As far a OLED VRR goes, there are already variable refresh rate OLED phones going to 120hz, so the technology exist at smaller levels. Oleds do use more power than LCD. Thats another reason why it probably didnt launch, sw2 life is already low. The OLED Switch 2 if there probably is one eventually would probably have a revised chipset as the OLED SW1 did. But you are right to bring up the power draw point, I don't know how well that would work with the system in portable mode usage time. Honestly, hadn't even really thought about that side of it for the sw2 much until now knowing how fast the battery drains as is in portable mode.

The OLED in the Deck uses less power than the horrible LCD screen (according to Valve, it is part of the reasons for increased batery life), and it's a little bit larger too. Even w/ HDR it still uses less power on average.

Obviously displaying a black image, the OLED has a huge advantage too, as all pixels are turned off and it is using next to 0 power, while the opposite is true of LCD.

Well, I guess keep enjoying your indie library running at medium settings. And please, complaining about waiting for devs to patch Switch games while praising the Deck is bad comedy. Oh, and us real ones only use DDR pads for 2D games.

99% of Deck games run on max settings and don`t need patches from devs. wth!

Another thread where Steam Deck owners let everybody know how much better it is then everything else.

I've been waiting for this. I missed the other 10,000 threads.

It never gets old, though.

the ergonomics are the biggest issue with the Switch 2... even tho the Deck is heavier and bulkier, I can play on it for much longer without issues.

I really hope Nyxi or another decent manufacturer will release ergonomic replacement joycons with full sized sticks soon.

and by decent I'm pretty much saying anyone but Hori... fuck Hori... it's almost impressive how bad their controllers are compared to most modern third party controllers. they somehow still feel like those shitty "give it to your little brother" 10€ controllers from 2004, while the rest of the industry is rivaling or succeeding first party offerings now. their Switch 1 Split Pad Pro is the worst 3rd party controller I owned in a decade. impressively cheap feeling, awful sticks and lacking in every single feature lol.

Just being a smart ass.

Probably a bit too early for any criticism. People are still in the honeymoon phase and emotionally attached to their purchase.

I mean its like an objective fact, bro. I can play my entire childhood library of games on top of being able to play new games. It's also a functional Linux computer that you can mod games with.
