The built-in camera of my Apply Thunderbolt Display (MC914LL/B 27") is always blurry. Items up close look better, but are still blurry. In fact, everything looks bright and washed out like a bad Instagram filter, like the beach after waking up from a sandy nap, or after walking out of the eye doctor with those dilating eye drops…
It is blurry for all apps.
It is blurry with my MacBook Pro lid open or closed.
It is blurry before and after plugging in my Thunderbolt cable.
The screen and camera lens are clean.
The built-in camera on my MacBook Pro, connected to this Thunderbolt Display, is crystal clear.
I have the latest display firmware, 1.2, and the latest MacBook Pro updates.
Any ideas on how to fix this / force it to focus on a specific distance?
Best,
Adam

Just fixed mine, my camera is inside the TB Display, I took the camera out and since it is fixed focus I turned the objective lens 1 quart and connected again. It was fixed!
