Well it's official: I'm a Steam Deck owner again. Today we take a look at the Steam Deck OLED and I ponder the path that led me back here. For some reason I compare it to the Nintendo Switch OLED. Don't try to think too hard about it.

Correction: My first Steam Deck was a 256GB model. I'm sure I will add more... Also the OLED comparison is pretty much useless: If you dont have an OLED screen you likely don't have the color range to see it. Plus my aging iPhone SE prolly does not have that color range. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Great review! Been thinking of getting an OLED model! Had an ROG Ally, sold it for the Legion Go, and then went back to the Ally, so I've had a similar story with these devices. I'm happy with my current Ally, but wouldn't mind getting a Steam Deck to try out along side my Ally as it's the only one I haven't fully tried yet!

I'm glad I'm not the only one lol.

I have my original 256gb steam deck and it's still rocking, I haven't really needed to upgrade yet. Let's see what 2025 brings.

@Retr0Rob Месяц назад

This is the sane approach!

Steam deck 2 выйдет не раньше 2027-2028 года

Same! Love my 256g

More strength than I. Just bought the 1tb OLED upgrading from my launch 256

I enjoy my Steam Deck but mine is crippled by the "Other Files" storage space issue. Every single game of mine is on a MicroSD yet the Deck builds a ton of files for each of those games on the internal HD. I bought the 64GB version and the "Other Files" takes up 28GB, which is crazy and doubly crazy since all the games are on external storage. The system should be smart enough to build the Other Files on the related SD cards.

I went from the original Steam Deck to an Ally to the Legion Go. Now I have an OLED Steam Deck coming Saturday. I'm taking a different approach in that pick up and play ability is more important to me than power. I found that I wouldn't use the Windows devices as often as I'd like because it takes so long to get in the game that I'd rather just fire up my desktop. I've used my switch way more because of this issue. The battery life is a pretty big deal and I'm also a sucker for anything OLED.

For me I've given up on the steam deck....My first experience was the 64 gb with shader cache taking all the room even with the 1tb sd card so I sold it for the 256gb which worked until..... The black screen of ☠️ death unresponsive even with the charger plug in. Sadly nothing I did could get my recently purchased steam deck to respond and come back on 😢. No three strikes your out for me, I will just save up for the rog ally or legion go and go windows....I tried but failed with the steam deck but I'm happy you and others enjoying the deck.👍

I'm sorry to hear about all the issues you had with it. The good news is that there are a lot of handheld PC gaming devices out there, and there is surely one that will work out for you. It's good to have this many choices.

@Thump2030 Месяц назад

My fav gaming device at the moment is the GPD Win Mini, I love it.

The Steam Deck Oled is just a better overall experience than the OG. I like the non glare display when I play my Switch Oled the reflective display can be a little annoying sometimes depending on the lighting. In your head to head with the Switch display I think the city and the night time sky looks better on the Steam Deck.

@Retr0Rob Месяц назад

I agree on the matte screen. I had the glossy one on the last Deck and this is definitely an improvement.

@hilmalumay Месяц назад

GPD was the pioneer on the handheld windows gaming market. Too bad they can't keep up with the competition

@brokenstyx Месяц назад

I watched this twice already xD thank you!

@Retr0Rob Месяц назад

Thanks twice then!

Bought a deck, still hated Linux and Linux hated me still too so useless as soon as I left steamOS. Went for the Ally and absolutely love it. Best screen in a handheld to date. No problem with my sd slot but not docking and running my ally higher than 22w. The Ally is so comfortable and windows touch isn’t half bad 😊

Rob great video, refreshing as an Ice Cold Beer 🍻 Happy Independence Day 🎉 🎆🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇

@Retr0Rob Месяц назад

Happy alien invasion day to you as well!!!

Also... Reason for sucking at the game during this video is "Game system held at inconvenient angle"

@zomg346 Месяц назад

If it wasn't for game pass I would stick to my OLED deck.gabe need to find a way for gameepass to be on steam or Linux for that matter

I'll have to continue resisting Steam Deck because the majority of my PC gaming play is through Epic. Why Epic? They have the exclusivity for the big mobile games' pc versions.

@Retr0Rob Месяц назад

You can totally do epic on Steam Deck, but it's much easier on the Windows handhelds. I like Epic - they have some awsome free games every month, and the sales are suoer good.

@Bears9McMahon Месяц назад

Nintendo should pay you to use this video to sell the switch… most people would rather just be able to pick it up and play. Not have to do all this tweaking unless you’re Miley Cyrus.🤪

OMG Bwahahahaha! I read that as "twerking" at first.
