I was wondering how many of you out there who ordered the OLED model on release already got their Deck? Mine is stuck at “packaged items” for a couple of days and I am starting to get anxious when I get it.

    I upgraded to an OLED from an OG 512. I definitely don’t think it was a “must have” upgrade, but I was never really bothered by the LCD.

    The only thing I have approaching a complaint, which is more of a “huh I didn’t actually think about that”, is that on the LE the charging LED shows through the transparent case from the front. I think I can probably come up with some way to fix that (or at least make it much dimmer from the front).

      Yeah I had the exact same thought - “huh, transparent case and charging led” - but I hear they’re going to come out with an update to adjust the intensity of it, so that may help that.

      I also upgraded from OG 512 - personally love the OLED so far. Screen is really nice, battery life will be great to have on my business trips, and the clickiness of the Steam and … buttons is a definite improvement. Do you need any of these things? No… but they are really nice things.

        Oh, nice. I’m also wondering if I can’t paint part of the light pipe so it doesn’t shine outward (as much?). Or print some sort of replacement with opaque sides. We’ll see if I ever decide I’m bothered enough by it to actually do that.

        Yep, totally agreed. Though, I finally started one of my 4 HDR games (Death Stranding) and if I knew it was going to make this much difference, I might have been clamoring for it sooner. Though, I don’t know if DS is hamming it up/designed more for HDR at the expense of the quality without it.
