Extremely Blurry Screen M1 MacBook Pro 16

After being connected to external display via HDMI cable (previously it's been a USB-C), all of a sudden, internal display is back. It appears to me that somehow a brightness sensor might be related to this issue.

Keeping further observations.

Unless you're under warranty, I'm afraid your hefty fee will be US$ 900 to replace the screen. My screen's still like that after few weeks, and many of us are waiting for a product recall or something.

same problem here ~ i'm from berlin germany and went to the applestore yesterday ~ the guy wouldn't even acknowledge the problem.. the store had such bright lights, that you couldnt even see the display turning on. i told him we would need to go to a darker enviroment and he told me that they dont do this kind of troubleshooting. instead he blamed the displaydefect on a microsmall dent in the glass. i was 6month past warranty. payed 3800€ for this macbook ~ repair cost were around 900€.

i think there needs to be some class action suit for this matter..

I experienced this issue with my M2 MBP a month after I spilled some liquid on the keyboard. I decided to repair it for around $900 for a screen replacement. But recently (after 6 months), it happened again. I was doing some work when the screen suddenly went dark, leaving only the mini-LED backlight, which shows dark and bright parts of the screen. By the way, probably, I found the same issue with the iPad Pro 12.9 with the mini-LED screen. Here is a possibly related thread:

Extremely blurry screen

MacBook Pro M1

as everyone who has posted here has said, THIS issue was not a MacOS issue for them, and hardware intervention was required to solve the problem.

Same issue here.

M1 Pro 2021

Mine looks exactly the same

it happens to me today!

I just had this happen with my m2 pro 16 in

Yes, but it costs about £700 in the UK to do so unfortunately.

I just received a new one, M3 Max, the maximum configuration. After 1 day my screen died. I'm just shocked, I took it to the service center, I'm waiting for repairs

so I have tried three times with apple in London and have been stonewalled they just say one damaged the screen and it must be my fault

I quoted consumer law and they just basically said no

It happened to me again 🥺

I previously posted in this thread regarding my MBP M1 Pro that got the Death-Blur.

While waiting on some type of resolution I did buy a new Air M2 in January 2024 --- And guess what, 2 weeks ago the same thing now happened to it...

Theory:

Looking back at what i did just before this happened that correlate with things i did on my MBP, I do have a theory of what could be a trigger of this issue.

On both my Mac's that got this issue the common action is that repeatedly did placed my iPhone on the left side of the computer leaning towards the screen. Could this potentially be something that effected the screens magnetic lid sensor 😱 ?

It has nothing to do with sleeping, I rebooted Mac many times and the screen is still the same (occasionally getting normal, but only for couple of seconds).

it is definitely some software or hardware issue
