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.

I wouldn't read that much into it. Valve isn't Nintendo, I doubt they'd launch a new Deck without OLED

I just meant more like the resolution.

Supposedly, the SD didn't get an oled screen because it was a bit less power efficient. Oled saves power when there's blacks on the screen, and most games don't have much black.
