Macbook Air M1 gives only YPbPr colours to external monitor!

I am using a Macbook Air M1 connecting it through USB-c with the Dell U2721DE monitor and I am getting a YPBPR colour profile. When I am manually changing it, from the monitor's menu, to RGB the colours get a violet tint. It is really frustrating to purchase two top of the line products that are not working properly. The image quality is significantly lower in comparison to when I connect the monitor to a Windows device. The texts are blurry and the colours are off.


Please let me know if there are any workarounds until Apple finally solves this major problem.


Thanks!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2
