The only thing putting me off of the oled model... is the oled.
Oled objectively looks better - for 1 to 3 years.
My wife's name is burned into the top of my phone's screen, which is oled.
If they offered an improved LCD model with a higher color accuracy panel, refresh rate, and VRR/HDR like the oled panel, and all the other improvements, i would instantly be all over it.
How techy are you? I was eyeing up
and may give it a shot in the new year.
Edit: odd Boost doesn't show my linked text. Just in case - https://deckhd.com/
Boost puts an exclamation point at the beginning of the link that shouldn't be there. It's a bug. Delete it and it will work.
ETA: I checked the link, and 87% sRGB coverage isn't very good. I'd want to see it in real life before buying one.
A friend of mine got the Deck HD and it looks good. I couldn't tell too much of a difference between it and the stock screen's color gamut but it was good regardless. The only thing I noticed off about it was that the pixels around the edge of the bezels seem to be underneath it a smidge, giving a weird effect of the edges getting cut off if you look at it at a weird angle.
I'm fairly techy, though I've been trying to move away from a lot of it.
On my previous 5 years old phone the OLED looks as good as it did when it was new.
My LG OLED TV of 4 years looks as good as it did when new.
I had a PS Vita for about 4 years and the OLED was good as new when I sold it.
I’m not questioning your experience but OLED can last a lot longer than 1-3 years if it’s of good quality and the software has features to help preserve the pixels.
