[@CJTheTokay]

I have been watching videos on this topic all day, and you just so happened to come out with this, you are the goat man

[@cappachino78]

What version did you get?

[@DoctorHades]

I've bought the 1 TB OLED model, mostly because I wanted the extra SSD storage from the off but also because I know how annoying reflections can be on a glossy OLED display from using my LG B9 TV. I will likely use the Steam Deck for 50% of the time during the day and the rest at night so I feel the etched glass is the preferred option anyway for me. Good video though. No-one else has done this kind of comparison as far as I am aware so this is useful information. Thanks.

[@davidberuashvili2219]

Thank you for clearing it up for everyone. great review been waiting for this since release

[@LordTimelord]

Thanks for this comparison! I had the OG 512GB Etched Glass Deck (also with a glossy screen protector as a etched one wasn't available at it's launch). I was thinking about all the recent comments from people stating that the standard glossy screen was better. Good to know the etched glass still has some good advantages in brighter environments like in a vehicle or outside.

[@Zenon2006]

Great video, well thought out commentary and pros and cons of each. Someone on the Steam Deck reddit was basically insulting anyone who got the etched version this week.

[@Fujioh]

Dude thank you for calming my tits about this issue. Bought the limited edition and have been second guessing it since reading about all the screen drama online. Thank you for comparing the two and being so thorough about it.

[@WyvernDotRed]

Putting on a glossy screen-protector would have the same effect as getting a glossy model, if you still care about it. A good quality one as cheaper ones reduce the contrast in a similar way.

[@Beastw1ck]

Same, man. In the end I decided to trust Valve since they almost always make smart decisions with their engineering and it looks the etched glass is no exception.

[@WyvernDotRed]

@@Beastw1ck They also chose to keep potentiometer based sticks, for their better accuracy. I've heard rumours of the hall effect replacements have a larger deadzone, so this might again be Valve choosing right. On my Deck I halved the deadzone setting, making them unusually accurate for now. As the sticks are easy to replace, it also isn't a problem if the originals do wear out.

[@Naginc]

Absolutely. Funny thing is, on OLED TV's, screens with no anti gloss are much cheaper. If Valve put this on the highest end, it was for a reason. I took ordered the special edition, should be here Friday!

[@leokismet8586]

I have the special edition.. the brightness is not great compared to my G2 oled. Might not matter to some but for me it's been a bad experience.

Amazing video with incredible detail and real world scenarios, this is exactly the type of video I’ve been looking for to justify purchasing the LE OLED Steam Deck.

[@dan47483]

Looks like either one is fine. I prefer glossy myself but you can't go wrong either way.

[@dementedp]

First of all, I have to say that your comparison and analysis were so good that it was worth watching the first half of the video, which was more focused on providing context. To be honest, I almost skipped your video when no comparison was being made in the first 9 minutes. Second of all, and most importantly, I truly appreciate all the work invested. Now I have a clear idea of both versions. Subscribed. :)

[@Tezla_Insanity]

Thanks for uploading this! Honestly made me much calmer about the etched display, I think I will keep it without a glossy screen protector as the OLED will seemingly still look phenomenal even with the anti-glare. Although very afraid of receiving a BOE Panel as I have never had a good experience with their displays in the past on standard LCD monitors...

[@user-pj5ld8gq6y]

Best comparison I've seen!! Excellent job!!

[@tappersreviews4677]

We ordered a 512gb and an LE. I just spent 2 hours playing and comparing, and Taki is completely correct. Both screens are brilliant and no matter which one you choose you will love it. I can barely see any difference, aside from the etched handling reflections better. If there is any difference it’s like 1% or something. Seriously, Valve hit a home run with the SD OLED. Nuff said, time to go play more. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[@hummel003]

Some other reviewer said in a darker room or at night (not pitch black) the glossy screen looks allot better. Is this the case?

[@tappersreviews4677]

@@hummel003 I don’t think so. They’re both great. Deep blacks and rich colors on both. Look about the same to me in a dark room.

If the etched glass was that bad, there's no way valve would have put it on the top model.

[@jarrodjob]

Pros and Cons. I love the etched glass on the top of the line. I don’t care about deep blacks on an 8 inch screen on a handheld device I’ll play 95 percent of the the time with lights on.

[@jc8h]

No one is saying it’s bad but glossy OLED will always look better than matte. Just wish they gave us the option to choose glossy on 1TB model.

[@arrow82roc]

Yeah, no one is saying it is bad but a regular glass OLED display will always have better, crisper and more vibrant color reproduction. Not even a conspiracy theory lol, it's basic wave optics in physics and refractive index of frosted glass vs regular glass.

[@EhurtAfy]

The concern was enough for me to skip out on it. Money is no issue for me thankfully, but personally I chose against the Limited Edition due to the anti-glare. I pre-ordered the top model for the original Deck and the etched screen is great on that one. But for OLED Deck I felt like etched screen wouldn't even be needed and maybe even be unwanted under some circumstances. Also an extra $100 for 512gb wasn't worth it imo, so I went with the 512gb. I'm really digging it so far, the black backlight feels so bright on the original LCD now

[@chandrahaspatelmd3472]

Outstanding analysis brother. Thank you!

[@friendlyhobo6483]

Lights off: both look the same. Inside the house: Glossy wins. Outside the house: Etched wins.

[@ChocolateAsian9000]

Thanks for the info on the shell swap, I was very curious about it. I’m keeping my launch 512 GB Deck; I did an Extreme Rate shell swap to trans black and I’m super proud of the work. I nearly got the limited edition but I can make that again with the proper shell when it’s available

[@gregs.7200]

Super helpful comparison. Thanks!

[@Zaguer]

You earn my subscription, amazing video!

[@anarfox]

I'm getting the glossy one so I can have a screen protector on. I have refrained from having a screen protector on my etched LCD because a glossy protector on an etched screen isn't 100% the same as glossy on glossy and etched on matte would be even worse. And it have been a point of worry ever since I got it. With the glossy OLED I can throw any screen protector on, matte or glossy, and it won't be worse than the ethched without a protector.

[@GamingBoTv]

Interesting, thanks for the input.

[@mileskt9232]

Yep, most don't think of this and that's exactly 1p0% accurate. Putting a matte on matte will look horrid. Get the close and update to a 1tb for the same price as the already 1tb steamdeck and you can make it matte with a screen protector if you want.

[@thebmxreviewer]

For those curious, I have the 512gb MATTE finish on my old Steam Deck. Even when I would have light on the screen, I would move my hands slightly to remove the light completely just like I would with a glossy finish. So even though the matte diffuses better, I always remove that annoying light from view completely anyway so it makes no difference which OLED I'd get.

[@tipsy634]

Yeah it seems like both screens are very reflective no matter what option you take. A soft computer monitorish screen would have the best picture but its durability wouldn't be great.

[@rixiorx]

@@tipsy634Do you think worth it trade my LCD 512 deck plus 300$ for the 1tb version oled?

[@tipsy634]

@@rixiorx plus $300? probably not. imagine what you can get if you keep the $300 and the lcd. i traded in my lcd after buying the oled, and got a switch oled out of it (...because i was gonna get peanuts for it in normal cash and decided to get a game token instead) but i never play on that switch oled. i probably wouldve been better off keeping the lcd or buying a bunch of games with the token. now, the increased value for money of the 1tb vs the 500gb is worthwhile, but paying $700 for a new deck so soon after getting the first one, it felt wrong to me. so i got the 512gb like my lcd because it was a bit cheaper.

[@DSG0805]

Thanks for this! I almost thought about returning my 1tb but now that I see these tests, I will keep it (when it arrives). I play mostly at night so I am glad I wont be impacted much.

This really calms my anxiety. I ordered the anti-glare 1TB version for the extra stuff it comes with + the storage and then started reading comments about how the screen sucked and got really worried. Now I'm just excited :D

[@LeJimster]

I don't expect I will be upgrading to the OLED as I don't use my steam deck a ton, but it's good to know there isn't a huge difference. I personally would go with etched every time as it makes the deck more usable in all conditions and you really aren't losing much detail.

[@Materia-Hunter]

Agreed! Etched looks the same in medium and low lit environments with the added bonus of being more visible in a high lighting environment.

[@LONEWOLF_FYCN]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS BREAKDOWN!

[@risinguponlinecoaching6941]

This was the video i needed

[@lgolem09l]

Just dropping my summary here that I made somewhere else: The etched screen on an OLED is an issue that needs to be looked at in three different uses cases: - dark room - low light - high (direct) light In addition the effect of the etched screen needs to be clarified: It disperses light. That means that a strong light the hits the screen from one side is not reflected off of it to the other side without the user noticing. Instead the entire screen reflects some part of each light into the user's eye. This is good for things that would reflect the light into the users eye anyway, because this light is lessed. But it means that all light is in part reflected into the users eye. So what the user sees at any part of the screen is a mixture of the dispersed light, AND the light coming from the screen at this part. And if you want to enjoy OLED blacks (where the screen is basically turned off) that's BAD, isn't it? But is it? Let's look at dark room usage first. There is no light to disperse. The etched screen will not look any different from the non-etched screen, aside from some minor loss in sharpness. And that would be really hard to notice, especially if we are still talking about an 800p screen. You'll basically loose sharpness to see distinct pixels. Low light will be the most important one, because it's the use case most will encounter. This can be a lit room, but it can also be outside, where you have light in the environment, but nothing that casts tons of light directly at the screen. Here things get interesting, because we have two different things to look at: Bright parts of the screen, and dark parts of the screen. The environment will have a lot of dim to medium lit objeckts behind the user, there is no way to avoid this. The oled screen is very bright, so the bright parts will overcome the direct reflections on the non-etched screen of those pretty well, BUT they will also overcome the etched screen's light dispersement even better than the single highlights. Now for the dark parts of the image. These will show the dreaded light dispersement of the etched screen. The OLED's black, but also dark colors can go very very dark, and there will not be any light, by design, to overcome the dispersed light. But let's look at what that means for the non etched screen. Turn on your phone, and hold it right up, so that your face is reflected in it. Do you see many reflections? No, too much light coming from the display that overcome the very low light direct reflections on the glass. Turn it off. Now you see EVERYTHING, reflected like a mirror, because no light is coming from the device to overcome these veeery slight direct reflections. This is what all dark parts of the OLED image would look like, and this is the real difference to the LCD deck: The LCD deck ALWAYS emits light that overcomes these slight reflections, so on the non-etched LCD screen, these aren't that noticable. Now turn to the OLED screen, which is OFF in black parts, and even the smallest of reflections return. This means that no matter how low light the objects in your environment are, the black pixels will NEVER overcome their reflections. Black parts of the screen will always reflect everything, no matter how low light you go. It might even happen in total darkness, when parts of the screen light up your face, while the black parts then perfectly reflect your face. And this could NOT have happened on the LCD deck. Now for high (direct) light conditions. This is basically studio light, like in youtube videos. A very bright light shines directly on the screen, leading to tons of dispersed light being reflected into the eye/camera. In the worst case scenario, there are also no other objects but the deck being lit, so the non-edged screen shows just a small amount of reflections, while the etched screen is overall BRIGHT. This is not likely to happen in real life, where a very bright light in the environment would usually lead to an overall bright environment. That means the non-etched screen would likely be showing reflections that cannot be overcome even by the bright OLED screen. Black parts of the screen would reflect even more heavily here as well, leading to a more realistic tradeoff between OLED black levels and reflections. Again, the bright parts of the screen will overcome the dispersed light, those are not a problem here. So TLDR: If you hated reflections on then LCD, you are likely to LOATH them on the OLED. If you want true blacks on your etched OLED screen, you are still going to get them in low light environments.

[@Wrongemboy0]

Thanks for the video - my final question is, if we put a matte protector on the etched - does it give the same picture quality as putting a matte on the normal glass, or does it infact give it 'twice as much haze'

[@TJBPlays]

Twice the haze, makes it slightly blurred. Tried it with my LCD etched model.

[@allenp4215]

I would love to see a deep dive video comparing the Samsung vs. BOE panel. Hopefully this isn't another panel lottery game where 1 version is clearly superior to the other. The fact that you received both Samsung panel Decks makes me think that Valve are cherry-picking the "best" versions to send out to reviewers, but that's just a conjecture.

[@aimmlegate]

Apple use Samsung and BOE pannels on iPhones and they virtually indistinguishable. If they both produced on same specification they should be indentical.

Every reviewer got 1TB etched model and they were all astonished. Maybe except for one youtuber, who didn't like "fuzziness" that apparently was introduced by etched screen. Anyone who believed the etched screen would "ruin the display" was very strange for me. Even if there was noticeable difference - 1TB is still getting you the display everyone loved. But it's nice to see decent tests of everything. Good job!

great comparison! I was on the fence for sure!! I'm assuming also, using things like Decky and the 'vibrancy' options that were made available for the LCD Deck, those could also help the etched screen pop "as normal"?

[@s01itarygaming]

From what I've read, Valve didn't go as glue happy on the screens with the OLED model, so doing anything that would require removing the screen (i.e. front shell swap) *should* be easier!

I’d be more concerned about the LE BOE screens versus the Samsung on the lower models. As a LE purchaser I came to the realization I have a dead pixel. The BOE panels seem to have more flaws versus the Samsung models and it’s disappointing but it’s time to start the RMA process.

[@gdpiscopo]

[@rileyhance318]

you can add a screen protector to an antiglare and it will fill in the etching as shown on the dave2d video if you are worried about it.

[@RedMageGaming]

I’ve tried to explain this exact trade off to people who talk bad about the etched screen. Thanks for taking the time to make a video showing it off. The reflection issue was not really about direct light sources, but about the mirror effect. I prefer matte screens because of this, I rather lose a little perceived vibrancy and not be able to see myself looking back at me in the screen.

[@BenkaiDebussy]

I think it really depends on the person. For whatever reason, my mind just automatically "filters out" mirrored stuff on glossy screens. I wonder if it has something to do with having worn thick glasses my entire life, causing me to just automatically ignore most reflections.

My newest glasses, made in 2021 with latest Essilor lens coating, I can't even notice any reflections at all, plus it now also repels water so, when they get dirty, all I gotta do is clean them with water and hand soap, rinse and they don't even need to be dried with a cloth afterwards anymore, avoiding potential scratches! I really just can't understand why they don't put these amazing coatings on screens as well...

This is interesting to watch, but something to consider is this; don’t worry about the screen, if you plan on getting a screen protector (you should) then you can pick and choose what you want. You want 1Tb model but not the glass? Get a clear screen protector. You want the 512gb but want etched glass? Get an etched glass screen protector. That should remove some of the choice
