Struggling with refurb 64GB vs 512GB OLED. Will play 90%+ handheld. Will play indie games (Hades, Hollow Knight, Dave the Diver, Children of Mortal, etc) 90%+ of the time. The only non-indie game I can think of that I’ll play now is Witcher 3.

I know there are a lot of updates with the OLED, but based on what I’ll use it for, it seems like the fact that it’s OLED vs LCD is the only meaningful update, and know that it feels like a $250 price difference is a lot.

I feel like improved battery life won’t be a big deal for me based on the games I play, and I also don’t play for more than 1-2 hours at a time anyway. Is 90FPS that much of a better experience than 60FPS?

Is there anything else I’m missing for how I’ll use the Deck? If there are meaningful improvements to the experience based on how I’ll use it, then I could see going for the OLED, but if it’s just OLED vs LCD then I’m not sure it’s worth an extra $250… thanks!!

    Depends how picky you are about the screen you stare at, I don’t personally care if my screen is a little less contrasted and colorful.
