HDMI Port, Wrong Color Space, Here MIGHT be the best solution.

So, I've been searching the forums, and couldn't find the solution. Today I finally found the fix.

I had been trying to find a solution to this problem where a monitor is attached to HDMI and the Mac Mini [late 2012, 6,2] thinks it is a television and uses the wrong color space.


Doing some google-fu, I stumble across this site:


http://ireckon.net/2013/03/force-rgb-mode-in-mac-os-x-to-fix-the-picture-quality -of-an-external-monitor


I followed the fix, and bingo.. I can look at my monitor again without my eyes bleeding.


Thanks ireckon.net, you saved me.


PS... if this solution has already been found, Forgive the double post. It seems a lot of people are still looking for it.

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Dual Monitor, Dual HDMI
