Description

Here's my feedback... Switched to Steam OS 3.9.0 on my PC with AMD cpu / igpu, with HDMI connection. Its default theme or appearance is too dark for my Sony HDTV, which is OLED type. Same issue when switching to desktop mode. In Steam (game mode screen), I tried to turn up the brightness but it looks even worse-- ended up with more monochromatic look.

My HDTV looks much better with Steam OS on either 3.8.x Beta or 3.7.x Stable version. Has proper colors and contrasts in their places.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the display problem on SteamOS 3.9.0 with AMD graphics over HDMI on a Sony OLED HDTV, testing both game mode and desktop mode. Compare the colors and contrast with SteamOS 3.8.x Beta or 3.7.x Stable; done means identifying a reproducible regression and its affected display settings or component.
