Screen sometimes pink - restart fixes it

Sometimes when I start my Mac mini M2, the whole screen appears tinted in pink.


It stays this way until I restart my Mac, than its gone.


Any idea?

Mac mini, macOS 14.6

If you are using the HP supplied HDMI cable or a long cheap poorly shielded HDMI cable..?


Replace that HDMI cable with a short 1 meter Premium Certified High Speed HDMI cable.


The following cables are over-kill for that HP display, but will set you up for a 4K or better display in the future.
