I use an LG 4K TV as a monitor...something about the darker half of the standard 16 terminal colors is incredibly hard to read on this panel. Irritating for screen sharing with people who use default putty settings, small size courier new, default colors. Ugh. Savages.

If it's an older panel check to make sure it's not chroma subsampling the red channel. I had one where I had to change settings to keep any text with red from being a muddy mess.

  Switching to straight HDMI instead of USB-C to HDMI fixed it!

  Wow! Subsampling red is unbelievably stupid. You usually get away with blue, but subsampling red or green is immediately visible.

    Subsampling red is about as common as blue. Digital video, digital cameras, PenTile displays… the only full resolution you're getting is green, because that's the most effective way to get luminance. They mostly don't even use good resampling algorithms either.

      Sorry. I'm shortsighted and, I guess, it gives me the superpower of being able to focus red. OTOH, blue/violet is just a blur.

I'm visually impaired, so if I were to screen-share my PuTTY window, you'd be treated to 22-point bold Consolas and mostly white on black. This points out, though, that for accessibility, frame-buffer sharing is really not ideal. What we really need is some kind of high-level content sharing, where the content is re-rendered on the viewer's machine with their settings.

  I've never figured out how to use it (never had the need) but I've heard GNU 'screen' is capable of sharing the same terminal window to multiple people. Since it runs in the terminal, it would be rendered to each viewer using their own terminal emulator settings.
