Just got my new M1 Max MBP, amazing for the most part. Problem I'm running into now is with my monitor. I use a LG 27UK650 (4k) monitor, with my laptop closed. I just tried hooking up via DisplayPort into my CalDigit TS3, and noticed that no matter what scaling I chose in the display settings, fonts seemed weirdly fuzzy/blurry. I then tried hooking via HDMI to the actual HDMI port on the MBP, and the fonts are less fuzzy but still look bad... almost like they aren't smoothed.

My monitor doesn't report RGB or YPbPr on it's OSD, so I can't tell what it's doing.

I have read plenty about the 1440p issue and needing 'BetterDummy', but that shouldn't apply to a 4K monitor.

How do you guys get a crisp image??
