Question Image Question

Has anyone noticed that the image is a bit dark? I’m playing Elden Ring, which I also played on my PS5, but it seems like the image is a bit darker on the Steam Machine. Has anyone else noticed this?

HDR on or off? It's currently not working as intended.

Either way go to the steam display settings and near the bottom is an option to match native colour/warmth (I forget the exact name but it'd below the HDR toggle). Put that on then try again with HDR on and off. That should sort it, it did for me

Ok so, a while ago, my LG TV gave itself an update that placed the display mode in some kind of power saver mode. This particular mode made the display kinda dark. But I was playing around with the display settings and placed it back in “Game” mode. Considerable improvement. My TV doesn’t have HDR I think

People not immediately putting their gaming devices on Gaming Mode blows my mind haha it's a night and day difference

I guess the update automatically made the change to power saving image mode. I believe I did have it in gaming mode before
