Dual 49" Samsung Odyssey - Purple Tint

Dual 49" Samsung Odyssey - Purple Tint

Yesterday, I purchased a Mac Studio with the M2 Max chip and was told at the Apple Store it would be more than adequate to run dual 49' monitors. However, the second display has the same purple tint my 2016 MacBook Pro did when using this setup via a docking station. I was told the Macbook pro wasn't powerful enough to drive the dual 49" monitors, so I just lived with it for the last year. Well, when I upgraded to the Studio, I specifically asked if it was sufficient and was assured it was more than capable.

Well after over an hour with 2nd level tech support, I was told to call Samsung for advice or drivers that might solve the problem. Unfortunately, I've ran into a wall and no-one can direct me. I see many other people with this same issues, but no solutions. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance!

Do not go thru a Dock or Docking station and replace the cheap inferior Samsung supplied cables.

Connect both directly to the Mac Studio with short 1m High Speed 8K USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cables.

Or... if you must, only use HDMI, use 2 short 1M High Speed USB-C to HDMI 2.0 cables.
