Sidecar Resolution Troubles

I have been trying to use sidecar to mirror to a 2018 iPad pro12.9 from a 2018 Mac mini for digital art, and the resolution to the iPad is terrible with the color being off, and its pixelated and fuzzy . The image to the main monitor which is not even 4K is terrific. I have tried every settings, and connected both through USB C and Bluetooth, but nothing seems to help. I would think since the iPad has a better resolution rate that the image should even be better, but the is not the case. I was wondering if anyone else is having trouble with this issue, or should I contact apple support for this. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you,

Joshua

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell
