Feb 23, 2014 1:25 PM in response to Viktor_338by BDAqua,Hi Viktor,
That is pretty strange, next time it happens try these 4 keys... CMD+alt+control+8
Or System Preferences>Accessabilty>Seeing tab>Black on White or White on Black.

Feb 28, 2014 11:57 PM in response to BDAquaby xteelps,Dear all,
Here exactly the same problem! My 2013 Mac Mini is connected to a Philips TV and the colors inverts in average every 20 minutes, sometimes it takes longer.
When I installed the Mac for the first time the same problem accured but I found on the web a quick fix by placing aan additional directory in the Display/Overrides folder. You can find plenty of information on the web about this problem which is obviously a Handshake problem of the Mac with Philips TV. People say it happens with Philips and Sony TV...
1. Download http://www.mediafire.com/?fdz29bgsg3zm653
2. Unarchive it
3. In the Finder, go to (using cmd-shift-G) the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
4. Place the entire directory you unarchived in step 2 (DisplayVendorID-410c) in the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
5. Reboot
This fix solved my problem until I installed Mavericks. I wish I could turn back time!
Hours on the internet to look for a solution learned that again more people have exactly the same issue and a fix seems to be not so easy. I tried to force the Mac into RGB Mode following another thread:
https://gist.github.com/adaugherity/7435890
Sofar still unsuccesful! It is so frustrating! I had a fantastic Multimedia system based on Mac and now since the upgrade to Mavericks it simply does not work anymore!
I anyone has an idea - please.

Mar 1, 2014 4:09 AM in response to xteelpsby Viktor_338,Thank you very much ! Your words are more like the truth.
I have already found a lot of information on this issue and sincerely do not understand why the Apple corp. for so long does not correct the error.
Would hate to think that in this way they are pushing us to purchase any certain LCD.
Unfortunately, on my Mac (I bought it a month ago) installed Maverick .
Please tell me whether you want to delete the existing files in the directory System/Library/Displays/Overrides
before you copy DisplayVendorID-410c there?
And whether it is necessary to turn off the panel and connect any simple monitor during this operation?

Mar 1, 2014 9:27 AM in response to Viktor_338by xteelps,★HelpfulI am trying since weeks all kind of things. In the meantime I deleted all other Overrides from the Directory, I have now only the ID-410c and the 'force RGB' files left.
You don't have to disconnect your TV to change these settings, or do you mean something else?
There seem to be many people with a similar problem, I would be really happy if this issue could be solved!

Oct 12, 2015 12:22 AM in response to xteelpsby 13Viking,★HelpfulHi,
I thought I would share my experience and solution now that I have been through this several times. I have even got it working on Mavericks and El Capitan.
My solution is for El Capitan. It is a combination of several things I have found on the internet. All I know is that it worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you as well. I am no fan of mucking about with security settings, but it was the only way I found that allowed me to copy the folder to the right directory. Please note that in El Capitan the folder is different to the original "recipe".
1. Shut down the MAC
2. Start up the MAC holding the keys Command-R until the apple appears
3. When possible go to menu Utilities and select Terminal
4. In the Terminal window type csrutil disable -This disables the apple protection of system files and folders (normally NOT recommended!)
5. Reboot
6. Download http://www.mediafire.com/?fdz29bgsg3zm653
7. Unarchive it
8. In the Finder, go to (using cmd-shift-G) the directory /System/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides - (note - this is for El Capitan!)
9. Place the entire directory you unarchived in step 6 (DisplayVendorID-410c) in the directory /System/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides
10. Shut down
11. Start up the MAC holding the keys Command-R until the apple appears
12. When possible go to menu Utilities and select Terminal
13. In the Terminal window type csrutil enable This enables apple protection - DON'T FORGET THIS STEP!
14. Reboot
11. Hopefully enjoy non-inverted viewing...
I really hope I haven't forgotten anything. Please use these steps at your own risk. I am no expert. This has worked for me, that's all...

Oct 27, 2015 3:30 PM in response to 13Vikingby Arby1,Thank you for the step by step directions. I remember having to add the 410c file under an earlier OS, but in El Capitan the "Overrides" folder is locked out. Fortunately, you provided the steps to allow placing the file in the proper location, which has indeed changed from previous OS.
All is well again!
