The new steamdeck oled has a peak brightness of 1000nits so I’m pretty sure its real HDR, and in the games I’ve tried it does look nice.
Comment on Am I doing HDR wrong?

Aren’t there different “levels” of HDR? Most cheap TV’s only support HDR10 which basically does nothing. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the only quality the Steamdeck supports too. I haven’t checked the specs though.

That’s not what HDR10 means at all, it’s just a different data encoding standard. Like Blu rays vs HDDVDs. A properly encoded HDR10 looks just as bright/dark in a proper monitor

Huh, you’re right. I just looked it up. I was under the impression that there is also an HDR100 and 200 and so on. Thanks for pointing it out!
