What should I do if the monitor's screen color appears abnormal through the hub/dock's DP port?

When you connect a monitor to the DP port of a hub/dock, and if the screen appears abnormal with colors like yellow, red, green, blue, etc., the issue may be caused by the connected laptop, HDMI cable, monitor, or hub/dock itself. 

 

Here are some troubleshooting tips that may help you locate and resolve the problem.

 

For laptops:

  • Try the device with a different laptop that has a USB-C port and ensure that the C-port supports DP Alt Mode (display output) to see whether you can get a normal screen.
  • Check whether the HDR mode is on. If it is on, please turn it off as the HDR mode will turn the screen yellow.

 

For HDMI cables:

  • Try the device with a different DP cable.
  • If possible, plug your DP cable directly into your devices and see if you get a normal display.

 

For monitors:

  • Try the device with a different monitor.

 

For hubs/docks:

  • Try with a different hub/adapter to see whether you can get a normal display.
