Hey all, just picked up a 2018 15" MacBook Pro (base configuration) and set it up with my existing 34" UltraWide 3440x1440 Asus PG348Q monitor. Mojave 10.14.3
Problem is font is blurry and I'm going nuts spending a lot of time troubleshooting this...
Appreciate any ideas and here is what I've tried so far:
1. Connected via usb c to DisplayPort cable, this one: USB C to DisplayPort Cable (4K@60Hz), uni Thunderbolt 3 to DisplayPort Cable Compatible for MacBook Pro 2018/2017, iPad Pro/MacBook Air 2018, XPS 15, Surface Book 2 and More-Gray, 6FT/1.8m(Not HDMI
2. Ensured that resolution is set to 3440x1440, refresh rate=100hz, and using monitor profile, and calibrated profile.
3. Set monitor's OSD settings to different presets, including sRGB mode which change clarity as much. Mostly color.
3. Ensured font smoothing is on via Sys Preferences -> General.
4. Turned on font anti-aliasing set with a strength of 2 (default) since supposedly Mojave turned it off, and restarted MacBook.

[doublepost=1549133378][/doublepost]Also I've found this git Ruby script that forces the MacBook to output RGB (in case it thinks my monitor is a TV and is outputting YCbCr), but I don't want to run it without knowing how to revert it completely if it doesn't work:
