I really do like my OLED. But I think you have a couple of options:
I like mine (OLED) model because of the screen, battery life, my steam library on the go, emulation (this thing can play up to switch/ps3), and modding.
If those things also appeal to you it may be worth
That’s great! And I remember thinking the same with my LCD deck. Seriously nothing wrong with that. I’m not trying to shit on those who are fine with the LCD - I’m just saying if people were to upgrade I’m sure people won’t regret it.
Honestly, it depends on the value prop. The regular steam deck is still great. But I would say if you’re in the market for a new one having never had one definitely go OLED.
Upgrading really depends on your use case. I bought the OG 512 model. Loved it but really felt like I was being pulled to my other consoles to play on my OLED TV.
Now I find myself grabbing my OLED deck all the time. 90hz and the color really makes this thing shine. Compare that with the other 30+ improvements like battery life, faster charging, faster WiFi, and the quality of life improvements added up for me so I bought it.
I’m going to sell my old steam deck for $350 so really I’m paying ~$350 for this so it’s a steal. Or if you factor in the loss in value I’m basically breaking even.
The better screen really is that much better but it’s also my first OLED handheld (minus my phone). If you have a switch OLED it’s basically the same screen with HDR and 90hz
I would just look through popular on the sub. It was made in the last 3ish days
Yeah exactly. Like people’s biggest complaints about the LE are the BOE panel and the fact that it’s matte.
People could theoretically just wait, keep the LE shell and swap out for a glossy Samsung if the connectors and everything are similar.
Just a late night thought I had lol
I mean if you consider the switch the best - the Steam Deck at least one ups it by including 90fps and HDR.
Try a game like Ori and the Will of the Wisps or something that takes advantage.
If you’re playing games at 60fps and no HDR you’re going to get more or less the same I’d imagine.
I think that’s 4% - (20/500)
Of course. I know I felt like crap waiting and seeing the reports. It’s like buying an expensive car but expecting one of the tires to be popped or to find a scratch on the paint
I’d imagine there’s a higher concentration of LE buyers in this sub vs overall. Would be interesting to take a poll ….
Man I don’t even know how someone would get around to measuring the thinness of the case. Even if it was:
Wouldn’t it improve thermals and be lighter? Are those both great?
It’s really a non issue.
I am sure there’s some truth to it. But I also see the same people posting in every Reddit post about their dead pixels.
I am sure it is an issue but how much more of an issue compared to Samsung, who knows.
If anything my D-Pad is pretty firm
Have a tracking number but no delivery date yet 😭
Okay funny enough my first exposure to the series was on a jampack disk for my ps2 for Half Life 2
Okay so it depends on how you want things set up.
If you wanted integrated with Steam OS (you can access them from your game menu), then emudeck is a fantastic choice.
If you want a stand alone option, I think you can create a bootable batocera/emulation station SD card/drive to keep all your games separate.
Another option is sell something to make up the difference/close the gap.
I’m selling my old 512gb deck for $350 to a friend so it didn’t hurt THAT much to shell out for the LE OLED
