I was wondering why you (don’t) use a screenprotector on the SteamDeck.
Why do you use one or why don’t you?
I’m probably influenced by youtubers but its seems like everyone is using a screen protector.

    I didn’t love the harsh reflections on my 256GB LCD, so I went with one of the matte OLEDs, thinking that would be better - no more staring at my own reflection - but as it turns out, I didn’t like the matte screen after all. It just seemed, I don’t know, different.

    So I put a glossy screen protector on it, and personally, I think it looks fantastic. I’d have to see a glossy 512GB side by side to see if there’s any difference, but I have to guess there wouldn’t be much, maybe even none at all.

    I do not. I just don’t drop the thing. Hard to explain, but it mostly steam plays my pc in various locations of the house.

    I just don’t use them at all. In my entire life I’ve broken one screen, and it was a slight crack that you had to catch the right angle to even notice.

    I use one because I hate it when there are small scratches that can happen every day. With a protector you just remove it and everything is perfect.

    I bought Nintendo switch oled and two weeks after having it, I was clumpsy enough to scratch the screen with my mac charger. The scratch was so annoying, I decided to sell it and bought a new oled lmao. So yes, when I got my hands on Steam Deck, putting a protective screen was first thing that I did, I didn’t want to go through this again

    I do not use screen protectors either on my phone or deck because i do not scratch them. If your situation is prone to scratching then protect them.

    Could anyone let me know if getting a screen protector for the oled 1tb model would still be worth it? I was thinking of getting the spigen screen protector.
