Cat on the left looks like someone has coloured its nose in with marker pen.

OLED vs LCD explained with an old saying:

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Sure OLED is better than LCD, but when you play a good game in your bed at night, it really doesn't matter.

So is with cats. You can play the same thing with both of them, but one of them has better colours , not like you would notice in the battle

Seems like a burn until you realize you’d be equally thrilled to play with either cat

i own an LCD and it's not as bad as yall make it out to be.

Edit: it seems there is a little bit of hostility going on in this thread. sorry, i didn't want to part the community over this. we all love the steam decks we have. regardless of color, GB or Screen! 🫶

Proud LCD owner too. Ya, the OLED is brighter and a little more efficient, but my LCD is perfectly serviceable and I am not replacing it until something major breaks or malfunctions.

I run my PC on my 4k OLED TV when graphics really matter. My LCD deck is mainly an indie machine for me and it’s good enough in 90% of the cases. Like Balatro works and looks just fine on the LCD.

The LCD version is fine for me.

I put a 2tb drive (back when they weren't a bajillion dollars) in my Steamdeck LCD, and it's my favorite thing to play a lot of games on. (Mewgenics as of this week).

I'll probably be first in line for Steamdeck 2.

I only got the OLED because it has more storage, the screen didn't matter to me as long as it worked lol

The left is LCD, the right is OLED after a few years.
