Same for glossy vs etched screen

Honestly, every single time I start the deck, I think gosh, that backlight bleed is really something…
And as usual as soon as I play I don’t care.
I don’t need/want and oled but there are much nicer ips out there, this one is borderline acceptable tbh. Can’t blame anyone for wanting to upgrade, personally I’d ve upgraded to a superb ips, no question.
Me enjoying the drama, when I don’t even have money to own either one.
Like the poster gets at…can we stop for a sec and appreciate just how awesome the discussion we get to have is of deciding between a decent/good screen or a REALLY good screen on our very reasonably priced handheld backlog machines. Absolutely awesome.
I love everything OLED, but I will probably wait till SD 2.
Why is it so bad to say for the people who bought a deck within the last year, they sort of got fucked over by the oled dropping with 3 major perks over the default base launch deck :/ feels like a slap on the face
Indeed, I’m thankful of not getting it then, but I also empathize with fellow players who did
My take on it is that it’s a great purchase if you don’t already own a steam deck. I don’t understand why everyone’s gotta yell at each other when we all love the same product.
I’m just happy a new version came out right as I’ve been preparing to jump into the handheld arena. I was holding off to see what kind of deals might be happening around Black Friday. For me the extra battery life is actually more of a selling point than anything.
I purchased my husband the LCD version for Christmas. It arrived 3 weeks ago, and is outside the window of return. To say I’m bummed is an understatement. If I had known there was going to be any updated deck coming this year, I would have tried to get that instead.
Yup which more than likely means you bought it in the sale right, i feel for you guys the most it was real shitty to do a large upgrade and a large price drop right after that everybody would have bought instead if given the chance.
Sadly no. I paid full price for it $649. Really, really bummed.
Everyone with a LCD Steam Deck wants the OLED one, EVERYONE!
It’s just better in every way.
It’s not just an OLED upgrade tho. I mean, who doesn’t want longer battery life?
I haven’t really seen it to be honest. All I’ve read is how any steam deck is a good steam deck. This sub is great for that.
I don’t even care about the screen, I normally use it as a portable PC so I can play on my living room.
Currently re playing Subnautica, I played it when the game was beta, could not even finish the game.
And now it is very, very polished and looks amazing on the deck.
Instead of spending $500 on a new Deck I’m spending $200 on upgrades to my current Deck. 1TB SSD, 1TB microSD, Hall effect thumbsticks, etc.
It’s the Real Madrid vs Real Madrid Castilla of handheld debates.
I kinda wish we could standardize Mini-LED displays. They give you OLED like quality with zero risk of burn in, and they tend to offer more peak brightness for HDR content.
But I can’t wait to switch to the new Steam Deck OLED, anytime I picked up my Switch OLED after playing on the current Steam Deck, I am always wishing I could transplant the screen.
