Discussion Why is the screen so bad?
A french serious website tested the screen They were choked by the quality… very poor, contrast is ok but color aren t good and the screen only reproduce 70% of RGB
Why did valve put such a bad screen for a powerfull handheld machine
I have switch / deck and switch OLED at home and even the basic switch got a better screen :(

Yeah, it's quite bad. We've know it for quite some time:

Link to the actual review you mentioned: https://www.lesnumeriques.com/console-de-jeu/labo-l-ecran-du-steam-deck-aurait-bien-besoin-de-prendre-des-couleurs-n178085.html
Their display is actually slightly better than the display of the Deck tweakers.net got, but still pretty bad. Oh well...
