I just updated to 3.5.5 recently, and I noticed a big difference from the screen quality. I’m not sure what exactly.

I know that they added Display Colors adjustment, but I didn’t expect that it made the screen look better in my opinion.

Sadly I don’t have any comparison images from the old updates. In my eyes, it just look more vibrant and more contrast. A lot better than the VibrantDeck plugin.

I find this really interesting, since I thought that the LCD Deck will just “abandoned” and disregarded by people or by Valve. Obviously, OLED will always looks better, but this update also affected LCD version in a good way.

Any thoughts about this?

    Right? I was playing Fallout 3 and noticed that the colors looked a bit better. The reds on a street cone had a bit more like to it. I thought it I was making it up.

    It certainly improved however, it is default very yellowish. I went to the settings last night and changed the options to actually get a better display. If I am not wrong, I pulled the first option all the way to left and the second one to all the way to right but you guys can go and experiment.

    Gotta say I think the vibrant deck plugin aloud the colors to be pushed way further on the LCD than their new color srgb sliders in the 3.5 update. colors don’t pop like that plugin let them. Shit felt like the OLED was already in my hands but now 3.5 borked the vibrantdeck plugin. Wonder why 🤔 hopefully that wasn’t a low-key tactic to get us to but OLED if we already have an LCD SD

    Hmmmm, interesting to hear, I must fiddle with the settings then when I get a chance.

    My biggest gripe with the Deck is how dull and flat the screen imagery is, I was quite bleak that the OLED came out so soon, would have preferred to wait if I knew it was coming but the fact they repeatedly said there were no immediate plans to upgrade the device, I thought that was it, I got quite interested when that screen upgrade came out but was not interested in the installation process, hopefully this update improves things for my old man eyes…

    Yes. Vibrant Deck was a huge improvement over stock, and the built-in color adjustment in 3.5.5 looks significantly better than that did. In fact it looks so much better that comparing a brightly lit SDR game between LCD with 3.5.5 and saturation turned up and OLED, the difference is not as striking as you might expect.

    I play mine docked the majority of the time. Maybe I should check our the small screen prior to ordering the OLED…
