I have never used an HDR display before so I’m not sure how it’s supposed to look.

I have been playing Spider-man both with and without HDR and unless I’m staring right into the sun there is literally no difference. I have always heard people talk about HDR as something incredible but I’m honestly disappointed.

I also played Tetris effect: connected and HDR seemed to just make all the menus darker, but the rest looked the same.

Have I done something wrong or is this how it is supposed to be?

    The screen on the steam deck isn’t HDR. You can only get HDR from the Steam Deck OLED if you output the display to an HDR display.

        OP hadn’t specified that they have an OLED model when I posted this.

        Generally if you’re switching HDR on and off and it’s not making any difference, you don’t have an HDR display.

          You wrote that though, which is wrong:
