Im still using my LCD version and not plan on upgrading until the next model after OLED. What about you?
Me! 🖐️ Having just got a shiny new oled telly box I thought I’d want to throw up every time I looked at the LCD deck but…I’m still enjoying it! Also loving the new control over the screen’s colours.
I never really go for the mid-life refresh models of anything. Much prefer the generational jumps in performance over the refinements.
Perfectly happy with my LCD as I’ve fine-tuned everything and have a OLED TV for couch play
I never buy refreshes of devices I will only buy the equivalent of a Steam Deck 2 whatever it will actually be called
In Australia, the LCD is half the price of the OLED.
So I have 2 LCD’s instead. (Win/SteamOS)
The colors in the LSD version are vibrant enough for me
Keeping mine until Steamdeck 2. I’m a PC enthusiast not a Switch owner, to justify a new build I need significant performance of 15% or more. I use Xreal Air’s anyway which are OLED 120hz screens.
Grabbed a Legion Go for that reason and own a plethora of PC handhelds.
I won’t upgrade for OLED. I have an OLED monitor and yeah it looks awesome but not to the point I would replace what I have.
I have no plans to upgrade. Sure, it would be nice to have all the fancy new features of the OLED, but its not worth paying full price again.
I don’t plan on upgrading because I usually don’t go for “.5” versions if I already own the first one. I’ll upgrade when/if Steam Deck 2 happens.
I still think my LCD screen is awesome. I’m not upgrading. My deck feels brand new for a 1 year old device.
I was really on the fence, but the main draw of it for me was the backlight versus the OLED. I use ReShade’s HDR Shader and Vibrant Deck in just about every game it will work with. Over time, all that effort and adjustment adds up.
Another thing is after having my LCD for over a year, i told myself I would upgrade the SSD to 1TB around this time. A 1TB upgrade is going to cost me $150 CAD from amazon after tax plus the hassle of installing it. So that closes the gap in cost between the $3-400 difference in the price if looking at the 1TB OLED.
I play on my External Display most of the time, so battery life isn’t a huge thing, but I do play occasionally in my car when parked somewhere etc. So it’s a small consideration.
And the next thing while small also, is still a factor. And that is renewed warranty. That is another year of coverage for replacement/fixes if something happens; whereas if something happened to my LCD in the next year, that’s out of pocket to fix or replace.
And then there is the heat and quiterfan.
I haven’t upgraded yet, but the points in favor of it is heavy. I doubt I can hold out till a new version, which will be probably1.5-2 years away at least. And the longer I wait, is the closer to the next release, so sooner I upgrade the more value out of it I get. Probably will in December; possibly wait till Boxing day to see if they have a special sale.

1TB MP600 is $109.99 on Amazon right now. That’s $126.49 with 15% sales tax if you live in the Maritimes, and obviously less if you live in other parts of Canada.
Just because it is on sale now, doesn’t mean it was always on sale, or always will be that price.
The point of the mention, was simply to indicate that the price of the OLED upgrade is offset by a cost I’d otherwise have to pay if not; not about the granular details of the best/worst price of an SSD.
So… you are upgrading…? This was the longest, vague, and most unclear post I’ve read on this subreddit, it’s actually impressive
Still happy with lcd version. I never really have had any issues with the screen. But now after latest firmware updates, the screen got even better with display color settings.
Wait there’s settings to make mine nicer? I do admit I was bothered by this new version and considered selling mine to upgrade, but I don’t use it hardly enough as it is as I’m always by a console or PC. I convinced myself to wait until the next actual major release.
I feel like this and my OLED is arriving tomorrow.
I’m sure it’s going to be an upgrade, but since the update I’m not sure it’s going to be a £600 one… (which it’s near enough to, in the UK).
Well, £479 without the 1TB drive. Anyway do what I did, sell the old one to offset the cost. Got £240 for my 256GB one after eBay fees.
I just got into the Steam Deck with the price drop on the old models, so I won’t be upgrading for a while.
Either way the LCD looks good, the blacks are fine and I’ve still really enjoyed it so far.
Me. I don’t even use the onboard screen anyways. Mine is hooked to my TV with a keyboard, mouse, and controller hooked up to it.
Who actually uses the screen anyways?
