For users of the Valve Steam Deck (https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck), there may be moments when the display quality doesn’t meet expectations. Fortunately, DeckSight offers a compelling upgrade solution by replacing the original LCD screen with a 1080P AMOLED panel, all without requiring major modifications to the device. This upgrade delivers sharper visuals, more vibrant colors, and superior black levels, making it an impressive improvement over standard LCD screens in almost every aspect. If you're looking for a better visual experience on your Steam Deck, this is definitely worth considering.
DeckSight not only provides a high-quality OLED display but also includes an integrated touchscreen that’s optically bonded to a custom cover glass, which plays a key role in the upgrade. While exact specifications are still being finalized, it's clear that DeckSight will offer higher peak brightness, a faster refresh rate, and improved battery efficiency compared to the original LCD panel.
Replacing the screen is relatively straightforward, thanks to the detailed iFixit guide (https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+Screen+Replacement/148986), which makes removing the old LCD easier. Additionally, the new FPC ribbon cable has been redesigned to ensure full compatibility with the upgraded display. To use DeckSight, the Steam Deck requires a custom BIOS, which can be found in Shade Technik's GitHub repository. Importantly, the change is reversible—users can always restore the original Steam Deck BIOS and switch back to the stock LCD if needed.
It’s important to note that DeckSight is **not compatible** with the 2023 OLED models of the Steam Deck.
