Color Saturation
Hi All, I am really happy with the device so far. However, color saturation seams dull and flat. I am sure the screen is capable of delivering more color as Metro Exodus photo mode allows color saturation adjustment. Is there anyway to tweak this in desk top mode?

i dont think it is but lowering or upping the brightness might help show morecolors

it might also be that its dull in the area that youre currently in as the game changes enviroments quite often, it can also be that its fall or winter time at that spot in the game which makes it look a bit more dull:steamsad:

maybe this can allow you improve the visual appearance, but it can cost performance, so if you try it, you should probably reduce graphic quality first.

it can be used with reshadefx, so im guessing it should be able to affect color saturation too

Thanks for the reply. I still hope they'll add an option down the road.

Hmm I got too much saturation on my external screen (TV).
A common issue I guess

Colors on the Deck seems fine. Although it can only display about 70% of the sRGB colorspace and is pretty blueish (8000k). You can get some more saturation by using a 6500k color profile.
This guy on Reddit uses Reshade for this. Too bad we can't just use an ICC profile or use the system settings like with AMD adrenaline.

But you are sure that you current display is set correctly?

I'm using the beta stable channel release. In it if you go to settings/display you will find an advanced view button, click it and you can adjust saturation & hue.

That's for night mode.

Can't compare that
