This reminds me, I wonder if there's anyone that sells OLED screen upgrades for the original Deck? I think it just makes sense since if you can upgrade the Deck's screen to a higher resolution one, why not upgrade to an OLED screen to have way better colour contrast and possibly battery life improvements?

I know some people might ask me "why not just buy a Steam Deck OLED?", well, I’m just really cheap and I'd rather upgrade something that I already have instead of buying a completely new device

To me, that is sure evidence that it will be the normal screen in the next deck. I'm guessing a summer 2025 release. Resolution Will make it just perfect enough to make tiny text readable, which is the only thing the current stock screens need. Reading texts in games like witcher 3 are a bit of a pain. Have to set up magnification stuff on the right touch pad.
