How to Fix Washed out Colors on Mac?

Hello,

I realize this question has been asked before but can't find a clear answer anywhere. I recently switched to OBS on a Mac and my exported recordings look washed out and too white.

The files play normally in players like VLC but look washed out in Quicktime and internet browsers on my Mac.

My primary use for OBS is recording live streams of sports games for a university team and cutting highlights. Because this is my job, I'd love to have the most accurate colors possible.

If any Mac user has found a solution that works for them, sharing it here would be much appreciated!

Attached are my OBS color settings, plus a screenshot of a QuickTime screen recording + OBS screen recording of the same stream. I use a Mac Mini with LG Ultrafine 4K monitors.
