Before you begin

You can resolve many display issues by updating the software on your Apple devices, cables, and adapters. If you can see an image on your screen, check for software updates using the Mac App Store:

Connect your external display and any Apple video cables or adapters that you use with it.
From the Apple menu, choose App Store.
Click the Updates button in the App Store window.
Install any macOS or firmware updates that are listed.

If you're using a display, hub, extender, or adapter not made by Apple, check with the manufacturer for any updates that might be available.

If you're trying to connect a 4K display or Ultra HD TV with your Mac, make sure your computer meets the requirements for using these external displays.

If your software and firmware are up to date, or if you can't see the image on your screen, try the steps below for your specific issue.

If the display image is blank or unusable

Try these steps if you don't see an image on your display. These steps can also help if the image on your screen repeatedly turns on and off (flickers), if horizontal lines appear (snow), or if the image is distorted (torn or scrambled).

These steps likely won't help if the issue is only happening in one app. If you see similar issues in only one window or app, check with the app's developer for updates or more help.

Check connections

Check the connections to your Mac and external displays:

If you're using an Apple notebook, try connecting its power adapter.
Make sure the external display's power cable is securely connected and that your display is turned on.
If you're using a Mac Pro (Late 2013) make sure your displays are connected to the right ports.
If you're using a display hub, switchbox, or 'KVM,' try connecting your display's video cable directly to your Mac instead.
Disconnect the video cable where it plugs into your Mac, then plug it back in to reseat the connection.
If you're using a video adapter, unplug the video adapter from your Mac, then plug it back in to reseat the connection.
If you're using more than one video adapter to connect your display (the adapters are 'chained' together), try connecting the display using only one adapter if possible. Some video adapters can't be connected together. For example, a mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter can't be connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter.
If your display has more than one video connection, see if using another connection on the display works. If possible, check to see if using a different display or a different adapter works.
Try using a different cable that you know is in working order. Check with the display's manufacturer to make sure you're using the cable they recommend.
Restart the Mac with the display connected.

Detect your display

If you're using an external display, sleep and wake your Mac to make it check for connected displays:

Press the power button on your computer to put it to sleep, or choose Apple menu > Sleep.
Wait a few moments, then press a key on your keyboard or click your mouse or trackpad to wake your Mac.

If you're using more than one display, and you can see the image on one of the displays, you can also use Displays preferences to check for connected displays.

Adjust video settings

If there's no image on your display, try adjusting your display's brightness or contrast. If there's still no image, or the image appears torn or scrambled, try selecting a different video resolution in System Preferences.

Adjust brightness

If you're using an Apple Display, press the increase brightness key on your Apple keyboard. To adjust the brightness of a secondary display, press Control-F2.
If you're using a display that's not made by Apple, check the documentation that came with your display to see if it includes built-in controls for adjusting its brightness or contrast.

Change your display resolution

From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
Click the Displays icon.
Click Default for display. If you see more than one resolution listed, choose a resolution and refresh rate. If the display turns off when you change resolutions, press the escape key to undo the change.

If you can't change the resolution of your display because you can't see an image, restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the display resolution to defaults.

If starting in safe mode doesn't resolve the issue, reset your Mac's NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their defaults.

Check for third-party display software

If your display works only when your Mac is started in safe mode, and you have display-related software installed, check with the software's developer for updates, or try temporarily uninstalling it.

If an image appears fuzzy or blurry

If images or text on your display appear pixelated or blurry, check these things.

Check your display resolution

Make sure your display resolution in System Preferences is set to its default. If you're using a resolution that's scaled, the image might be magnified to fit the display. This can cause the image to look blurry in some apps.

From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
Click the Displays icon.
Select Default for display.

If you use a monitor or an HDTV connected with an HDMI cable, you might see a difference in video quality if your display is set to television mode. Check your display for a 'monitor mode' setting to get the best video quality.

Retina displays

If an app you're using appears low resolution on your Retina display, check to see if an update to the app is available. Most apps have been updated to use the higher pixel densities of Retina displays.

Lower-resolution images on some web pages might also appear 'softer' when viewed on a Retina display. This is because Retina displays have a higher pixel density and not all websites use Retina-ready images.

For example, the images below look different when viewed on a Retina display, but the same on a non-Retina display. This happens because the Retina-ready image has a higher pixel density:

If you see contrast or color issues

If your entire display image seems too dark or too bright, you can adjust the brightness and contrast from the Displays pane of System Preferences, or by using your display's built-in controls.

Adjust brightness and contrast

To adjust the brightness of your Apple display, press the brightness key or F2 key on your keyboard. You can also use the brightness adjustment for each connected display in System Preferences > Displays.

Displays not made by Apple sometimes have brightness and color adjustments built into the display. Check the documentation for your display to see if it includes built-in controls.

When you connect a display, projector, or HDTV using an HDMI cable, you might see a difference in video quality if your display is set to television mode. Check your device for a 'monitor mode' setting to achieve the best video quality.

You can also calibrate each display from the Color tab of Displays preferences to get the best color and brightness from your display.

If you see bright or dark pixels

If individual pixels on your display seem too bright or too dark, see these articles for more help:

Connecting displays with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C)

The Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter connects Mac models with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports to older devices that use Thunderbolt (10Gbps) or Thunderbolt 2 (20Gbps). For example, this is the adapter that you should use to connect your MacBook Pro to an Apple Thunderbolt Display or a third-party Thunderbolt 2 storage device.

This adapter doesn't support connections to Mini DisplayPort displays, including the following Apple adapters and displays:

Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
Apple LED Cinema Display

If you're using the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter to connect to a compatible display and the display doesn't show an image, try unplugging the adapter and plugging it back in.

Steam might be off to try and conquer the wild, new world of virtual reality, but it there is one other uncharted territory where it has yet to leave a mark. Android is probably the last platform you’d imagine Steam to run on, but, considering the places the OS can now be found on, it probably shouldn’t be a surprise anymore. At least, soon. That is exactly what company CodeWeavers is trying to do and it showed off part of the work, with the Steam client running on the Android-based Remix OS.

Let’s get terminology and technical stuff straight first. CodeWeavers is company whose main product is CrossOver, a software that, to put it in extremely simplistic terms, allows some Windows programs to run on Linux and Mac OS X. CrossOver itself is an improved and commercially sold version of Wine (technically WINE, which stands for “Wine Is Not an Emulator), a popular piece of open source software that does the same. Neither Wine nor CrossOver are magic solutions that make all Windows programs work on those operating systems. Some do, some don’t. Some work flawlessly and other work minimally.

One of the things that Wine and CrossOver have been good at is getting some Windows games to work on Linux and Mac, again to varying degrees of success. Considering the complexity of Windows games and the fact that they use something like DirectX, that is no small achievement. It is that achievement that Wine and CrossOver developers are aiming to bring to Android, which is, at its heart, a Linux-based operating system.

At GDC 2016, CodeWeavers President James Ramey showed off a part of that promise. It was the Steam Client running on Android, albeit on the Remix OS version of the platform. Remix practically respins Android into a shape and form that works almost as well as a desktop OS like Windows. To be specific, the version of Remix OS seen in the video below is probably the new version that runs on x86, that is Intel, computers, like a MacBook pro, for example. It is conceivably easier to get Wine working on an Intel-based computer than an ARM-based one, since Wine was developed for desktop platforms primarily.

That said, getting the Steam client to run on Android is just one small but significant step. It does prove that Wine on Android, at least x86 Android does at least work. Getting a more resource-intensive Windows game to actually run on Android, however, is a whole different ballpark. If CodeWeavers succeeds in executing that just as well as it does on Linux and Mac OS X, then it could, in theory, bring Android to a whole new exciting frontier.
