[FIXED]How do I adjust the screen color while streaming from PC? (lemmy.one)

I’m playing Station to Station, Cyberpunk, and Miles Morales currently. I’ve noticed when I stream from my main rig to the Deck the colors are drastically different from both what the game looks like natively on the SD and my rig’s own monitor. I’m curious as to what gives, and how/where to fix it.

-PC has a RTX 3060, current WHQL drivers -Steam Deck OLED 512GB on Stable channel -Colors are tilted towards too much red, orange, and brown in all 3 games. But only while streaming, playing off the Deck natively it looks more…natural?

EDIT: Preview 3.5.8 contains a fix to the issue.

Fixed incorrect colors (gamma) when using Steam In-Home Streaming.

HDR probably doesn't work when streaming. Hence why it looks different to running natively.

Steaming in my experience significantly degrades colors. Idk if it drops to 4:2:0 or what, but it definitely doesn’t look as good as 4:4:4 that I have when directly connected. This may not be relevant to your situation, but it’s what came to mind reading your post.

Also, typically, you handle color calibration in the monitors settings, not the OS.

Yeah I was going to say, this "happens" to me for Monster Hunter and it's just the setting the TV takes. If it's too cool (blue) turn the TV warm. If it's too warm (reddish orange), turn the TV cool.

I think it's mostly irrelevant from streaming, at least in my case it's the same whether I stream from PC to Steam Link on TV or if I connect my Deck via dock to the TV.

Does your display not have picture adjustment controls?

[–] Ecksell@lemmy.one 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

PC has tons of course. SD has a few, but they only apply when playing native, not streaming.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm talking about the display, not the device you're connecting to it.

Monitor is an Acer ED323QUR.
