I tell people I bought the 512 GB version for storage, while I really bought it to avoid looking at my reflection.
Fucking same. I can't stand glossy screens. Matte is the way to go.
A matte screen protector works fine for me.
I have the 512 version and my screen is glossy...?
Oh, that might me by screen protector. I might need to replace that.
I bought it for the exclusive keyboard theme
The Deck can save you from many things...but it can't save you from yourself...
@Lettuceeatlettuce @notnotmike what do you mean?
It's a joke about the glossy screen. When a game is loading and mostly black, depending on the lighting, you can see your face reflected.
Just slap a matte screen protector on and you're good to go!
Just pop a non-glare screen protector on it, and it's fine. It's like a 5-10 $ problem.
People buying a twice as expensive model for a slightly different screen surface are just insane if you ask me. You can also install a proper 512gig SSD for like 60€ or so to get even on storage, also takes 5 minutes.
Well I for one am happy to fork over money to our steam overlords. I am Valve's little money pig, and I will deliver.
M.2 2230 SSD, for anyone wondering. Just check reliability and speed of any given make/model.
Screen protector doesn't fix ur ugly face
I'll just hope my laser eye surgery goes horribly wrong then.

Hey what’s double $399? Asking for a friend.
Seven ninety eight.
When I bought mine on sale it was 375€ or so. I think the 512 version with the different screen surface was 650. Is that double? No, but close enough for a side note in a casual comment. Say hi to your friend for me though, he seems nice.
He’s insufferable. Trust me.
I ended up buying the 512 near launch. I typically don’t like screen protectors and when I bought it wasn’t quite as common to do the SSD swap. I don’t regret the decision but do recognize that I’m at a point in my life where spending a bit of extra money is worth it to avoid having to tinker.
At one point the Steam Deck design and engineering team strongly opposed installing a third party SSD for various reasons ranging from power draw to EMI. Is this still the case?
I've been a tinkerer since I was a child and have no problem tearing into electronics for the hell of it, but I also have the wisdom to listen to people who know more than I do. I'd rather not damage my expensive toy.
Meanwhile we have the 512gb version and put a glare protector on it 💀
I made a template for the deck a while back
How many arms does a catboy need? Honestly.
4, also its a girl
It's a good selling point for the 512GB model. I don't have to see how fugly I am during my loading screens.
Ah, the joys of seeing Link enter a dark cave, and all you're left with is a fat man on the toilet.
Hey everyone, here's a reminder to do chin tucks to help strengthen your neck to minimize the effects of looking down while playing. Happy gaming!
gotta love the black mirror
This is why I had to stop using face recognition to unlock my phone.
Just never turn the screen off, play continuously.
That's a loading screen
No load, only play.
compared to my laptop and high end fire tablet it barely reflects.
The fix is to just stop being ugly.
Grab yourself a etched tempered glass screen protector. They'll cost you about $15 for a two pack.
