Big tip: get the LCD and a DeckHD. The mod takes a long time, but it's not technically difficult.

Yeah, I know most people will say the Deck is already too slow for 800p, so why would it pull 1080p well?

I have two decks, one's got Deck HD, the other doesn't. I render the Deck HD one at 540 native and upscale 2x with FSR. It looks way better than the stock display one and runs better as well. Similar with HZD and other highly demanding games.

That said, 99% of my time on the Deck is spent playing retro games. Does that need 1080p? No. Can it use it? Yes, very much so.

I never pick up the original deck anymore - the Deck HD modded one is just better.



The DeckHD website says it's sold out. Can I get the same display component without the installation kit from somewhere else? Is there a model or part identifier or something?


sadly no.

i guess that's that then!


Just checking DeckHD, sadly it's still 60hz.

I mostly use SD to stream from my main rig, so i can always have >60fps on my SD.


Can you stream games at over 60fps?


Yes. I can stream 120fps with moonlight and sunshine


That's kind of misleading though given that the deck can't display 120 Hz


I dont understand what you mean ?


yeah, wish it was higher than 60 hz


I tell people to get an LCD and xreal or viture AR glasses with the saved money. AR glasses are a WAY better display than a small OLED screen.


So, you’ve got a portable deck wired to augmented reality glasses. Just need a chordic keyboard and you’ll be a full-on Neuromancer/Snow Crash gargoyle :)


Strange days !


Would the latency be good enough for gaming though?


they're wired, so probably.


And solves the wrists problem mentioned earlier
