I traded my New 3DS XL(not BNIB but instead the dumb name Nintendo used) for a 64GB SteamDeck with a matte screen protector installed.

I’ve been using it for months and decided to take the screen protector off a few minutes ago after seeing a discussion on the OLED deck and matte screen.

Holy shit. It looks so gooooood! It’s like an upgrade without having to do anything lol

That’s it.

    I have applied a Matte screen protector onto my Steam Deck last week actually.

    I love it. Specifically because it acts as free antialiasing over every element on-screen.

    One drawback of sorts is that max brightness seems to be reduced and colors aren’t as “sharp” i guess but i don’t really care. It even added warmth to the displayed image which was a bit surprising.

    Although a gloss screen without a matte screen protector produces an clearer, sharper and slightly more vivid image overall, i still prefer the benefits that matte finish offers and they outweigh the cons.

    And i’m glad that worked out for you.
