I am not sure if anyone uses a MacBook with a Smartboard. I have an issue with the SB screen when connecting the computer to it.

I have a MacBook Air (M1, 2020) running Ventura (22A380). The SB is a newer MX065-v3 model. The computer is connected to the board using a hub and HDMI cable. When the computer is connected to the board the SB screen is greenish and washed out. The board is not clear.

I have tried different computers, cables, hubs and I narrowed it down to something with Ventura. I have tried another MacBook running Monterey and the SB screen is fine and clear.

I have reached out to Smarttech support (maker of Smartboard) and they told me to update the drivers on the MacBook. Obviously, I can't manually update the drivers like you can on a PC.

Perhaps I am missing something on the computer in Displays or another setting. If I connect the computer using the same hub and VGA then the screen is fine and clear. Otherwise the computer works fine.
 
Just an update. If anyone works for a school district and their teachers are using a MacBook Air (M1) along with a Smartboard, don't use the Mokin hub.

I replaced the Mokin with a Hiearcool hub and it resolved the issue. Mokin is a terrible hub to use.
