Just received my Steam Deck OLED. The screen looks so good.
Just received my Steam Deck OLED. The screen looks so good.
Also one of the biggest issues with the normal version was the touchscreen pulling rate. 180hz on the OLED feel SO good.
90hz screen with 180hz polling is what my phone uses as well, it's nice that the deck has now caught up to that.
Also remember to leave your original deck on when downloading games on the new one so it can transfer them locally, which should be faster. There's a setting for that, but I think it's on by default.
It tries to download locally but it’s faster to download it from steam CDN 🫣
The local transfer compresses it with the same format the CDN would use, so if the local PC turns off, it just continues via Valve's servers. The downside is that the compression is quite aggressive. My PC with a 5950X can only go like 300Mbps on local transfer, so the CDN ends up being faster for me since I have gigabit internet and the Deck can get 600 Mbps even over WiFi.
For people with slow Internet speeds, it's obviously a great feature though.
You can't transfer games from the deck, unfortunately.
At least not last time I tried.
According to the documentation, you should be able to https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/46BD-6BA8-B012-CE43. Unfortunately, I don't have big enough games to test, and I think it detects that my internet bandwith is higher than the connection to the Deck
This seems to be implemented in the Steam Deck client update from November 16th
Haven’t tried it myself though.
Why I'm just doing a straight swap by throwing my current deck SSD into the new one XD
It works, but deck needs to be on. I just pulled a Grim Dawn install from my deck to my desktop PC on Tuesday.
Not trying to be "that guy" but it's *polling rate. I remember because it's the rate at which the system asks for (or gets, practically speaking it doesn't matter for this analogy if it's asking or being told) updates about the mouse/pointer position from the pointing device (mouse, touchscreen, whathaveyou). Like polling a voter for their opinion.
My bad, English is not my native language. Thanks for the correction
Not your bad in the slightest, friend! I'm trying to help, not mock ❤️
A picture doesn't justify, the fact that I don't see edge bleeding makes me want to cry a little though
One of my friends just ordered theirs, excited to hear their impressions.
Looks great from the pics!
I’m tempted to buy one myself but the price tag leaves me a bit on edge to do so for something that very likely might just end up collecting dust because I don’t go anywhere enough to warrant using it over my PC
I can sell you my 512GB SD if you’re interested.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I have my PC at home, a Steam Link if I really want to play it on the TV, and a couple MacBooks that I use on the go
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.
