Hi all As many of us I migrate form the original steam deck to the new oled version. I did not anticipate the benefit of the small screen size increase… The screen fill so much bigger thanks to the 0.4inch increase!!! Of course the oled screen nice color are increasing this feeling.

It’s 0.4” in the diagonal so it means 11.7% more screen area (22.02 sqin vs 24.6 sqin) so it’s definitely noticeably larger.
Human detection is kicked in significantly when the difference is more than 7% hence this screen update is surely a notable one!
Kudos to steamdeck
This is really interesting! Where did you get the 7% metric? I’m just curious to read more.
The concept is called just noticeable difference. The 7% was sort of taught in my marketing class years ago before internet era but it just hung around in my mind. It probably refers to size or price ratio where we can shift it to shape behaviours without detection
I went from SD LCD to Lenovo Legion Go 8.8 inch screen. There’s no way back.
I am sure most men think 0.4" is a lot
I know there’s a joke here somewhere but it’s just not coming to me
Neither is she
The size doesn’t matter. What matters is what you can do with It.
cries thank you OP…
First impressions here are, but he screen fills much better the frame, as you said that 0.4 makes a nice difference, the joysticks are better, they feel a bit more stiff but it’s good compared to LCD, trackpad is working really nice, they did a good job, and the steam and configuration buttons are much more clicky, ofc Oled screen is gorgeous
Saw the title, came for the comments ^^.
It’s insane how much of a difference it really makes! I hated the large bezels on the LCD Deck but just .4 inches definitely shrinks the bezels quite a bit.
My gf says .4 inches is a lot……
That is what he said!
There’s nothing wrong with a 7 inch deck
She wishes for more though
Eh. Not worth me dropping another $500 on a new steam deck tho. I’ll stick with my original LCD. I’ve modified the shit out of it too…
Thats what she didn’t say.
