Hi! I just upgraded my GPU from an RX 5600 XT to a RX 7900 XTX. I use a single 48" LG C1 OLED TV, and I'm running GNOME. I'm currently running into issues where the colors appear drab and muted after the hardware upgrade. I've had this issue before, but usually resolved it using my LG TV's color settings. I even tried "game mode", which is helpful, but not helpful enough to make the colors match what I expect to see. Nothing I'm trying this time helps very much at all, so I'm wondering if there's a software issue of some kind. I also found it helps to not run the display at 120 Hz, otherwise that results in weird coloring around text characters antialiasing. I'm using HDMI, with a proper HDMI 2.1 cable, but I can't use DP since it's technically a TV. I've been an Arch user for over a decade, but I'm new to troubleshooting these kinds of issues, so I'm not quite sure where to start or what to try. halp?
