Sometimes I’ll open desktop mode on my Steam Deck LCD to watch stuff and the colors are great and vibrant like in gaming mode after the 3.5 update. But most other times I’ll open it and everything looks dull and washed out again. Does anyone know how this is happening? There aren’t any new “adjust color” settings in desktop mode from what I can find. Could the color boost I’m sometimes getting after opening desktop mode just be a glitch? Sure hope not… because it looks great.
I’ve noticed this too, compared to my Windows PC which has great color and gamma for videos, the steamos desktop mode for videos looks dull or washed out a bit… I think it’s a gamma issue, and unfortunately they didn’t bundle in the color management panel into steamos, which means we can’t fix it with a color profile.
I haven’t done it yet, but I’d be interested to see if booting into a different OS or distro would have the same or different colors.
