If others have similar success with this method I’ll update the process. Update, : According to Peter’s post, you don’t need to disable SIP if you use recovery mode.

Update, : A comment from nos1609 below, warns about a bootloop that can occur when running other patches (like the pixel-clock patch) simultaneously, and how to get around it. Others have had success with it so give it a go if you’re uncomfortable with disabling SIP. Update, : In the comments Marcus has proposed a faster method that doesn’t require SIP to be disabled. Many questions have been answered with helpful tips from others. I no longer own a Macbook Pro, but if you’re having trouble with any of these steps, please have a look through the comments below (and note that there are multiple pages). The overrides folder location is “/System/Library/Displays/Overrides”.You do not need to disable/re-enable rootless mode and perform the subsequent reboots.There are two differences to the steps above: The process is a little more straightforward. You will need to re-enable rootless mode to do this. To undo the changes, either delete the folder you had copied to the Overrides folder (if it didn’t already exist) or replace it with the folder you had backed up. Re-enable “rootless” mode, the instructions are available on the same guide: How to modify System Integrity Protection in El Capitan.The picture quality should be fixed from this point. If Finder tells you that you are overwriting an existing folder, consider backing it up first. You may have to create the Resources and Overrides folders. Move it into the “/System/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides” folder. A new folder will be created in your home directory.The script will make override files for any connected monitor. Connect only the external monitor(s) in question, if you can (I closed my MacBook lid, for example).Disable “rootless” mode, you can follow these instructions: How to modify System Integrity Protection in El Capitan.Download the patch-edid.rb script from the forums thread above, or download Andrew Daugherity’s improved patch-edid.rb script from his github page.See below for differences for previous versions of the system. These steps have been updated for Mac OS version 10.11, “El Capitan”.

Do they just not care about those using third-party components, or are they actively attempting to force people on to Thunderbolt displays? How to force RGB in Mac OS X It seems that this problem has been reported by a lot of people for a long time, and I expect it would require a fairly simple software update. My last word is to wonder what Apple is playing at. I’ve summarised the required steps below. It was written to fix problems connecting an external monitor via DisplayPort, but it fixed my HDMI issue just the same.

Your thread and script was incredibly helpful and informative. It didn’t appear to be available out-of-the-box, but I have had some experience in overriding EDID settings for similar purposes so I searched instead for that. I was sure that it was using RGB when hooked up to my PC, so I started searching instead for forcing RGB mode in OS X. My lucky break was reading that the current colour space was “YCbCr” when I was browsing the monitor’s settings menu. (I realise that owning a Mac makes me an Apple person, too.

“You just haven’t calibrated it!”, “You are just too used to Retina now!”, “You just need to buy a Thunderbolt display!” Apple people also like to solve problems by throwing more money at it. The most common response was to blame the monitor, despite assurances from the stricken users that the monitor worked beautifully in Linux and Windows, even on the same machine under Boot Camp.

Googling for problems with external monitors on MacBooks found dozens of threads on official and unofficial Apple forums, all full of people with the same problem. Long answer: I haven’t owned a Mac for a while and had forgotten how difficult much of the “Apple community” can be when it comes to anything that can’t be adjusted in System Preferences. I had to override an EDID setting to force the RGB colour space, and it is now working correctly. Short answer: OS X thinks my monitor is a TV, and is using the YCbCr colour space rather than RGB. No amount of calibration in the monitor or software would fix it. The contrast was all wrong and text was misshapen.

I recently bought a MacBook Pro (with ‘Retina’ screen), but when I hooked it up to my Dell U2410 monitor via HDMI cable I was shocked by the poor picture quality.
