U4919DW, MacBook Pro, PBP split screen, color mismatch
I tried to split my screens but get colors that are completely off at one of the PBP screens. I have a MacBook Pro M2 and connect the monitor with an USB-C and a HDMI cable. Wrong cables or something else?

I changed the contrast for the screen that didn't show correct, which solved the problem. Just wondering if it's normal there is a difference between a USB-C cable and HDMI? Gives DisplayPort better colours than HDMI?
Good work finding the fix via PBP --> Contrast (Sub) !
The User's Guide states on page 9 =
HDMI/DP connection supports 10-bit color at 60 Hz. USB Type-C connection supports 8-bit color at 60 Hz
So if the source PC supported 10-bit color, it is saying that HDMI would be better than USB-C.
But we have no idea if the MacBook Pro supports 10-bit color? If not, then both at 8-bit color, I would think that USB-C/DP would have better color than HDMI.
