Recently, my displays have been turning blue when they wake up from sleep. This has hapeened on my Macbook and on my 2nd monitor on my PC (which I use for VM and remote desktop). It's possible that part of it might be my eyes, but seeing the blue monitor next to my other monitor on my PC has convinced me that something is probably out of place. What might that be?

So I just realized that I kicked my monitor cable, and it shorted the red out, hence making it look blue. Still, please help with the Macbook. – TahoeWolverine Jul 31 '09 at 14:35
Is it still under warranty? – PiPeep Jul 31 '09 at 16:22
yes...it doesn't seem like a hardware problem though, it just seems like some setting might be getting switched or something. – TahoeWolverine Jul 31 '09 at 18:02
Does it temporarily fix it if you restart? Until the next sleep? – Dan Jun 14 '10 at 21:16

Yes, bumped cable was going to be my first guess. Make sure both sides have a nice clean connection. If it still isn't working try a different cable. Visually examine the two ports see if you did any damage or any pins that are broken or stuck. You can't really "Short the red out" (that I know of), but for some reason it may not be making a connection.

Many video drivers allow you to make your screen "cooler" or "warmer"... perhaps your computer is set to cooler settings? Or perhaps your saturation is incorrectly set?
