SUMMARY

After updating to the 5.24 Beta (5.23.90), my external monitor (HDMI) has major graphical issues. The colors look inverted and the lines are not sharp anymore. See the  attached picture. In a screenshot it looks normal. Happens only in the wayland session, X11 works perfectly fine. I tried all the color correction profiles that are now in the system settings, i were able to see a difference, but none of them fixed the problem.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update your Arch system with the kde-unstable repositories to the latest version (Frameworks 5.90, Plasma 5.23.90)
2. Connect an external Monitor via HDMI
3. Look at it

OBSERVED RESULT

Monitor has graphical glitches

EXPECTED RESULT

Monitor looks fine

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Linus Dierheimer 2022-01-13 18:00:01 UTC
Tested it with Display Port, same problem. So not a HDMI fault but wayland in general.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2022-01-13 21:43:20 UTC
Are you by any chance using an Intel Tiger lake series CPU and iGPU?
Comment 3 Linus Dierheimer 2022-01-13 21:47:32 UTC
No, Ryzen 7 4800H with an Radeon RX5600M graphics card (Dell G5 SE Laptop).
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2022-01-13 23:45:29 UTC
OK, thanks.
Comment 5 Zamundaaa 2022-01-14 00:00:26 UTC
You can try disabling deep color with the environment variable KWIN_DRM_PREFER_COLOR_DEPTH=24, maybe amdgpu has some issue with it.
Please also attach the output of drm_info (with default color depth)

Comment 9 Linus Dierheimer 2022-01-14 00:14:36 UTC
KWIN_DRM_PREFER_COLOR_DEPTH=24 did indeed fix the bug. Thank you very much! I added the requested drm_info outputs, if you need more info, feel free to ask.
