I made this exact mistake when the Switch OLED came out. I got caught up in hype, I bought the new one, and slowly it dawned on me that I just spent 300 extra dollars for exactly the same machine I already had, and a screen that, as good as it was, was NOT worth that 300 dollars.

If you don’t own a Steam deck, then go nuts! Do what you want.

If you already own a Steam Deck, you already own everything you actually wanted a Steam deck for. An OLED screen is not going to make the games you already play somehow magically better. You’re fine. Chill out

    I am totally fine with my original one. The battery is enough for casual gameplay. I am still amazed at how awesome the LCD screen looks, I add vibrant deck for some games.

      Yeah I want to see a comparison of the OLED vs the LCD with vibrant deck on. I know its not the same colorspace… but it looks way, way better than without Vibrant Deck.

      The oled blacks would be awesome for letterboxed games though…
