Q: Force RGB over HDMI connection??!! (Dell U2414H)

Since Apple's support refuses to help me, nor do they seem to grasp incredibly basic technical information regarding monitors, I'm turning to you, dear forum.


I just bought two brand brand and professional calibrated Dell U2414H monitors to use with my Mac mini workstation in an extended desktop environment.  ...even though Apple themselves erroneously told me I'd be able to daisy chain these monitors over the Thunderbolt connection using MiniDisplay Port 1.2 MST... (they were wrong, their GPU doesn't support DP 1.2)...  So, I resorted to plugging the second monitor into the available HDMI port.


Problem:  The Mac OS will not send the right color space (RGB) over HDMI.  It sees the monitor as a TV for some reason, and will only send YPbPr... Therefore, my monitors that I paid extra to have calibrated perfectly, do not match.


I ran this script: http://embdev.net/topic/284710#3027030

but it didn't change anything.  I'm searching for new solutions now...


Can anyone help?

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
