Greenish screen after wake up using external monitor

I use an 23" hp monitor with my MacBook Pro 2012. Now I have upgraded to Mavericks, after I wake up the machine from sleep the screen looks like this (a greenish screen).

I have to open the machine itself inorder to have a proper colour on the ext. monitor again.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

I'm getting the pink screen too with my late 2012 Mac Mini. I have two monitors hooked up, both DVI. (Using HDMI->DVI, and mini DisplayPort -> DVI adapters)


It's definitely not the monitors at fault. The colors will be fine on one, and pink on the other. Strangely, the mouse cursor is always the correct color. The drop shadow around it causes anything under it to appear correct as well. The rainbow spinning cursor shows correctly as well. I'll try and get a photo of that next time it happens.


To fix it, I have to unplug a monitor to force redetection and then everything works. It also doesn't matter what monitor is unplugged -- I left the pink monitor plugged in and unplugged the correct one, OS X fixed itself, then I plugged the second monitor back in.

I also have the same issue. My 2013 MacBook Pro 13" Retina. Since upgrading to Mavericks, the external display presents a pink wash upon waking up from extended sleep. If you unplug the thunderport cable and reinsert, the display corrects itself. MacBook has not presented this issue before and the bug can be seen on other external displays. Not terminal but rather annoying.
