Hi all As many of us I migrate form the original steam deck to the new oled version. I did not anticipate the benefit of the small screen size increase… The screen fill so much bigger thanks to the 0.4inch increase!!! Of course the oled screen nice color are increasing this feeling.
It’s 0.4” in the diagonal so it means 11.7% more screen area (22.02 sqin vs 24.6 sqin) so it’s definitely noticeably larger.
Human detection is kicked in significantly when the difference is more than 7% hence this screen update is surely a notable one!
Kudos to steamdeck
This is really interesting! Where did you get the 7% metric? I’m just curious to read more.

The concept is called just noticeable difference. The 7% was sort of taught in my marketing class years ago before internet era but it just hung around in my mind. It probably refers to size or price ratio where we can shift it to shape behaviours without detection
