* That "lime green" problem is something we noticed a year or two ago.
Some people had lime green and others (me!) just had washed out colours,
specifically only in Chrome and some image viewers (sound familiar?).
The fix for everyone was to delete and disable the default colour
profile in Settings. So maybe that's all you're missing... Remove it.

* The resolution "4K" or "1080p" is irrelevant here. What is more
relevant is that it's a TV connected via HDMI. And TVs connected via
HDMI are subject to the HDMI spec which says:

  "While using RGB, Limited Range shall be used for all video formats
   defined in CEA-861-D, with the exception of VGA (640x480) format,
   which requires Full Range."

But what I hadn't told you yet is that despite it being in the standard,
not all manufacturers honour it. Because dishonoring it like a proper
monitor yields better image quality, and that's likely what HDMI
monitors (not TVs) will do by default already. But your monitor and TV's
default settings might be the other way round. Regardless, please check
the HDMI RGB range (or "Black Level") settings in BOTH your Nvidia
driver and in the TV and monitor own menus. To get a correct picture
they need to be the same in both the graphics driver settings and in the
TV's own settings menus. I can't give you any more specific instructions
because it's different for every model of display :(
