Understanding True Tone Technology
What is True Tone?
True Tone automatically adjusts your display's color temperature based on ambient lighting conditions. This feature uses sensors embedded in the display assembly to create a more natural viewing experience.
True Tone After Display Replacement
When replacing just the display panel:
- True Tone sensors remain in the old housing
- New panel may not communicate properly with existing sensors
- Feature can sometimes be restored through calibration
- Success rate varies by model and repair method
Important Note on True Tone
If True Tone functionality is critical for your work (photography, design, video editing), we strongly recommend the complete display assembly replacement to ensure all features work as intended.
