Fix bad/wrong colors on external monitor connected to a MacBook

Recently we bought a new Apple MacBook Pro Retina 13’. But after connecting it to an external monitor we were a bit surprised. The colors looked bad and the contrast was low. On Windows the same monitor works fine. After searching the web we found this blog post with instructions to solve the problem. Short answer: The Mac identifies the external monitor as television. After executing the steps described in the blog post, all was looking fine.

Find out if your monitor is identified correctly

  • click on Apple icon upper left corner
  • click on About this Mac
  • click on More info
  • click on system Report
  • click on Graphics/Displays
  • find the section with the external display
  • if there is a setting ‘Television: Yes’, your monitor is identified wrong

How to fix it
