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 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.
