Unless you’re talking about a one-off by a single hobbyist, the aftermarket Deck screen is still LCD, it’s just a higher res and more color accurate.
Valve very specifically said the new OLED screen will not be able to just be dropped into the original Deck. Someone might get it to fit but it’d be a lot more involved than just a simple screen replacement.
There was a better IPS panel, but you have to kind of ruin your deck to use it. All convenience goes out the window, plus you lose a ton of performance because it’s 1200p

I just want to know if they’ll let me replace the screen. I can live with the battery but I’d love an OLED screen.
You can buy a screen from https://deckhd.com/ it is still an IPS display but this one apparently covers a higher color gamut.
yeah I’ve seen reviews of that and I am not keen
the displays are not interchangeable, most internals are completely different.

It’s physically the same dimension but it’s thinner.
Then it should fit, it might need a spacer or something but I can live with that.
I saw someone mention the connector is different
Then why are there screen mods? There was an OLED screen mod done six months ago
the displays of the deck OLED and deck LCD are not interchangeable.
