Second monitor Colors are off and is blurry

It seems I’m not the first to ask this question but none of the solutions have worked for me. I have a laptop with a second monitor. The colors are extremely dull and everything looks blurry.

I have tried this solution:
https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/display-manager-multi-monitor-configuration/4526

Nothing seems to change.

Is there a reason why you don’t give us information about your hardware etc. in the form of the garuda-inxi required by the template?

Note: I’ve been locked out of replying to this discussion or editing my post below, so I’m using this post to edit. I’m not sure what

garuda-inxi

does but i put it down below.

The laptop I’m using is a Swift SFX14-42G.
Ryzen 7 5825U
GeForce RTX 3050Ti (though I’m not using it by default)
both the laptop and monitor are 1920x1080

After doing some research it seems the problem is only caused by booting up with the monitor connected. This is not the case for me. Even if I connect it after booting up the problem persists .

I have also tried the solution here:

But get this:

garuda-inxi
xrandr --dpi 276 --fb 7040x3960 \
--output eDP-1 --mode 3200x1800 \
--output DP-1-2 --scale 2x2 --pos 3200x0 --panning 3840x2160+3200+0
xrandr: cannot find mode 3200x1800
