I’m perfectly happy with my 512gb and feel no need to upgrade. If you’re buying a new Steam Deck and have the money, it makes 100% sense to buy the OLED version. But upgrading for the sake of upgrading when you are perfectly happy with the LCD version before the OLED announcement is just wasteful consumerism.

All these posts are screaming LOOK AT MY NEW THING THATS BETTER THAN THE OLD THING!!! Yeah duh, the new Macbook is also better than the 2 year old model. Do we need 1000 posts comparing the upgraded one to the older one?

Just my little rant. I’m pretty close to unsubscribing from this subreddit that I’ve joined sinced I bought the deck at launch. Comparsion is the thief of joy. I like my older model and I dont need to spend more money for a better one. Keep it in the OLED megathread.

    its etched vs glossy. there is no comparison of lcd vs oled; oled is objectively better in every way.

    This post has everything. I love it.

    1. telling people what to do with their money (calling it wasteful consumerism is telling people what to do with money)

    2. OP can’t handle other people being happy about their decks and FOMO is turning into irritation

    I’ll agree with one thing though. People need to stop spam posting their decks. Jesus Christ. We know what they look like.

      OP is a bit of a mardy bum no doubt, but they (and you) are right about this. The moderation of this subreddit is dire. There are so many utter shit posts that they drown out legitimate/interesting discussion or news.

      I’d love to unsubscribe but occasionally there are really great posts with valuable information that you won’t find elsewhere. I’ve learned quite a bit from clever folk posting to this sub.

    I’m sick of people feeling the need to justify why they are ‘perfectly happy’ with their LCD model. Who gives a fuck? If you want the OLED, buy the OLED. If you’re happy with what you’ve got, cool. That’s it.

    Let people be happy. Nobody is making you buy a new Deck, they’re just excited about their new Decks.

    You’re happy with your LCD Deck and they’re happy with their new OLED Deck. Both of these are fine.

    I do see a flood of comparison posts but they are nowhere as bad as the glossy vs etched posts. I just keep scrolling past. No need to click on them lol.

    I‘m just bothered I can‘t find a battery life comparison, which is my biggest complaint about my Deck.
