Hey Guys,

I have a Problem with my new 2018 Macbook Pro, it just seems to not display colors (mostly gradients) accurately. I've made a simple HTML file so i could test if maybe it was some softwares fault, but as you see in Safari (left) the colors are dithered but clearly not in greyscale and in Firefox (right) it also looks like the display would display not enough colors at all... Thats not just a problem in Firefox, gradients in the general macOS UI also have this Problem. Could this be normal or is my Display defect? Other Displays like my TV don't have this Issue so I don't think its a Software Failure...

Below there's also my HTML script if you'd like to see for yourself...

Thanks for any Help guys

Also notice the terrible Drop Shadow in the Center... I really don't think this could be normal at all in such an expensive machine...

Welcome to our forums.

The first thing we would advise you is if you think something is not working as it should and you are within the 14 day no questions asked return period, you should exchange it. You can look at the colors better by using the "ColorSync Utility.app" from Application -> Utilities -> ColorSync Utility.app.
