Steam Deck OLED - Was it worth the upgrade from the LCD Model? 

Adore my OLED, screen is beautiful, the fan is almost silent now, battery is at least 30% better and it never gets hot anymore, absolutely love it

The one thing that hurts the most imo is the extended battery life i bit the bullet and just upgraded because of it, getting 3 hours instead of 1 1/2 hours in games like cyberpunk is an insane game changer on road trips/traveling

In my opinion, if you already have sd, stick with it. Still good enough. If you are newbie in handheld, get oled version or asus rog ally z1e

So much better on screen and stuff great upgrade!!

The OLED Deck is amazing. The biggest improvements are the battery life, screen image quality, and the cooler/quieter operation. It's my favorite gaming device ever.

When playing games like GTA 5. Did you experience better battery life than with the LCD model. Reason I ask is I found when I was playing GTA 4 on my LCD model I would get maybe 2-3 hours of battery life and the fan was running nearly non stop.

Thanks for the informative video, picking up the OLED Jan 24 😄

I'm lucky I live in Denmark, so the demand & supply scene is vastly different - I scored 400$ for my old Deck 💪🏽

I bought the LCD days before the OLED announcement (I didn't know the OLED is coming), I should have waited but oh well, I guess i will just live and be happy with the OG LCD version and wait for it to wear down, by the time it wears a newer higher-end model will be available and i can get that as an upgrade.

I pulled the trigger on the lcd model I got it refurbished for about $260 and I plan to only play it in the house on the couch and just added remote play to the ps5 it was just to good of a deal to pass up on but a part of me wants the oled lmao

I also got the new steam deck. It's really great. I highly recommend the anchor to try haolocm's ar screen protector, which can lower the reflection of the oled screen.

1TB is plenty with a micro SD card, you don't need to have every single game installed on the deck. I only generally play 3-4 games at one time.

HI I have the Original Steam Deck, A Rog Ally, and A Legion Go , Can I justify the Steam Deck Oled ???

I have the lcd steamdeck and am really torn between upgrading to the oled or just keeping my lcd version and getting the legion go! There’s so many mixed reviews on the legion go but it would be nice just to have 1 device that can play steam games and my Xbox in handheld mode since my family always occupies the tv and I’m the only gamer in the house.

The answer is YES. I saved you all 11 minutes

If I going to get the M3 Max 16 inches MacBook Pro which with the Mac Porting Toolkit can play a lot games I wanted already too, should I still get Steam Deck OLED which is more portable but I try not to get into digital content while outside and the screen still a small portable and won't perform as good if I want to plug it to TV to play like a home console which the MacBook Pro can?

Should wait for SD2 instead, although i don't even have the SD or the oled one

How much more grippy are the new thumb sticks? The lcd ones were just too slippery for me so i always had covers on them

What does LCD model mean???

I have an lcd model, i was thinking of upgrading, but then the MSI Claw is looking really good, and it comes out really soon

It depends if youre a Person who uses it on the Way for the most time like beign a Pilot or Travel Job then its totally worth it if you can afford it. Other View would be youre a Couch/Bed Potato and using it 99% at home the new Steam Deck is not worth it if you only play Singleplayer Games. As a Person who plays Multiplayer Games and is one the go a lot its totally worth it and vice versa.

Why does your Steamdeck seem weaker then deck wizards, he can run 90fps consistently on GTA meanwhile you get 50

With an honest review it's a *slight upgrade* I dislike how people exaggerate this thing like brain-washed fanboys this is why I can't even trust reviews online anymore unless I buy a product for myself🤦🏽‍♂️

Same king new crown is a hard subtitle

not good enough for me

Your review was going fine until you said that it wasn't enough to upgrade from the regular LCD to an OLED and I don't understand y'all RU-vidrs y'all get good money from here and you could afford it me but I can't afford it. I still find ways like selling my regular steam deck on Facebook Marketplace for $300 blind the 512gig GB OLED steam deck for $550 which means I basically paid 250 bucks for it plus tax. And now I'm enjoying the benefits of the OLED the 90 hertz the HDR on the same games which I have since I have a lot of Sony games. Since I don't have a PS5, I only have an Xbox Series X and it steamed it. It's insane that people are saying that it's not worth the upgrade. Yes it is. It's the definitive edition of what the SD should have been like so why not upgrade

Buy a ROG Ally, at least u have a PC. Steam Deck with only a screen upgrade and with a CPU from 2019 and a GPU from 2020 is not worth the investment at all.

Go still has a better screen. Hehe

Didnt buy the first one now im definetly gonna get this one

Quick question, was wondering about upgrading from LCD to OLED or should I keep the LCD and get the Legion Go, or Ally? Obvs going to cost me more to keep the current SD but don't think I'll get that much for it, as you say, market is flooded with the LCD version ATM.

Thank you for helping me choose my next handheld.

I’ve lunch lcd base model and I’m getting oled 512 gb for exact reasons as well 👍🏻

New to your channel looking forward to the content

Only upgrading because I have a Launch Steam Deck, and only a few games run fine before hardware issues attack.

Got my lcd deck 512 gb + 512 gb samsung evo micro sd card for 330 $ ,what do you think? I think its a sick deal ive been enjoying it😊 keep up the deck content ill sub!

I love the Steam os on my Deck, I wish I could have the official Steam os on my main pc, sadly it seems that Steam have abandoned the idea of releasing it for regular desktop. For now I have to stick with the immutable version of Holo iso I'm planning on getting the OLED Deck as well, and I'll probably give the LCD one to my sister, it was the 64GB but I upgraded to 1TB and it's an amazing device

i made a good decision of not getting the steam deck right after it was released...now i own the oled...and im pretty happy with it...same with playstation portal...im gonna wait until they fix the portals issues...like access to youtube compatible bluetooth full touch screen(which is ok if they dont fix it,but would be nice if its full touch screen) access to premium games not installed in the ps5...im fine paying for a more expensive portal as long as the issues are dealt with...

Thanks 😊

Awesome content keep them coming

I have been thinking of getting the OLED because my GF wants a steamdeck so I would just give her my LCD if I get the OLED. I use my steamdeck almost everyday, even when I am at my PC. It's just a different experience and feels good. For longer sessions it's PC gaming, if I am taking a break because I work from my computer it's great. I am also curious to see if Xbox is making one, I don't remember if they were rumors or it was announced but that would be cool too.
