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?

    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.

      And I don’t know why you expect Valve to “abandon” the LCD deck. First of all, they are still selling it. And second, they made the OLED compatible with the LCD, so that both can be supported simultaneously.

      Also it’s an emerging platform so it’s in their best interests to not ‘abandon’ the early adopters. Valve has a winner on their hands with the Deck and I can’t wait for the next gen model in a few years.
