Color looks too bright and lost details

[GOGOsu]

• [x] I have read the FAQ.
• [x] I have searched in existing issues.

Environment

• OS: Windows 10 22H2
• scrcpy version: 2.1.1
• installation method: Windows x64 zip from releases
• device model: Xiaomi Redmi 12 Turbo
• Android version: 13

Describe the bug As description. When I use scrcpy the screen is too white and lost details. I tried using with -m 800 or --render-driver=software or without them, but nothing helps.

Terminal outputs seems normal:

C:\Users\GOGOsu\Downloads\scrcpy-win64-v2.1.1> ./scrcpy --render-driver=software
scrcpy 2.1.1 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>

The following screenshot shows the difference between scrcpy and adb exec-out screencap:

How did you take the screenshot on the right?

How is the resulting image if you capture with:

adb exec-out screencap -p > file.png

?

What if you record with:

adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/file.mp4
adb pull /sdcard/file.mp4

?

Does it happen with all encoders?

And if you increase the bitrate (scrcpy -b20M)?

(don't use "software" rendering)

1. The right image is captured by adb shell screencap /sdcard/test.png; adb pull /sdcard/test.png
2. The adb exec-out screencap -p > file.png produce a correct-looking file like the above command.
3. The screenrecord looks too white, like in issue.
4. With some encoders, see below.
5. Increase the bitrate do not help.

Encoders returned by scrcpy --list-encoders:

[server] INFO: List of video encoders:
    --video-codec=h264 --video-encoder='c2.qti.avc.encoder'
    --video-codec=h264 --video-encoder='OMX.qcom.video.encoder.avc'
    --video-codec=h264 --video-encoder='c2.android.avc.encoder'
    --video-codec=h264 --video-encoder='OMX.google.h264.encoder'
    --video-codec=h265 --video-encoder='c2.qti.hevc.encoder'
    --video-codec=h265 --video-encoder='OMX.qcom.video.encoder.hevc'
    --video-codec=h265 --video-encoder='c2.qti.hevc.encoder.cq'
    --video-codec=h265 --video-encoder='OMX.qcom.video.encoder.hevc.cq'

    --audio-codec=aac --audio-encoder='OMX.google.aac.encoder'

All video encoder containing qti or qcom will produce abnormal color, but the video is smooth. The remaining 3 encoder (c2.android.avc.encoder, OMX.google.h264.encoder, c2.android.hevc.encoder) produce correct color, but with significant lag & jelly-like scrolling (even if -b20M / -b40M)

English is not my native language, sorry for any inconvenience.

The screenrecord looks too white, like in issue.

Ok, this is a capture issue on your device then.

You could check if you have some "color enhancement" applied in your device settings that might confuse the capture.

Thank you for your reply! I will try later and update the thread when I get some usable information.

I have the same problem, have you solved it?

Sadly, no. I tried everything in my phone's color settings, but no luck.
