  • Its actually a pretty nice upgrade, and definitely worth getting for a screen repair, but the fact that they basically didn’t actually ship until the OLED started selling was what killed this products potential. In fact I would be willing to be most owners are like myself people who preordered long ago and finally received their unit weeks behind schedule, and only after the new model with a better screen came out. The bios issue does not seem bad too bad, I was worried as well about future support, but (I am guessing, I have not looked under the hood) it looks like it just flashes over only the settings for resolution as it works across bios revisions(even the latest ones that killed overclocks) and does not seem to take long to “flash.”


  • The DeckHD is definitely a much nicer screen than stock. The improvement visually feels like going from a Nintendo switch LCD to OLED. But it was a bit involved to install (more comparable to cell phone repair than laptop/pc, think multiple layers built around a frame with heavy use of glue). I haven’t seen a Steam Deck OLED in person but it seems to be as good as DeckHD’s LCD offering. I primarily use Win 11 so the extra pixels were more useful for desktop use than for gaming and/or may be more or less useful in SteamOS, but I haven’t felt any performance hit that some reviewers have mentioned.
