Ask I correct that to get hdr, you need a game that supports it, the option enabled and a display that supports it? Also the oled deck display does not support it
The OLED Deck does have an HDR screen.
Oh, I didn't realize and I have one! Now I need to see it in action
Both spider-man and Tetris supports HDR. What do you mean the deck oled display does not support it? Isn't that the main thing it advertises?
They're wrong, the OLED Deck definitely has an HDR screen. Not sure why two users in this thread claim it doesn't.
Sorry I was wrong. I read that somewhere and repeated it, but now I'm corrected and admitting my mistake
I wonder if that means they need to do a better job with their advertising...? Then again, maybe they don't expect it to be a big selling point on its own.
To be fair though, the first sentence when you bring up the OLED Deck's product page right after "Introducing Steam Deck OLED" is "A high dynamic range screen, a longer-lasting battery, faster downloads, and much more". HDR is then mentioned like 5 more times on the product page, so I don't really get why people miss it.
I mean, I'm buying one in part because of that, but based on the fact that at least a few people are confused about it means it's reasonable to assume there's others missing out on this improvement.
