I debated on purchasing the OLED to replace my LCD Steam Deck recently, but upon seeing the price I noped right out. Instead, I bought a 1Tb SSD, a DeckSight OLED display, and an ExtremeRate Shell replacement for way less than a new OLED.
I ended up buying a second hand white limited edition for 650 and sold my lcd for 400 pretty quickly. I got lucky with that deal.
It's funny because I bought a new case for my Steam Deck but it's also a launch model and, it's like, do I keep it the way it was or play with it?
