Pretty nice but unfortunately no shipment to EU :(
$140 seems like a massive rip-off, honestly.
Maybe if this was like, $50 I would consider this, but $140 is too much to ask just for a screen upgrade that people have to self-install.
Like, I have an LCD Steam Deck, and the screen does fine. Sure it would be nice if it was a bit brighter, but not for $140. I mean, a new OLED Steam Deck is $550 but includes performance, battery life, and WiFi speed increases as well, including a screen with a 90Hz refresh rate even if most games never reach that. Plus, this screen requires that I flash a custom BIOS, why would most people want to do that when they can just run the stock one from Valve?
I don’t see where this gives such a massive benefit over just buying an OLED model. Too much loss for not enough gain, IMO.
I dont get the hate for the lcd at all. I never have my brightness maxed out. I guess if youre like obsessed with HDR or something, but otherwise im perfectly happy with the lower price of the lcs, especially since i got it on sale when the OLED first released.
Don’t forget, there is a new steam deck refresh coming soon, so getting a new one will have even more benefits.
Source of that second refresh?
There were rumors yesterday about it after CES. It looks like Valve is denying it after AMD said there were new processors on the way for Steamdeck. I’m not 100% sold on the denial, I think it may have been some miscommunication on the timing of the news. Either way, that’s where I got it from, I just hadn’t seen the news today about them denying it yet.
