Best combo to remote play from a Gaming PC (Moonlight/Sunshine) atm is Gamesir G8+ Plus controller attached to a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, period. 11" OLED screen is unbeatable. Legion Go is second Best, because of the still only LCD screen + too heavy and uncomfortable yet much smaller screen (8.8") than Galaxy Tab S9 (11"). Also, the Tab S9 is better and arguably more practical than Legion Go and all the other handhelds at streaming Movies, series, anime and UA-cam because of the better and bigger OLED screen, and it's also more Comfortable to use and to carry on for reading books and mangas. Finally, 1600p resolution 120 fps over remote play is harder to accomplish on the Legion Go than the 1200p 120 fps of the S9 (requires far less internet bandwidth to achieve native resolution). Also The S9 costs less €€€.
I had the G cloud, ditched it due to the thumb sticks and triggers. I have the portal I love the haptics and triggers but the stuttering on from the screen due to the 59hz refresh rate. Ultimately I use my steam deck or a gamesir G8 attached to my iPad or phone and it works so well. Was interested in the legion go or ROG Ally X.
Yeah it sounds like a lot of the issues I had with the gcloud and portal, they were great devices for sure but I wanted something that felt better with latency. I went with the legion go and absolutely love it, latency and the joysticks are incredible. Although it’s definitely much larger, I know the deck or the ROG ally can get you amazing latency results too and are more portable/less heavy than the legion is
I started with telescopic controllers, but they were holding a connection to my iPhone. Then I moved the G Cloud. It would have been a great device if Logitech took it seriously. The thumb sticks are two small. It also should have back buttons like the Steam Deck. Next, I moved to Steam Deck LCD and then the OLED. I still have the OLED and it’s great no complaints besides it not playing triple A games. FOMO started to kick and I bought the Ally X and it’s great, but too small for my hands. Plus, paying $800 for remote play was a stretch (I had the intention of selling the OLED). I returned Ally a few days later. I was able to find an open box Go for $550 at Best Buy. If I like it, I’ll keep it and list the OLED on eBay. The OLED is great, but once you start using more powerful handheld it’s going to hard not to notice the Decks shortcomings.
The best and most honest review so far. I have gcloud and the joy stick is one thing but the decoding time really bothers me which no other UA-camr notice. I may go pick up legion Go now after watching this video. Thank you
I appreciate that thank you! Yeah the decoding latency I think is what really throws your aim off with the GCloud, it’s just enough to make you overcorrect or miss your target
If you don’t mind me asking, how is the battery life on the Legion Go when streaming from your pc? I’m assuming since you aren’t pushing the GO super hard playing natively, streaming will give you more battery time?
I might have missed it but what are you using to stream to the legion go? I heard you mention moonlight on the gcloud i think but didnt hear the legion go. Im half asleep.
Im on the fence for buying either this lenovo legion or steam deck oled. I will be streaming 90% of the time. However, Steam deck seems great but this screennn. What do you think?
I love the legion go, the screen is amazing. Unfortunately I can’t speak for the deck, I’ve never played on one but I’d imagine the OLED screen is also really nice

That's a solid open box find, I hope you enjoy the Legion Go!

Any chance you could share some of your settings for moonlight/sunshine?

It’s actually pretty solid, I’d peg it at around 4 hours streaming. Still not as good as something like LG cloud orbit but still pretty good imo
I might have missed it but what are you using to stream to the legion go? I heard you mention moonlight on the gcloud i think but didnt hear the legion go. Im half asleep.
I am also using moonshine on the legion go

Get the Legion is way more powerful than the steam deck, and the display on Legions is awesome. You would be like so impressed with the display
@@blastu2fool i bought the legion, so happy
