Hi! Thanks for the reply. It definitely seems related to that, since changing
the refresh rate to 120Hz fixes the problem. What's stranger is that, when
running the same setup on Windows (1440p resolution at 170Hz with HDR on) text
looks fine.

The only limit to the bandwidth seems to be either 8 bit when running above
120Hz, with 10 bit working below that. Why does KDE require 10 bit to display
color correctly when Windows can do that with 8 bit?
