Yes, its basically a saturation slider, but we all know other companies would go “improve the screen through software? Are you nuts? We’re about to launch an OLED model!”
This is a nonsensical take. They didn’t do anything. The SteamOS version in question isn’t actually released. And likely will be in tandem with the OLED release anyhow.
Also, Valve is in the software business before they are in the hardware business. Their aim is to sell games. The hardware just facilitates that. They don’t care if you buy a new one or old one. Or even a not-valve one. Steam is their money maker.
Not doing anything would be leaving the original screen alone. They literally made it better. Fair, the update isn’t live, but I’ve used it on the beta branch for months. But they literally did something. It’s honestly nonsensical to say they did nothing. Crazy how people will complain about both a software and a hardware answer to a common problem.
