Sometimes I’ll open desktop mode on my Steam Deck LCD to watch stuff and the colors are great and vibrant like in gaming mode after the 3.5 update. But most other times I’ll open it and everything looks dull and washed out again. Does anyone know how this is happening? There aren’t any new “adjust color” settings in desktop mode from what I can find. Could the color boost I’m sometimes getting after opening desktop mode just be a glitch? Sure hope not… because it looks great.
I was able to make things a bit better last night by lowering the gamma in display settings from 1.00 to 0.70 or 0.80.
Could be a dumb hdmi implementation. Spec says hdmi is limited range 16-235 levels while the rest are pc range 0-255. If your monitor has it, try using displayport instead.
