Also one of the biggest issues with the normal version was the touchscreen pulling rate. 180hz on the OLED feel SO good.

I guess my eyes are bad but I can never tell the difference between lcd and oled. I have an oled switch and a normal one and the only way I can tell the difference is screen size and the kickstand.
try a black screen with white text like in the image, the different will be night and day
The blacks are pitch black because they aren’t illuminated.
wtf, it's literally night and day. i don't own a steam deck (and i have just 5$ in my bank account lol) but I'll never go back to ips in my phone ever since i got oled one
It stands out more in the dark, where black pixels are actually off. Things that appear on screen look like they’re just floating in a black void.
It's pretty obvious out of the box, too, because the color profile defaults to vivid. You can change it back to "natural" to match what the developers intended, but it cranks up the color when you get it.
But yeah, blacks generally are sexy.
You must have really bad eyes. It is rare to see any technology where the difference is as big as that between LCD and OLED.
