So maybe I’m asking a stupid question, but I never had an OLED screen before. I recently got my 256gb steam deck (less than 2 weeks) and I’m not sure if I want to refund and get the new OLED or just get the difference back (as the the old decks are discounted). I remember always hearing about burn in when OLEDs are mentioned, is it still an issue (specifically for the steam deck)?

    After reading all the comments and searching stuff up on the Internet, the answer to my question is that it will take a very long time to get burn in, and by that time the screen won’t be the only thing to worry about. It’s just like anything else, it will degrade over time, but that will be years and shouldn’t stop you from buying it (just like lithium batteries degrading doesn’t stop you from buying electronics).
