Hands-on with the Steam Deck OLED 1TB. First impressions!

The Steam Deck OLED is here and I've had a chance to play around with it. The colors are VIVID, the speakers are even better, the haptics feel great, and the performance is stellar.

This version is what finally convinced me that it can be a full replacement for a laptop. This thing is so good now

[@PixelShade]

I mean it depends on what you use your laptop for... it's kind of hard to use it for work, or during commute without keyboard and larger screen. But I mean, if you use your laptop primarily for gaming on the go, it definitely is. :)

[@mdexterc2894]

@@PixelShade at the price of a Steamdeck, I don't think a laptop is really worth it unless you somehow find a refurbished laptop with higher specs. To me, a decent laptop starts at around $1000 and even then the keyboard sucks anyways. In my case, then, I would use the SD until I can afford a better system

[@Cyko..]

A tablet with a flat keyboard makes a nice replacement for a laptop especially Samsung with Dex mode. I'd use this for gaming.

[@gargoyled_drake]

@@PixelShade not really. It has on screen touch keyboard, that you can also use the touchpads on the side to write with (which is really intuitive). But you can also use bluetooth to hook up a keyboard if that is important to your work flow. I thought the same as you before getting one. And honestly wish we were right. Cause now i sometimes end up on youtube comments or reddit instead of just putting on a movie when i go to bed xD

[@narrowneptune5479]

yes i use my laptop for work i dont imagine using the steam deck with a keyboard at least i pay for another screen at least 240hz ultrawide for a deck / ally because working in that little screen.. idk@@PixelShade

[@Razear]

The subtle differences from the color of the logo to the power button is a great way to make a differentiation between the two models while retaining the same overall look. Very tasteful cosmetic changes.

[@AshnSilvercorp]

was considering a steam deck this year and waited. Glad I did. Them upping the storage finally is a good treat.

[@gargoyled_drake]

i bought the cheap model when it was on sale. And i'm glad i did. Still gonna get the OLED version, but while i save up and make ready for it, i'll enjoy my 64gb version with 500gb MicroSD card filled up with games :P Also, apparently, us that bought the 64gb version now have a limited edition without it even being sold as a limited edition ;)

[@AndersHass]

@@gargoyled_drakelooking forward to the OLED versions stopped being in production so they can be called limited editions too, lol. It is also fairly easy to replace the drive so you can very cheaply upgrade it yourself.

[@AndersHass]

The meny being darker does also make sense from battery life perspective since OLED can actually turn off pixels where LCD will always have full screen backlight.

[@user-zb9iu5mf8p]

Do good to see that valve did it

[@Andorski]

My understanding is that unless the color is pure black (hex code #000000) then the pixel will still light up. So I doubt battery life will improve significantly in the menus unless Valve makes an OLED skin.

[@joeykeilholz925]

​​​@@AndorskiOLED is far and away more efficient. The entire system uses 27 watts instead of 32 at full tilt partially due to that. OLED has power benefits because of its per pixel dimming basis, not only when the color is fully black. If you can light up each individual pixel the exact amount it needs instead of the whole screen becoming bright at once, then it's naturally more efficient. But the technology itself is just generationally more efficient. That's why it has 30-50% battery life improvements, combined with the faster RAM (which improves battery confirmed by valve), node shrink on the APU, and the 25% bigger battery. Essentially, you don't need #000000 to benefit battery life, though it is even more helpful to turn pixels completely off when possible.

[@bucklinspring]

I managed to slip off the paper sleeve around the outer packaging without tearing it when I first got my Deck. You just have to fold the fabric case handle under the handle's cutout and carefully slide it away from the zippers.

[@Soddus.]

yeah i did that with mine aswell

[@euroker05]

Same here. I still have the paper sleeve folded in my drawer. 🙂

[@ArtoriasNX]

Yeah mines just in the box nice and whole

[@PongbyAtari]

With so many SD Oled owners saying they prefer the glossy display after having your etched Oled for a bit are you still happy with the etched choice?

[@solm67]

I'm so glad Valve are supporting the steam deck so well. It's here to stay and that is a good thing. I will wait for Steam Deck 2, I'm happy with my original steam deck for the moment. Excellent video so glad you are enjoying your new steam deck OLED.

[@Chrisssss45]

I hope that they do something about the unplayable games because of anti-cheat for the Steam Deck 2. If they do it'll be great

[@tblicher]

@@Chrisssss45 If they do that would translate to the original Steam Deck as well, as this is a software issue. It is simply because anti-cheat software will regard SteamOS as unsafe

[@cloudboysmusic5223]

Yea I say upgrade is only worth it if you can manage to find someone to buy the OG off you. Luckily sold my 512 model for $300 so now waiting for the OLED

[@cloudboysmusic5223]

@@Chrisssss45 Anti cheat is on the devs to fix not much valve can do besides somehow entice them to update their anti cheat to work on linux bases systems. Some of them are pretty vocal about not supporting the steam deck like Epic because they're direct competitors. Others like bungie are just fking lazy, hopefully now that Sony owns them things will change

[@CaptainEffort]

Realistically tho a warning wouldn’t have helped. Because then the people that bought the Deck right before the warning was issued would be pissed instead. No matter what, certain people will always get kind of screwed, warning or not.

[@speedracer123222]

Some of the things your seeing from the ui is from steamOS preview branch. Bloom effect also looks amazing on og deck. The color profile is incorrect they set to default. It should be 6500k white balance to do white instead of the 7500k they have.

[@captainfach]

God dammit not only did it fix all my issues, but seeing you be so excited and astounded just makes me need it more!!! Guess I gotta see if someone wants to buy my steam deck

[@StefanConstantinDumitrache]

Which Deck do you have? I feel sorry for all those 64gb owners. Their best choice is to just keep it while buying an OLED version. At least with a 2nd one they can experiment with Windows, since Valve said Windows support is still on the list.

[@captainfach]

@StefanConstantinDumitrache I have the 64 but I upgraded the ssd to 512

[@radicalraccoon]

The Steam Deck OLED is such a nice UX improvement over the LCD Steam Deck; it's tempting to sell my LCD Steam Deck and go in for the OLED model, but I'm happy with my Steam Deck and will be waiting for the Steam Deck 2. I think that of the best things to come of this revision is the significant price drops on the LCD models. This will make it much more accessible to those who may have still been on the fence if price was a deciding factor for them.

[@rekkeni]

For me, it was! At the same time... i like the Improvements of the OLED model so much, I think i try first to get a 512GB OLED, and if i don't get one i grab one of the Cheaper LCD Models

[@ArtoriasNX]

It'll probably be a very long time before the second deck I bet

[@donniedarko4497]

Lucky dog you! Don't forget to sniff the exhaust port. That new deck smell wont last forever

[@EtherLove]

Hey, great content, how’s the screen anti glare does it affect the colors of the OLED ?

[@captainfach]

I'm wondering if you can put your old steam decks SSD into the new steam deck without having to reflash or anything. Since they're both steam decks it should just be plugged and play correct

[@gardiner_bryant]

At the moment, I'm guessing no. That's because the OLED is on a separate dev branch of SteamOS

[@overwatch761]

Really cool - it's also sad to think the Switch 2 arriving next year won't match the power of Steam Deck, which will be over two years on the market by that stage.

[@soulstenance]

6:15 Is OS Update Channel specific to the OLED Deck or is it because you're on beta? I think it says "galileo", it's hard to see though. I don't have that on my OG Steamdeck.

[@jimmychan9138]

Hope there won’t be a long wait to get one like it was for the first Steam Deck. I had to wait 6 months at that time.

[@user-zb9iu5mf8p]

7:15 more responsiveness on oled version is caused by +30Hz screen upgrade (60Hz->90Hz) so everything will fill more smoothly and responsive

[@zhon5311]

this might have sold me on getting an OLED (trying to get LE) and giving my deck to my sister in the season of givings

[@slowboi1688]

just ordered one im so hyped for it!!

[@AlphaOmegaZen]

Is the OLED version that you have the 512GB or 1TB? Wondering if the matte finish takes anything away from the OLED screen. Any feedback is appreciated. Great video! Thanks!😮

[@nusilver]

Multiple videos have addressed this. The solution is to add a screen protector, which you should be doing anyway.

[@ricardowilliams3765]

it's the 1 tb version since that one has the additional case inside

[@Mizufluffy]

My guess it's the 1TB model considering how the paper at 0:35 says "This is your 1TB Steam Deck OLED review unit."

[@druminik]

I'm definitely going with the glossy model. This video illustrates the difference quite well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpCck4CajKhoZrcsi=J1O8bX0QFrvKt5zN It's for the LCD model, but the glass difference remains the same. Should be even more pronounciated with OLED, as glossy OLEDs are always considered superior due to better contrast perception

[@Giganotti]

I want to know too.

[@ifintea]

Is this OLED screen DC dimming or PWM low frequency dimming, like the switch OLED screen? Thanks❤😊

[@ArtoriasNX]

The shader stutter would have been because I presume spyro was on the SD card right? So no shaders would have downloaded for it

[@MrRatSuperHD]

Hello, the screen mat is cool ?

[@GamerEnLinux]

do you think in the future will be some kind of Display Replacement for the old version to switch to OLED?

[@MrHurricaneFloyd]

Not from Valve, but there might be an aftermarket one at some point.

[@AndersHass]

The screen is thinner so it won’t be an easy replacement

[@MiraSmit]

So would the steamdeck OLED fit into the killswitch grip?

[@lefinnabust]

Do you have vibrant deck running on your og deck?

[@gardiner_bryant]

No. I have the beta that includes the vibrancy setting

[@TiagoTiagoT]

It's interesting how with the right exposure, OLED tends to look much better, even when watching in a LCD screen.

[@Felix-pm1fg]

Doesn't the etched glass remove the deep black from the OLED display? or does it just look like that?

[@animetodamaximum]

You are looking at a video taken on a camera, that is compressed by KZbin, and being played back on what ever display you are watching on. The etched glass is the last thing that would be causing the screen to look worse.

[@SolidSnake0]

Great video, is there any way tho we could see an SSD swap? I would prefer to use my 2tb SSD in my current steam deck but I'm not sure how friendly the software will be towards that?

[@felixplace2]

I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully someone will answer this question too.

[@SolidSnake0]

@@felixplace2 So I just did it myself and it's seamless. You just swap the SSDs like normal and they'll both just boot up like nothing. No need to use the recovery image or anything.

I was wondering do you have to re format the SD card for this Steam Deck...wait a minute I just saw that you just removed the sd card from the old one with no problems 😊

[@APEXGuerilla]

Would you say the actual plastic material feels better quality or the same? How does it feel? Any squeaks and creaks like the OG?

[@gardiner_bryant]

The plastic feels the same quality but the overall texture feels a little different. It's about the same difference in felt between the Steam Deck I got in q3 2022 versus the launch day Deck

[@misaroorasim]

I dunno what to do. My current 512gb lcd steam deck just stopped working properly and valve are sending me a brand new replacement. Should I sell it and get the OLED 😭

[@Saltywaffles39]

should i get this one for me first handheld?

[@PixelShade]

Doom Eternal has an FSR2 mod which hijacks the DLSS pipeline. It's incredible how good that game looks even with silly low resolutions like 400p (FSR Performance). I guess it has to do with Doom Eternal mostly using "thick" geometry causing no apparent shimmering. I wouldn't be surprised if you can get it to 90fps. unless there's a memory bottleneck or something. :) also, FSR does help out RT performance A LOT, although I think it should be left off for most users anyway. :)

[@StefanConstantinDumitrache]

Benefits of working with a bespoke engine instead of a mass-market one.

Is it possible to bypass the 15w limit on a steam deck now with the bigger battery if we would raise the tdp to 16/18 that would be great

[@gargoyled_drake]

i don't think Valve would do that. 15w is a sweet spot for hand helds and SBC's. If they changed the charger. They could end up with people who bought the original design getting the wrong power cord send to them and ruin their steam deck on valves behalf. Leaving valve with no other option than sending them a replacement steam deck. And usually valve is okay with that. But i still think they want to avoid causing a need for replacement.

[@DonaldHendleyBklynvexRecords]

@@gargoyled_drake Im pretty sure you can use a 65watt charger and higher the SD just wont take more juice from it

[@paulc2007]

I’m confused I’m not on about charging the steam deck, I’m saying we are currently limited to 15w tdp when gaming but if we were able to raise that to 16w or 18w even that would give better performance?

My wife never once asked what's that sound when I was on the deck. My GPD WIN2 however... "can you turn that noise off?" "can you sit somewhere else with that noise" So having a deck that's more quiet than a deck is of course fantastic. I am not saying that the deck is quiet, but usually the fan noise is drowned out by other noises, and when it does make too much noise I just change the settings, but I really seldomly have to.

Your eyes look different in the thumbnail, I guess that's what that amazing 1000nits does to ya! 😉
