When the Steam Deck first launched, our extensive review<\/a> specifically called out the “ho-hum” LCD screen as \u201cthe system’s biggest heartbreak.\u201d The \u201cwashed-out\u201d color reproduction and \u201cobvious light bleed\u201d were among the more obvious effects of Valve \u201ccut[ting] corners to save cash\u201d on the Deck\u2019s 7-inch LCD panel.<\/p>\n

In the many months since that launch, Valve has offered frequent <\/a>software updates<\/a> to fix other early issues in areas like game compatibility, stability, and system-level features. But that lackluster LCD screen has remained the Steam Deck\u2019s biggest flaw, a headache that users need to tolerate to enjoy a portable PC gaming experience that’s otherwise quite low on compromises.<\/p>\n

With the Steam Deck OLED, Valve is ready to eliminate that issue. The new unit, which goes on sale later this week<\/a>, sports a brilliant screen that\u2019s finally on par with the one Nintendo provided to eager Switch owners over two years ago<\/a>. Paired with a handful of other small quality-of-life hardware upgrades, the new version of Valve\u2019s handheld should arouse plenty of jealousy in those who are stuck with a now-outdated LCD unit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
