External monitor looks fuzzy and blurry

Hi,

I just received yesterday my new MacBook pro 16 M1 Max to replace my old MacBook pro 13 Intel i7.

I'm used to plug my laptop on ultrawide monitor LG 38wn75c-b.

With my old laptop everything was perfect and the resolution is sharp.

Also on my other laptop, Dell XPS running on Linux, everything is perfect.

But with the new MacBook m1, it looks really blurry and fuzzy, especially fonts and icons.

Of course I tried all settings but nothing to do.

Does someone have the same issue ? Any solution ?

It's really disappointing, I'm hesitering to send the laptop back because it's not possible to work with.

Thank you for your help,

Regards

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.4

I'm just not knowledgeable enough on external monitors. You have a brand new MacBook Pro. Contact Apple Support for direct help. If you are in the US, call them at 800-MY-APPLE. I will say that often these issues are caused by not using the right cable for a Silicone M1 MBP.
