Apple’s Liquid Retina XDR and Pro Display XDR displays are awesome, but they may come with temperature constraints.
Apple on Thursday shared a new support document explaining a warning symbol that could appear on the MacBook Pro with Liquid Retina XDR Display or the Pro Display XDR when the screen is running too hot, leading to brightness being diminished.
The situation can occur if the ambient temperature of the room is high and if bright content has been playing for an extended period of time. Apple offer several solutions for those who see the warning, including lowering the temperature of the room and temporarily putting a Mac to sleep to allow it to cool.
Apple has offered the following suggestions as to how to avoid the issue:
On MacBook Pro with Liquid Retina XDR display, quit any apps that could be consuming significant system resources.
Use the Apple XDR Display or Pro Display XDR reference mode unless your current workflow requires a specific reference mode.
Lower the ambient temperature of the room.
Close or hide any windows with HDR content.
Choose Apple menu > Sleep to put your Mac to sleep. Let your display cool down for 5-10 minutes, then press any key on the keyboard to wake your Mac.
Apple says that users who see this problem continually when the ambient temperature of the room is under 77 degrees Fahrenheit should contact Apple Support for help.
If you’ve seen this issue on your end, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
