I dont own a steam deck yet, and the oled recently got revealed and im wondering if i even need an oled display.

Is there any other difference between the oled and the lcd models?

I play games like

Resident evil

Little nightmares

Elden ring

Path of exile

Multiversus

    Well the first 2 games you mention benefit greatly from the screen alone because they’re dark atmospheric games where having perfect black levels will make them actively look better. The only reason I would suggest the LCD over the OLED if you don’t own one is budget. The LCD deck is considerably cheaper. Beyond that with the OLED SD you’re getting a smaller APU which means more energy efficiency and less heat. You’re also getting better performance (negligible but it is there), bigger battery, better battery life, faster charging, better larger 90Hz (vs 60Hz on LCD) screen with HDR screen for games that support it and faster WiFi with a compatible router to name a few.
