Washed out colors, intel graphics [SOLVED]
I've setup a small living room system (8600k, 16gb ram, no GPU) connected on Samsung 50" TV and streaming from another computer in another room (5700k, 32gb ram, 1080ti). Everything works great it even streams 4k resolution from the main computer and shows a nice image on TV attached computer but colors are a bit washed out. I was some solutions for AMD and nvidia cards but on Intel graphics from CPU there is no that option to turn on use video card color settings or how was it... The only thing so far that worked was to add a bit of color correction and ramp up saturation but I was wondering if there is any other better solution that would give same colors down on streamed to machine and TV? Thank you!

Most probably this is depending on your TV´s settings.

Try disabling hardware decoding from Steam in-home streaming Client options

tv colors are all great everything looks fine only when streaming starts colors are washed out.
will try hardware decoding but wont that afect performance as well?

disabling hw decoding works great. and still everything runs perfectly fine. perfect. thank you!

How can this possibly be marked as "solved?" Hardware decoding is pretty important with integrated graphics, etc.

solved becase I turn it off, colors are fine and performance is still perfectly fine :)

for me, turning off HW decoding makes the image frozen ... when I alt+tab and go back, the image refreshes one frame but is frozen again ... my colors are fine, only blacks are more or less yellow-ish

Disabling the hardware decoding is a workaround which works on an Intel HD Graphics 5000 (Mac mini under Windows 10)... No perfs issues... Not really a fix :(

Sup, I ran into the same issue and I think I have a better solution. Go to the intel graphics control panel. It doesn't start up with the pc or anything at least on my setup. So go to start or whatever it's called now and type in intel in the search bar and it should show up. Anyway go to video and then change the color range to limited. Then it will look better still not perfect like with the software decoder, but much better latency.

I stream from rtx3080 to intel integrated laptop graphics and got the best color by leaving hardware decoding enabled in steam remote play client and setting intel graphics to full range rather than limited range in the intel graphics app on the laptop

Chances Are These Problems Are Linked To HDR On The Computers Side...
Not The TV Side


Computers Require A Higher Grade Level Of HDR Then TV's Do...

Vizio Is A Good Example:

V Series
M Series
P Series
Q Series
O Series

All 5 TV's Support 4K HDR For TV,
But For Computers, V Series Is Too
Weak To Display HDR...

M Series Does, But It Presents A Washed Out Picture,
I Am Willing To Bet P, Q, & O Series Does A Better Job,
& Doesn't Wash Out Colors On The Computer, Because
They Are Higher Quality TV's...

My Solution Was??

Adding 4K HDR, When The TV Gets Washed Out,
I Re-Apply Color Back To The TV's, By Adjusting
The Color Scales On The Computers Themselves,
Through AMD / NVidea, Using Settings Like RGB
Adjustments While The HDR Is Still Active...

Intel Doesn't Have Any Way To Do This,
As I Have Looked Forever For A Fix For My Setup,
& Haven't Found Any Answers Yet For
Displays With HDMI To USB That Doesn't Use
AMD / NVidea Control Pannels For Picure Adjustments...

This Doesn't Even Account For Use Of STEAM Link,
Which Can Also Effect Picture Quality, Causing It
To Even Further Degrade The Picture, As Well, Too

I was having this issue, and you are right. I have windows auto hdr on. When I lowered the SDR to HDR effect the colors became better on my TV
