Also one of the biggest issues with the normal version was the touchscreen pulling rate. 180hz on the OLED feel SO good.
nottheengineer ( @nottheengineer@feddit.de ) 20•7 months ago90hz screen with 180hz polling is what my phone uses as well, it’s nice that the deck has now caught up to that.
Also remember to leave your original deck on when downloading games on the new one so it can transfer them locally, which should be faster. There’s a setting for that, but I think it’s on by default.
It tries to download locally but it’s faster to download it from steam CDN 🫣

Looks great from the pics!
moonsnotreal ( @moonsnotreal@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 4•7 months agoI guess my eyes are bad but I can never tell the difference between lcd and oled. I have an oled switch and a normal one and the only way I can tell the difference is screen size and the kickstand.
Eggyhead ( @Eggyhead@kbin.social ) 7•7 months agoIt stands out more in the dark, where black pixels are actually off. Things that appear on screen look like they’re just floating in a black void.
conciselyverbose ( @conciselyverbose@kbin.social ) 2•7 months agoIt’s pretty obvious out of the box, too, because the color profile defaults to vivid. You can change it back to “natural” to match what the developers intended, but it cranks up the color when you get it.
But yeah, blacks generally are sexy.
voxel ( @vox@sopuli.xyz ) 5•7 months agowtf, it’s literally night and day. i don’t own a steam deck (and i have just 5$ in my bank account lol) but I’ll never go back to ips in my phone ever since i got oled one
The blacks are pitch black because they aren’t illuminated.
MrPasty ( @Sebbe@lemmy.sebbem.se ) 1•7 months agoYou must have really bad eyes. It is rare to see any technology where the difference is as big as that between LCD and OLED.

Mine is on the way… I’m just wondering if I’ll ever use it. I was thinking it’s perfect for platformers and puzzle games
blackbarn ( @blackbarn@lemm.ee ) 1•7 months agoIt’s good for many more things than that. Give it a good chance!

Yeah it’s just that I have a nice PC setup, and on the couch I play PC games on the big screen. The only real use case is when I go to bed
averyminya ( @averyminya@beehaw.org ) 2•7 months agoI find certain consoles “feel” more right for certain games. I’m not much of a 2D puzzler, I thought. Turns out I just don’t like them on PC, even with my Steam Controller. Having the same game on a smaller screen with some portability and pick-up and playness makes games I wasn’t as interested in more enticing.
If you have a library of “meh” games, try giving them a go on Deck. I was personally pretty surprised

Yeah I’m thinking maybe games like factorio, hollow knight, monster train, etc that I always wanted to play but I never want to play on PC will click
