Not sure if you played on an Oled screen before but the difference is massive to my eyes. Not that I care about screen quality that hard on a Steam Deck. I can wait for SD2
I have, unless its monitor sized or bigger, oled isnt that big of a deal for me. I’m usually playing my steam deck in my car while riding the ferry or after lunch in the break room at work, I’m not in the mind space to be immersed, in fact I’m fighting against being immersed since I’ve got somewhere else to be often times
This is how I see it too. I don’t get much time to game anymore so the deck is very much a pick up and play when I get 20 minutes etc. I have a OLED laptop and LG OLED TV which are fanastic. But vibrant deck does a great job of making the Decks LCD screen look great.
But I do think it’s the right choice for new Deck users or current deck users that have disposable incomes.
I remember with the PSVita I never noticed a difference unless I put them side-by-side. Obviously OLED is better, but with a small screen & just…using the one you have…they were nearly indistinguishable.
I expect this to be the same. If I were rich I might upgrade, but it’s not worth it otherwise IMO
I had the opposite experience, the oled vita looked so much better to me. To the point that I didn’t care about the slim vita having a standard charger, and longer batter life. I just wanted to play on the better screen so I sold the slim.
Lol it really is, I love the deck but the screen IS ass. The amount of light bleed is unreal. I tried to watch movies on it but always just go back to my phone because it looks so much better.
I know and appreciate OLED through my Vita, but it wasn’t even enough to compel me to get a newer Switch (especially since my earlier upgrade to a Mariko unit had already been unplanned). Revisions like these work best when you have yet to get any at all - although if OP can still refund and then get the new model without much hassle, it may well be in the ballpark of “why not”.
Good choice. I bought the newer oled switch and honestly, other than screen, there is no difference between the two systems. It’s still running all the same hardware with the same cheap easy to break controllers. In fact about 2 weeks after I got mine the joy con’s started messing up. And Nintendo is a joke putting those cheap paper weights at 80 bucks lol
So for the rest of us that bought one, and cannot afford yearly upgrades for 500-1000$? What of us? No me console trade in like GameStop used to do? Just stiffed?
What do you mean by this? (Do you play on an external OLED monitor? Some sort of mode on this current Deck? Or are you talking about a different device?)
OLED is really a game changer playing 90% of the time in OLED mode I notice how bad is the LCD when I’m back to it
Same!
I dont care for it much, its good, I get it but the bigger battery is much more important to me

Bigger battery is way more meaningful imo
Bro the SD screen is shit, this is a game changer lol

Was the Vita OLED from the start? Or was that a later edition?
Exactly, I see no point in buying another Steam Deck held back by Linux. Literally can’t play a single new game with the OLED model.
held back by linux? you cant be serious

You have two steamdeck? What an embarrassment of riches
