Disabling Use thin strokes for anti-aliased text has helped.

Most folks use the less expensive passive adapters and macOS kexts (drivers) tend to be much less tolerant of the idiosyncrasies (like clock sync) than Windows drivers when going from DisplayPort to HDMI. The active adapter ensures a pure HDMI signal. | |
