I bought two LCD models before the OLED came out and have constantly bounced between buyer's remorse (I only use one of them) and feeling okay about this decision.

Currently, I'm feeling like it was a pretty wise move.

There is a good reason not to buy OLED deck. Once you play on OLED screen you will certainly want your laptop and or deaktop screen to also be OLED. That's it.

Never had such issue with a phone, but after Deck started feeling I missing that screen quality elsewhere.

		I've had the same problem since owning a Samsung Galaxy 2 phone.

One pro of the LCDs is that I'm moderately sure they don't flicker (PWM) as (bad) as the OLED ones would.

Source: 99% of oleds cause terrible eye strain. Flicker affects people even when they don't realise it (studied for office workers during the CFL era iirc.)

		That must be a small percentage of the Steam Deck userbase that's impacted by this as I have the OLED model and it does not flicker or cause _me_ eye strain, even when at the absurdly low brightness levels it can reach.

		I don’t think you quite understand what a “source” is.
