I have done all steps guided by Chanh, but I stuck at pasting DisplayVendorID-XXXX to /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/System/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/OverridesĢ. After taking lots of time to search for the solution, this is how I actually solve this problem:ġ.

I’m using Catalina 10.15.5, my external monitor is Dell 2419H and I’ve met this blurry problem. Quit the “Disk Utility” when done in order to launch the Terminal application. If it isn’t on your system, launch the “Disk Utility” first (before the “Terminal”), select the “Macintosh HD” disk (or whatever you named it), and click the “Mount” button.

On my Mac, the main “Macintosh HD” drive is automatically mounted.

Once in recovery mode (you will see “macOS Utilities” in the top menu bar), click on the “Utilities” menu and select “Terminal” to launch the Terminal application.

Then just click and release “Command-R” keys to launch into the recovery mode.

Tip: An easier alternative is to hold the “Option/Alt” key on boot to launch the Startup Manager.

When the Mac starts up, hold down “Command-R” (hold down both the “Command ⌘” and “R” keys) and release when you see the Apple logo. However, the “DisplayVendorID-10ac” folder did already exist there.

On my Mac, the “DisplayProductID-f016” file did not exist in the system “Overrides” folder.

We will need to put the ProductID file with its VendorID parent folder under the EDID overrides folder like so: “/System/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-10ac/DisplayProductID-f016”.

Take note of the output file, “/DisplayVendorID-10ac/DisplayProductID-f016”.

Output file: /Users /chanh /Downloads /patch-edid /DisplayVendorID-10ac /DisplayProductID-f016

Download the “patch-edid.rb” script file from GitHub’s adaugherity/patch-edid.rb project.On my Dell monitor, I go to the monitor’s settings Menu and select “Color Settings” to view the “Input Color Format” field.īecause the EDID override files are located in a protected system directory, “/System/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides/”, we will need to use the macOS Recovery Mode to write to it. Tip: To verify that YPbPr is being used by your monitor, check the “Input Color Format” in the monitor settings. The details are documented by this webpage, Fixing the External Monitor Color Problem with My 2018 MacBook Pro. This is accomplished by creating or overwriting the macOS’s EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) configuration file for the Dell monitor. The solution is to force the Mac to use the RGB input color format for my Dell U2410 monitor.

Online comments seem to indicate that this issue only occurs with the 2018 (and probably later) Macs. Note: I did not see this problem when connecting my MacBook Air 2015 to the Dell monitor using the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. I am not sure why the Mac defaulted to using YPbPr, instead of the superior RGB color format.

The Dell monitor supports two input color formats, RGB (digital computer standard) and YPbPr (analog TV standard). The problem is caused by the Mac choosing to talk to the Dell monitor using YPbPr, an input color format previously used by S-Video and composite video for analog TVs. The text looks like it would on an old analog TV.

After connecting my newly-purchased Mac mini 2018 to my Dell U2410 24 inch 1920×1200 LCD monitor by HDMI cable, I notice that the text is a little blurry and pixelated.
