Macbook Air display suddenly appearing washed-out

    I've had my 2013 Macbook Air 11" for 2 years 6 months. Yesterday, for the first time, the screen suddenly appeared noticeably a bit washed-out / faded. It's the same at the moment. It appeared to remedy itself last night at one point, but it's back to looking a bit washed out now again.

    I have disabled Automatic Brightness, and that seems to have "fixed" the problem. But I don't understand why it suddenly began to (seemingly out of nowhere) appear washed out and faded.

    Has anyone heard of this happening? :confused:

    Sounds odd. Could be the screen on it's way out?

    If you're in Dublin, check out "Right Click" on Camden St. Great dudes in there. They sorted my Macbook Air a year ago at 1/2 the price CompuB were looking for. I'm sure they would advise over the phone too.

    Exact same issue and fix on my Macbook Air. Also on a 2013 model. Mine would do it at startup and then eventually come normal.

    Try Mactivate in Blanchardstown.
