When using Sidecar on MacBook Pro, built-in display is tinted

I am excited for the new Sidecar feature released this fall. And I gave it a try once I updated the OS. Unfortunately, it is not working perfectly. I don't know why, and I don't know if this is expected, but I noticed that when using Sidecar, the built-in display on my MacBook Pro was tinted, as if the system was applying another and incorrect color profile on it. Does anyone have the same issue, or know a work around? Thanks!

Hi jackxujh,

Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it seems like the screen on the MacBook Pro is tinting after you start using the Sidecar feature. I would recommend you use this article to help troubleshoot the issue.

So the update of 10.15.1 resolved this issue.

I am also referencing another discussion, which helped me in the issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250712543

HI Chris, thank you for the link! I think I need to turn off the firmware password. So it seems like there's going to be a rather lengthy operation. I will make sure I try it out this weekend, when I get time for unlikely events like data damage that requires a recovery from Time Machine.
