Hi! I’ve been very excited to get a Deck for a year now and I’m able to get one, but I’m really not sure whether it’s worth shelling out an extra €100 for the OLED model. I’m planning to mostly play games casually, like DRG, so I don’t think I really need the higher refresh rate, and I can get those framerates on my PC.
Are the internal upgrades worth the extra money? Or should I go for the older LCD model? Or do I go for a refurbished one?
Thank you!
Yes, the screen alone would make it worthwhile. However the improved battery life, charging, better thermals and efficiency, better WiFi if you have the equipment to take advantage of it and the very slight performance bump from the faster RAM all make it worth it. Now obviously do what’s best for your budget and don’t feel bad going with the LCD deck if you decide to I have owned my LCD deck for a while now and it’s great. It’s just that if you can get the OLED deck you should.
