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).
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.
For anyone who can’t tell the difference: The OLED is the one that’s next to the other one.
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.
