Hello,

my 16" MBP configuration:

MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
Ram: 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
SSD: 550 GB
AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4 GB
Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB
MacOs Catalina 10.15.2

When the dedicated graphics card is running (AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4 GB) in True Tone or Night Shift mode, some parts elements of 1 pixel (white on dark) they become blue, light blue:

example in Chrome:

pixel-blu-mbp16-true-tone-2.jpg


If I disable true tone and night shift, everything returns to normal, but this does not happen if the integrated graphic card (Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB) is active, in fact even in true tone / night mode the 1 pixel elements are perfectly white.

Can you try it on your 16 "MacBook Pro?

Bug driver for AMD Radeon Pro 5500M in MacOs Catalina 10.15.2?

Thanks for the replies ;)

This is a known issue. There's a thread here on this very issue. Someone said it seemed like a bug in 10.15.2's drivers for the 5500M graphics card.

10.15.3 fixes this bug.
 
Sorry -- indeed, it did not fix it... I spoke too soon. It's odd though, because it genuinely was fixed as soon as I installed 10.15.3, but I guess I just didn't hit the video card yet.
