, even after unchecking the box. After upgrading to 11.3 I initially had no problems with the color, but I started fiddling around with the HDR settings (in System Preferences -> Display) - big mistake - _don't_ check the HDR tick box. Prior to 11.3, turning off the monitor then back on again used to fix it and the colors would no longer be washed out.

Fixing the External Monitor Color Problem with My 2018 MacBook Pro.External display attached to MacBook Pro has washed out colours.We are not the only ones to have the issue: I don't have washed out colors when I plug my Windows laptop into the same monitor using the USB-C to DisplayPort cable !! The monitor and the cable are therefore not the root cause of the issue.
USB-C to DisplayPort cable: washed out colors.USB-C to HDMI adaptor + HDMI cable: no issue.Macmini8,1 with Intel UHD Graphics 630 to iiyama ProLite XUB2595WSU: This makes me believe that the issue is really related to the DisplayPort. I've also tried an USB-C to HDMI adaptor with an HDMI cable and it also works perfectly. The same monitor with an HDMI cable works perfectly. I bought two USB-C to DisplayPort cables and the result is always the same: washed out colors. I've exactly the same issue with my Mac mini 2018 (Macmini8,1) running macOS Big Sur 11.2.1: External display has washed out colors when using USB-C to DisplayPort cable !!
