Hi all As many of us I migrate form the original steam deck to the new oled version. I did not anticipate the benefit of the small screen size increase… The screen fill so much bigger thanks to the 0.4inch increase!!! Of course the oled screen nice color are increasing this feeling.

    I think it’s also because of the smaller bezels. I know, obvious, but what I mean is, proportionally the decrease in bezels is more substantial than the increase in active area.

    Meh.

    I can’t literally be the only person who doesn’t really feel like the screen size difference is appreciable. It’s barely more than the width of a toothpick on each side.

    The pure blacks making the letterboxing on 16:9 games blend into the bezel is actually a more noticeable improvement, IMO.

    First impressions here are, but he screen fills much better the frame, as you said that 0.4 makes a nice difference, the joysticks are better, they feel a bit more stiff but it’s good compared to LCD, trackpad is working really nice, they did a good job, and the steam and configuration buttons are much more clicky, ofc Oled screen is gorgeous

    It’s insane how much of a difference it really makes! I hated the large bezels on the LCD Deck but just .4 inches definitely shrinks the bezels quite a bit.

    I went from SD LCD to Lenovo Legion Go 8.8 inch screen. There’s no way back.
