Hardware adaptors to fix all output signal problems on macbook

Donux

Using analogy of guitar player who uses guitar to produce raw signal, then effect processors for signal manipulation, and then eventually output device such as an amp or other intermediate devices. Using the same analogy, what potential products (obviously as an unintended consequence) we could use to put it in between signal coming from a Apple M device and output device such as monitor? This could be a good place to summarize everything, as there were couple of devices mentioned in various parts of this forum that have unintended consequence of eliminating strain and dithering.

As one of my colleagues used to say

Apple did go great lengths to make colors pop, how could you dislike what they did?

I owned MBP M1 Max this summer. I already have an MBP M1 and the monitor that I've been working with for several years without any issues. But I was offered to purchase a used MBP M1 Max 2 / 64 at a good price, so I did. When I connected it to my monitor, I couldn't work. Stillcolor disabled dithering, but there was something else in the signal. Reflashing the Mac in DFU mode to different versions of Sonoma and Ventura didn't help. I ended up reselling it.

It's hard to say if anything can be done without analyzing the video signal from such devices. Since temporal dithering should be turned off via Stillcolor (here I'm talking about an external monitor without FRC), I don't know what else might be in the signal of such problematic Macs.

WhisperingWind So you generally say pretty much the same model had different effect. This sounds like GPU or some faulty components issue. I am really getting tired of this crap - silence from apple, fan boys are all jacked up, and then the rest of us who actually do real work on these machines.
