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

    the main reason i considered the switch oled a good upgrade wasn’t the screen (though it was a nice touch). it was that my v1 switches battery was barely keeping up for an hour of playtime. the steam decks haven’t been around long enough to have that be an issue yet
