1 full week now into having my OLED LD. Previously sold my LCD.

Assuming one buys a Steam Deck because of daily responsibilities and life alone. Then consider the total time you would spend on the deck. After a long day of work. The few hours left after kids asleep. The few hours after partners content.

You deserve the superior OLED screen considering this is likely a full time substitute of a PS5/PC

Gaming experience and speed is far superior and noticeable than LCD

Heat and fan noise is reduced compared to LCD

Battery is superior and so important considering we primarily bought this for the purpose of mobility.

We’re all going to die one day.

You deserve the OLED! Don’t buy LCD as first timer. LCD remnants, seriously consider it!

    I deserve to be happy with my Deck. And I’m happy with my LCD Deck. If I want an OLED experience, I’ll use my TV. I’ll get the OLED version of the next generational device and this one will go to my daughter.

    Hey man… You trying to cost me $350 just for a screen? Hahaha. I can’t justify selling my lcd just for oled upgrade.

    I see a lot of people who ordered oled having issues with dead pixels and no delivery, I think honestly the years taken off their life with those problems might outreach the benefits

    This feels like a legitimate marketing campaign, and I know it’s not, which makes it really fuckin weird.

    I booted up my LCD deck today, after using my OLED deck for a couple weeks. The same game felt laggy, the fan noise was significant, and the track pad was frustrating to use. The whole deck felt clunkier despite being the same dimensions, due to being heavier and having a larger bezel. Interestingly, the image quality of the LCD holds up just fine, though. In a side-to-side comparison I could tell the difference, but qualitatively my game looked fine.

    Good take. Simple. To the point. Now we need the counter-arguement for those to abstain OLED and be LCD die-hard.

    Any takers?

    If the OG deck’s fan noise is a 10/10 comparatively what would the OLED be
