Nvidia Shield vs Chromecast with Google TV (Washed out colors)

by NesqHD

Hello, I have Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 and I really like it but there's a problem.

The color of the Nvidia looks washed out / dull compared to my Samsung Q8fn TV and yes I have enabled Match content color space.

I want to switch from Nvidia to Chromecast with Google TV can anyone who has it tell me if the colors looks better on Chromecast or it's the same?

Thank you.

My 2017 looks great on my LG CX, much better than the Web OS apps. The only reason I use them is DV which of course the 2017 lacks. Have you tune your TV, are you talking about SD or HDR being washed?

Do you have the Shield on a different TV input, with possibly different picture settings?

Is the Shield connected to the TV with the same type/brand of HDMI cable (if different input)?

Have you tried changing the color standard under Shield advanced display settings?

I have zero issues with my Q8F and my shield.

Is your current resolution using the rec. 2020 color space? Have you tried a resolution that is 709 to see if that corrects the colors as a baseline for troubleshooting?

I think I fix it thank you so much guys :D

It was a option from TV "Colour Space Settings" has to be on native not on auto.

Now Shield TV content look's the same as the Samsung TV, except the android home menu which look a little washed out compared to the Samsung.
