Apple Original Display

Hi! My name is Manolay, I am trying to get the original color screen display back to my MacBook Air M1. I have very dark screen and the colours are all not properly saturated or out of its original display when I first brought it. I try to get it back but I am making it worse. How do I go about getting the original colours that seems right?

MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

Hey manolay,


We'd be happy to help out. Sounds like you need help adjusting your display settings so they're back to the way they were when you first got your MacBook Air M1.


To get started, we'd suggest working through the following steps to make the adjustments you need:

If your Mac display doesn’t look right
If the image on your Mac display doesn’t look right, try one or more of these suggestions.
* If the display is black or dim: Try adjusting your display’s brightness.
* If images are too large or too small: Try adjusting your display’s resolution.
* If the colors don’t look right: Try using the display profile designed for your display. For example, if you’re using a Thunderbolt display, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Displays  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.) Click the pop-up menu next to “Color profile” on the right, then choose Thunderbolt Display. If that doesn’t work, try calibrating the display.
* If your display is blurry: Make sure your Mac has detected that display. Choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Displays.
* To see the Detect Displays button, press the Option key. Then click the button to detect the display.
* If the display is flickering: Make sure your Mac and display are connected to one another with good quality cables and adapters. You may also be experiencing interference from a nearby power line, a fluorescent light, a radio, a microwave oven, another computer, or another electrical device. Try relocating nearby electrical devices, or moving your Mac and display.
* If you see bright or dark spots on a flat-panel or Mac laptop screen: Your display may have pixel anomalies. If you suspect your Apple display contains a high number of anomalies, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for service. Repairs performed by untrained individuals or using non-genuine Apple parts may affect the safety and functionality of the device. 
* If none of these solutions work: If you have an Apple display and can’t correct the problem, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for service. Repairs performed by untrained individuals or using non-genuine Apple parts may affect the safety and functionality of the device.

This is all outlined in more detail here: If your Mac display doesn’t look right - Apple Support


We hope this helps out, but if not and your display still doesn't look right after making the necessary adjustments, there could be a hardware issue with your display requiring service. If so, you can check into your service options here: Get Support


Take care!
