    LCD is a light filter that you put in from of a backlight. OLED sub-pixels emit light themselves. So you're close, but rather than each sub-pixel having a backlight, there's no back and each subpixel is their own light.

    The good thing about having younger siblings is that you never feel bad about your hardware dropping in value as you can just give the old tech to them. Never sold any of my old computer components as when I upgrade the old parts just trickle down the chain to the next person. It empowers them to play games more easily which worth more to me than getting a bit of change back.

    Thanks for pointing out that the upgrade isn't just about the new screen but there's a ton of other changes that Valve made to the OLED model that really add up. I might have missed it in the video, but I don't believe you touched on the upgraded Wifi and Bluetooth chip bringing it up to Wifi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 which allows for low latency audio for wireless earbuds and a much faster and more stable Wifi connection.

    I’m incredibly hyped. The fact that they fixed nearly all major flaws of the original Deck, is wild. Sure, it’s on paper the same APU, but you gotta keep in mind that OLED comes with a much better pixel response time, and it will feel so much better. Mark my words.

    Another thing to note is the frame doubling from 45->90fps is a power saver. since no actual rendering is done for half of the frames it just displays the prerendered frame over again you can see a noticeable improvement in battery life vs keeping it at 60 70 80 fps etc.

    I'm not upgrading, it's just not enough of an impact for me, but instead a bunch of small improvements.
    Plus Valve effectively hammered the resale value of LCD Decks with this move (since the market is getting flooded with them right now). I was actually considering a larger-screen system (like the Go), but with this move, I can't recover enough from my Deck to justify the purchase. Looks like I'll be waiting another year or two to upgrade.

    Good advice as always my lesson from jumping into the handheld market is just wait lol. Even diablo 4 is already 60 for the 100 dollar version so I'm just gonna upgrade my ssd card on my deck and wait for a steam sale where the deck will be on sale just like vavle did early this year with the now discontinued 512gb lcd which was 700 at launch and now market value is already 450 or lower lol. Thanks for all the tech info it's definitely more about disposable income. Rog ally is already on sale so if you wait awhile you will get it cheaper then being first to buy.

    Purchased the Limited edition on the 16th, I couldn't resist. This will be my first steam deck, I have watched a lot of videos on it, and this was a very easy decision for me. especially with all the improvements, if this limited edition came out and there was no change, I would not have gotten the deck, or the special edition. I am surprised the limited edition did not sell out yet

    SteamOS being darker in gamemode is darker acrossed the board and it doesn’t look bad on lcd deck. Imo it looks even better. You can try it on your og by going to preview branch. Valve has the white balance go 7500k which is slightly blue which isn’t white in srgb. I would suggest changing it to 6500k which is pure white and it’s noticeable quality upgrade on the og deck and maybe it will on the oled?
    Later models of lcd one has clicky steam and qam buttons.

    I have my Steam Deck LCD 64gb for about 2 months now when it was on sale. I replaced the hard drive to 2tb SSD and added a Anti-glare protective screen to it. To me, the LCD screen looks great to me, plus I dock my Steam Deck to a portable 15.6 inch monitor which looks even better. As this is my 1st handheld PC cconsole, I've have been havng a blast with it. I would love to get the OLED version, but i am satisfied with my Steam Deck. I had no issues at all and I rather save my money to get the official Steam Deck 2 when it comes out. Yes, the upgraded OLED version is a drastically improved version in everyway, I just don't think I will sell my Steam Deck and get the OLED version as I probably will not be able to sell it for a good price. With that said, it's a No, for me to upgrade to the OLED version.

      ROG has more power and can give better graphics or just simply smoother graphics, but you might have to troubleshoot things per game installed. Steam has a much better user interface and out of the box user experience, most of the time you just download and play.
      Steam does have some issues playing particular titles, so I would do your research on what games it can and can't play.
      1tb vs 2tb entirely depends on you, are you the type to play many different games depending on your mood? Or are you the type who likes to start a game, finish it and move onto the next. But really imo sd size just comes down to if you can afford it or not.

    I'd consider upgrading if I had the money but I've spent too much money on other hobbies outside of gaming this year already so even if I do come into the money at some point it won't be for a while. My plan is still to wait for an actual generational leap when we get a Deck 2 at some point, the LCD isn't the swiftest color wise but I'm fairly used to that in handhelds given the screens on most have been traditionally a bit meh in some respects.

    Need to recognize that an 800p OLED at that size is probably equivalent to a 1600p LCD.
    OLED have a clean pixel structure that results in the resolution appearing higher.
    I saw a blind test of a Samsung high end QLED (LCD) 8K tv vs an LG 4K OLED.
    Like 95% of people thought the 4K OLED was the 8K TV.

      You are wrong bro what you talking about is Micro OLED not regular OLED.... OLED suffere mors in resolution which gives it more noticeable screen door effect while latest LCD have superior pixels arrangements hence less screen door effect (it's a know thing in VR because of how sensitive it's in that market)
      But Micro OLED is the best when it comes to pixel arrangements

    I have had the original Steam Deck LCD for 16 months. I bought the limited edition one when it said it would ship in 2-4 weeks so I could keep my place in line while really thinking about it and maybe cancelling if I changed my mind. Well it arrived 5 days later (yesterday). I kept it in the box and thought about returning it since in my mind I’m thinking the only thing that is different is the OLED. Am I really buying a new one just for a new screen? Well I couldn’t resist and opened it. Moved my old 2TB SSD over and everything worked flawlessly. I noticed how much better the WiFi 6E chip was. Online games were smoother and downloads were way faster. The trackpads and the haptics underneath them were noticeably better and the intensity in each side felt equal. My original Steam Deck was weaker on one side. I wasn’t expecting the trackpads and haptics to be better, so that was a nice surprise. The OLED screen was obviously leaps and bounds beyond the LCD in brightness and color accuracy. However one aspect of it that is also a thousand times better is the touchscreen. No one I watched or listened to mentioned how much better the touch sensor worked on the OLED. The OLED touchscreen feels so much more fluid and precise like a smartphone screen does. It makes navigating SteamOS and Windows a breeze.
    My one issue is I dual booted into Windows to play a few games that don’t work in SteamOS. I was sad to find that there are zero WiFi drivers for Windows on the OLED Steam Deck. I couldn’t get an Ethernet adapter to work either. Once they release those drivers I probably still have to worry about the third party apps I used to manage the Steam Deck controls in Windows probably need to be updated too and who knows when that will happen. Hopefully soon. Windows runs, but you won’t get any internet or control input yet. So keep that in mind if you need Windows to work.
    I still don’t have any regrets upgrading. I’ll sell my old Steam Deck and keep the OLED.
