Totally agree on all fronts. I loved my LCD Deck for the short 8 months that I had it. For perspective, I was planning on getting the LCD Deck for my girlfriend for Christmas but the OLED was announced around that time so I decided to wait to see if I could snag one first. When it came in, I wanted to test it out to make sure it worked and also wanted to install and set up game for her so she could play right out of he box. Within the first few hours, I fell in love with it and decided to sell my LCD for my own OLED to mitigate the cost of the upgrade. It's easily the best decision I've ever made, but I still want to point out that the LCD is amazing on it's own. If I didn't have the OLED to compare it to, I would be blissfully happy with it.

Have an LCD already like yourself. Ordered an LE even though I know I didn't need it, but man I Wanted it, and boy did it deliver in a way that feels way above just the specs and upgrades alone. It was already such a fantastic handheld, and the OLED upgraded nearly everything that should have been upgraded. It's fantastic all around. Now I have two Steam Decks which I got my Dad using for the game Sledders which scratches the itch of Snowmobiling while we were waiting for the snow during Christmas. Also. The OLED Deck is lighter, but the LE Deck, is even Lighter than that!?

I had the og deck, but decided to buy the oled anyway... and I made the right choice: the oled screen is in an another league and 90hz feels super smooth! Even 30hz, 40hz, 45hz feel smoother. Also, battery upgrade is huge: it is even more noticeable with games that consume few tdps

@Micromation 5 ай бұрын

@@Enyel210 Realistically you won't use that 90Hz unless maybe, perhaps if you Stream content from your desktop (would need to use Moonlight, Steam Remote Play is hard capped at 60fps). Even such a simple game as Vampire Survivors crunches down to 20fps on the Steam Deck once the things get going. Also the screen still doesn't support variable refresh rate so that 90Hz isn't exactly an upgrade that matters a whole lot. You will still be capping your framerate at 40 or 60 for best battery life (and if you're at home and you own PC, just do yourself a favour and stream it - your Deck will last 7hr on battery with framerate and fidelity that your desktop allows you to, there's just 0 reason to run game on the Deck itself if you're just moving to the couch.

But Steam Deck OLED is a beast. Does wonder for my backlog of games, I also use it in docked mode hooked to 27” display as Linux PC and its works.

It's true that the battery life is INSANE. I literally did a transatlantic flight with 1 stopover and a total travel time of 12 hours (from the first flight departure) , I played the whole time during the flights (FFX remaster) and i arrived at 3% battery (starting from 96 %) only when there were about 2h left. Excluding the 1h stopover in amsterdam it means that 93% of the battery lasted something like 9 hours. It's just insane. Then I simply charged it with a powerbank till 15% at around 15W charging, took like 20-30 mins while I was doing something else. Then played the other 1h30 while plugged to the powerbank to avoid getting the battery too low. 93% 9 hours. Any other PC handheld would have already died not even at the end of the first flight inside europe lol.

Is it important to put a screen protector on the OLED anti glare version? I heard it may not need one, but what do you think? Any brand recommendations?

@Tonno7 5 ай бұрын

if you wanted the screen protector you chose the wrong deck. Glossy deck is much more flexible for this. With the matte oled any screen protectors will ruin your experience: with the glossy protector if you have the worse of both worlds: not vivid colors for the matte underneath and the reflections of the protector, with the matte protector you have a worse quality matte above and with double matte layers you'll have washed out colors. This is one of the reasons I picked up the glossy deck. Much more versatile. Glossy is the best choice unless you're playing outside under the sun. But that's not the use case for 99.99% of the people. I play it at home, during flights or train rides without any issues whatsoever. I put a glossy screen protector on my glossy screen. Zero regrets.

Got my SD in March of 22'. I have to fight my urge tooth and nail every day to wait for the SD2. My reasoning? My SD works great, I mostly play plugged in on the couch so I'm not taking up the TV on the PS5 (chiaki4deck) or in the office away from my wife and kid, that means battery life is rarely an issue (I also carry a 25k battery pack when i'm not home). The screen and the better ram are a HUGE pull for me, but then I'd have almost a thousand bucks on a 1st gen console, so I'll wait for the next one.

I want the steam deck 2 to come out with an oled

@breakpoint3436 9 күн бұрын

I wonder if you use AR glasses and turn off the screen to save power would it work?

@sam.alexander.reviews 8 күн бұрын

But then the deck has to power the glasses, I’ve found it basically the same battery life either way

This is also a win for those in other countries where getting a Steam deck is hard, the 64GB LCD variant prices are dropping to an affordable price and simply buying a dock and a microSD card and you got yourself a portable gaming PC and also can run Linux for office work, Windows is also an option but I heard it’s clunky, now I’m planning to save up and get one so I can move my games from my laptop(to use for rendering and video editing only) to the steam deck and free up space, also a 15.6in gaming laptop is not a good travel buddy at all 🤣

I made my boyfriend get the OLED steam deck for himself as a nice gift that I knew he’d use, and he’s never had an issue with the battery, says the screen looks amazing, and (even though he hates playing on anything portable) says the handling, size of the device and interface of the buttons is entirely bearable to use when he’s away from the house. His only issue is the speakers, as some games on Steam are extremely quiet, he says the LCD’s speakers were actually louder 😮 I find it interesting and I’m glad he’s happy with it. I wish I had one now 😂

@thomaszinecker1785 4 ай бұрын

Then why would this guy say the speakers are better on the oleds?

@disasterincarnate 4 ай бұрын

can be worth checking the speaker volume levels in desktop mode, the max volume may not actually be max'd out, i had that issue with bluetooth audio, when paired to the deck, i used a bluetooth devices own volume up/down and at max it was quiet, on desktop mode the bluetooth audio for some reason was only on 50% of max, if that can happen to bluetooth it can happen to any audio device and is worth checking out.

@@disasterincarnate thank you, friend 😁 I’m almost sure he would have already known to check that, but I’ll be sure to let him know

just gotta ask.. is he comparing a brand new steam deck oled to a "heavily used" LCD deck, or did he get a new LCD deck for the comparison?

@homestar92 2 ай бұрын

A new feature that you missed: Bluetooth controllers can wake the OLED model from sleep. On the LCD model, only wired USB controllers (or controllers which use a USB dongle such as the Steam Controller) can do this.
