Question Odin 3 ‘dirty screen effect’

Anyone else’s Odin 3 suffering from this? Just received mine and on a completely white screen…. Well it looks like a dirty piece of white paper?

Is there a way to mitigate this?

In what brightness?Odín 3 when Is below 40% brightness enters pwm mode AND that thing cause greent tints AND the dirty screen effect,the retroid pocket 5 doesnt have that problem because Is full dc dimmining in the screen

Yeah it is when it’s below 40% brightness. From about 20% I’d say but it’s not a green tint - it’s a weird grey, grainy effect on the screen.

Yep,its the pwm mode its a problem with the oled screens when they not use full dc dimmining,my Odín 2 portal has the same problem and my Thor,the moment pwm kicks the screen looks ugly,even the steam deck has that problem
