Amazing

Oled device?

How quickly did you end up saving enough?

I’d say neither, you can try those portable 1080p oled screens if you want to get a better image out of it.

A big tv really stretches out what the steamdeck can render. Whilst 800p looks great on such a small screen it will not maintain that on a 55" TV. If you already need to get a TV though and attaching the deck with VRR (supported by most modern tvs)

A gaming monitor is often mostly characterized by its high framerate, which you won’t reach on the deck, low response times that only matter at higher framerates. Hdr is still not great here and buying a gaming monitor just for the deck is not worth the desk usage.

That’s great to hear! It makes me wonder what was stopping this update from happening earlier?

They made a big deal out of it before release. I was at gamescom and they namedropped AMD during the presentation.

I mean Nvidia was in the same boat with their RTX 20xx series. Only a few Raytracing games that all made poor use of it like Tomb raider Shadows and battlefield V meh reflections. Let’s not even mention dlss 1.0 being useless.

It’s a shame the two games are just not that interesting and barely had any hype buildup. They still need their cyberpunk 2077 or Alan Wake 2 or Witcher 3/portal/metro Exodus remake.
