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!
Selling my LCD Deck and buying an OLED wouldn’t actually change anything for me. I would still use it in the same places, at the same times, to play the same games. Even the battery isn’t a big concern for me because, between wall outlets and an external battery pack, I never actually drain mine.
You got an OLED and are blown away by the improvements? That’s great, good for you. But it feels a little insulting to be told the LCD model is old hat when it totally isn’t.
Plus I’ve already sunk some money into to my Deck and would rather keep my upgrades intact.
