I would rather have the matte screen, because reflections really get on my nerves, but I have heard that you lose some of the deep blacks and colors in the OLED screen. How noticeable are these changes. Also I have read about if I don’t like it an easy fix is to put a normal glossy screen protector over the etched glass. Is this true? Thanks
youre reading too much into it. theres no “issues” just enjoy your new deck
You can lose some of the blacks and colors when a direct light disperses across the screen, but you get that with any screen. The etched glass screen looks great colors and black levels and all. Enjoy your Steam Deck OLED!
I’ve had both versions of the LCD, and now the etched OLED. The colors are a lot better than the LCD and whatever loss of color there is is 100% worth it for muted reflections
There are 2 scenarios:
- Lit environment - Etched better.
- Darkness - both same.
