I can't see why HDR contrast would be a bad thing for a handheld aside from the battery issues but luminosity doesn't need to be the focus, HDR is so much more than that. I suppose as long as they have an OLED screen, that'll do the same job. |
I tested the animated main menu of Ori 2 on my Steam Deck OLED with various settings. HDR off, (1280x800, 60 fps/Hz, graphics: high, no dynamic resolution): - minimal display brightness: 11.9 watts (looks better than HDR on with minimal brightness)
- half display brightness: 12.1 watts
- full display brightness: 12.4 watts (up to 600 nits)
HDR on, (1280x800, 60 fps/Hz, graphics: high, no dynamic resolution): - minimal display brightness: 12.5 watts
- half display brightness: 12.7 watts (looks much better than HDR off with full brightness)
- full display brightness: 13.3 watts (up to 1000 nits)
HDR off, (1280x800, 90 fps/Hz, graphics: high, no dynamic resolution): - minimal display brightness: 17.5 watts (looks better than HDR on with minimal brightness)
- half display brightness: 17.7 watts
- full display brightness: 18.0 watts (up to 600 nits)
HDR on, (1280x800, 90 fps/Hz, graphics: high, no dynamic resolution): - minimal display brightness: 20.1 watts
- half display brightness: 20.3 watts (looks much better than HDR off with full brightness)
- full display brightness: 20.8 watts (up to 1000 nits)
HDR off, (1280x800, 45 fps / 90 Hz, graphics: high, no dynamic resolution): - minimal display brightness: 10.0 watts (looks better than HDR on with minimal brightness)
- half display brightness: 10.1 watts
- full display brightness: 10.5 watts (up to 600 nits)
HDR on, (1280x800, 45 fps / 90 Hz, graphics: high, no dynamic resolution): - minimal display brightness: 10.5 watts
- half display brightness: 10.7 watts (looks much better than HDR off with full brightness)
- full display brightness: 11.2 watts (up to 1000 nits)
So in the 10 - 13 watts tests, HDR only adds 0.5 - 0.9 watts, depending on the display brightness.
In the results of 17 watts and above, HDR adds 2.6 - 2.8 watts... that probably includes the higher fan speed for cooling.
