The Steam Deck OLED in 2024 is a different beast. The decision between the two of them has only gotten easier.

I'm not surprised that the PS4 had issues with Cyberpunk. The CPU was a massive issue for developers because it was so slow. It was also a 7 year old GPU by the time Cyberpunk had released and the Deck released in 2022.

Does your limited edition OLED have a crack on the bottom near one of the screws? Apparently, the translucent shell can get stress cracks.

The oled made certain games I didn’t like playing on the LCD version better. God of War, Spider Man, and even Helldivers was decently playable. I highly recommend it. The touch pads feel better, and it just feels improved after coming from the LCD.😂

I got the 1 tb OLED model. One of… if not the best piece of gaming tech I’ve ever purchased. I have a monster PC to play the really hard hitting demanding titles. This thing, though, has enabled me to go back and knock out some of that backlog of games. I also have a newborn baby and the ability to be able to put this thing to sleep real quick and pick right back up where I left off without a single hiccupis impossible to articulate the value. Until windows handheld can do something comparable, there is no way that I could possibly compare the two.

My 3 observations after playing on SD OLED for a month and comparing it to my experience with original LCD model. It has obiously better screen(OLED vs poor sRGB 71% on SD LCD), greater battery life - easy to get 1 more hour on AAA games without any settings tweak and also quiet fans - they do not disturb you while playing and on LCD they were really annoyingly loud.

I sold an LCD for an ROG Ally and I'm tempted to come back. I wish the Deck had more performance, because Windows on a handheld is doodoo. The Deck isn't perfect but there's a LOT to be said for things mostly just working (even though some things don't work at all but hey)

@Yusei255 4 күн бұрын

you can get a mod for it, then connects to the SSD slot, so you can connect an Egpu if you wanted a bit of extra performance.

@danquaza9275 4 күн бұрын

Yea same I had the Deck LCD, had it for a year and a half, bought the ROG Ally, loved the performance… hate everything else about it. And just today my new Deck OLED came in and man I missed the Steam Deck. It really is such a different beast. It truly feels more like a console versus just a handheld computer. Definitely missed it

@andrewwilson5154 3 күн бұрын

I’ve always loved the Deck but eventually left for the Legion Go for the bigger screen and Z1 Extreme. I felt my Microwave Oven had a faster processor than my Deck!! I will come back though when they release a model with some power

I'm trying to decide if I want to sell my 512GB LCD Steam Deck and get the OLED, or just wait and see what the next SD will be like. I'm leaning towards just keeping my current one. If Valve had a trade in program I definitely would have done it already.

When the oled got announced not 3 days latter my lcd had a big issue and valve had to send me a brand new one so that is what gave me the green light to get the oled because now i didnt have to sell it as used but as brand new. with that being said I love my oled WAY more then the lcd and i play it way more. the weight loss even though small it made it so it didnt hurt my wrist in 15 minutes but instead 2 3 hours. the battery is amazing, and it was amazing going from a 64 gb to a tb. 100% worth the extra price for me. my 64 gb was filled with shaders and it was vary annoying.

@realtruth1448 4 күн бұрын

I find it idiotic to get any handheld pc that isn’t the steamdeck or ayaneo kun, simply because of the battery life... apparently the rog ally x battery life is comparable to the steamdeck now, but that’s still not tested via youtube videos, but at this point late into the handheld pc world, the steamdeck is the clear winner, and kun comes in second place

My friend has an OLED, I HAVE the LCD. I honestly can't really notice a difference in image quality that much. The OLED is a little bit better colors, but I don't think it warrants an upgrade to OLED for me. I'll stick with LCD
