5700 XT LG Monitor - Text Rendering (4:2:2 vs 4:4:4)

I'm having issues displaying text clearly in Windows 10.  Pixels have a "rainbow" effect on text when using Full RGB 4:4:4 at native resolution at 144hz.  However, when I select YCbCr 4:2:2 at same resolution and refresh rate, the pixels are clear in Windows (see pictures).

My understanding is that 4:4:4 ensures there is no chroma-sub sampling and should improve text, but its having the opposite effect!  Is the AMD driver working correctly?

System

AMD 3700X CPU

AMD 5700 XT GPU

LG 34GN850-B Monitor

DisplayPort 1.4

Latest AMD chipset and GPU driver downloaded

Troubleshooting

Here is what I've tried so far:

  1. Installed latest AMD 5700 XT drivers

  2. Replaced DisplayPort cable with certified 1.4

  3. Changed refresh rate (currently on 144hz at 10 bit color and RGB Full 4:4:4)

  4. Reformatted windows 10

  5. Adjusted clear type and scaling (set to 100% at native resolution)

  6. Tried alternate GPU DisplayPort inputs

Please help AMD!
