I've got an anti glare screen protector but don't really want to use it as I think it'll compromise the fantastic visuals. Anyone know of good alternatives to use? I'm in the UK if that matters.

Absolutely. I'm in Spain. My Deck has been in a limbo between Netherlands and Spain for 4 whole days. GLS Netherlands says it left the country, GLS Spain says they haven't received it. Probably the worst delivery experience I've had in my life, two full weeks to not be able to deliver a package, not really sure what Valve was thinking here.

I can understand applying screen protector on something like a phone that you carry with you in your pocket. But why would you need one on a Steam Deck? I have my original one since October last year and it's in mint condition.

I caved in and ordered an Oled deck just now. I use my lcd one daily and I will buy one sooner or later, might as well be sooner
. Can't wait to stream my desktop games in 90fps on that gorgeous screen. My first ever Oled experience, so very curious what the hype is about.
My LCD deck is going to my girlfriend. I don't want to sell it as it's basically my favorite console of all time.

While that's neat, it will just murder the battery even more. Plus, its hard enough to run games at 60, let alone 120 lol.

It is good for steaming though, Moonlight at 120hz will be even better than 90, which is better than 60. Same for PS5 I'd imagine. But certain older PS2-style games can hit 120 I'm sure and some indies. I think there's brightness issues or something at the moment however with the 120hz mode.

I get what you're saying, but I'm obsessed with keeping the screen nice and I've got butter fingers bad. Not to mention, I've got a daughter, two cats, a dog, and my wife is gonna play on it and my wife is one of these people who will just make screens disgusting somehow. I think it's all her skin product stuff.
So yeah, no naked portable screens in my home ever.

Anyone play Dragons Dogma on the deck? I wanna replay it and thought I’d give it a whirl on the deck instead of ps5 or switch.

I‘ll be in Puerto Rico in january and I was really thinking about ordering it to a friend who lives there and bring it back to Austria with me. I‘m relieved it‘s not a headache anymore.

Can you link me to that? I don't really follow cryobyte33 but I didn't see any new video on his Youtube.

I see now that Cryobyte33 made some clarifications later on in that thread so maybe there is some use out the tools yet.

Steady 60 (Everything on High) Except for Distance Scaling.
What so amazing Getting 40 fps steady, For games like RDR 2 & GTA 5 with ultra textures.

Neat to see the differences in panel layout. I wonder if it is noticeable at normal viewing distance, and which pattern is better.Sub pixel layout of both screen

Cracks me up that in a comparison shot like that they couldn't get the same type/quality photo for both sides, like they just took two totally different phones/cameras and make you think one is super diluted when in reality they both would be exactly the same color/saturation as each other.
Most comparison videos that have released claimed they're exactly the same essentially in normal conditions, cannot tell them apart.
Then random comments suggest:
- (Some?) of the Samsung's have a slight noticeable mura, others don't seem to
- The Samsung appears to be slightly sharper than the etched displays - may just have more to do with it being glossy
- BOE can do 120hz, Samsung cannot
- BOE can do poor VRR with caveats - like the brightness changes/screen flickers when changing refresh rates in VRR
- BOE panels have a much much higher chance for dead pixels
I really think that you probably couldn't identify which panel you have simply by looking at - unless you had a panel with telltale signs like dead pixels or mura. I think the colors are likely both nearly identical.

Man, I’ve been gaming on OLED since like 2017 and I was still blown away by the upgrade to OLED Deck.
I was playing Signalis last night and it’s just amazing.
Let us know your feedback once you get yours!

I fired up Signalis as well. Looks incredible on the Deck. My favourite recent title card drop until I played the opening of Alan Wake II.

4 days from Netherlands to Germany?! Did they use bicycle the entire way?
Lucifers Beard

I haven't but it'll probably run great and definitely better than PS5 or Switch since those are capped at 30fps.
I'm been playing through Sleeping Dogs on my OLED and not only does it look amazing on the screen, I can also run the game between 70-90fps. I capped to 60fps just to extend battery, but Dragons Dogma will run good on it for sure.

That's nice, I was using the Nreal glasses recently as they did a Firmware update and can now push 120hz. Pretty nice there is a mod for the deck itself now.

Nobody is complementing the improvements done to trackpads. I've played some OG Fallout 1 and it's much, much better. Actually enjoyable!

Nooooooo, I fogot to get Signalis at a discount in the most recent sale
I got both Ori's, Hollow knight and Death's door on the last day of the sale to blow me away. Also thinking of finally getting some of the darker games in my library a try like Alien: Isolation.
Have you tried Moonlight with yours? 90 fps OLED streaming of that quality seems like a no brainer for the more demanding games. I've recently caught myself just streaming about everything that requires a 30-40 frame cap with low settings instead and playing them on max settings at 60fps (soon to be 90)

Anybody use the official dock as a stand while playing? Is it sturdy enough? I like to stand my Switch OLED up on the desk while playing certain games.
Suppose I could also look into a cheap stand for now since I don't need any of the IO functionality. Most of what I'm seeing isn't looking very good though.

Skull & Co makes a (very cheap mind you) case that stands up on its own very sturdily thanks to a flat under side

I use the kick stand on the dbrand killswitch
Got the offical dock but I only use that when I am docking to the TV.
Even thou I don't like the overall look of LE in pictures compared to render/promo shots, I can still appreciate the attention do details that Valve put into this thing. Especially in the back with orange/red screws and vent. It looks cool.
The least they could do for charging $20 extra for colored plastic.
I’m talking about living room TVs, not just monitors. They’ve been selling the LG OLEDs for nearly a decade now.

Moonlight is almost flawless. I’ve tried it with Starfield and it’s so nice to play it in that fidelity on that screen at 90FPS anywhere I want in my home. Battery life is crazy when streaming, I’m at 68% and 5+ hours left.

UPS tried pulling a fast one today. I am in my living room and they pull into my driveway. They drop off three packages. I immediately go out and get them and one of them isn’t mine and my steam deck box isn’t there.
It was like a scene out of fast and the furious. I hopped in my car and went after them. Then they claimed it wasn’t on their truck. I told them they are being stolen at an astronomical level. They told me to contact the shipper. I did and then five minutes after I get home a UPS truck pulls back in and there’s my steam deck.
Be careful with these delivery drivers. The fucked thing is, it said Delivered on the tracking. I don’t know if I would have had any recourse. I told steam support I got the package after the fact.

Large portion of 4K adoption in US households just happened a few years ago. The technology has been available but considered too expense and a niche product for most people. The thought process being I can get a $1500 55inch OLED or a $500 77inch lcd tv. Most pick the later.

The combination of an excellent OLED screen plus the great console like controls makes the Steam Deck such a winning formula. Playing on phones with a telescopic controller or on Switch with Joycons just doesn't compare.

I wanted to play Darkwood but started OG Mass Effect instead (not remake) and holy shit it looks so amazing on that little OLED screen.

I have the official Dock, it's plenty sturdy but I'm only using it to connect to an external monitor. If I'm understanding you right, you'd use the controls on the Deck and have the stand keep it upright? Probably fine, but it's overkill for what you're trying to do.
Been toying with the idea of getting one of these. Have you ever used this in-flight before? hows the experience ?

The HDR is unreal too IMO, I've never seen a phone look as bright as the Deck, any iPhone or Samsung you name it. Just like the PSVR2 the combination of OLED+HDR makes the device literally one of a kind.

It’s weird, but literally everything I’ve tried impresses me. It’s a crazy good screen. Massive upgrade.

Question, does Game Pass work on Steam Deck OLED? I followed various tutorials and I cannot manage to make it work. When I launch Xbox Cloud Gaming it returns to Steam…
The OLED deck has a max brightness of 1,000 nits peak brightness while the current Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra does 1,750 nits and the next one (S24) is said to have a max of 2,500 nits.
