It's better because it's cheaper now and I only had the money for this old entry model anyway. 😂

OLED may looks great, but the ‘burn in’ issues will happen over time

@rocknflip66 this the reason made me can't buy sd oled it's remembered me off old samsung android oled like note and s3 HDR oled was actually cheaper than any new oled by samsung and lg and I was used in 2009-2015 , even if they used super oled the test will be different on pc hand because phones less power and overheat

Right but all these things are better on the oled version. Battery, screen, color, controls, framerate.

I know what you are saying, but I do agree with Tech Consultant. The LCD it doesn't feel too much of the lesser console besides the OLED , even with the upgrades, unlike the 'normal' ROG Ally vs Extreme. Between those there is a major performance issue (see the CU count). Yeah, the new one has 90 hz, but that's not going to help at al if you play big titles, even 60 is hard for some games let alone 90 fps. A better battery is good for those that spend more time on the go (do a lot of train travel or need to daily comute to work/school long-ish distances by metro/bus/etc. If you just need a couple of hours to burn, the LCD is good enough. Also in my country, Romania (Eastern Europe) the Steam shows a price of 369 € for the 64 Gb new. I don't know fi that is the correct shipping price for my country, but I can find the 64 variant used with some warranty stil left for only 27-300 €. Sometimes at 300 € even new sealed with full warranty.

The oled is the same price as the lcd, can't compare to an upgraded edition because it's never been marketed as such. Wait until the deck 2 is out to compare

thats what you get from an AI channel.
Before I say anything, no matter which version you have you're still apart of the Steam Deck family and thats what matters! We buy it because we love the handheld experience! Now, one point I do have to make about the Oled eventho it is a good upgrade they did on the battery, screen, heating system etc.. is that OLED is way more likely to burn in with time. This could also happen via outside light shades on the screen, but extensive usage will ultimately start putting blue and yellow ish points all over your screen. It is a nice and vibrant technology, even using less power, but i do sadly have to say that OLED screens are less sustainable after time then LCDs are. If you wish to keep the console for a long shot, I recommend getting the LCD due to the screen being a heavy replacement hitter on the OLED. It is more expensive and all that. Anyways, I have my LCD ready to game all day any day baby, and I love this thing! I'm glad to be apart of this amazing community, so let's not make a race about it but enjoy it together! Once the Steam Deck 2 comes out (which is not soon at all), we can talk about upgrading then fellas:)
I got my steam deck 64GB last year; still works great, but I def have OLED screen envy :)
You have a good point. I do love the LCD, but I prefer the OLED! :3
the oled def seems like an upgrade, went with the lcd anyways since its now a fraction of the price n theres currently more support/accessories for it from what ive seen. main thing that got me was that i could switch the shell to pink, doesnt look like thats really a thing for the oleds yet. maybe in a few months itd be more worth it to go for the oled, less hype makes the price lower a lil, plus id be able to do the shell swap lol
Oled is just a gimmick to me so I don’t mind the lcd lol.

If you think its a gimmick you havent seen it
i thought it would have actual advantages of the lcd over the oled, but there was only one thing: price. everything else listed also applies to the oled. saying that, i'm still very happy with my lcd version and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get a deck at the lower prices.

yea the lcd version is great, same with the oled if you can afford it. but if you cant justify the extra price the lcd model is great too the biggest issue with the lcd version is well, the screen that only covers 70% of the srgb colour space but i mean if you are okay with colours looking a bit washed out its fine. plus you can use filters in steamos 3.5 to make the colours look significantly better even if the screen isnt displaying them correctly.

@@randomgamingin144p I got my LCD model about a week ago and I have no complaints with it so far! Yeah, I'm sure the OLED screen looks better, but the LCD screen seems just fine to me. For $399 I ain't complaining....especially when you look at the prices that just about any other company's handheld gaming thing is going for now!
steamdeck is just the best gaming device i have ( vs my ps5 , high end pc ) If i have to keep just one consoles its my steamdeck ❤
Just purchased used steam deck LCD 512 for $300 on macari. Super deal.

I bought the 1TB OLED for $600 along with a glass screen protector, a heavy duty carrying case, a beautiful galaxy skin, an external battery pack, 1 TB SSD card, an external cooling fan, a dock with 100 watt charging power and threaded cable, Resident Evil 4 remake, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Halo MCC, RDR2, and a bunch of indie games

On someone else's account.
pixels tend to die faster on oled displays than standard led lcd thats the one thing they always leave out and that better color doesnt always last because some oled screens yellow over time too plus i dont know about other people but most oled screens give me a headache if i look at them for more than a few minutes

The stream deck repairs/replacement is very user friendly. Even value sponsored iFixit.
I've heard the LCD is easier to install and repair than the oled if thats even true? For me i dont need a fancier screen and wont make a huge difference anyways with the wifi speed and ram etc price though is a win for a snag
Had mine since last January still use it to death too cost me 330 pounds things awsome
Fail video, the only thing going for the LCD over the OLED is if you can't afford the latter. I've owned both and there's no reason to go back, hell even your LCD SSD drops straight in so you can be up and running quikcly. I also like how the video uses a lot of OLED footage...
And a lot of games that are not approved by valve will still work with a little tweaking.
Oled always starts out better but most will end up with blue saturation issues making the screen yellow overtime and the organic materials will slowly decay over time leading to pixel death if I am paying over $500 for something the screen should last a while not just a few years

With modern tvs I agree it might take 10 years but most portable OLED screens in phones after about a year of normal use white is going to start looking yellowish compared to LCD but maybe valve sourced OLED screens that are better than the ones they put in phones idk but I still don't want to risk it but the slightly better performance might make me take a chance on it idk yet
There are game restrictions, for those games that have certain anti cheat measures... Cough cough CoD
This is such an AI generated bullshit video LMAO Valve is offering X which is way better than Y which is what Valve is offering. LMAO
I'm just waiting for Steam Deck 2 lol. Hopefully 2026 🤞
The oled screen has really bad strobing and burns in easily. Not worth it at all when you can buy the 64gb og for only $349.

I still to this day have not seen a single person report burn in on their oled deck
At work several want handheld systems but the first question they all ask is; Can it run Game Pass and games not on Steam. Three have already bought the Rog Ally because of this. I have both and I am deciding which to keep. Gta 5 just seems better on the Ally at 120hz 1080p. It is so smooth and I don't feel the need for an oled screen. it looks amazing. I am probably sticking with the Ally. If you have an Ally check out the Skull & Co. case, its like a Steam deck case for the Ally.

Not going for ally due to incompetence when it comes to sd slot problems. Ticking time bomb before sd slot craps out.

Keep your money is better than oled screen
Me when I don't have money to buy oled 😂😂😂😂
I get this video and justifying not upgrading to an OLED but my man, literally everything you said applies to an OLED and it’s a much better experience on there lol. LCD is a great option don’t get me wrong but clickbaiting with this title and giving us basic information is kinda weak man 😂
Pure copium
The OLED version is way better than the LCD version
The copium is strong on this one
AI voice over?
the LCD is only better because the upgrade is not worth the money...
Worst kind of videos, click bait title, borrowed footage, scripted talk and most importantly content has nothing to do with title. There's a special place in hell for channels like that.
The OLED has so many problems!

I'm mad I even clicked on this video. The price is better on the LCD and literally nothing else. There are zero other reasons why the "LCD is better." Save up a bit of extra cash and get the OLED.

What a massive copium video lol
