“And I said, ‘That’s good! One less thing to worry about.’” --Forrest Gump

Thank you for posting settings. I haven’t come across comparisons that actually disclose calibration settings for LCD and OLED beforehand.

Blame the devs. It became popular to blame the Deck for not running Starfield and BG3 until it came out that they ran bad everywhere and were rushed out with bad programming.

The paradigm of “just buy new card” explains why games run so badly now: because consumers blame themselves and not the devs. Like holy shit, when Alan Wake 2 can run well on the Deck you can stop using “muh next gen” as an excuse for your game to perform awfully.

cope

but basically a lot of the OLED proponents don’t mention that the screen is only available on the $500+ models, in keeping with the “basic model is loss leader and grabs attention but more expensive models are what consumers want” sales tactic. I would say it’s an improved strategy over the old 64GB paradigm; consumers can’t replace screens as easily as storage.
