SOLVED: Can I just buy the OLED screen standalone to replace the LCD screen?
SOLVED: Can I just buy the OLED screen standalone to replace the LCD screen?
Unfortunately no. The new Steam Deck OLED uses a completely different display connector over the Steam Deck LCD. - Steam Deck OLED
It would be great to just replace my LCD screen instead of buying the new iteration of the steam deck...
Saved you a click,
No
you’re a real one 👍
Always downvote clickbait.
All you have to do is READ THE SPECS of the OLED Steam Deck to know you can't. It's a completely different device.
I did not and had the idea of replacing it in the back of my mind so this posting helped qwash that musing anyway.
I think that the correct answer could be not the "original" Steam oled. I mean the demand for retro-compatible oled display will be huge, so maybe someone will figure out how eventually install third party screen. Still just a speculation right now.
