I would like to ask all v friends about the color cast of MacBook Pro screen

Due to development needs, I upgraded from the 15.6-inch Macbook Pro 2015 model to the 16-inch Macbook Pro 2021 model (the seller has worked for three years), and found that the color cast of the 21 models is very serious (the original color has been turned off), especially in low brightness conditions. Moreover, the eyes will be tired after looking at it for a while (the eyes feel tight), unlike the 15 models, which look quite comfortable (the eyes are naturally relaxed).
I would like to ask friends who have used this computer, have they ever encountered my situation? Am I an exception, or is the screen aging?
I have tried adjusting the preset and color temperature, but I can't adjust the white on the right to the white on the left.
At present, I only know that 21 models are miniled screens. Some say that they protect the eyes, while others say that they hurt the eyes. Please give me some solutions. If it cannot be solved, I feel that this problem can only be resold.
ps: Which screen do you think looks normal?

There is good illumination and high color rendering around to avoid the brightness of the notebook monitor being too different from the surrounding areas

Anonymous534 May 5, 2025The "cast" color is for a standard. From the picture, it is obvious that the color temperatures displayed by the two screens are inconsistent. Let's assume that the color reproduction of your camera is accurate (photos may also be "deceiving"). From the perspective of color calibration to 6500K (which is regarded as the industry standard of pictures), the screen on the right is more accurate and the screen on the left is too white. This setting is more to make the colors of pictures more "realistic" for you, and has little to do with eye protection. Eyes adapt to color temperature very quickly. Generally, you only use the screen on the right for three or four days. When you suddenly come back and look at the left side, you will feel why the left side is "dead white". It is said that the right side has a better perception of color levels, but if you think that the left side can also see the color levels of the picture and like cool colors, it doesn't matter. As for eye protection, it is mainly related to sunlight exposure, brightness, ambient brightness, and how long you stare at the screen. Maybe the color temperature has something to do with the perception of screen reflection, but my own experience is mainly based on the previous factors. Finally, if you pursue "truth", it's better to calibrate a color. The color calibrator can be rented or bought.

Poster May 5, 2025@ Anonymous5938 But what should I do if the brightness cannot be adjusted high? Often watched with low brightness. After watching 21 models, your eyes will feel in a trance when you look at other places, but 15 models will not be like this

Anonymous2238 May 6, 2025Both sides may be accurate enough. Although there is a high probability that the color cast of the 2015 model is more serious. LCD is inherently lossy. Although it is not a screen burn-in, it will have various problems such as color cast, uneven brightness, uneven color temperature, etc. over time. In fact, it is not much better than OLED. And even if it is an accurate screen, this may be the case. Some designers buy two monitors, both of which are basically calibrated, but the color cast in two opposite directions looks more serious, but in fact the delta color aberration of the two monitors is small enough. This situation is not unusual either. To avoid it completely is to buy the same batch of monitors, and further manual calibration. Also, the new miniled screen has a wider color gamut. The colors of Apple's own system/software can make use of this color gamut. Some colors are really different. Only by comparing photos that were originally in the same color gamut range, such as srgb, can it be closer. The system UI and wallpaper should be new and more vivid.

Anonymous8156 May 6, 2025In the past, the color temperature of Apple was colder, about 7000k. Now the color temperature of Apple is more accurate, so it is more yellowish. In addition, the screen with a wider color gamut is easy to be a little redder, but the comparison will not be very obvious without this., if you really can't stand it, just connect an external monitor. After all, the performance is really much worse

Anonymous5717 May 6, 2025The 16 is accurate, but the 15 is too old and the backlight has aged. In addition, the screen of the new machine needs to be used for 12 hours before it reaches a stable state
