Most external monitors on M1 macs not outputting RGB

This is an issue on pretty well every external monitor on a M1 Mac. If you check the color format directly on your monitor settings you’ll see the color format is in YPBPR and can’t be changed properly into RGB. Unfortunately more people don't realize they aren't seeing RGB color format, there is a big loss of quality with this. This is an issue with the Mac OS that has yet to be addressed and hopefully will be addressed, I have bought 3 monitors and returned 2 all 3 have this issue, for colour critical work this is a big issue Apple is failing to correct. It is disappointing a new product is outputting an inferior image and for those who have wasted hours and money trying to find a monitor that will work are left with no explanation or response to the issue from apple. Please submit feedback to apple of this issue and hope that enough people do the same.

Mac mini, macOS 11.1
