Green tint to Macbook Pro Retina screen.

Good evening, I have the same problem on a MacBook Pro retina 13 of 2015. However my case is different from the others since it is no longer under warranty. Is there a program open by apple since the problem is frequent? Help-me

Hi, i just see your post i was thinking that i am alone in this world who faces this problem , i have the same issue too after cleaning my MacBook pro with foam spray i got two different effects. Frist a green tint on the left of the screen , another when i drop menu from top it seems to be like ghost it disappear and leave red tint for half of sec and I did not know what the **** is that . Could anyone help me

hi! I just got the same problem now. Started since I cleab the screen using the glass cleaner and spray it all over the screen and then wipe it. And the tint always happen when I boot up the mac or wakes the mac from sleep. It lasts for 10 minutes and the tint just.. Dissappear. And I just realised that I got the same problem with the same reason. Did anyone already figures out a way to fix this instead replace the screen?

thanks Before. Macbook Pro Retina mid-2014 by the way

DId this go away by itself? Mine had the same issue and I found it was because I left it in direct sunlight (through a window) for maybe 5 minutes max. Retina displays seem to be hypersensitive. I watched it shrink away completely after about 10 or 15 minutes though.

Worked for me too! I had the green screen problem after cleaning the screen with mild soap.

The tint is due to a thin film of cleaner/soap if you used something like screen wipe. It should go in 10-15 minutes. So dont panic for at least that time and wait for it to dry off completely.

Ok, the EXACT same thing happened to me, although I sneezed all over the screen (gross) and then wiped it off with a windex covered paper towel. Then followed up with a damp microfiber towel to remove smudges. There was no way that water could have gotten in nor the windex.

So I raise you this question; did you use a microfiber cloth, and are you in a dry-cold or a dry-hot otherwise low humidity climate.

The reason I ask, theoretically if you did use a microfiber, had the computer on, and rubbed back and forth across the screen several times, you may have created static electricity, which may have interfered with the screen.

I found that after doing several power cycles (command+control+p+r+power) the green tint completely disappeared. I also noticed that the cat hair that flies around my house is not sticking to the screen anymore....

Food for thought

FYI purchased NOV/2014

Same here on a 13" MBP Retina Late 2013.

The green tint appears every time after waking the MBP from sleep mode or after powering it on. This is not related to sunlight or screen cleaning in my case. The green tint fades away after 10-15 minutes of use but this is not a solution for me. This is obviously a problem with the GPU or something. I also encounter the ghost image problem. I just dropped it at Apple Care for repair.

Wow, the repair was done within 24 hrs.

It's the display. The entire display got replaced. This solved both the green tint and the ghosting effect on my old screen. In my case the repair was covered by Apple Care.

If you don't have warranty then you may want to check the links below. Funny thing is, I have another 2011 MacBook Pro that felt under the repair program and got repaired as well (different problem though). So I've got two issues solved within a few months. One GPU issue (2011 MBP) and one screen issue (2013 MBP).

I'm having the same problem too now! Just noticed the green hues during starting up my macbook since a couple days ago. I thought it was just my eyes because it gets normal after 10-15 minutes later. I'm sending mine to the apple store soon. Did they tell you what caused this to happen or ways to prevent it from happening?

Thanks!

I have the same case and I visited apple for more 7 times on this issue but but it didn't work. So any advise on this issues I warmly welcome.

Everyone, it's the display and the green tint doesn't go away other by replacing the display. If you have warranty do the repair asap.

In my case it wasn't like that at all for me i charged my laptop almost all the way up and noticed my screen was dirty so i took some windex and micro fiber to it and after i noticed that there was a heavy green tint to the display and it started to slowly go away after 5 minutes then 15/20 minutes later it was completely gone.
