    It’s not as good as OLED, but it’s stil good enough. What do you want to hear? Sold the old one and buy an OLED? It’s up to you.

    Nobody is saying that. Where do you get this weird info?

    Oled has better battery life and marginal (1-5%) better fps along with a new screen.

    LCD is fine, I used it for 18 months. But if you have the means and use your SD a lot then the improved screen + all other benefits of the redesign are totally worth it.

    The LCD screen is pretty good actually. Valve has done a ton of work to make it better than what it launched as, and honestly, comparing to my OLED, the OLED is not much of an upgrade. It has more contrast and true blacks, obviously, but color reproduction is not all that much better than the LCD.

    However, there’s way more to the OLED model than just the screen. The OLED model in general is objectively better in virtually every way. 90Hz is huge. The battery life difference is very significant.

    The LCD is not bad, and honestly, if you already have one, you’re just fine sticking with it, unless there’s something like battery life or something that’s really bothering you. If you were just buying today, though, the OLED is hands down the better choice.
