Mac book pro display colors are odd and print and other issues odd- Issues started with last Update

My colors are off, Type is faint, washed out and hard to read, Settings are acting weird such as bringing up finder looks strange and hard to use. Frankly every area looks different often with blanks where I would need to select something. I am no geek. I use a Mac because it does not act up. Help!


MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.3

Hello Carolitis,


You may try first checking to see if any accessibility settings have been enabled for the display. This can be found within System Settings > Accessibility > Display, and see if any of the switches here are turned on. If so, try disabling them to see if that has helped out.


Starting the Mac up in safe mode can help rule out various software items from being the cause: Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


If it still persists you may wish to explore having it inspected at a local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to see if there could be a hardware issue affecting the display. This link will help to reach out to Apple Support to explore available options: Apple Support


Cheers.
