    Glad to be part of the first 1000 subs. One of the better casts that cover the Deck.
    I'm not all too sad about having a BOE screen on my LE Deck. I've heard on a subreddit that you can overclock these screens up to 133hz. Samsung screens can't even break 100 hz using the same method.
    38:34 Give your games another try if you hadn't since the 3.5.5 SteamOS update dropped. My LCD's latency dropped significantly. I feel no difference in controller latency from my LCD and OLED Decks when playing Elden Ring when it was, for me, unplayable prior to update.
    Started to play Cyberpunk last night on the OLED. Love the Steam Deck video settings preset. Looks good enough with a near locked 40fps@40hz. What blows me away is the HDR. Colors are so vibrant. I have to squint from being indoors to going outside in the sun... just wow.

      so good to have you here dude. Didn't know that about the BOE panels, that's really interesting. and I think you win the new name game for the OLED "LE Deck"... amazing!! (i know it's the limited edition, but that name could stick!)

    Great show guys, subscribed! I sold my LCD to upgrade to the OLED and it is jaw dropping how amazing it looks. I have a 2tb drive on the way too. I'm not sure if I want the etched screen protector, but I'm glad you say it doesn't detract from the screen much. I might order that too to protect the screen.

      Awesome! Thank you! Honestly the etched screen protector was a really pleasant surprise.

    Two words “Steam” “Deck”. Wow oh wow is this device impressive. I cannot put into words how good it is, I myself have never owned one and I don’t know much about it but I can assure you guys it’s probably the best thing you’ll ever use. From the new OLED screen to the weight of the device. It really does blow every other handheld console/pc out of the water. From new AAA games to retro games by emulating them it’s really something else! It really does revolutionise gaming and it’s making the future of gaming look really really exciting. I have never owned one and I have no idea how good they are!!! Thanks guys!

    BOE is not "best on earth" you just got trolled, it's a relatively new to the market Chinese brand, but they're making tremendous progress in OLED technology thanks to the massive Chinese phone market. This year every Chinese phone has a BOE screen with over 1000nit brightness and some flagships have got their latest panels with insane 4000nit brightness.
    So far it does appear that only the BOE panels have a chance of dead pixels, but other than that the BOE is slightly better because it has a symmetrical pixel grid where every pixel has the same black gaps on the sides, where as Samsung has an asymmetrical layout where there's a big gap every 2 pixels, and this can cause the screen to look more grainy, especially at low brightness. There's also been reports of uniformity and color temperature drifts on the Samsung screen at lower brightness, none of which is a problem on the BOE.

      You're totally right, I did get trolled! It's actually Beijing Oriental Electronics according to the net, since filming this I looked into it a bit more and you're totally right there! I saw some macro shots of the Samsung VS BOE pixels on reddit, very interesting! It seems the BOE screens are also able to be overclocked to a higher refresh rate vs the Samsung screen. Either way, I have no issues with my 512GB Samsung screen!

      Yes the BOE screens are better if u don't get Dead pixels they have the better inky blacks no grain , no tint and no mura

    as much as I'm impressed by the OLED screen upgrade. I am more perplexed at why they had such an awful screen in the first place. I mean even $60 Chinese android tablets have better screens, how is it possible that they couldn't at least get a decent LCD?

    • @xpressbeats501
      @xpressbeats501 Рік тому +3

      Apparently cause of the pandemic and all the supply chains being backed up etc they had slim pickings for a lot of the parts and the screen was one of them.

      I agree with you brother. That was the first thing I said to myself. I think they did it to cut corners, but the screen is the last thing u want to cut corners on because it is the highlight of the handheld.

      Sony proved with its lcd panel on ps Portal that there are good lcd displays on market. Valve installed a very Cheap and awful screen. U can Not Tell me that in 2022 they didnt think about oled. That was a strategic thing to Sell many steam decks as possible. There are many customers who bought the steam Deck twice because the first Version screen is cheap.

    Switch OLED user here since it launched in 2021 - fantastic little device. Just bought the 512 OLED SD (Samsung panel, I checked). Currently I'm not seeing any difference between the Switch and SD OLEDs, they both look amazing. Can anyone recommend a good game, or games, to test HDR as maybe that's where I might see a difference?

    got a 1tb etched screen version with a samsung screen last week, BOE seems to land in the limited edition with less of a chance to get it in the 1tb/512gb ones

  • @xpressbeats501
    @xpressbeats501 Рік тому

    Honestly i think because of how much they sell these devices at a "loss" overall, the etched glass probably allows them some headroom to to make some more money back by adding something that doesn't cost much to add or manufacture but then increase profits a bit. thats my honest opinion which is okay because they don't force it, but they raise the appeal and incentives with the limited edition and the 1tb version with it on.

    Never seen a bunch of steam deck fan boys in my life lol how much did valve pay u guys lol? With all this gaslighting i hope the deck finally gets out of nintendo switch shadow and actually move units lol. The deck is only god! On youtube lol but in the real world is niche and a flop sales wise.
    Its funny how nintenso opened the gates to handheld gaming since whenever, adding to the fact that the switch, took it ro new heights, with phenomenal sales and popularity, but all the youtubers and bloggers hate on it saying that its outdated and weak. Here comes the steam deck whichbis somewhat outdated and weak and only a little bit more powerful than the switch, which now suffers feom the same issues as the switch, but gets a pass 😂.

      I know how it comes across if you're new to what we do on 128Kb, but honestly if you;d seen any of our previous videos across the channels you would know that we are MASSIVE Nintendo Switch fans. We love the SD for the fact that it's brought to handheld gaming what PlayStation should have done. Switch & Steam Deck to us are different things... related, sure, but for out and out game lovers like us both need to exist.
