I found this thread because I was just wondering this. I booted up Cyberpunk and Guardians of the Galaxy at 30FPS and I swear they look and play MUCH better on the OLED deck than they every did on the LCD. Maybe it’s the reduced latency or pixel response times I don’t know but I really didn’t enjoy 30FPS games on the LCD deck but I’m loving them on the OLED.
Okay just came here looking for an answer and this might be it. HDR is totally broken on my CP2077 copy from GOG.
I was thinking that would be the case because the thermals are better and it doesn’t get as hot.
This is a high quality post. 90fps HDR is the dream.
Good to know. I brought my SD card with me to Thanksgiving out of state with a bunch of games loaded up. Coming Friday!
“Steam Machine” is going to be Steam OS for all PCs. PC prebuilt manufacturers will start selling gaming PCs with Steam OS at a discount VS Windows machines because they don’t have to pay for a license. That’s Valve’s endgame.
My Autumn Sale haul (still waiting for my OLED):
Crysis Remastered - $1.49 (Because I own the original) Delete - $1.38 El Paso Elsewhere - $15.99 Guardians of the Galaxy - $14.99 McPixel 3 - $1.98 Signalis - $14.99 Tinykin - $9.99
About $60 on the nose. Same price as one new AAA game.
All those games are fantastic. Starfield might be a bit rough on the deck I’d look up some YouTube videos of steam deck performance for it before you commit.
Space Moth DX good shout there. Wonderful little SHMUP.
And very dark. I bet it looks incredible on OLED.
I really enjoyed this game on Steam Deck. It’s perfect for a handheld.
Happened to me with TVs. Once I bought an LG OLED I can’t go back. Not even to a very nice LCD TV.
This was my major issue as well. Shortly after I bought the OG Steam Deck I said to myself “If they ever make an OLED version I’m buying it in two seconds.” I know the LCD panel doesn’t bother everyone but it really bothered me. So when Valve released not only an OLED but a 90hz HDR OLED with improved battery life? Yeah take my money.
It would be such a win if they had a featured “HDR Games” part of the sale.
There were eBay listings for the OLED with 100% markup the second it launched. Screw every one of those people. I hope their Thanksgiving turkey is dry.
Default is better and if you want to adjust further you can do it in display settings. New default settings are pretty good I barely adjusted them.
Holy shit what a ride. Got the LE in my cart, that wasn’t working. Went for a 1TB, that said “out of stock”. Actually purchased a 512 then noticed the LE was BACK in stock, purchased an LE and put in a refund request for the 512. Phew. Limited Edition incoming let’s gooooo!
I’ve only ever used heroic but I’ll give Lutris a go
