Dave2D’s latest video showed a good point I wasn’t thinking about during my excitement for the OLED announcement: the etched glass dulls the OLED pop and black levels. So it seems, the cheaper revised version is actually the better option. I wish the limited edition didn’t have the etched glass now. What do you folks think? Still getting the top tier?
All these discussions on the display made me go and revisit the anti-glare protector that I had on my 256 GB Deck. The moment I took it off, I could immediately tell the difference in contrast and text clarity. Sure there’s more glare, but the colors just pop so much more and the blacks are so much better. This re-affirms my decision on going with the 512GB OLED Deck. If the reflections bother me for some reason, I can just add an anti-gloss coating in the future, but it is impossible to get the clarity of the non-coated screen if I want that. Based on my experiences with my LG C2 OLED, it is hard to go back from true black levels I’m used to seeing and you can never get that with the etched screen and applying any sort of glossy protector on top.
