4.5

The display looks warm or yellowish, like a piece of old paper.

Symptoms
  • Yellow hue
  • Warm colors
  • Not true white
Possible Causes
  • Night Light / Blue Light filter
  • True Tone (Mac)
  • Failing backlight

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Disable "Night Light"

Windows Settings > Display > Toggle OFF Night Light.

2

Disable "True Tone"

Mac: System Settings > Displays > Uncheck True Tone.

Check Color Profile

Ensure your display isn't set to a "Warm" or "Reading" profile.

When to See a Technician

If software filters are off and it's still yellow, the LED backlight might be aging, which is common in older laptops.
