MBP and LED Cinema Display Color Washed Out After Screen Saver

I have this same issue as well on my early 2008 MacBook Pro with a Dell display. To fix the problem I just reactivate the screen saver and then unlock my computer again and it solves the problem, but it is kind of annoying to have to do it.

I have the same issue. However its only my MBP's color profile that gets messed up, and an unfortunate trip to the display > color prefrences (just to not make any changes). I thought this would get fixed with Snow Leopard.

Mine does the same thing. To workaround the issue I have a hot corner set up for screen saver. If I trip that hot corner usually one time and then immediately move the mouse out of the hot corner that seems to clear up the issue. It's definitely annoying though.

How do I get this to stop?

Don't use the screensaver. Just instruct your machine to sleep instead.

Same thing for me, but not using the screensaver is not a solution. Which screensaver are you using, mine started when I was using the photo shuffle as my screen saver.

Why not? Your screen doesn't need saving. Even if it did, sleeping the machine or the display would do it better than the screensaver does.

My 13" MBP has now started to do the same thing as described. The thing is, it has never done this since I bought it in late July 2009. I have iWork installed, Firefox, Skype, and Pixelmator. I may have a clue, however, for the Apple people: my MBP never did this until last night and this morning. The only thing I changed yesterday was removing the 2 gig of memory and installing 4 gig. I also tried the translation widget for the first time.

That probably cleared a cached setting or preference.
