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!

    I understand man. But my steam deck is still good so I am not forking more money just for oled.

    People that have only the steam deck and don’t have other gaming machines at home paired to an oled TV/monitor obviously they shouldn’t be pushed to spend money they don’t have or don’t consider spending on tech.

    Then you have the other spectrum of people that have multiple gaming machines and possibly an oled tv/monitor.

    For those people that have the money and the gaming machines I would say: get am oled gaming TV or and oled monitor and you are golden.

    I do have an oled TV and playing the last of us part 2 on it with HDR on was freaking amazing. Same goes for ghost recon breakpoint hdr is amazing on oled. Not to mention 4K 120hz. A blast man.

    People who don’t have money won’t upgrade to oled because they don’t have the money.

    People who have the money won’t upgrade cause they have a better experience on a big ass TV or a high refresh rate curved monitor.

    Who upgrades? People that really want the oled and/or better battery life and/or lower fan noise. (Me personally, I got the money but I’m good bro)

    I guarantee that people on this subreddit that afforded and wanted an oled version for the above mentioned reasons, they got it by now haha.

    Kudos to valve. The fact that I can scroll down with my finger on google colab on my steam deck while doing code on a monitor (still on the steam deck), its freaking amazing. Thanks for this amazing enhanced working experience.
