Steam Deck LCD Revisited in 2024: The Perfect Buy for Returning Gamers

I recently bought a used LCD Steam Deck with 1TB SSD for $290 and it's the best purchasing decision I've made in a long, long time. And for casual gamers or ex-gamers getting back into it, I think they'll have a similar experience. Watch the video and see why!

Me. I have had my LCD Steam Deck for about a year and it is still going strong with zero issues. Congrats. BTW I also get the whole working adult thing, with a family which is why portables actually allow me a way to play my games. Also, I too think the LCD screen on the Deck looks great especially after the firmware update.

For me, the biggest reason I saved up for the OLED model was the battery life difference. It also charges a lot quicker and has a 90hz screen. That being said. I enjoyed the LCD model just as much, and I wouldn’t notice a difference if I hadn’t upgraded.

Sold my Steam Deck earlier this year and started to miss it lol. Being able to play anywhere (even at work) was awesome. So I bought another one and it'll be here tomorrow. That's crazy you found one for $290. I found one of eBay with a 1TB SD card for $325 and I bought a used 1TB SSD for $50.

For anyone interested, in the Steam Store until July 11, 2024, the 64 GB & 512 GB LCD Steam Decks are 15% off! That makes the 64 GB Steam Deck only $296.65 and the 512 GB Steam Deck only $381.65. These are new unites and as of 6/26/24 they are in stock. The LCD Steam Deck is an incredible value in gaming. I hope that helps someone.

@@RobertSmith-tu7rl Nice! Enjoy. Now while you are waiting you can take advantage of the just insane deals Steam is having in their Summer Sale right now. Switch sales have been pretty good lately but for me these incredible sales on Steam really help the overall package of why the Steam Deck is such a great deal in gaming.

@@evilcrashbandicootthetouho2753 Wow. Sorry about that. If you find the Steam Deck for a good price, grab one. It is worth it. With that big of price difference it might be cheaper to buy it in the US and ship it to you.

I lucked out and got a 64GB LCD Steam Deck for $279 about 8 months ago. I put a 1TB SSD in it for $75 (Silicon Power UD90 1TB) and a 1TB microSD card for $55 (TeamGroup Pro). In total I spent just under $450 for a LCD Steam Deck with 2TB of storage.

That’s funny - I also got a 64Gb from GameStop about 8 months ago and installed the exact same SiliconPower NVME drive and TeamGroup SD card. My only problem is having too many games installed and not enough time to play!

I got the OLED Version for $450, and while it’s 512GB, it’s good enough for me due to the 1 TB MicroSD card.

@GtaRipper 9 күн бұрын

I compared my LCD model to the OLED of a colleague of mine, but the difference is HUGE. The OLED screen feels sharper somehow, even though the resolution is the same, the colors are waaaay above the LCD model too. The battery is also a night and day difference. If you have the disposable income I'd just get the OLED if you don't have a deck already, it's worth it. I won't buy the OLED because I already have the LCD, though.

I just purchased steam deck refurbished 64GB from valve, for $100 less than new 64GB deck. Upgrade the ssd to 1 TB, change the back plate and put the case and screen protector. Install emu deck, install win 11 on external ssd, link the game from valve, connect the bluetooth keyboard and mouse, external monitor. Not all games play smoothly there is some quirks but I amaze at how flexible the system is.

I recommend RetroDeck over EmuDeck. EmuDeck uses too many scripts all over the place for install.

I was a part of the original wave of the first steam decks. Placed a $5 preorder and waited a year before I got mine lol. Long story short, sold it due to necessity, but missed it so bad I just pulled the trigger on the 64GB $296 model! I still have my 1TB micro SD card so I'm stoked!

I was keen but they're still not officially available in my country and a 1tb oled costs as much as the upcoming ally x so can't justify them. I don't find windows to bad on a handheld (I have a onexplayer 4800u and an aokzoe a1) , at least after the initial setup. I'll likely get the ally x next month. I really wish valve would pull their head out their ass and get global distribution sorted

Hope you like your Ally X! I also wish Steam Deck was more widely available everywhere. It's not exactly straight forward here in Korea either.

Bought a Rog ally and returned it same day it was awful and super glitchy. I haven’t seen one video bagging on steam deck. I see steam deck plays games more smoothly and a better user experience and battery life. Downsides I see are smaller screen and not as robust screen res compared to Rog and legion go. This is all my observations and I am going to buy a steam deck to see if it’s a fit I only play apex legends and destiny 2

Those are NOT the stock sticks on your Steam Deck... but the stock ones are still ok. The OLED Steam Deck is a lot better. I am glad I upgraded. I also feel a lot happier about my life decisions being able to relax and enjoy myself all the time for days or hours on end... 30 minutes or an hour a day...? ouch, sounds miserable.
