Yup. Yesterday my mac turned my external display pink. The monitor was connected directly to the HDMI socket on the M1.

Tell me a more iconic duo than external devices and a panicking mac.

This used to happen to me regularly with a Dell panel. It would turn anything white pink. I found creating a custom colour profile and playing around with it until the whites were white again solved it. Then occasionally it would decide to revert to the default colour profile for no reason.

Stupidly frustrating but I’m passing on the tip incase it helps.

What I meant by "turned pink" is that the display showed only bright pink color and the mac display had a single corrupted line of pixels on it.

Oh ouch. Haven’t experienced that.
