Valve Drops LCD Steam Deck
Steam Deck goes OLED-only as Valve ends LCD sales
Valve, the company behind the popular Steam Deck handheld gaming PC, has announced it will no longer sell the LCD version of the device. Moving forward, only the OLED models of the Steam Deck will be available for purchase. This shift underscores Valve’s commitment to delivering a superior visual experience with richer colors and deeper blacks offered by OLED technology.
The decision to phase out the LCD variant aligns with industry trends favoring OLED displays for their enhanced picture quality and power efficiency. For gamers and enthusiasts, this means that future Steam Deck purchases will come with improved screen performance, potentially enhancing gaming visuals and immersion. Valve’s move may also simplify manufacturing and inventory management by focusing on a single display technology.
As OLED screens become more mainstream in handheld gaming devices, Valve’s strategy could set a new standard for portable gaming PCs. Consumers interested in acquiring a Steam Deck should now look exclusively at the OLED versions, which promise a brighter and more vivid gaming experience.
