The option is not showing for me.

Decent amount of reports of the limited edition having dead pixels. Now I'm scared for my delivery tomorrow.

People say Ori 2 is a particularly good game to showcase the HDR. I believe it also works fairly well in Diablo 4, Resident Evil 3 Remake, and I'm sure there's more, but so many people are still waiting for the device to arrive (myself included). Next week or so there'll probably be dozens and dozens of good choices, and in a month or two, hopefully hundreds (currently ~400 are listed on the PCWiki).

So nothing. No change in status. I guess it's luck of the draw with their system and it doesn't matter if you ordered 19 minutes after launch or a day later. However, the charge went through on my credit card a few days ago. I'll be patient but I hope it arrives before the holidays.

How much do you care about HDR and OLED? I just got mine and damn Ori is a sight to see. That bright white and the sunset blasting at your eyes in all its glory, and at 90fps too. Battery life is going to be sick as well.
If Steam OS, HDR+OLED, and the battery life don't count as much for you, then Ally for sure.

OLED is definitely important for me, I don't care at all about battery life as I only use it at home. I'm just curious how good LCD on Ally really is.

OLED deck IMO. Not a fan of windows on these devices.

Its not bad but it doesnt compare, its a no contest in screen department.

It's not even HDR. HDR is pretty sweet, you get impressed right away with Ori. And plenty of games will get HDR I bet, already like a dozen work well, but could easily be hundreds in a few months.
But on the Deck you have to accept the newest games are going to struggle unless they have Switch ports lol. Not all of them, especially if they are PS4/PS5, then they're usually ok, but once you get to PS5 only games, that may be too much. But there's no shortage of games to play, so I don't see the problem myself. I can't play game X, but I can play A. B. C. D. E. and F. Steam Deck 2 will play game X, so as long as you aren't deadset on playing every new release on the device, the power isn't that big a deal. And a large majority of new releases still run, just not every AAA.

Yeah the reason i dont care about the performance part is that I wouldn't want to play Alan Wake 2 at very low with FSR be it on the deck or ally when I have a 4080 PC and a PS5. And even if I wanted I would stream, for which the deck screen will look better.
Minsc

Yeah, I haven't used streaming much, but since they're adding HDR to Moonlight eventually that will be another plus for deck, and I imagine that PS5 streaming software will also get HDR at some point as well. Haven't really tried either yet. But people say the Moonlight one works incredibly well at 90fps as is, and even better when HDR comes.

OK, after consideration Steam Deck it is. 512 GB model to get the most out of that sweet, sweet OLED. As I'm in The Netherlands, I wouldn't be surprised if it arrives tomorrow or on Monday.

I had the choice between OLED SD, Ally and Legion Go. I chose SD OLED. I love the fact this thing is made specifically for games (much like the Switch) and it is primarily a gaming device made for us gamers! Not saying the others aren't but Valve seem to have heavily invested in the Deck and I love the care they've taken with it. Just wish we had an official release here in Australia! Already onto the 2nd iteration and still no Aussie (official) release date in sight!

Mines in the packaged items phase. Hopefully it moves quick. If not, no biggie. I got my screen protector and track pad things in. Just need my “case” for it.
I’m gonna be asking a lot of questions here once I get it.

So while on paper the weight difference of the devices isn't that much, the lightness of the OLED is immediately noticable.
The Dpad is much improved! it doesn't have as much resistance as before when pressing, this is big for me, I was resigned to play 2d games with the left stick on my lcd model as I hated the feel and resistance of its Dpad.

Love the comparison. The HDR looks even better in person too, Ori is great. Will be really nice to see more and more games add it in, I'm particularly looking forward to playing Midnight Suns w/ HDR on the Deck once that's fixed up.

Loads of games support HDR, why people keep bringing up Ori?

Thanks for your post, the reports of the not so great dpad had me hesitant to order the oled (this would be my first deck). Have you tried shmups, as well?

Are you going to continue your RE thread after some beautiful SD OLED gameplay?Damn.....mine's in Atlanta.
I wonder if I could just drive over to the UPS distribution hub and ask nicely....

The screen looks great - just out of interest, does anyone have an issue with slightly loose x and y buttons? If you shake the deck gently they rattle - if you move your thumb across them they rattle. They have a little play left and right in the hole I think.
Might be nitpicking - but don’t recall this with the LCD one.

THE DUCK
voted poster of the decade by bots
Only had a short time with it so far but:
- Feels nice in the hands than the old one
- Screen is amazing, and a very nice size
- Batocera doesn't work yet
- Did manage to get Chaiki to work (kind of pain, but should be ok now that it's set up), works very, very well with the oled steam deck. Its not quite as "clear" due the lower resution vs the portal, but it's completely ruined me on the portal so far. When I switch back the the portal, which I love the controls, the size and sharpness, but when I move (say, look left or right) there is so much more smearing going on. I had to go back and forth a couple of times just to see if it was just me exaggerating and so far it doesn't seem to be the case. It was the one thing I was most complaining about on the portal (corrrcted, said steam deck by accident), so it's not a complete shock but when you switch directly between the two it's more obvious.
Also of course the black levels and contrast are also better on the steam deck, even though the portal screen is actuall quite good in terms of contrast and color.
Going to try and get some xbox local direct streaming going, had it working breifly and it seemed fast/responsive but the keys are mapped yet so I have some work to do.

My diagonals were really bad on the LCD one. Couldn't play THPS on it or fighting games.especially down left was hard as fuck to press.So while on paper the weight difference of the devices isn't that much, the lightness of the OLED is immediately noticable.

Would you say its greatly improved?
