took me a while to realize this was an ai voice and im actually upset lol

[jordirapper]

Right but all these things are better on the oled version. Battery, screen, color, controls, framerate.

[davaris]

It's better because it's cheaper now and I only had the money for this old entry model anyway. 😂

[SirRyanOrion]

Old? This came out in 2022. The Switch is old, Steam Deck is not.

[allhandsonsteamdeck]

Its actually 349$ for the 64gb model until they run out completely super deal

Before I say anything, no matter which version you have you're still apart of the Steam Deck family and thats what matters! We buy it because we love the handheld experience!

Now, one point I do have to make about the Oled eventho it is a good upgrade they did on the battery, screen, heating system etc.. is that OLED is way more likely to burn in with time. This could also happen via outside light shades on the screen, but extensive usage will ultimately start putting blue and yellow ish points all over your screen. It is a nice and vibrant technology, even using less power, but i do sadly have to say that OLED screens are less sustainable after time then LCDs are.

If you wish to keep the console for a long shot, I recommend getting the LCD due to the screen being a heavy replacement hitter on the OLED. It is more expensive and all that.

Anyways, I have my LCD ready to game all day any day baby, and I love this thing! I'm glad to be apart of this amazing community, so let's not make a race about it but enjoy it together! Once the Steam Deck 2 comes out (which is not soon at all), we can talk about upgrading then fellas:)

You have a good point. I do love the LCD, but I prefer the OLED! :3

[tschweet]

the oled def seems like an upgrade, went with the lcd anyways since its now a fraction of the price n theres currently more support/accessories for it from what ive seen. main thing that got me was that i could switch the shell to pink, doesnt look like thats really a thing for the oleds yet. maybe in a few months itd be more worth it to go for the oled, less hype makes the price lower a lil, plus id be able to do the shell swap lol

[kennypowers]

Oled is just a gimmick to me so I don’t mind the lcd lol.

[carlos]

i thought it would have actual advantages of the lcd over the oled, but there was only one thing: price. everything else listed also applies to the oled.

saying that, i'm still very happy with my lcd version and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get a deck at the lower prices.

[laurafreeland]

I got my steam deck 64GB last year; still works great, but I def have OLED screen envy :)

[Alorsabon]

steamdeck is just the best gaming device i have ( vs my ps5, high end pc ) If i have to keep just one consoles its my steamdeck ❤

[morpheusone]

Had mine since last January still use it to death too cost me 330 pounds things awsome

[Valkaze]

I've heard the LCD is easier to install and repair than the oled if thats even true? For me i dont need a fancier screen and wont make a huge difference anyways with the wifi speed and ram etc price though is a win for a snag

[fightnight]

Regretted my OLED purchase. The PWM is unbearable for me I could not play in handheld for more than 10 minutes. Might downgrade to the Lite but I'll miss the docking experience. I should have kept my LCD Switch!

[f.ferenc]

Got me the steam deck lcd for 370€.
Gonna stick with it untill deck 2 comes out.

[Shivam-cmue]

I recently became father, not getting my time on pc, which version should I go for LCD or OLED. I'm a little tight on budget too.

[MarksmansBeast]

I mean, I was able to snag the 512 LCD for 200 bucks really can’t beat that

[fredclark]

pixels tend to die faster on oled displays than standard led lcd thats the one thing they always leave out and that better color doesnt always last because some oled screens yellow over time too plus i dont know about other people but most oled screens give me a headache if i look at them for more than a few minutes

[amit_patel]

I'm just waiting for Steam Deck 2 lol. Hopefully 2026 🤞
