External Monitor has Pink Tint




I have a 16" 2019 MacBook Pro. I just got a new 4k 144Hz monitor, a Gigabyte M32U that works great on my windows machine. However when I use my MacBook with it, the screen has this awful pink tint to it that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix. Currently it's plugged in using an HDMI cable to a dongle, however I have also tried using a DisplayPort -> USB-C cable as well which had the same result. I've tried other random things like resetting my NVRAM, changing display profiles, and changing screen resolutions. At the moment my monitor is configured to use HDMI 2.1, however I've tried changing that setting to HDMI 2.0 and had the same problem. I have 2 monitors plugged in at the moment, one that is a 1440p 144Hz Dell that has always worked just fine, the other is this new Gigabyte monitor. You can see that the Dell monitor has the correct color, while the Gigabyte monitor has the pink tint to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately I tried that, I ended up running and buying an Apple brand HDMI dongle and trying that out and for whatever reason that did the trick, no more pink tint. Still don’t understand why even when using a direct connection with DisplayPort -> USB-C and no dock involved I still got the pink tint. Strange but whatever works I guess.
