Have got or plan to get the standard 512GB or top end 1TB model and why? Explain below! 👇

I’m torn between a Valve refurbished LCD (£319) or an OLED (£479) but I’m not sure if the £160 difference is worth it, I’m usually a console gamer so I’m also having to build my steam library from scratch

1:52. Guys, I think, this is not about "enough protection", it's about -> you can use your 3rd party plastic case(with removed this central part)

@@PeteTalksTech i has use matte/anti gloss tempered glass on my phone and i hate it when it turn down the brightness and the sharpness of the screen

So, is it worth getting the 1tb one over the 512gb one? Here in Aus the 1tb is 1300 and the 512gb is only 1100. I can get a 2tb 2230 Nvme for around 200 bucks and intend to do so to upgrade internal storage, i also intend to get a screen protector for the deck. With that in mind is it worth getting the 1tb or not at all?

Great question Chaotic! I got the 512GB and have no regrets as I can always add a matt screen protector if I want to, plus I had an unused 512GB SD card I use with it now, and of course saved almost £100 in the process…

Happy New Year Pete!

Same to you Justin! 🙌

Taki Udon doesn't really suggest to get the glossy one, he concludes that it doesn't matter, either one is great and suggests you choose based on which you afford and if the other upsides are worth it to you. I got the 1 TB because of this. To me, the increase in storage is important and the alternative of getting a seperate SD and installing it myself sounded like more of a hassle than just paying about 100€ more.

And the resell ability should be quite worthwhile if looking to upgrade to the next Steam deck, since people would rather purchase the nice 1TB model if in great condition

Tbf installing a 2Tb SSD is a hassle, but even I could do it following a Taki Udon guide. Wish I got the 512 instead of the LE OLED because once I figured out which connectors to remove (about 3 need to be removed) when swapping SSD’s, it’s a really easy process. It’s a hassle the first time, once you figure it out it’s very simple and easy to do. Takes maybe 20-30 minutes when you know all the steps, very hard to mess anything up, just make sure to have the correct tools like a Torx set.

@@casedistortedSure, I believe it's very doable and it's a perfectly valid way of going about it, especially if you want the glossy display. But where I live I would save 20€ at best, as I'd still have to buy the 1TB. And that to me just isn't worth the hassle. Plus, after some use, I absolutely wouldn't want to miss the anti glare. For my use case it is definitly worth it.

@@shaolin95the oled screen is NOT degraded in most scenarios. Watch the Taki Udon video: he makes a direct comparison in 3 scenarios.

6:28 don’t you see how the blacks aren’t affected at all when the deck is directly pointed at the camera? Also in retro game corps’ video, he literally had to zoom in with a macro lens to see the haze that you get with the etched glass. I still had to strain my eyes to even see the haze

Already had a 2TB drive from my LCD Steam Deck. Went for the 1TB LE because I prefer the etched glass and I wanted the Limited Edition anyway. Can't stand glossy screens, especially glossy touchscreens.

Couldn’t you just get a screen protector that gets rid of the glossiness of the screen?

Yes, although they usually aren't as good as the etched glass. The anti-glare screen protectors often cause a blurry, rainbow effect on the screen.

Can I use this without a pc? I have never had steam before on a pc so will it be easy to download games ?

@PeteTalksTech

Hey Manny, the answer is YES! I don’t use my SD OLED with a PC - it has Steam Store directly in it to buy games! 🙌

Get the 1TB if you can afford it. The data speed on the SD cards arent even close to the SSD. Thus, your games are not gunna run as well on the SD card vs the SSD. Plus, you need a screen protector anyway so get a glossy protector.

@@PeteTalksTechoh you guys can’t get the LE version? I got it and kind of regret it since I don’t like the interior look of the case, and the orange is meh. I like the jet black of the 512. Also I got a 2Tb drive to replace the included 1Tb and I have the extra goodies already on steam from my 512GB LCD model so it really felt like I was splurging on the LE version, which wasn’t that limited to begin with.

So essentially, as far as the screen goes, it doesn't really matter, it just depends on what type of screen protector you use on it?

@PeteTalksTech

Yes Jordan as far as the screen, we can buy Matt or glossy screen protectors if needed…

I wanted the limited edition because it is "special," but my first steamdeck has the etched glass, and I installed the etched glass on the first steamdeck I modified. So I prefer it anyway.

Did the processor or gpu change?

Nope exactly the same between all OLED models 👍

I bought the 512 oled but didn’t open it thinking should I change and get the 1TB though I have a 1TB SD card. After seeing the difference the etched glass is not worth the hassle of exchanging it.

On these youtubers comparisions of the oled 512 and 1tb versions. Why is the border thicker on their claimed 1TB versions? isn't the thicker border a sign of a LCD model?

Hey geek, the border shouldn't be thicker on the 1tb model, it's only thicker on the older LCD models which had a screen size of 7" compared to 7.4" on BOTH the 512gb and 1tb OLED models... 👍

@@newbeginning1510if your focus is to play games from the steam library, 512gb is fine. I have the 512, and I also have an additional micro SD 512. So storage is not an issue. Also the screen is fine for me, the etched glass IMO is overrated- but of course this need will depend on the lighting where you will use the device.
