I booted up my LCD deck today, after using my OLED deck for a couple weeks. The same game felt laggy, the fan noise was significant, and the track pad was frustrating to use. The whole deck felt clunkier despite being the same dimensions, due to being heavier and having a larger bezel. Interestingly, the image quality of the LCD holds up just fine, though. In a side-to-side comparison I could tell the difference, but qualitatively my game looked fine.

Nope, I put it to sleep with my game running all the time. I’ve been playing No Man’s Sky, and I wake it up most mornings and evenings to tend to my freighter.

Sometimes the audio gets stuttery after a sleep cycle. Maybe twice over the past year, the deck didn’t wake up and instead rebooted.
