Possible fix for Mac?

Hey all,

Previously I wrote about a newer Macbook Pro M4 being ok for me (Mainly on external displays) until I installed Premiere and something changed.

I think I found the fix here - https://gist.github.com/GetVladimir/c89a26df1806001543bef4c8d90cc2f8

Being a work Mac and not being the administrator I could only do the following terminal commands. Which I think has helped.

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add DisplaySets:Configs:DisplayConfig:DisplayConfig:DisplayConfig:LinkDescription:BitDepth integer" ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.displays.*.plist

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set DisplaySets:Configs:DisplayConfig:DisplayConfig:DisplayConfig:LinkDescription:BitDepth 8" ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.displays.*.plist

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add DisplaySets:Configs:DisplayConfig:DisplayConfig:DisplayConfig:LinkDescription:EOTF integer" ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.displays.*.plist

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add DisplaySets:Configs:DisplayConfig:DisplayConfig:DisplayConfig:LinkDescription:PixelEncoding integer" ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.displays.*.plist

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add DisplaySets:Configs:DisplayConfig:DisplayConfig:DisplayConfig:LinkDescription:Range integer" ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.displays.*.plist

What do you mean something changed?

Also I am using a 2019 Macbook and I am fine with an external LCD monitor. I am considering getting the M4 but not sure if it would be bad for my LED sensitivity.

Thanks

Zazu I installed Adobe Premiere and after that noticed eye strain. I can only assume it changed to a different colour mode. The .plist fix may have changed it back for me, but too early to say.
