Samsung confirms that there will be no fix for the Galaxy S24 Ultra's vivid display mode issue, stating that changes have been made to the display technology to provide a more natural viewing experience. Users have reported that the vivid mode appears washed out compared to older models, and a Samsung chat representative had previously suggested that the issue would be fixed with a software update, which is now debunked. It remains unclear whether the representative was misinformed or if Samsung has changed its stance on addressing the issue.
Samsung reportedly intended for the Galaxy S24's vivid display mode to be less colorful and has no plans to change it, despite user complaints and a previous screenshot of a conversation with a Samsung Support agent suggesting otherwise. Samsung Spain stated that the current display behavior is an intentional color adjustment and not a product defect, indicating that the company may not make any modifications to the vivid display mode. While the Galaxy S24 series' displays excel in brightness, contrast, and color accuracy, users who prefer the accentuated vivid colors of older models may be disappointed.
The latest Wine Wayland driver patches focus on implementing display mode change emulation, crucial for running Windows games on Wine under Wayland full-screen at a lower resolution. The patches use existing compositor side surface scaling to emulate display mode changes, as Wayland doesn't allow clients to change the actual display configuration. The goal is to achieve solid native Wayland support by the time Wine 10.0 is released next January.
