1 full week now into having my OLED LD. Previously sold my LCD.
Assuming one buys a Steam Deck because of daily responsibilities and life alone. Then consider the total time you would spend on the deck. After a long day of work. The few hours left after kids asleep. The few hours after partners content.
You deserve the superior OLED screen considering this is likely a full time substitute of a PS5/PC
Gaming experience and speed is far superior and noticeable than LCD
Heat and fan noise is reduced compared to LCD
Battery is superior and so important considering we primarily bought this for the purpose of mobility.
We’re all going to die one day.
You deserve the OLED! Don’t buy LCD as first timer. LCD remnants, seriously consider it!
This is talking me out of getting one. I wished it had an OLED last year when I got it. At this point I don’t use it enough and will wait until either a more powerful model or lower priced model (256GB?) or used market to have good deals. Definitely won’t be this year.
I am more considering getting an OLED portable monitor because I’d be able to use it with a variety of devices including Steam Deck. I understand that wouldn’t be used completely handheld but it would fit my portable use case (usually in a car or bed and sitting up when I’m using my portables). Considering I need to wear readers for handheld display close to my eyes, having a larger display further away is better. I There have some good deals lately but seems to be flaws so I haven’t pulled the trigger. I have a 15” LCD portable monitor right now.
