Video streaming looks horrible on M1 Mac Mini

[Mity]

I bought GoogleTV 4K and I noticed that when setting it up, there was. part about adjusting picture settings. On my Samsung UHD TV, I watched Netlix and the picture looks great. I hooked an M1 Mac Mini that I got and the picture looks quite bad. I went into Display Settings and played around with the different color profiles but nothing looks as good as GoogleTV.

Does/did anyone else have this issue and know of a solution?

Check your TV's settings, it could be in a different picture mode like "computer" or have something else enabled/disabled that isn't on the GoogleTV input.

Oddly enough, the Google TV is hooked up to the HDMI 1 connection reading as "computer." The Mac Mini is on HDMI 2. I swapped the connections and there is no change.

The problem seems to be in Chrome. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253298992

Streaming in Safari is clear.

Why does this happen?

Netflix in Chrome is limited to 720p I believe.
Netflix in Safari is up to 4K.

My understanding is that they use different forms of DRM.
