The screen swap was easy peasy, the hardest part was getting the old screen out. Mine was already broken, and I wasn’t keeping the front plastic, so I didn’t have to worry about being too careful, except around the top edge where the mics and ambient light sensor are.
The case swap was a bear, took forever. I’m fairly handy, but the whole process took almost 4 hours. My buddy was doing his in tandem with me and he was over 5 hours, and that’s with me lending a hand towards the end.
It looks great, in my opinion, and I’d do it again, I’d just start earlier in the day 😬
As far as the OLED goes, so far it looks good. The stock brightness slider isn’t working, it must be a software thing? I have had zero time to look into it. I haven’t even played a single game on it since doing the swap. I’ll report back when I have time to give it a fair shake.
What is the PWM frequency with DeckSight? I’m pretty sensitive to that and my regular OLED model sadly strains my eyes within an hour. Maybe something like this could be a better alternative for me.
You know I’m not sure, and I’m not sure how to check. That might be a good question for someone else? Or maybe it’s in the documentation? Or if you can tell me how to check I can check,
While the documentation does list quite a few useful details about the specs of the display, the PWM frequency is unfortunately not mentioned. A reliable measurement can only be done with a specialized device like an Opple Light Master. Here is some more research about the PWM flicker on the Steam Deck OLED: https://old.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1882kys/analysis_of_the_pwmflickervisual_fatigue_of_the/
