        Yeah I’m confused, my SteamDeck seems to do fine at 720-900p depending on what I’m playing, but any higher resolution and it’s going to tank pretty hard.

      You missed the Firmware Changes that must be redone every single time there is an update.

    I don’t get the obsession with high res screens for portables. The dpi is already so high that you can’t really see a difference, plus you’re gonna be taking a pretty significant hit to performance and battery.

    The DeckHD is definitely a much nicer screen than stock. The improvement visually feels like going from a Nintendo switch LCD to OLED. But it was a bit involved to install (more comparable to cell phone repair than laptop/pc, think multiple layers built around a frame with heavy use of glue). I haven’t seen a Steam Deck OLED in person but it seems to be as good as DeckHD’s LCD offering. I primarily use Win 11 so the extra pixels were more useful for desktop use than for gaming and/or may be more or less useful in SteamOS, but I haven’t felt any performance hit that some reviewers have mentioned.
