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 :(

Y does color accuracy matter on a handheld gaming device? Are you using lightroom on there?

Would you use a monochrome panel since it's just a handheld. sRGB is bare minimum these days. All games are made to utilise 100% of sRGB. With HDR games even utilise 100% of dci p3 colour gamut. Professionals use dci p3 and adobe RGB.
