Hi,

I recently switched from an old 2013 iMac, to a new 2020 M1 MBA, which I've paired with an external Dell U2720Q monitor.

My old iMac screen was perfect in terms of its intensity on my eyes and viewing comfort. However, I find that I get quite a lot of eye fatigue from this new monitor - I can't pinpoint the problem exactly, but it doesn't feel as soft or comfortable as my old iMac display's viewing experience, despite it being a higher resolution monitor than my iMac.

Is there a way to calibrate my new external monitor to my old iMac? I've tried adjusting the brightness, contrast, even adding 'night shift' and trying to reduce the white point setting under Calibration. But I can't seem to get anything close to my old beloved iMac.

Thank you!
