I bought the limited edition OLED the day it came out. I dont know if I like it or not, because my girlfriend has been using it non stop since I bought it 😂 She was never a gamer before, but she absolutely loves playing on this. Id say it gets a big thumbs up!

I'm very happy that the OLED version got released. Gave me a chance to buy my LCD Deck cheap off eBay.

Putting that emoji after grippy is crazy

As a proud owner of both versions, I have to say I enjoy playing on the OLED model considerably more. I bought the Limited Edition OLED model on release day, and I've had no complaints. Maybe I'll give my LCD model to a nephew for Christmas or something.

As much as I'd like one of these new ones, i have only had my lcd for about a year, and it has never failed me once. I think I'll stick around for the steam deck 2.

Best thing about the OLED is that I was able to get a brand new LCD for a fraction of the price

I have the original.. and so happy with it

Na my old one works just fine, but that panel though :3

I ended up getting a virtually unused anti glare 512 gb lcd steam deck for $110. Phenomenal deal, and I use it every day.

Smaller nm process as well. Better battery life and larger battery. This was a big refresh

I'm perfectly happy with my original one thanks but I wouldn't mind that new 2 stage case though slimmer for traveling and more rugged for when you need that little bit of extra protection

I got the lcd version on my birthday and like a month later they dropped the oleds I tried contacting them to see if I could swap my model with one but they didn’t wanna do that 😂

Just sold my LCD version and ordered new OLED. Can’t wait!!!! 🎉

The most important difference I've experienced is 36 fps at 72hz. It's a game changer for battery life in fast paced games. Feels just as good as 60fps on the LCD model.

We had 40fps at 40hz on the LCD model but 36/72 is noticably more responsive on the OLED.

I just got the 1tb OLED deck in the mail today 🎉🎉

I just ordered mine on Friday the OLED I can’t wait. I haven’t played left for dead in a long time.😊

I bought the lcd model in November 2022. I don't play much on it, usually smaller games or when I'm away from home.
The upgrade to oled is not worth the money when i already have the lcd. And selling the lcd would at best get me half the price of the oled
So I'll just keep the lcd model and maybe buy the steam deck 2, if it comes out.

the subjective difference between 90 fps and 60 fps is huge, so 90hz is a big upgrade over 60hz. You will probably notice a bigger subjective difference between 60 and 90 fps than between 90 and 240 fps.

I know from first hand experience, as I have a 240hz display. I consider 90 fps to be a good target to shoot for when choosing settings in a game.

I've heard stories about OLED but this is the first video where I can really see the color depth

[TychoVan]

bought one but the screen has a massive mura effect (grainess) to the point where it objectively looks way worse than the lcd. Im returning it and gonna try to get a new one
