Since the screen will be getting a massive quality improvement will you be getting the 512gb glossy or 1tb Anti-glare etched glass? I previously went with the etched glass LCD and I’m now thinking of upgrading to the glossy oled for full screen clarity.
Also since the nits are higher with the oled model (1000 hdr), glare should be less of an issue when I do use it outside my home.
Wasn’t expecting such a drastic difference tbh.
Well, in my particular case (aka MY OPINION, for my needs, i’m not claiming to spit the universal truth), I need the etched glass display.
I’m spending half my job’s travelling Europe, can’t really control ambient light in a plane or train…) so… thanks, I don’t want to upgrade to Oled anymore!
To be clear, you’re still to perceive the vast majority of OLED benefits with that etched (semi-matte) layer atop the panel. It’s not as though the color vibrancy and absolute contrast are entirely lost once you go etched. The only downside will be that, during travels where you have strong overhead lighting, it’ll wash out some aspects of OLED. With that said, once you’re indoors and, ideally, in not-so-absolutely-bright ambient lighting, OLED will really come to life.
I never hear anyone mention the HUGE positive of the etched screen that it doesn’t scratch. My steamdeck original etched screen doesn’t have one single scratch on it despite a ton of use. Thats IMPOSSIBLE with any glossy screen.
