I think the new OLED Deck is really cool. I think this Deck HD is really cool too. I want to live in a world where both can exist and we don’t need to pick sides.

    I personally don’t see much point in using a 1200p screen when the console is already having difficulties at 800p in some games, but I guess that only for the improved panel and 2D indies, it’s worth it for a lot of people. I could see myself buying it if the removal of the screen wasn’t such a nightmare, but the real dealbreaker is having to modify the BIOS after every updates and now knowing when it will break, that just makes it unusable for me.

      I’ve started streaming a lot of games from my PC so it would be good for that - but otherwise, yeah I agree.

      I play a lot of games on the go that hover over 40, which is perfect - but with the increased resolution they probably wouldn’t hit that.

      If OP enjoys it, they enjoy it. It’s their deck. It seems pretty hype for games like Stardew imo.

      Add to that, that 800p for a screen this size, you can’t see individual pixels so there’s already no problem. I guess for a game like Stardew Valley where having more pixels actually matters, it can be cool.

      1200p on a 6” screen though? That’s crazy man.

        Are you blind? It’s easy to spot the pixels. Even if you can’t it still has a major effect on aliasing.
