OSX 10.15.4 colour problem on external monitors

I've updated to OS X 10.15.4 on a MBP 16".

The built-in display works fine but my external monitors (LG 27UK850 and BenQ EW3270U) both of them connected via USB-C have big issues in colour terms.

The image is "corrupted" tinted purple and white colours a little blue.


Some one has similar problems?


Thanks!

The HDR box now appears in system preferences / displays. I'm fairly certain it wasn't showing up right after the update, so if you don't see it, try restarting, and unplugging/replugging things.


If the HDR box is checked, it limits the menu options available on the LG's built-in system. For me, unchecking this box and resetting the LG display seems to have returned things to normal.

Thanks for the information that 10.15.5 does not address the problem. This all started over a year ago for myself with external monitor issues. A year later and nothing. I stopped upgrading at 10.15.1 because it seemed that Apple was not heading in the right direction to fix any of this. Now its getting toward replacing my MAC and I have to say with all the issues with eternal monitors, 16in kernel panicing all the time, that I'm having to seriously think that its time to leave MAC alone as it seems to becoming so unreliable it can not be used for work reliably. Its disappointing but at the rate Apple fixes bugs I'm not convinced in the number of years it will take apple to make MAC OS actually usable and stable again. Its depressing waiting for a year for a fix just to get external monitors to work reliably.
