This is talking me out of getting one. I wished it had an OLED last year when I got it. At this point I don’t use it enough and will wait until either a more powerful model or lower priced model (256GB?) or used market to have good deals. Definitely won’t be this year.
I am more considering getting an OLED portable monitor because I’d be able to use it with a variety of devices including Steam Deck. I understand that wouldn’t be used completely handheld but it would fit my portable use case (usually in a car or bed and sitting up when I’m using my portables). Considering I need to wear readers for handheld display close to my eyes, having a larger display further away is better. I There have some good deals lately but seems to be flaws so I haven’t pulled the trigger. I have a 15” LCD portable monitor right now.
Depends on what games and what performance you expect. I was playing docked to TV when I played stuff with my son, and it worked well. I have/had a full powered gaming PC in another room. I ended up building a second PC for the TV room because while the Steam Deck experience was good enough for a lot of games, I wanted higher frame rates (1080p@60Hz plasma TV so don’t need much).
As others have said, LCD models are worth it right now, especially if you’ll be playing portable a little.
