1 full week now into having my OLED LD. Previously sold my LCD.
Assuming one buys a Steam Deck because of daily responsibilities and life alone. Then consider the total time you would spend on the deck. After a long day of work. The few hours left after kids asleep. The few hours after partners content.
You deserve the superior OLED screen considering this is likely a full time substitute of a PS5/PC
Gaming experience and speed is far superior and noticeable than LCD
Heat and fan noise is reduced compared to LCD
Battery is superior and so important considering we primarily bought this for the purpose of mobility.
We’re all going to die one day.
You deserve the OLED! Don’t buy LCD as first timer. LCD remnants, seriously consider it!
What kind of consumerist nightmare is this sub turning into?
I’ve had my steam deck for 1 year and 2 months, I use it several hours every day. I expect to get AT LEAST 2 - 3 more years of use out of it before even remotely considering a next version.
Sure, everyone is different and if you decide that upgrading a device after only 1 - 1.5 years is worth it for you,by all means go for it! But please don’t pretend that it’s normal to treat such a powerful and amazing device as some kind of throwaway that needs an upgrade after just one year.
The LCD is an amazing device and that has not changed just because a slightly better version was released.
