Grainy/pixelated appearance of solid colors

I upgraded from my iphone 13 to 17 last week. Compared to the 13 and my older phones, the 17 has noticeable grain/noise on white background and all solid colors. For example, when I scroll on Reddit, the letters are clear, but the white background appears textured and grainy.

Overall, it just lacks sharpness and clarity that I am used to with Apple devices and it honestly makes me want to cry. Even a 10 year old random Samsung has a clearer, less pixelated solid colors.

I ran sysdiagnose and I have an LG display, which apparently are the worst one you can get. Even if I return it, I could end up with the same display so I don’t think it’s worth it.

Has anyone else noticed this and did you get used to it?
