109HZ seems to be the spot where the colors/gamma dont get shot up. Anything past that it gets brighter and you lose color.
Speaking of my external LCD monitor, it’s an old one now. What I have observed about it is that even though it will accept and display higher refresh rates, it is actually dropping frames.
Not saying that is happening here, but further testing is required to confirm that frames are not being dropped.
In the case of embedded displays rather than external, dropping happens to be quite rare due to having increased directness of control of a panel. I have already confirmed that no dropping occurs on either my BOE OLED or LCD decks, but no clue about SDC OLED decks.
In external displays, there can be additional processing happening between receiving a signal and displaying an image, that would be where frame dropping most commonly occurs.
I was trying to find this yesterday. 😅. I hope i remember tonight
I’m going to be real salty if it turns out that only the BOE panel on the LE deck is the one that can do 120hz, which of course sold out officially this morning…
I do not have a deck with a Samsung panel currently so unfortunately I can not perform manual timing tuning like I was able to do with a BOE panel deck (which was quite annoying to get given they only shipped LE ones to US&Canada, luckily I had access to an old secondary steam account and could order from that, got kinda worried with shipping but despite the box being a bit wet given it was left out in the rain briefly, everything turned out okay)
If I do end up receiving enough donations to buy a second OLED deck than I intend on ordering one so that I can hand-tune Samsung panel timings. Without one though, it looks like SDC decks will be limited to ~98hz for now.
I will likely update my code to handle SDC and BOE decks separately to avoid enabling modes SDC decks can not function at.
Can you please post the uninstall script? You mentioned you posted it here but can’t find it anywhere
is 70hz on the LCD noticeable? or waste of battery?
Depends. If you’re playing a FPS and can do higher than 60 fps as a minimum rate in the game, then running at 70 Hz could give you 10 extra fps.
For a visual novel, a waste.
I think the most notable change is being able to set a 35fps limit on 70hz refresh rate on games that you cannot quite sustain 40.
that is a pretty good feature I didn’t realize that
Been using this for a few hours now; 109hz seems like the sweet spot. In the future is it possible to correct the colors with the 120hz mode or is that just a negative side effect of pushing the panel past 90hz.
Colour correction should be semi-possible but darker colours will have lower fidelity / heavy banding
Have you tested with HDR yet? I do not know whether running over 90hz will work when HDR content is displayed or not and I do not know if any games I have support HDR.
HDR works in cyberpunk and diablo4

All of a sudden people now clamor BOE as the superior panel, lmao
All because a few highly upvoted posts had dead pixels lmao.
Sometimes I think some of you don’t even play games on the Deck.
Yall gonna break ya shit
Just out of curiosity long as you don’t push frame limiter up it won’t push monitor harder yeah?
Looking forward to anything VRR related would be absolutely huge if its possible
I did change how 90Hz mode works slightly [I manually tuned all 80 modes from 40hz to 120Hz] so using this will push BOE OLED panel controllers slightly more at 90hz than stock would, but it should still be well within expected panel tolerances. I would not expect any harm to come from that.
Modes that will drive BOE panels at rates higher than stock: 46-48, 50, 53-54, 58, 60-63, 65-64, 68-69, 75-79, 82-83, 86, 89-120
All other modes will drive BOE panels at rates lower than stock.
For SDC, all modes from 45 through 90 will drive panel at stock rate, for 40-44 they’ll be lower than stock, 91-120 will be higher than stock.
For LCD decks, only 61-70 would push panel harder, but there’s very little risk comparatively there, especially given many, including myself, have run LCD decks at 70hz for extended periods without issue.
