您的电脑屏幕看起来是否褪色(computer screen look washed ou)？颜色会褪色吗？也许它具有绿色、红色或蓝色色调，或者屏幕亮度关闭(the screen brightness is off)。发生这种情况的原因有很多，但这并不一定意味着您需要更换显示器。
显示器(Monitor)变色令人沮丧，不仅因为它会扰乱您的创造性工作，而且还会导致巨大的眼睛疲劳。本文将帮助您解决显示器变色的原因，并提供几种可能的解决方案来解决该问题。说到眼睛疲劳，蓝光过滤器(blue light filter)可能会帮助您解决这个问题。
显示器变色的原因是什么？
当谈到计算机显示器变色时，可能是软件或硬件问题。无论您的显示器是背光照明的LCD显示器还是每个像素都有照明的 OLED 显示器，这种情况都可能发生在所有类型的显示器上。(LCD)笔记本电脑屏幕也可能发生这种情况。
硬件(Hardware)故障在较旧的显示器中更为常见，但一些用户报告仅在Windows 10/11更新后才遇到变色问题。这表明Windows的显示设置不正确。在对显示器变色的可能软件原因进行故障排除之前，您应该将其连接到另一台计算机（如果可能），并查看显示器是否工作正常。您还可以通过插入不同的显示器来测试计算机，看看它是否会出现任何变色。
如果您遇到显示器变色和失真的情况，可以尝试以下步骤。
1. 重新启动您的电脑和显示器
如果您第一次遇到显示器变色的情况，这可能只是暂时的故障。要进行验证，只需重新启动电脑，然后按电源按钮关闭显示器即可。将其关闭至少 15 秒，然后再重新打开。如果这解决了问题，那么您很幸运！
操作系统问题通常可以通过简单的计算机重新启动来解决。(System)全新的开始可以消除可能的临时故障和错误，并可能解决您的问题。
2. 检查电缆连接
导致显示器屏幕变色的另一个硬件故障是连接电脑和显示器的电缆问题。确保(Make)电缆物理状况良好且牢固。检查电缆两端和沿线是否有损坏。
可能是你的电缆松动了。如果您使用的是较旧的VGA或DVI电缆，它们是用螺钉固定的，但即使它们也可能会松动。确保它们已拧回。如果您使用的是较新的HDMI电缆，请确保将它们完全推入。即使重力也会使它们松脱。
此外，有时该问题可能是由于HDMI电缆端口中积聚的灰尘和污垢引起的。确保它们干净。查看有关如何清洁显示器屏幕的(how to clean a monitor screen)更详细指南。
3. 对显示器进行消磁
如果您使用旧的CRT屏幕进行复古游戏，并且您发现变色集中在屏幕边缘，则意味着您需要对其进行消磁。消磁(Degaussing)就是减少磁场。请记住(Remember)，CRT显示器对磁铁非常敏感。
当您关闭并重新打开电源时，大多数CRT显示器都会自动消磁。(CRT)但如果这不能解决问题，您必须找到显示器型号上的消磁按钮。大多数情况下，它由马蹄形磁铁图标表示。只需(Simply)按下它即可对CRT显示器进行消磁。
如果找不到消磁按钮，则必须在屏幕菜单中搜索消磁选项。最新的CRT(CRT)显示器型号就是这种情况。
4.将显示器预设(Presets)恢复(Return Monitor) 为出厂设置(Factory Settings)
您可以使用显示器的调整按钮访问屏幕设置并找到预设的默认级别。查看显示器手册，找到适合您的显示器型号的确切步骤。启用它应该将所有显示器设置恢复为出厂级别。这应该可以纠正您在显示器上可能遇到的任何颜色问题。
如果您知道哪些设置导致显示器变色，您可以尝试手动调整亮度、饱和度、温度、色调或色彩平衡。

How to Fix Monitor Discoloration on Your Computer
Does your computer screen look washed out? Are the colors fading? Perhaps it has a green, red, or blue hue, or the screen brightness is off. There are many reasons this could happen, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you need to replace your monitor.
Monitor discoloration is frustrating, not only because it can mess up your creative work, but it also causes immense eye strain. This article will help you troubleshoot the cause of your monitor discoloration, and give several possible solutions that can fix the issue. And speaking of eye strain, a blue light filter might help you with that.
What Causes Monitor Discoloration?
When it comes to computer monitor discoloration, it could be a software or hardware issue. It doesn’t matter if your monitor is an LCD monitor that gets illuminated by a backlight or an OLED with illumination for each pixel, it can happen to all types of displays. It can also happen to a laptop screen.
Hardware failure is more common with older monitors, but some users reported experiencing discoloration only after a Windows 10/11 update. That points out that the display settings for Windows are incorrect. Before you go troubleshooting the possible software causes of monitor discoloration, you should connect it to another computer (if possible), and see if your monitor is working fine. You can also test your computer by plugging in a different monitor to see if it will experience any discoloration.
If you’re experiencing monitor discoloration and distortion you could try the following steps.
1. Restart Your PC and Monitor
If you’re experiencing monitor discoloration for the first time, it could be just a temporary glitch. To verify, simply restart your PC, and turn your monitor off by pressing the power button. Keep it off for at least 15 seconds before turning it back on. If this solved the issue you were lucky!
The Operating System issues are often fixed by a simple computer restart. A fresh start removes possible temporary glitches and bugs and it may fix your issue.
2. Check the Cable Connection
Another hardware failure that causes monitor screen discoloration is the issue with the cable that connects your PC and monitor. Make sure that the cable is physically okay and secure. Check for damages on both ends and along the cable.
It’s possible your cable came loose. If you’re using the older VGA or DVI cables, they are secured by screws, but even they can get loose. Make sure they are screwed back in. If you’re using newer HDMI cables, make sure they are pushed in all the way. Even gravity can make them come loose.
Also, sometimes the issue can be caused by dust and grime gathering in the HDMI cable ports. Make sure they’re clean. Check out our more detailed guide on how to clean a monitor screen.
3. Degauss the Monitor
If you’re using an old CRT screen for retro gaming, and you experience discoloration concentrated along the edges of the screen, it means you’ll need to degauss it. Degaussing is reducing the magnetic field. Remember that CRT displays are very sensitive to magnets.
Most CRT monitors degauss automatically when you power them off and back on. But if this doesn’t fix the issue, you’ll have to locate the degauss button on your monitor model. Most often it’s represented by a horseshoe-shaped magnet icon. Simply press it to degauss your CRT monitor.
If you can’t find the degauss button, you’ll have to search for the degauss option in the screen menu. This will be the case with the latest CRT monitor models.
4. Return Monitor Presets to the Factory Settings
You can use your monitor’s adjustment buttons to access on screen settings and find the preset default level. Check your monitor’s manual to find the exact steps for your display model. Enabling it should return all monitor settings to the factory level. This should correct any color issues you might experience with your monitor.
If you know what settings are causing the monitor discoloration, you can try manually adjusting brightness, saturation, temperature, tint, or color balance.
5. Update Display Driver
Corrupted display drivers are among the most common causes of discolored, faded, or glitchy PC monitors. This should be a step you take if you are trying to fix it on your own. There are several ways to update monitor drivers and it’s your choice how you’ll do it.
Windows Update Center is one way to do it. Here’s how:
- Type Windows Update in the Windows search bar.
- Select the Check for updates button.
- If you find display updates available, simply install them.
6. Roll Back the Display Driver
If you’re experiencing monitor issues after a Windows update, you can try fixing them by rolling back your display drivers to the previous settings.
Follow these steps to do it:
- Open the Windows search box and type Device Manager.
- Launch the Device Manager by pressing Enter key on your keyboard.
- Find the Display Adapters section and expand it.
- Right-click on your display driver and select Properties from the menu.
- Select the Driver tab on the pop-up window.
- If you can click the Roll Back Driver button, do it. If it’s grayed out it means there’s nothing to roll back to. Press the OK button.
- Restart your computer to implement the changes.
Once the system is up, check if your monitor is still displaying discoloration.
7. Disable HDR
Your monitor might have discoloration issues if you somehow enabled the HDR (High Dynamic Range) feature in the past, but the monitor is not compatible with it. If this is the case, you can turn the HDR option off, and see if this fixes your monitor.
Follow these instructions to turn the HDR feature off on Windows 11:
- Press the Windows key + I on your keyboard to open the System Settings app.
- Go to the Display page.
- If you have more than one monitor connected to your PC select the HDR-capable display.
- Turn off the Use HDR button.
- Restart your PC and check if this solved the issue.
For Windows 10 users the steps are similar:
- Open the Settings app with the Win + I shortcut.
- Select the System category.
- Go to the Display page.
- Click the Windows HD Color Settings link you’ll find on the right side.
- Select the HDR-capable monitor from the drop-down menu in the Choose Display section.
- Turn the HDR and WCG off.
8. Reinstall the Monitor Drivers
Monitor driver files can get corrupted with time. Many users reported they fixed the discoloration issues by simply reinstalling them. But you’ll first need to uninstall them completely. Here’s how:
- Open the Device Manager.
- Select the Monitors section and expand it.
- Right-click your monitor driver.
- Select the Uninstall device from the menu.
- A small dialog box will pop up. Select the Uninstall button.
- Restart your computer.
After the restart, Windows 11 will automatically detect that monitor drivers are missing, and it’ll reinstall them automatically.
9. Remove the Color Profile
Removing the Color Profile for the monitor that is experiencing discoloration might help. Although this is rarely what causes the problem, it’s still worth a try. Here’s how to do it:
- Open up the Control Panel. You can type it in the Windows Search box.
- Switch the View by mode to either Large icons or Small icons.
- Select Color Management.
- Go to the Devices tab.
- From the drop-down menu, select the problematic display if you have more than one plugged into your PC.
- Select the Color Profile for the selected display.
- Select the Remove button and then click OK (if prompted) and close the Color Management window.
- Use the same steps to remove other profiles if they exist.
- Restart your computer.
10. Turn Off Color Filters
If you have turned on the Color Filters, you should consider turning them off. It’s this setting that can cause your monitor to display fading colors or red, blue, and green tints. Here’s how you can disable the Color Filters:
- Use the Win + I keyboard shortcut to access the Settings app.
- Select the Accessibility category from the left-side menu.
- Go to the Color Filters page from the right panel.
- Turn off the Color Filters button.
Restart your PC and see if this fixed the discoloration issue.
