I came home to find my M1 mac mini (connected by HDMI to my hisense TV) colors completely washed out/wrong today (see pics here, sorry I can't seem to resize them to fit). This is clearly an output issue, as screen mirroring does not show any problems

Things I have tried that DID NOT work:

  • New HDMI Cable
  • Restart
  • SMC Reset
  • Color profile change
  • HDR disable/re-enable
  • restart tv
  • change input on tv
  • adjust tv settings
  • BetterDisplay
I'm at my wits end here, anyone have any clue on how to fix???
 
my Mac mini M1 had display issues with Tahoe, not this extreme tho.
perhaps the display is at fault as Bigwaff questioned.

now I hafta' unplug my HDMI cable when restating on a 2012 TV since they don't jive at first.

also if you have a MacBook, you can network screen share to see if the mini is good.

let us know!
