    Sure, but someone did point out that it gives you an option to get a better screen and still come in $100 under the price of the lowest OLED model.

    That said, yeah, I generally want to upset the tuned ecosystem of the Steam Deck hardware. Everything is tuned very tightly to those exact specifications, so I prefer keeping things default there.

      Even if you ignore the storage cost, replacing the screen is $100 worth of labor, easy.

      But you still need an SSD to match the cheapest OLED model, not to mention all the other small improvements (and not so small) you’re missing out on.

      So, unless you just want to tinker, in my opinion this doesn’t make sense anymore, since the OLED was released. Unlucky timing from the company that made / sells this screen.
