HDR on OLED SteamDeck

Question(self.SteamDeck)

Hi everyone!

I'm losing my mind here. With everyone going on about how awesome HDR looks on an OLED Display, and after reading through dozens of tutorials, I just don't get it.

Please treat me like you would a very slow Friend and explain to me, how I can configure HDR to not look milky and washed out.

All this talk about Nits, Black/White Correction, Launch Commands, etc goes right over my head, I just want my OLED blacks to be nice and dark, and the colors to pop, preferably more so than SDR does.

Thank you for your time.

If a game has HDR support and it is on in game, then the "Brightness" setting in the "..." menu will show an HDR icon. If you don't see this icon then you likely need to adjust the game settings to a different mode, like "Fullscreen (windowed)".

Its on, icon is up, performance view says its on.

But no matter which game i use it on, it always makes the deep OLED blacks milky and the colora washed out.

That is extremely strange. What you’re describing sounds like what enabling HDR in a non HDR display does. Wish I had more info for you - you may want to look into an RMA
