I have got my OLED Steamdeck today and made a picture with my old one side by side. The display is a little bit bigger, the touch screen is way better (more like a smartphone).

Serious question: Is the difference more apparent IRL (not a picture)? I’m not seeing a big enough difference that I’d spend much more for OLED.
I didn’t try this out on my OLED steam Deck yet, but dark scenes are a bit of a strain on the eye on the LCD one. I played mark of the ninja on it and the black and darker stuff (which the game has a lot of) is illuminated like any other color, which feels a bit unpleasant. With OLED black is the absence of light, which feels much more natural.
I saw a noticeable difference going from a Switch to a Switch OLED, mainly in the contrast in scenes. Greys and blacks can almost look inky in comparison to LCD, and glowing lights (think neon signs) pop out a lot more.
That being said, the topic is the Deck OLED, which I haven’t seen in person, so your mileage will vary.
I say so. Screen looks great in person. Be gone light bleed!
