I appreciate the congratulations on me buying a 700 dollar device
Going into desktop mode, changing the screen settings to turn off after a minute, you can download stuff and your deck's screen will turn off, saving power.
Thank you!!! Was annoyed that I can't shut the screen off while downloading.
This was less “5 things to do” and more like “five things to buy” I feel like I’m watching a glorified infomercial. No hate. Just saying
My thoughts exactly. Almost like a "click my referral links, please" type of thing
For real. Cringe af.
ah shit, sorry, didn't mean for it to come off like that, i'll try to do it better in the future. thanks for the input
It didn’t come off like that, I did appreciate the tips as a new steam deck oled owner. Thanks!
@@sam.alexander.reviewshonestly, you didn’t say 5 things to do. You said 5 must dos. Great video!
Love the video brother thank you! Just got my own so I've been looking around to see what accessories to get.
An easy tip for newcomers regarding the download. For that time period you are downloading games to make sure the screen doesn’t turn off, you can change the display settings to not turn off after x amount of time while on the charger. I set mine to never while on the charger ONLY while getting my biggest games downloaded and changed it back after. It’s a great way to make sure it doesn’t die or turn off while downloading, however if you get the oled the download times are just so much better so this might not even be an issue. Love the video man!
Do games cost money? Does it do NES?
@@paedahe4975 You can run emulators on it yes.
Great video. Thank you for you radvices! Got my Steam deck 2 days ago.
Great suggestions - I'll definitely grab a few of the things you recommended!
Super informative video. Great job.
The powerbank trickle charging was very good bro. thanks mwuah
Great tips! I have had my Steam Deck for a few months now and LOVE it! The Steam Deck has to be one of the most consumer friendly portable gaming devices out there in addition to being a great gaming value. Thanks again and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
😊m😊
I have the etched glass witj the etched glass screen protector, and it looks excellent.
Im a console gamer and my steam deck turns up this week, appreciate the tips as Im not p.c savvy and extra protection advice, I'm the same with every phone so saves me searching when you have dropped links to make life easier. Thanks.
I think a good benefit is a lot of older titles are on Steam go pick up Fallout 3 Mad Max that generation of games is great on the steam deck the battery life is phenomenal I'm talking about getting AAA games from 360 games
This was fantastic. Thanks for putting out these vids in the deck. You’re touching on all the topics that I would want to know about ahead of purchasing one of these.
Glad it was helpful!
Bro what's the game with the swordsman in your vid? Looks good.
Love your high Quality content!!
I am getting a Steam Deck Oled for Christmas, is that RDR2 footage real gameplay on SteamDeck or pre Recorded?
its real gameplay! RD2 works great :)
@@sam.alexander.reviews cant wait to get mine this looks so great😃😃😃
I have an question about the battery or system of the steam deck overheating I play my game on the steam and after maybe 2 hours or so the deck freezes and I have to get an hard reset on the power button. Is there something to use to prevent it from getting too hot?
Picked up the 1TB OLED, snagging an SD card -- no need for the screen protector with the etched glass. Amazing suggestion with the 30w power adapter 😂
I got a cheap little hub that clips on to the back of mine. It's small and light and while it only has a power passthrough, HDMI, and 2 USB-A's, for sub $20 it's been a lovely little way of getting my games onto a TV or transferring data on and off. It even has a kickstand! Point is that you don't need to get the ones he recommended but something that gives you HDMI, and at least one USB if not a couple is going to be desired eventually.
Saving up for it! It looks awesome! What if valve made there own laptop with steam OS? Steam deck looks so good
Looks like that first quote that you said about needing protection flew over alot of peoples head hahahaha
Just got mine yesterday been playing non stop since 256gb version
whats that first game u played?
Thanks for this! Super helpful!! Which revodock do you personally use?
i mostly use the 210 since i dont have a monitor that uses display port
You had me at dreamy eyes & man bun
😘
Eldenring is not that big its about 55 gigs and it also supports HDR for the OLed owners
i dont have a deck but your content is so awesome, im excited to cop one.
Glad you enjoy it!
i think that you won't need decky, because valve added some new stuff when the oled steam deck released so you canright out of the box change the settings of saturdation rgb and other stuff
Thinking to get 512 gb oled but have some concerns.
So there is still a chance for Thumb stick drift ?
Also a bit concerned about the dead pixels and headphone jack issues. Are the new batch of steam decks have less issues that i mentioned ?
I have on,y had my OLED for ONE day so take what I say lightly but, from what I understand, stick drift will always be possible. But, I hear that Valve makes it easy to open it up and replace each stick. And as for your other concerns, you can always just return it and place another order if that is an issue. But mine seems to be perfect out of the box and I've had a blast playing Lethal Company and CSGO2 so far. I'm a console gamer and I got it to be my first "pc" and it is great in docked mode. I plugged in an apple Magic Keyboard I had laying around and a cheap mouse I had and it works like a dream
I got 1tb, screen protector works exactly the same
You can hookup a lan cable with a dongle for faster download speed then wi-fi
Cannot emphasie the importance of the SD card for steamdeck. It took me all of 24 hours to fill it and I mostly play indies these days 😢
As far as storage is concerned, not only would I urge Steam Deck buyers to buy the biggest SD card they can, but also by the biggest 2230 SSD they can too.
Not to mention, there are clip-on Steam Deck docks that have USB inputs, so you could also get some low-profile USB flash drives and use those for even more storage.
My steam deck arrives tomorrow, I got the 1tb version so I'm not sure if I should buy a screen protector or not 🤔
kinda depends how rough you're going to be on it, honestly with the etched glass, i'd probably not get a screen protector and just risk it, you can get a etched glass screen protector, but when you have them "doubled" i believe it makes the clarity a bit worse
Thank you for responding, I did a bit of research online and there seems to be an agreement on not getting a screen protector for the etched glass version. I will be leaving it on the case whenever I'm done playing anyways so I think I should be fine
So does this mean with my 1TB OLED I basically shouldn’t protect it unless I’m fine with a decrease in screen performance ?
I just ordered the OLED and I will be playing solely at home anyway so might be truly better to not use protection 😅?
Jasux do a etched screen protector you can't even see. Also. They do a great case
JSAUX
This guy is so right about the steamdeck dock. It is a huge pain in the ass to set up and has a bunch of annoying issues with some tv (like mine. I have to unplug the stupid thing from the wall every time I want the HDMI to actually work).
Why are the bezels smaller in the thumbnail?
i have a 1tb LE oled and i prefer a glossy screen protector lol
When you are using the UGREEN Revodok Pro 313 with the steam deck, do you have to plug the short type c that comes with the dongle into the steam deck or can I just run a separate type c between the dongle and the steam deck and have it work?
as long as the type c cable can do high speed data, it should be fine, i haven't tested that for myself though so i cant guarantee it
@@sam.alexander.reviews I have a 10 foot cable that says it's 60w so I assume it would be fine. In my experience, to play my steam deck on the tv from the couch I have to have a really long HDMI cable to reach the couch that gets plugged into the UGREEN. Then I need a power cable for the UGREEN thats long enough to plug into the wall, and then the short 8" usb-c that comes out of the end of the UGREEN and goes into the steam deck. Unfortunately, this seems to be the only way it works on the TV. My hope was I have the hub and I just run my 10' usbc to my steam deck and done. Sadly, doesn't seem to work.
I want a steam deck but OLED is a bit out of my budget. Is the LCD version ok? Or is it just better to save and spend the extra $150? I swear it feels divided between both. I don’t play much indie stuff. Want it for AAA and emulation
Do not buy the LCD. I just ordered an OLED yesterday. I did a bunch of research and the OLED is far superior in all aspects especially for AAA. It’s a bit more but you definitely won’t regret it according to every review.
i sold my LCD and have an oled now. i bought the 1tb, go with the 512. i didnt notice a difference in performance between the two when docked, but the oled is far superior in its hand held experience. the screen is just better all the way around, wifi is faster. the money you save over the 1tb you can put towards a 2tb drive.
Dude you should really just wait until you can get the oled. It's not worth buying the lcd as your first steam deck
The LCD is still the amazing steam deck that it was when it came out, the oled marginally improves a bit of everything and just mainly makes the screen a LOT better but ask your self this, how often will I use this, and do I even need the 500gb model, I already know all the games I'll be playing on this device and I have SD cards laying around that will happily hit 100Mb/s so i'm taking a 64gb model, I'll likely only be using this when i'm in bed, at a friends house, in transit, or at a hotel, which are all places I can charge the deck, scenarios where the OLED doesn't really get to swing its weight as much, however if this is a device you plan on using quite often as almost a PRIMARY device absolutely just save up for an OLED, you'll appreciate its little extras FAR more than you would if you're going to be using this irregularly like me
I would keep saving until you could afford the Oled the display difference alone makes it worth it.
perfect timing
Emudeck? I have a lot of Wii U roms
Let me tell you, through my own actions my steam deck oled fell on concrete from a few ft up, and the screen was SPOTLESS. There were marks on my L1, and on the casing both front, and back. Not the screen though, not one scratch
Awesome video! You will have 1 million subscribers in no time. Keep it up 👍
🥲 hope so, thank yoU!
i dont like screen protection on deck, idk, this completly change the clear view of the screen for me and also touch work worse
I have watched hundreds of videos about the Steam Deck and this is one of the most useful. Great content, thanks!
But should I get a screen protector if I have the top edged glass one?
You can, I probably wouldn’t though
use a dongle,/dock to use ethernet for downloading is a great thing :D
HELL YEAH BROT--- hang on, wrong guy. XD
This guy gives off such wholesome vibez
If you have a lot of games on steam get the 1TB if you plan on downloading a bunch of games. Then a 1tb micro sd as well
good video, good recomnendation from experience~~!
Glad it was helpful!
I just downloaded Red Dead 2 on my 1tb Deck, and it was about 120 gigs...insane
Also keep in mind that there are unofficial versions of Proton. If your game is struggling it could be a Linux compatibility issue. Try all the versions of Proton including the current beta to see if they work then if they don't, carefully look around online for unofficial versions, which tend to optimize in different directions. That unverified game might work wonderfully with a bit of investigating and a little tweaking.
Does the keyboard come with the mouse or are they sold separately?
sold separately
Ok I was recommended the same brand mouse on Amazon so I bought that as well
Okay random question. What games are you showing on here? lol I know Red Dead and Elden but there was a few I didn't xD. Anyways thank you for the video! Getting the 1TB Steam Deck here in the next few weeks!
i labeled most of them! did you have any specifically?
@@sam.alexander.reviews I think I found it haha I might of missed it if you showed it xD but it was Yet another Zombie survivor iirc lol
I think I'm gonna disagree with you on the dongle vs the official dock. In the footage, you showed someone using the deck as the controller and casting the footage to the tv, and while some people will prefer that, others will prefer to use a Bluetooth controller over the decks controls.
Docking it to a monitor implies you're cool with having it turn into a console, and every console comes with a separate controller
Great tips, but it would also be helpful to put the names of the games you're showing gameplay of if they're featured on the screen. Some of the games looked interesting but I have no idea what games they were. I'm sure the devs would love it also!
What is the game you are playing in the start? Looks really fun!
red dead 2!
Sorry, i mean the game at 0:28!

Upgrading the internal SSD is very easy, but the part that worried me was reimaging the Steam OS to that SSD. I finally found 2 videos that Sabrient put out (one for SSD install and one for the OS - th-cam.com/video/WJW99n5bPNM/w-d-xo.html). I now have a 1tb 2230 in the deck along with three 512mb microSD cards (I like having LOTS of options.....).
Is there a way to have the deck download in sleep mode? I can't find anything
Yes, but you can only do it in desktop mode. Go into desktop mode, open up settings, energy saving (search "power" if you can't find it), you want to go to the "on ac power" tab and set dim screen/screen energy saving to 1 minute. Now just plug in your steam deck to charge, open up steam in desktop mode, set up your downloads, and after 1 minute your steam deck screen will turn off while still downloading.
You can only do this while it's got the charger plugged in, if it goes to sleep without charging it saves power by not having anything running like the wifi
What game were you playing at 3:30
soulstone survivor :)
What's the main game you are playing in the vid with the sword play?
top down 3rd person? soulstone survivors!
@@sam.alexander.reviews nah the 2d side scroller. Geezer like a samurai. Looks good... And I found soulstone cause of you. Getting on that. Thanks for the reply.
@@TT-xm3vqthat was Elden Ring
What's the game being played starting at 3:25?
Soulstone survivors!
Thank you so much! Great video man!
The Steam Deck is absolute GOD tier. Sold all my consoles. It plays everything I want 😊
Could i use the 65w ugreen plug to charge the deck
yup!
@@sam.alexander.reviews i just got the oled 1tb steam deck and want to put sd card in it, would this card be ok. Lexar PLAY 1TB microSDXC UHS-I-Card, Up To 150MB/s Read, Compatible-with Nintendo-Switch, Portable Gaming Devices, Smartphones and Tablets U3 A2, thankyou for any help in advance.
Idk how anybody wouldn’t have a microSD card lol. That’s wild. Good video mate.
because i installed a 2TB SSD
i wanna get the 2 tb SSD so bad... i dont need it. i dont need it.
I got a 2TB installed and a 512GB for my roms and emulation. So dope.
I have problem with my storage after downloading games.There is something called “others” that’s taking a lot of memory and i just can’t figure it out how to get rid of it
”Others” is the OS and stuff.
Can someone please tell me the game at 3:36?? Please?
Soul stone survivors! It’s kinda like vampire survivors
Here's something I recommend, immediately set up your desktop. Install Emu Deck and get some retro games running. You can have a bunch of old games taking up hardly any space and it doesn't take long to get them set up. Add the emulators as non-Steam games. Then go back to big picture mode, go to downloads and set it so the things can download in the background while games are running. Now you can play some old classic games while you're waiting for your PC games to download. Once you start playing PC games, you'll probably want to switch downloading while playing games back off.
I try to wait a year before I play a title. It makes it cheaper and the games are much more stable.
I got the 64gb version and swapped the ssd to a 1tb ssd and used a ssd card cloner tk set the partitions
there we go!!
@@sam.alexander.reviews without it the process is hard
You can download while having the screen off, it just has to be done in desktop mode and have the power cable plugged in all the while. If you go into desktop mode, go to settings, find energy saving, and select the "on ac power" tab. Set the dim screen and save energy to 1 minute. Now just put the charger in your steam deck, open steam in desktop, set up any downloads, and after 1 minute your screen will turn off while still downloading your games.
4:31 OMG the hight of that wide screen monitor mounted on that wall. It's advised to have the middle of a screen at the hight of the eyes of the viewers. Watching up like that is bad for the neck.
the deck not allowing downloads while sleeping is a major fatal flaw imo considering burn in exists (and Burn in is VERY easily testable for a company so they know it happens). I was disappointed that in sleep mode you cant see the battery level. Give me a short cut or something in sleep mode where it flashes the battery level once. like phones how you can tap screen or tap button. you don't have to power into the device every time you wanna just check the battery level when charging. Make it sound like I hate it. I really love it ik im just tech spoiled. the software will catch up to what we are use to ig.
0:30 what game is it?
soulstone survivor!
You are one of the most cheerful people covering SD-related topics, kudos for that, bro!

Great Video, throwing a subscribe your way. It would be awesome if you could just put a small little text on what game you are previewing on your shots. Just a little quality of life in the vids. Will help you stand out from all the other creators. Also, great sponsor plug in. Didnt have to skip 🤣
Thanks for the tip! i'll try to add the game names :)
Why is the steam deck oled cheaper in the states? for me it's 569 euros instead of 549 dollars. it's honestly a big difference.
Because in the EU store the sales tax is included. This is not the case in the USA page.
@@KyekOfficial ahhh bet
So no steam deck screen protector for 1b steam deck?
eh, up to you, i'd probably risk it
@@sam.alexander.reviews okay
you really like Dead Cells hahah I'm still waiting for the Castlevania DLC to sale
niiiiiiice, yeah its a solid game
Salut j'ai acheté un moniteur mobile avec juste une sortie pour câble je c pas comment faire pour jouer avec un support il possède aussi qu'une sortie pour l'alimentation. je veux utiliser mon clavier et ma souris ?☹️ mon moniteur est un Asus ZenScreen MB16ACV.
Wow i never thought someone would use it so heavy as a “switch” and multiplayer device. In my head steam deck buyers are people who already have a half decent gaming pc and don’t meet up with RL friends to play games that don’t own at least their own gaming system to play with friends. I wonder how i will use mine when it arrives this week. Good thing I already have a usb hub with 1 hdmi 1 power delivery and 1 usba. That does the trick along with my gaming pc.
No screen protector for me
I work while listening to youtube videos, that jocker laughter at 7:17 gave me a jump scare..tf
😂
Dude that tv might be too high o.o
Steamdeck OLED already covers most of the points raised in this video, e.g. storage capacity, battery life, charger cable length... anyone with a base model LCD Steamdeck would be way better off just selling it and upgrading to OLED instead of buying accessories.
Buying persona 3 4 and 5 is the most important thing
What's that first game thought it was Diablo at first
soulstone survivors!
This is a good video. A really good one. But guys, please don't spend $130 on a dock. There are docks literally half this price that have all these ports.
holy shit its just an advert for loads of perephirals
Bro why u saying congratulations like I just had a kid 💀
This guy lowkey looks like Cleetus 👀
I've heard stories of ppl installing ssd drives and some say it burns up the usbc controller board and some say installing a new ssd is great. Can anyone comment on this? I don't wanna destroy my Steam Deck.
i haven't had that experience, i put in my own SSD too
How did you download COD?
its on steam!
The family looks upset. Then he's happy with family. Can't get these items
Your TV is way too high that's insane!
Can you please do the “Download games in sleep mode on Deck”. Really need that, thx!
Wait a min, how you downloaded call of duty
its on steam!
Don't use "joysticks adapters". Idk why he didn't say that, but you will not be able to use gyro with these adapters on. When you just place your finger on a joystick, gyro is turning on
good point i should have included that!
i dont use gyro too much so i didn't notice
