If you're having color banding, you may need to force RGB on your external monitor [1]. I had to do this a few years ago, it massively improved the picture.

That said, I was in disbelief that this was a problem that both was common enough to be all over the Internet, and so involved to fix. Amazes me that OSX doesn't simply have an advanced setting for RGB/YPrPb, and instead requires that you boot into Recovery Mode (!!!) to fix it!

That's.. very weird to pick chroma subsampled format by default when RGB or 4:4:4 is available.

Anyway, low-dpi screens on macOS are so blurry because it doesn't do font hinting.

Windows does subsampling by default. The whole point of subsampling is that it looks better than just 4:4:4.

At least in Big Sur, you can just place the override in /Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides instead of /System/Library/[...]. This may work in earlier versions as well, but it equally wouldn't surprise me if it was only added to Big Sur because of the Signed System Volume thing.
