My laptop screen has gone weird

The colours look different, text is harder to read, what's going on?

Are you sure it's the laptop?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Did you go to Settings and display option? I think there may be a troubleshoot help, depending on how old your laptop is.

Clean the spunk off the screen is a microfibre chamois

Did you spill any liquid on it?

It's the arsenic in your water , you're going blind.

OP it sounds like you’ve inadvertently either turned on High Contrast theme or dark mode.

That should give you some idea of what to search for because you don’t give a whole lot of detail in your opening post.

Nah I turned those on in the hope that they would fix the situation. It's improved slightly itself in the meantime. It might've been on the piss over the long weekend.

prob the graphic chip loosening off the board, common issue (plagued some mac laptops). a good computer repair shop will be able to diagnose the problem reset the graphics chip onto the board for you.
