    I’m glad someone made it but it’s just not a great value proposition.

    Even if it shipped to the EU where OLED devices have usually been more popular (less iPhones), it’s a crappy 16:9 shorter screen, it looks like a bit of a pain to install and it’s really expensive.

    It’s kinda wild to me there ever was an LCD steam deck to begin with, even my last handheld - the Vita - had OLED, but I guess they wanted it to be as cheap as possible which is admirable.

    I do like that it exists, but the change from 16:10 to 16:9 is a hard no for me. Probably the only off the shelf option for a screen to mash into the device though. Plus, the cost of it is nearly half the cost of just getting a refurb OLED deck, can sell the LCD one and get a new one for roughly the same overall cost as upgrading without all the downsides.

      Honestly, I’ve watched the creator’s yt videos and I can’t notice a difference in the height of the screen. In the first video, he addressed the height difference and stated that he couldn’t get one the same height because valve had it custom made.

      With that said, I’ve never been one to focus on bezel size or be perturbed by it.
