MODERATORS
I don't visit this website because of their bullshit cookie banner, but this product seems to make very little sense anymore.
Prior to OLED? Sure. But now it probably costs about the same to sell your LCD and upgrade to OLED, not to mention the time and risk involved in swapping the display, and not to mention you would still have a superior display in the OLED, and not to mention the dozen other improvements in that model.
You missed the Firmware Changes that must be redone every single time there is an update.
Not to mention the performance hit at 1200p
Yeah I’m confused, my SteamDeck seems to do fine at 720-900p depending on what I’m playing, but any higher resolution and it’s going to tank pretty hard.
The DeckHD is definitely a much nicer screen than stock. The improvement visually feels like going from a Nintendo switch LCD to OLED. But it was a bit involved to install (more comparable to cell phone repair than laptop/pc, think multiple layers built around a frame with heavy use of glue). I haven’t seen a Steam Deck OLED in person but it seems to be as good as DeckHD’s LCD offering. I primarily use Win 11 so the extra pixels were more useful for desktop use than for gaming and/or may be more or less useful in SteamOS, but I haven’t felt any performance hit that some reviewers have mentioned.
I don't get the obsession with high res screens for portables. The dpi is already so high that you can't really see a difference, plus you're gonna be taking a pretty significant hit to performance and battery.
I mean.. the screen is already pretty amazing.
