I’m one of those weirdos that never thought the screen looked bad to begin with. I’m interested in the upgrade of course, but I can give it another year. The software upgrades alone make it feel like I’m running a new Steam Deck compared to when I got it 1.5 years ago.
I'm sorry little one...

I’m more interested in battery life and weight reduction. The better screen is secondary.

Those software updates are going to soon make the screen look a bit better too as SteamOS 3.5 adds saturation and colour temperature tuning settings.

I got it only a few months ago. I can wait a while for another. I’m still impressed what this little bugger can do. Also, then again I never bothered with the Switch OLED neither so I may not be the best.

I’m happy for new buyers getting a better deck that I got. That’s more of us to tell game devs “you will test and tune your game for the deck”. It means more games that work for me.

The number of “barely used” Steam Deck Kijiji/marketplace ads that shot up yesterday was incredible.

One was mine, but I just put great condition. I doubt it will actually sell for what I’m asking, but I’ll be cool with it either way.

debating on waiting for the steam deck 2. love the idea of upgrading to OLED but idk, i can’t be this fiscally irresponsible!

There is no steam deck 2 planned for years according to Valve.

Got mine a year ago and the OLED is really tempting. I’ve had the OLED switch and steam deck side by side and the screen on the switch is much better. What I’m hoping is that the screen is a drop in replacement option for the original.

Out of the box, no. But I know some tinkerer is going to figure it out. Will it ever be practical? Probably not. But I’ll enjoy seeing that Frankendeck.

I wonder if refurbished decks will be available in time for Christmas?

if they gave credit for an older one I would be way tempted.

I’ll wait another year for the AMOLED upgrade 🙏

I’ll wait another couple of years on top of that for a Risc V or at least arm deck

Did the exact same thing with the quest 2. Two weeks after getting mine they announced the quest 3. Had to wait a few months, but glad i did

I’m trying to save so I can get both the old and OLED. I’ll set em up on the shelf next to each other and then when I get a friend we can play together
GreenMario@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Had mine for a year and yep no I’m just gonna pretend OLED doesn’t exist.
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks ago
Got mine in August. Whatever, I’m happy with it. Fantastic controls
HoloPengin@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
This. Do I want an OLED deck? Yes. Do I need one? Absolutely not. I like my deck enough and I can wait for Steam Deck 2.
