I haven’t seen any talk about it since OLED was announced. Has anyone had any feelings about it? Is the project pretty much dead at this point?

    I have one. It’s gorgeous. For emulation, older games, and those that support FSR2, it’s well worth it. New AAA titles struggle at 1200p…but that was already true of 800p so it’s not like it’s much different. Even so you can run something like Cyberpunk 2077 at 1600x900 with FSR2 Performance and get comparable performance to FSR2 Quality @ 1280x800, only it’s 16:9 and looks far better.

    It’s not perfect, but for those with the technical skills to do the swap in the first place it’s a decent upgrade. People also vastly overestimated the BIOS updating issue. I’ve updated SteamOS no less than 4 times (3.5.1 -> 3.5.5) since installing DeckHD and not a single update has overwritten the BIOS. It will happen eventually, I’m sure, but it’s a far cry from the “every update” that people parroted.
