CTOnews.com, March 15 (Xinhua)-- the Steam Deck is a handheld console launched by Valve in 2021. Its hardware performance is much better than that of the 2017 Nintendo Switch, but Nintendo has an advantage in screen. The Switch OLED version came out six months before the Steam Deck, and many players are attracted by the bright colors and dark black of the OLED screen. Once you've experienced a TV, mobile phone or handset with an OLED screen, it's hard to look back. Steam Deck has been launched for one year, and many players have a question: will Valve launch an OLED version of Steam Deck?

Pierre-Loup Griffais from Valve said Valve "understands the screen limitations of the technology currently used by Deck". "We also want it to get better, and we are considering all possible options."

But he says changing the screen is not as easy as it sounds. "I think what people want is an enhanced version, and I think it's easy to replace the OLED screen," Griffais said. But in fact, the screen is the core of the whole device. Everything is designed around it. With such a miniaturized device, everything affects each other. I think it takes more work than people think. You can't just get a new screen, you need to do more to achieve it. "

When designing the Steam Deck, Valve actually attached great importance to the flexibility of the LCD screen-in particular, allowing the backlight to be dimmed as much as possible to play games comfortably in a dim environment, and the ability to change the refresh rate to save battery life. Griffais said that as far as he knows, this should also be possible on the OLED screen, but some specific configurations are required.

CTOnews.com noted that V News Agency recently said that Steam Deck will not launch a new generation of devices any time soon.
