    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.

      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.

      The OLED seems to be more of a power consumption upgrade. The resolution is the same. Sure you will get more color depth with the OLED but it probably isn’t worth the upgrade if you already have a deck. If they offer the new screen as an after market upgrade that may be worth it. But I’m the meantime the deck HD has a higher resolution.

      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.
