I just upgraded my MBP Early 2011 to 10.8.5 and now whenever the graphics card is switched to the AMD card, the screen gets a blueish tint to it. Switching back to the integrated Intel card gives me normal colors, so I'm not quite sure what is going on.

Anyone else experiencing this, know how to solve it, able to offer any words of wisdom to assist?

Thanks!
 
Believe it or not, I solved this problem by going into Disk Utility and fixing my drive permissions. Someone had mentioned this same thing occurred to them on a previous OS update and it did the trick. Hopefully this helps others who find this thread in the future!
 
Glad I found this post! I think the 10.8.5 update must've done this to me. I was worried the backlight might be going out, but reading the description you provided made me realize that my problem wasn't hardware related, and it happened so intermittently I dreaded going to the Apple store only to have them unable to reproduce the problem. Thanks!
