So, there’s a switch near the bottom of display settings that says “Use Native Color Temperature”. When trying to search this specific switch, I can barely find anything about it online, only a couple mentions asking what it is, or just nothing of substance.
What I want to know, what was it set to by default, and why exactly is it changing it to?
This is confusing considering that the new update has a color temperature slider, so why is there two overlapping settings now?
For color temperature, set that according to the viewing conditions you’re in… the brighter and more well lit, the higher # is better… the darker and dimmer, the lower # is better. It controls the warmth of the whites.
For the other slider, color vibrance, depends if lcd or oled. For OLED, SRGB is the better setting. “Native” is too oversaturated, it’s the same as an oled phone’s “vivid” mode. If you like, you can give it a little bit of a boost, but you shouldn’t need to. For LCD, native is the srgb gamut compressed into the little space that the panel can handle… it will look on the paler side but the plot points are evenly spaced… and moving the slider toward boosted increases the saturation at the expense of some accuracy. Native, srgb or a little bit past srgb are all fine, but not the far end which is too saturated.
Its probably there for people who use external monitors so when you dock it you can just toggle that and itll make it so it doesnt look like an acid trip on the external monitor.
Was wandering it too, tried to switch the slider on but did not notice any diference though.
If you enable it, using the color temp slider does nothing. That’s it. That’s the entire feature.
