1 full week now into having my OLED LD. Previously sold my LCD.
Assuming one buys a Steam Deck because of daily responsibilities and life alone. Then consider the total time you would spend on the deck. After a long day of work. The few hours left after kids asleep. The few hours after partners content.
You deserve the superior OLED screen considering this is likely a full time substitute of a PS5/PC
Gaming experience and speed is far superior and noticeable than LCD
Heat and fan noise is reduced compared to LCD
Battery is superior and so important considering we primarily bought this for the purpose of mobility.
We’re all going to die one day.
You deserve the OLED! Don’t buy LCD as first timer. LCD remnants, seriously consider it!
Many are happy with the LCD still and don’t see a mid-generation (performance gain was negligible) screen-swap worth a few hundred additional dollars, but I’m very happy you do, and glad you are enjoying it!
Whatever happiness I experience while using my deck comes from the games themselves and being able to play them away from the desk, and next to my wife.
