Chosen Solution
My screen colours went funny while watching a YouTube video. I initially restarted the device to resolve it but now its seems to be permanent. I’ve reset SMC as well as NVRAM/PRAM I’ve connected it to a external display monitor and the issue doesn’t appear on it. It must be the internal display or its cable.
I’ve attached a few photos here. https://imgur.com/a/GGnq5rq As you can see the Mojave background is red and all wacky. Images of people look distorted and the screen looks foggy (not really visible in image)
The display will need to be replaced the logic within it has failed. Here’s the needed part MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Late 2013-Mid 2014) Display Assembly You’ll need to follow this guide MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Mid 2014 Display Assembly Replacement
Hi Thomas, Same MBP Retina, very similar problem here for almost 2 weeks. The way the colours are distorted is not quite the same, but it may be well just a different representation of the same issue (I will try to post an image when I get home). In my case, everything started while normally using the laptop: just checking some websites with Chrome and switching back and forth to an IPTV stream on VLC. Suddenly, everything looks a bit ¿saturated?, then it went back to normal; after a few minutes, the same problem again which continued intermittently, more frequent every time, until it finally became permanent. Restarting, resetting the NVRAM and the SMC didn’t solve it. I just switched the laptop off and next day it looked the same, BUT… after a few minutes the screen recovered the original, normal colours. That last just for a few minutes, but it was there… only that it wasn’t for long. That behaviour continued; I also detected that, when the colours were distorted that way, the screen presented very clear image retention. Last Friday I hooked up the laptop to an external 24” monitor, where the image is shown just fine. I left the MBP display as the secondary one, and it happens that… for 2 hours the desktop’s background image was fine, then it went distorted again. I created a white *.jpg with the same resolution than the screen, and opened it to full screen; when I do that, the display always fixes itself for a variable period of time. I have an appointment today with a Genius, but guess what… I have been using the MBP for 3 hours now and the display is fine. I would like to show him how the thing looks when distorted. If you find anything please keep us posted, I will do the same. Thanks! PD. Finally I cancelled my Genius appointment given that I couldn’t reproduce the problem today. And this is my screen:
