Just bought my Deck this year and with Valve not offering any sort of trade-in program or self-upgrade kits at the moment, I figure a lot of owners are also asking themselves the same thing. I know that the Steam Deck 2 will eventually come at some point and my current one works perfectly fine, but the OLED screen, wifi chip, and better battery are REALLY enticing to me. Battery life especially because that is one of my biggest hangups with the first generation models.

Anyone else on the fence too?

    no, it is perfectly okay to sell your current and buy oled.

    1. there is a person who will buy your lcd deck and will love it, so one more in the community

    2. you will get noticeably better steamdeck. I’m doing the same thing.

    maybe I leave my current deck for my son when he travels, but not sure he will like it, so might end up selling

    now, I know my statement in 2) is not popular around here, but just check digital foundry, dave2d, taki udon’s reviews, cryobyte’s vid and gamers nexus teardown comparison and it simply is a fact oled version is a better console. no shame in admitting that. I love my lcd steamdeck, it’s the best gadget I ever owned (and I owned one too many tbh). but I’m getting oled right away as it is my dream come true
