MacBook 14 Pro display blurry after macOS Tahoe 26.2 update

Blurred Display on MacBook 14 Pro macOS Tahoe 26.2

Bought this laptop 5 months ago, perfectly running no issues. Suddenly, 1hr ago while using the laptop the screen went Blurry.

The screen is on, the HDMI works, everything shows but heavily blurred.

I don't live in the USA, these machines cost a fortune in my region & this is most certainly software, not hardware as I just updated to macOS Tahoe 26.2 after waiting a few weeks.

Now I'm about to lose a lot of money because a software glitch randomly blurred this silly device.

The screenshot shows the device is fine but the actual display is burry.

Help Please, this is actually really serious......

Try shutting down & restarting your MacBookPro. Full shutdown, not just a Restart of closing the lid. See if that clears up the problem.

Did the problem start immediately after you upgraded to Tahoe? Or later? If later, it may be a hardware problem not a software problem. All new Macs have a 1-year warranty from Apple. You did not say what country you are located in, but see if there is an Apple store or Authorized Apple Service Center within reach. Look up "Genius Bar Appointment" on your country's Apple website.
