At the time of typing this, the goal was dropped to $50k USD (from $56k), extended the campaign to January 30th, and is 99% funded.
I know, reddit bad, but the creator is active in the r/SteamDeck discord server if anyone has questions.
Edit/update: project is now fully funded!!!
I want to upgrade my steam deck, but I am not big on upping the resolution, nor would I choose to go to 16:9 over 16:10. Add to that the 140$ price point (which is probably a totally fair price, just not worth it for me), and this is a hard pass for me.
Totally fair, I don’t think I’ve seen a mod yet that’s for everyone. To some people there’s nothing wrong with the LCD Deck. To some people the OLED Deck makes more sense. Some people like OLEDs, hate black bars, and don’t see a reason to offload the LCD Deck that’s served them well for a couple years now. This mod is for them.
That’s completely fair. Not every mod for the steam deck is for everyone.
