iPhone 11 Pro Max screen colour issues

Ok so this is a bit of a weird one... I got my iPhone 11 Pro Max last Friday. All set up and working OK. Yesterday I was wiping my old XS Max and I noticed that the iPhone 11 screen looked ‘dull’ by comparison - muted colours and just washed out. I thought it might be a dodgy OLED panel BUT when I went to change the wallpaper in settings, the preview image IS vibrant and the colours much better. Images attached to prove I’m not going nuts (I hope). I went to my local Apple store and they said it all looks fine. I’m wondering if this is an iOS issue as surely if it was the panel itself it wouldn’t show any difference between the images? I’ve checked and turned off/ on all settings like True Tone etc but to no avail... anyone have any ideas?!!

Honestly this is driving me crazy! Got the new iPhone 11 max pro, and so excited to utilize the amazing screen, just too discover any photo I set as the home wallpaper is completely washed out! Some might think it’s only a minor issue but tbh for the amount paid this really needs to be resolved ASAP. The only photos that look decent as the background are the apple wallpaper. Anyone know when this will be fixed?
