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 think this is rad as fuck OP, you make the gaming device YOU want! Currently waiting on my OLED Deck but i’ll gladly give you a big fat upvote because you are doing what you want and that’s what it’s all about. Freedom of choice!

    No need for everyone to attack each other all the time.

    Good to know, I contained myself and didn’t buy the oled because I’ve been waiting on my deck hd screen to arrive.

    How are the colors? Does 800p look blurry or pixelated when scaled back from 1200p?

    Putting aside the free choice of paying to downgrading one’s battery life, a pixel art game seems to be the least effective choice to demonstrate a higher resolution display.

    But I guess the games where this would really shine (RDR2, Cyberpunk, Wreckfest, etc.) already have their hands full to be “playable” at 800p.

    cool shell. Not a fan of needing to go to BIOS every time the deck updates though. Deck HD is a hard pass for me personally.

    Dude, I’m upvoting this just because the day before the OLED got announced, I was about to pull the trigger on this same shell. Was wondering how it would look if I kept the original buttons and trackpads. This looks sick as fuck. I’ve been wanting this shell since before I even got my Deck. I too had the kiwi GBC growing up.

    Now that my 512GB is going to be a spare Deck, I’m going to do this. That way I won’t be too upset if I fuck something up.

    Love the shell! I want to do this so bad but I know I’m gonna break something if I did. Lol.
