Your message is 2 weeks old?😂 get it together tubi!
I purchased the tomtoc handheld carry bag and it’s awesome!
The lighter weight was a feature I didn’t think would matter much but it always surprises me when I pick up the OLED for some reason.
So much this. I had the old one, so when I first picked it up, I thought Valve forgot to include the internal battery.
The whole steam deck is such power move. It's like Valve's saying: "Sony has ps, microsoft has xbox, nintendo has switch, Valve has pc." With a device that even allows using launchers like epic or portal gaming for ps/xbox, it's still such a confident, big balls power move.
Oled truly spoils you from anything else.
And HDR 🤯in games that support it like bg3
I’ll be fine then as I haven’t got an oled one and they aren’t sold in my country .
Nah, I switched from the OLED back to the Legion Go after about 3days. The performance is just way too poor. And maxing out at 800p is cute for a small screen. But 1600p on a LARGER screen and still better frame times, is just far better than having an OLED screen with less brightness.
@@ATLsF1N3ST91 Lol I'm talking about Oled screens overall this has nothing to do with the deck's performance.
@charaznable8072 what? I know it has nothing to do with the performance. The low fan speeds and RAM is why it has poor performance....
Love my Oled. As a dad it’s super hard to find time to play. The switch oled and steam deck oled saved gaming for me.
I was always on the fence about one. Then my wife and my daughter bought me the oled 512gb for Christmas and man I had that moment were I was just like wow how can this thing do this. Being able to share my account on steam is awesome.
Awesome family , you’re truly blessed!
Thank you I always try to stay grateful and humble. And I teach my kids family first always.
My wife also bought me one and I’m super impressed
More awesome than the oled 512 is having a wife and daughter that respect your love of steamdeck gaming.
Yeah I feel like that's how we should be. I don't always understand everyone's hobby but if it's healthy and makes them happy I will support and respect it.
My sd came today! No regrets!!! Im really loving it. I sold my switch oled for this. One of the best decisions this year. My holidays are being well spent now, with family and with my sd 😊
The battery life is the biggest upgrade for me. It’s doubled my Baldur’s Gate 3 playtime to two and a half hours. Shout out to the longer charging cable too - makes couch playing so much easier.
Yes, from two to two and a half, not really a worth upgrade if you have the og steamdeck
wow , only 2,5h ? I get 2h of BG3 on my OG steam deck.
@@squiddymutepeople seem to use different graphics settings
@@straubulous9511 not in act3
Bro how do you drop your device that often to the floor? I get how someone can accidentally drop their mobile phone,but bigger devices like sd or an iPad for instance should really be treated more careful
I got the 1TB OLED after using the LCD since release day (so ~1.5 years!) and it was a great decision - it is definitely an upgrade, love the etched glass screen, and the ability to use the internal case only is awesome.
is the bluriness introduced by the anti-glare screen noticable?
@@Aycheffeit actually is not! I had the original etched and now the OLED one. It somehow looks super clean and crisp with the inky blacks and higher contrast. I forget it’s etched whereas the original I couldn’t stop noticing it etched. If that makes sense… lol
Definitely not worth. But if u got the money to spend and u like the deck then why not!
@@TheCarnivaI value is subjective of course - vast majority of my gaming last two years was on Steam Deck, so for me it was "definitely YES worth" ... from your comment, I wonder more why you are watching and commenting on a video for a device you don't like?
@@Aycheffe No - I had standard LCD and it definitely had a lot of reflections depending on lighting. I find the OLED crisper and more vibrant and lacking the reflections.
I hope they do translucent limited runs in other colors in the future. Steam nailed it. Happy holidays
Honestly it shouldn't be limited runs. They should just sell the Deck in multiple colors like Nintendo did with the Gameboy back in the day. It may make it harder to get a specific color Deck, but having that option without having to worry you won't get one because they're limited is nice.
@@husky3gagreed completely. I'm so sick of limited run crap. Just put the different colored shells out for everyone.
Glad to say, I'm really loving my Steam Deck OLED Limited Edition. The Wi-Fi upgrade was Huge and the anti glare seems to help with where I usually game (sort of outside but in a vehicle). Battery improvement is noticeable too. Have mine set to 45fps lock at 90hz. I was impressed by how rugged the LCD deck was, dropped onto the metal floor of my work truck a few times out of the case. The quick velcro flap on the new case is great for this! I am going to be adding a screen protector soon.
Really loving this device. Ordered for the wife for xmas... aaaand I also benefit from it. Controls are good, screen is amazing, performance is good, KDE is great, so is the big picture mode. The desktop mode really works too, you could easily use this device as your daily driver main PC.
Bought both at launch, excessively happy with both purchases so much so that I got some family members some Steam Decks and hooked them up with some games. I love seeing them pestering me, asking me to join their multiplayer session. I get to enjoy LAN parties again and spending time gaming with family, Linux powered handheld PCs are the best.
Damn you rich rich lol
Big money can you buy me one 🥲😂
The OLED screen on the switch makes a huge difference in can only imagine having that upgrade on my og deck lol. I hope they continue using OLED screens moving forward.
How do you install mods on the deck? Like just a beginner description? I know nothin lol, is it easy to do?
Will the tomtoc carrying bag hold two controllers? (I have two 8Bitdo Pro 2's)
I ordered a 1tb steam deck about a month ago, does this mean I got all these upgrades even though it’s not the limited edition version?
Bro oled spoils the crap out of everyone. My iPhone pro is oled, my 55 inch lg tv is oled, my switch is oled and last night I ordered the steam deck oled. There’s no going back. Game on peeps. I’m so happy to be alive in these current times.
Steam should start mass production and distributions. There is a massive demand of Steam deck outside of US too.
I got tired of waiting - after OLED launched and grey imported one to my region.
Over paid yes :( such a fail by valve
@@AbnormalObs Same here. There is no official shipment for Steam Deck in my country.
@@ArcadeArea I was really hopeful after the KOMODO launch that it would be an incremental global rollout. I'll be really disappointed if my region gets official distribution in the next few months but I did my research on the distributor so it's as good as gets :)
*I just changed my handle in case you noticed!*
Very helpful buying guide. Thanks!
Have they fixed the oled screen PWM?
One small but significant option, get a rubberized back and grip shell that has a wrist lanyard mount. It takes absolutely nothing away traveling or docking, and if you drop it somehow you've made a conscious decision to fail at life.
I can attest to the screen on the OG model scratching easily. My 64GB model scratched right down the middle the first week I had it before I got a screen protector on. I honestly don't know what caused it because I always babied the hell out of it.
Can you suggest me a good power bank for steam deck, i have samsung 20000mah, but its only 25w, i wanted to buy anker 737 25000mah 140w, but people on reddit said that this battery fried their phones.
Just discovered your channel. Absolutely love that you're a huge fan of Halloween.
I must be one of the lucky ones that never had major issues with the deck. Mine came in around august-sept of 2022 I think, and I have used it a whole lot. I baby my handhelds a lot, but I used to just toss the deck on the nightstand or the desk or hell, just on top of a pile of clothes on a chair and just not care. It's pristine. I don't use it a ton since I've got the PC setup I've always wanted, but man, it almost feels like you're bashing the LCD a bit much. I recently got a switch oled to replace my day 1 since it was starting to show its age real bad, and unless my deck starts doing the same, I'm happy to wait for deck2. It's cool that valve did an actual refresh unlike nintendo's lazy ass rerelease with just a new screen, and that gives me a lot of hope for the future of the deck. That said, I can't justify dishing out yet another $700ish for what is essentially the same thing. I'm glad others have found it to be worth the purchase though. It's an exciting time to be a handheld fan. If 10 year old me was here today seeing all these options on the market, he'd faint. Looking forward to awesome new tech down the line
Getting mine in march can’t wait ❤
I had my lcd deck on the center console in my work truck and took a sharp turn. It literally bounced around the cabin and the footwell. But all I had to do was snapp the shell back together on one corner and it was good as new.
The Deck is built very well. The Deck has an aluminum mid-frame and only a 2-piece shell. The glass on the display is also super thick. It's not a fragile device by any means. My son and my wife have knocked my Deck onto the floor probably 10 times or more and there's barely a scratch on it.
Probably common knowledge here but could you tell me what game you are showing at the beginning (about 45 seconds in)?
Control
@@Reztorr thanks, just bought it
The steam deck oled is amazing . It’s definitely here to stay . This could have been something Xbox could have done but didn’t
iv played this way more then i did with the last deck. im loving it
I don't have a Steam Deck, but once Valve decides to make a Steam Deck 2, I'm getting it. Having played with my brother's Steam Deck, I see its value and quality as an actual gaming PC on the cheap. The second generation will likely give us 1080p60 and at that point, I'll never buy/build another gaming pc again.
Getting the OLED 1TB Steam Deck next week! I can’t wait!
Some games play ok but most good ones will crash.. my oled was a brick out the box would not charge or turn on had to do a battery reboot to get it working
i just got my steam deck oled and the only gripe i have is the transferring of files is weird
It's good to see Max Payne 1 & 2 in your Library! I played through both of those on my Deck (and also made a controller config with a weapon wheel that works with the default key bindings). I love playing older games on this thing.
How good is max payne?
@@lilstewy5091 It's a great series. The first 2 are definitely a product of their time, so the gameplay is fairly simple and the AI pretty much encourages save scumming. But the story is great, and the voice work too. The bullet time mechanics were kind of revolutionary at the time. And the noir comic book style narration between levels is cool.
@@BlakeRosss
I’ll check them out just bought steam deck and I’m looking for games to play, just finished the evil within 1 -2
@@lilstewy5091 Maybe just nostalgia for me but they're my top 10 games. Short and to the point, I've memorized both games after playing them hundreds of times. Never gets old. One thing I do recommend is its easy to get stuck and its hard to solve the puzzles, because they don't make it obvious so just look up what to do. At least it was hard to solve when I first played 20 years ago... lol.
Will a lot of unsupported games eventually work
That red steam deck looks beautiful
It's orange.
I have the original 512 model. I gotta say I’m pretty upset they told us all there won’t be a new one for a while. I guess I’ll keep this until a new one arrives.
"Once we got hold of this thing"
[ hangry aussie sounds ]
HI I just got my new Steam Deck Oled 512gb, a Couple of differences that i Noticed compared to the LCD 512gb Deck, The Oled Outer Case is slightly smaller, there is no pull tab inside the case which helped lifted the deck out of the case, and the 512gb Oled Deck Steam no longer provide a cleaning cloth like they did with the LCD 512Gb Deck 👍
Dude I dropped my Steam Deck LCD from around waist level and I heard a loud THWACK! I only had it for a week and my heart was in my throat as I picked it up, expecting for something to be broken but surprisingly, everything was intact and working. Not even as much as a dent or scratch! Keep in mind that I haven't even tried opening this thing before dropping it, so that might explain how tight everything is on the unit.
I saw somewhere Valve advising people not to open the Deck because it will "loosen" the natural tightness of the unit and dropping it might cause it to break easily.
My OLED LE weighs 620g compared to 640g written on the specs sheet so there’s one more thing they undersold on the website
i was gonna get the 1tb with etched glass, then switched to 512gb with glossy glass. i think i regret more than not regarding this decision, whenever i use my deck when i commute, i have to rise my deck brightness more to just see less reflection.
can anyone give me some some info if i put an etched / matte screen protector, will it have less picture quality compared to 1tb oled with erched glass?
Placing a matte screen protector only makes a minor difference as the black wont look total black otherwise its good.
@@saqqawattuhb7505 thanks for the answer, i mean when it is compared to oled 1tb that alr come with etched glass. will the picture quality worse than it or still comparable
My habits have changed too. I play my 1tb Oled Steam Deck even more than I played my old 512gb LCD deck which was a lot.
5:06 Well steam deck oled 1tb does have the same, out of the box, removable one from bigger ordinary one.
I changed from LE to the 512gb because Ive have the orginal etched and saw my friends glossy oled and changed my order
i want that limited edition SD, but not available in my country :(
I'm still rocking the LCD not enough of an upgrade for the OLED to justify an upgrade, But the screen is beautiful on the OLED for sure, Now if this one breaks then the OLED wil replace it for sure.
Is it worth to buy a regular deck?
Get what you can afford always
And in Australia and New Zealand the only way you can get one is by highly marked up parallel import via a third party.
nice video i will go and get it now
I got OLED few weeks ago, love it.. although I just bought RE4 for XB Series X instead… RE4 can only hit steady 35-44fps on SD, so instead I’ll remote play from XB to SD… but I will say all other RE games run 55-70fps on Deck! Highly recommend.
I miss the quiet keys on my lcd model
Love my limited after the lcd big difference
You should do a video on games that run better via proton on steam deck than natively on windows.
My go to example is [Prototype] by Radical. Game doesnt even launch into the first mission on windows without crashing!
Wish i could afford to upgrade to the oled. I give valve the most credit for how they went about the release of the steam deck. They at least tried to discourage scalping. After the nightmare of trying to aquire a PS5, I very much appreciated that.
Yes ive noticed that the steam deck dpad isnt stellar glad they upgraded it.
I put a screen protector on my Deck from day one I wasn’t risking it 😂😂
Please atleast mention the issues with the wifi. Many including myself cannot connect to Wi-Fi. Even arter factory reset. And yes I done all thats been said about ”fixing” minus disabling specific Hz. Sucks so bad hoppfull for a patch since its ridicolus.
Which game is played at 3:56?
Control Ultimate Edition
I’m not much a PC gamer vs consoles, but still considering a SteamDeck OLED mainly because I’ve been a bit off and on about getting Mega Man X Dive OffLine. I’m just skeptical with the general controls when I 1st played it on Android and hoping I don’t have a hassle with the deck whether I play handheld or maybe if I get the dock and use an XBox controller.
Regardless, this will be a huge 1st for me with SteamOS itself.
The steam deck itself is a FAR better controller than an xbox controller.
@@Wylie288 I’m not really ?ing it. As I said/mentioned XBox controller would be for if/when I’m docking in big picture mode, though. I’m not really too sure what all I’d play vs the the 1 game I mentioned. Its touch controls because it’s more or less a mobile game (Android/iOS) but based on a scrolling platformer are just kind of awkward.
Still have not bought one but I will soon hoping in like 2 weeks
It's come to my attention, you have a striking resemblance to the villain in Mega Mind, Tighten. Great review btw.
Never used a screen protector on anything and never had a scratch, don't think they are needed.
Mine arrives in 4 days 😈
I'm so scared I'm going to drop my Steam Deck Oled, It always goes in the case.
Good thing i don't play this thing handheld that often. Mine sits docked as a DDR arcade simulator, so it's my workout equipment! Can't wait for the steam deck 2.
I abandoned console gaming WHOLESALE for the steam ecosystem. Not only am I full on with the deck, but I'm hoping what I heard is true and the steam deck is a test for not only the console like experience and to boost Linux, but also for their next VR headset, to directly compete with the meta quest line of VR.
honestly mine kept turning on for no reason. was waking up in the case so I sold it. sticking with my lcd steam deck
All I need is official Dual Boot - I really have a huge library of games in other launchers that could be perfect for a handheld.
If you've got that limited edition or the 1TB model you already have a smaller case.
Maybe dual fans?
512gb oled with the glossy screen better than the limited just upgrade the ssd. Glossy>matte on any screen
cept the lack of windows drivers that were promised months ago at this point. you can use a lenovo wifi driver at least
Its the damn frame around the screen I cant handle. Im waiting for them to completely get rid of it, then Ill buy that one.
im going to hold out for a steam deck, im still getting alot of use from my nintendo switch
Steam Deck OLED & Quest 3 ;) Pretty cool pair confirmed.
Great video. You drop electronics like a complete bungler. For the love of god, show your kit some love. Do you wear a human hard case when you travel 😂
Had the Asus one and Oled Steamdeck, after 3 Weeks i gave the Oled back.
Same here, but after a week
I ended up going for the legion go. Wanted a bigger screen with the power.
Sucks to be you
Same, got all of my emulationstation emulators setup and running, and man, do the games look crystal clear and sharp. I do want a SDeck at some point though.
@@MrNickpeck36 im waiting to see if they end up releasing a steam deck 2. If so might end up with it depending on the specs.
@@kurtiskeys483 Same here, just reading about the headaches getting other things running on the SD isn't something I really want to deal with. Plus, I have GP Ultimate, so that's a big deal for me.
SD2 will defiantly be on my radar, though it will be interesting to see where the competition is by the time SD2 is a reality.
@@MrNickpeck36 most definitely. Im sure at that point you will just be paying for the name.
Has anyone used the Cnc alloy backplate that sells on Amazon for $AU200+.
Man coming from the switch to the deck is absolutely amazing.!! 💯
Where is the "new" red Steam Deck in the miniature?
Which I actually clicked for...
6:23 did you forget to edit out the first take there?
Yeah
Those eyes of yours are telling more and more stories😅, keep up the good work though nonetheless, we certainly appreciate your work.
My 2024 resolution is to spend more time PC gaming (I was (and still mostly am) far more of a console gamer up until now). I’m heavily considering getting a Steam Deck, as it looks like a good in-between of console to PC.
You're that guy from Austin's channel!
Where are you from? Illinois? Peoria here!!!
My friend Hope is from Peoria! I'm in Detroit
@@DeckReady congrats on the Lions!!! My step dad is from Grosse Point!!!
Oled is still missing some windows drivers
wish they would make some budget PCs that are controller ready. I don't want another portable console just something I can play some PC only games with an xbox controller. (7daystodie with/without mods)
I’m very impressed with the OLED. Shit, I was impressed with the original.
how are u dropping ur deck so much, ive had mine almsot 2 years and have never had any issues with dropping or breaking anything. didn't realize the durability was an issue lmao
I don't know. I've never dropped any device more than this one. Dumb!
my gf got me the limited edition for Christmas... guess im buying a ring now 😂
You have to!
What’s “screen bleed”? Can someone who’s knowledgeable explain with an example please
Probably means backlight bleed, something you can get on LCD screens where the backlight shines through around the edges or in corners
Its the best! I don't play my consoles or computer anymore, kinda makes me feel guilty for neglecting them. Lol
Bro how do you keep dropping these? lol I've had both the LCD and OLED models day 1 and never dropped them and play/take them with me everywhere I go.
Try attaching a wrist strap to your deck. I've found in both my Switch Lite and my Steam Deck usage that the best screen protector is a wrist strap!
I have the normal lcd steam deck i play wow on it sod and retail on my work i love this deck i hope i can later this year buy me a Oled !!!
i love the steam deck for the fact it puts more development into linux gaming which is the future ...windows is just bloated ...but valve seriously needed to have a trade in program cause valve knew they was releasing a much better product with the steam deck OLED specifically the smaller screen bezel, better buttons, better battery like come on valve and no trade in ..and tried to down play this thing is like a steam deck 1.5 ...so all in good device for linux gaming but scummy move on valve knowing they would be release a better version right around the corner.
it wouldnt be a limited edition if it didnt run out of copies...
