    An LCD screen immediately makes me not want to buy it. Guess I’ll wait for the OLED model to release. What a fucking joke

      Same, but I’m probably going to play most of the games docked so I can use a big screen anyway. Maybe I’ll splurge on a 4k OLED TV too (assuming I can find one that doesn’t try to be smart).

      An oled would have been an instant no-buy from me. I like my devices to actually last.

      Inb4 “muh modern OLEDs last a long time, its a fixed problem!” - No it isn’t. They last a bit longer than before, but I literally have burn in on a modern OLED that has the “fixes” right now and it drives me nuts.

        Never once had OLED burn in, just don’t leave your device with a static screen for hours and hours…?

          Do you know what you can leave on a static screen for hours and hours without damage?

          An LCD screen.

          Not to say that I do that, but many softwares and games have static UI and HUD elements, like healthbars and notifications.

        Hate to tell you this but LCDs also can get ghosting (burn in) and they can get it easier than OLED screens.

          Im aware of ghosting, but every LCD device I currently own, each with thousands of hours of use, do not have this issue, whereas both my pixel 2xl and my pixel 6 do, with some faint hints on my OLED Steam Deck (I tried to give OLED a third chance). My wife’s name is permanently etched into the top of my 2xl, and my 6 has extreme color fading from where the notification bar is.

            Ghosting is caused by a scene or display sitting still over time. It doesn’t just happen with normal use.

              Okay, but burn-in DOES happen with normal use on OLEDs (literally have 2, almost 3 screens with it under normal daily use, not leaving it on for prolonged periods)
