      Let me get this straight. Valve decides to break into a market with a niche product few people have purchased from other vendors in the past (GPD, Aya, etc), says "we want this to be affordable and just work", releases a 1.0 to test the waters, and you think their initial device should have had OLED?

      I can see why you don't run any companies.

      It was led, imo more than good enough for my use, and I don't have to worry about burn in.

          Ah thanks, I'll try to remember this going forward.

          Alas I've already forgotten, old man brain syndrome. Crystal display not diode.

        Do you worry about burn in on your phone? Your phone probably has way more static elements that are constantly on than the Steam Deck will.

        I used my last phone for 4 years and thousands of hours and could only barely tell there was some burn in if I used a white image at max brightness and looked at the status bar. Burn in isn't really a problem with modern OLEDs.

        It was a poor quality lcd panel and burn in hasn't been an issue on oleds for years now ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      I still don't get the fuss about OLED. As someone who prefers relatively low brightness and contrast settings on most displays that are not used in the summer sun, I've never felt like decent non-OLED panels were lacking for me.
