2014 15" rMBP Washed Out Screen

[Nr123*123]

Ever since I upgraded to El Capitan, the colours on my screen are really washed out (greyish). The colours do not seem sharp and are sort of faded.

Is this a software or hardware issue?

I think I know exactly what you're talking about. It's probably the ambient light compensation that is now embedded into the automatically adjust brightness setting. Before, in the initial betas, they had it as an option, but they decided to combine it with the automatic brightness setting. Uncheck the "automatically adjust brightness" setting and you'll see the difference.
