"The OLED version of the Steam Deck is a worthy upgrade since it comes with a longer battery life and a larger display with a higher refresh rate. However, the LCD model offered an impressive entry price for the Steam Deck and the world of affordable gaming handhelds. Fortunately for existing owners, Valve said it plans to continue supporting the LCD models with future software updates."
"For now, potential buyers will have to choose between the new entry-level pricing of $549 for the OLED model with 512GB of storage or upgrading to 1TB and paying at least $649. Valve's choice to discontinue its last remaining LCD model isn't surprising after it did the same with the 512GB version and the 64GB option that was available when the Steam Deck was first released in 2022."
Valve has stopped producing the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model and will remove it once existing stock sells out. The $399 LCD 256GB Steam Deck is currently out of stock, and refurbished LCD units have been cleared. Valve is now offering OLED-only Steam Decks, with the OLED model providing longer battery life, a larger display, and a higher refresh rate. Existing LCD owners will continue to receive software updates. New pricing sets the OLED 512GB as the entry-level model at $549, while the 1TB OLED option costs at least $649. Valve previously discontinued other LCD variants.
