I'm one of those weirdos that never thought the screen looked bad to begin with. I'm interested in the upgrade of course, but I can give it another year. The software upgrades alone make it feel like I'm running a new Steam Deck compared to when I got it 1.5 years ago.

I'm more interested in battery life and weight reduction. The better screen is secondary.

Is it weird that I want the nested carrying case as much as any of the other upgrades?

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah... That is nice... People downvoted me on reddit back in the beginning when the original released for wanting a more compact case for throwing in a Backpack..... "Why would you want a case, it has a case that is perfect already....", "Why would you want something that protects less..." ... Ugh...

I bought a MEPETEM-Steam Deck Protective Case and love it. My deck now takes up as little space in my backpack as possible.

Yeah I personally have the dbrand one bit yeah plenty of options nowadays. But it's nice valve offers something as well.

Those software updates are going to soon make the screen look a bit better too as SteamOS 3.5 adds saturation and colour temperature tuning settings.

I got it only a few months ago. I can wait a while for another. I'm still impressed what this little bugger can do. Also, then again I never bothered with the Switch OLED neither so I may not be the best.

[-] omeara4pheonix@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

The OLED seems to be more of a power consumption upgrade. The resolution is the same. Sure you will get more color depth with the OLED but it probably isn't worth the upgrade if you already have a deck. If they offer the new screen as an after market upgrade that may be worth it. But I'm the meantime the deck HD has a higher resolution.
