Close to pulling the trigger on a Steam deck with this current sale, thinking about the 512GB one but just wondering what the anti-glare screen does to the colors? In some pictures/video it looks dull and washed out, but it’s hard to tell for sure. I don’t plan to play outside and I don’t mind buying an SD card so I’m thinking the 256GB model might be good for me…any thoughts from those with either?

The difference is noticeable but it's also a matter how you wanna use the Deck. On the sofa where you can control the lighting situation or outside? Color quality doesn't matter much when you can't see anything to begin with. Btw, there is also the option to get the 256GB one and apply a matte screen protector for 5 bucks.

I just upgraded from my 512g deck to a rog ally. The hardware, especially the screen, is so much better. The software on the ally is so terrible that it came within a breath of going back to best buy until I found chimeraos and am getting 90% of the stramos experience with them closing in on full functionality very quickly.

I just can't go back to the 800p screen after trying the ally.

If you can go hands on with both its very much worth your time to eval both.

OP didn't ask about the Ally.
