Steam Deck OLED Review: 6 Months Later!

Steam Deck LCD was the v0.5
Steam Deck OLED is the definitive v1.0

I was wondering how you think of the text size situation with steam deck. I use a steam deck LCD and I’ve played about 15 games on it, and about half games have this text size issue. With text being too small and UI scaling designed without considering portable form factor, it causes significant eye strain for me with only an hour of gaming or less. I find it pretty frustrating as a lot of the games runs really well performance wise, but turns out to be unplayable for me because of text size, and that account for nearly half of the games that I’ve tried so far. One great example is Monster Hunter World. I love this game, but I can’t play it because of this issue.

Damn I want to sell my LCD to get OLED now thanks

Hi. Is this steam deck oled 512gb?

I regularly worry about burn in and overall wear and tear on my OLED deck, but then I remember Valve has done a TON in terms of user repair-ability, obviously it's not the same for everyone, and that's perfectly fine, it's always okay to have the opinion of, 'I paid money for it, it shouldn't have (major) problems and I shouldn't have to fix it myself.' But if anything happens to my deck, I can always order official parts and follow official guides to fix the deck regardless of what's wrong. My only worry is since I have the limited edition, if I buy new parts, they're gonna be the regular SD parts and not any of the LE parts (Which I mean is really only the shell, joysticks, and rear vent, but still).

love your videos :)

Sold my Steam deck after getting the Ally. Its just far better in many ways. The sound is at least twice as good and games run more smooth. All games work on the Ally because they were made to run on windows. The Rog Ally 2 will be out shortly to keep it in the lead.

Anyone know the name of that dungeon crawler type game he was playing? Thanks

We need windows audio drivers!

got my Deck OLED on launch in U.S base model, Still use it pretty much every day. Such a game changer for PC gamers

great Dark Souls machine

dont forget the outdated hardware wich struggles playing newer games.....

Smartphone: 3+ colour options
Steam deck: Black or Black

No outdoor shoots?
There the brighter/cooler oled should massacre the LCD.

I hope more linux hardware like this succeeds, sending good vibes to the orange pi neo and any company that releases affordable linux hardware.
