Hi. I have an M1 Mac Studio connected via HDMI to a Samsung 43 Inch OLED (QN90B). There's just something off with the colors especially the color green, it is blindingly too bright and oversaturated, this concerns MacOS greens like the green colors of the messages app and the facetime app, they're overexposed and way too bright. I tried all the available color profiles and the problem is present in all of them. I played with the screen's settings including the tint settings, the brightness, contrast and so on with no solution. I tried multiple HDMI cables all of them to the latest standard, no dice. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be deeply appreciated, this setup cost me thousands of dollars and I did not anticipate this problem. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

M1 Mac Studio HDMI weird colors

I took a quick look at the specs for this (it's actually sold as a tv, and not as a "computer display", right?).
It shows 120hz as the input frequency.
Can the Studio output that? I mean, "normally"?
(I thought 4k@60hz was "standard" for the Mac output)
How many HDMI inputs on the back of the Samsung?
If it has HDMI 2.0, are you using that?
If it has HDMI 2.0, are you using an HDMI cable that is "HDMI 2.0, high-speed" (there are many "flavors" of HDMI cables, quite confusing)?
(just some random thoughts)
