Just got my OLED model today and have been playing around with it. I don’t know if anyone else is suffering the same issue but colours when using Steam remote play to stream from my PC are waaaaaay off for some reason.
Across several games everything is just way too dark and over-saturated. And weirdly this does NOT occur when streaming the same games using Moonlight instead, or playing the game natively on the steam deck with both HDR enabled and disabled.
Here are some comparison photographs using the cyberpunk main menu:

- Stream via Moonlight - https://i.imgur.com/7a2fOMn.jpg
- Steam remote play. - https://i.imgur.com/q3VZZzA.jpg
The difference between native HDR off and Moonlight look the most alike - which would make sense because both are running the game with HDR off.
Some additional information:
-
I have an HDR capable monitor but it’s not true HDR so I generally leave it turned off.
-
This happens with HDR switched on on the host PC, as well. Enabling HDR on the host PC and using steam remote play results in a completely blown-out image which is impossible to use

Looks like that in the chain something does use hdr but not the client.
Very odd that this issue has persisted this long. This has been happening with remote play since the first betas of 3.5, very annoying. only workaround is by going into desktop mode. it either has to do with the HDR pipeline being maybe tested with remote play poorly and never got fixed, or it’s because of the new calibration for the LCD.
Thanks for this detailed reply mate!
Where do you go to disable hardware decoding? TIA
