I got the 1 tb OLED model. One of… if not the best piece of gaming tech I’ve ever purchased. I have a monster PC to play the really hard hitting demanding titles. This thing, though, has enabled me to go back and knock out some of that backlog of games. I also have a newborn baby and the ability to be able to put this thing to sleep real quick and pick right back up where I left off without a single hiccup is impossible to articulate the value. Until windows handheld can do something comparable, there is no way that I could possibly compare the two.

I bought a steam deck oled last month. Your videos helped me decide to buy the steam deck and helped me set it up.

I had the 64GB LCD model and loved it. When the OLED came out, I got the 1TB and sold my old one to a friend. The colors are amazing out of the box and I really appreciate the extra battery life and 90Hz screen 🤌🤌. Well worth the money for me!

I'm just here admiring your production quality. Good job.

My 3 observations after playing on SD OLED for a month and comparing it to my experience with original LCD model. It has obiously better screen(OLED vs poor sRGB 71% on SD LCD), greater battery life - easy to get 1 more hour on AAA games without any settings tweak and also quiet fans - they do not disturb you while playing and on LCD they were really annoyingly loud.

I'm not surprised that the PS4 had issues with Cyberpunk. The CPU was a massive issue for developers because it was so slow. It was also a 7 year old GPU by the time Cyberpunk had released and the Deck released in 2022.

The oled made certain games I didn’t like playing on the LCD version better. God of War, Spider Man, and even Helldivers was decently playable. I highly recommend it. The touch pads feel better, and it just feels improved after coming from the LCD.😂

I sold an LCD for an ROG Ally and I'm tempted to come back. I wish the Deck had more performance, because Windows on a handheld is doodoo. The Deck isn't perfect but there's a LOT to be said for things mostly just working (even though some things don't work at all but hey)

Me replaying the entirety of Elden Ring streamed from my ps5 with Chiaki to my OLED has been amazing. 7 hours of battery and zero latency. Best snd most versatile gaming device ive ever owned. Easily my favorite console.

2:40 This shot is amazing, it really drives home the difference

[Tobetheone]

Steamdeck doesn't pretend to be anything else it is an honest handheld. Sure, other windows handhelds have more performance, but if you can get past that and realise that more performance isn't everything, then it is a lot easier to respect the steamdeck oled for what it really is. It's the og of the handhelds and can flex itself as a near perfect handheld.

[PartyUpLive]

I'm trying to decide if I want to sell my 512GB LCD Steam Deck and get the OLED, or just wait and see what the next SD will be like.

I'm leaning towards just keeping my current one. If Valve had a trade in program I definitely would have done it already.

bro your production quality is top notch

[ekkaphetseangwanthet]

I got mine for few weeks now oled 1tb, it run cyberpunk better then my pc its insanely awesome man 👌 👏

[BullymongFur]

[Rash_s_]

[YetiMacheteHD]

tell me what game you are playing at 1:19

[johnathandaniel]

Awesome video! Can you name the games you were playing in the video? I saw some that I liked

[silentsun]

One of the things that doesn't get praised enough are the improved L and R buttons. They were awful on the LCD.

I usually play my games docked anyway. The key difference here in this upgrade vs the Switch OLED is the Switch OLED's docked experience would just provide me with 2 additional joycons to use, whereas the deck oled has more software features, like it let's me wakeup the console from across the room, COMPLIMENTING a docked experience! This is what a tech refresh should be!!! Wish phone companies were this cool with their midgen models 😂 good video! Your camera quality is very good 👍
