I have got my OLED Steamdeck today and made a picture with my old one side by side. The display is a little bit bigger, the touch screen is way better (more like a smartphone).
For anyone who can’t tell the difference: The OLED is the one that’s next to the other one.
Ohhhhh, I thought it was next to the other one.
Honestly can’t tell the difference 💁🏼♂️
I can definitely tell that they are next to each other.
Serious question: Is the difference more apparent IRL (not a picture)? I’m not seeing a big enough difference that I’d spend much more for OLED.
I saw a noticeable difference going from a Switch to a Switch OLED, mainly in the contrast in scenes. Greys and blacks can almost look inky in comparison to LCD, and glowing lights (think neon signs) pop out a lot more.
That being said, the topic is the Deck OLED, which I haven’t seen in person, so your mileage will vary.
I guess the problem is looking at your picture on my LCD smart phone. :)
I can tell the machine on the left is the OLED version because the screen is just a touch bigger.
Nice! Is it weird that I prefer the more white details on the buttons instead of the new gray?
As an avid nighttime gamer, I wish they added lights to the controller/navigation buttons on the new version.
Why? Your fingers are on top of them, and games often show you the button placement, shape, or both, and some even point to it during tutorials or idle moments.
And who looks at their own buttons anyway? Lemme ask a quick question: Can you type on a physical keyboard in the darkness? That is far more complicated (though most of us don’t even think about it), but nobody gets caught looking at their keyboard, unless it’s a meme.
Not to mention the extra lighting would just take away from the gameplay.
It was a missed opportunity for RGB lighting, not necessary but would be very nice to have.
Screw RGB.
If I didn’t already buy the 512, the oled would be worth it imo
I’m in the same boat with my switch as well.
