Recently, a 1200p screen was teased on the
#SteamDeck
and now their website is live with more information, estimated price, and the ability to join the waitlist for it.

Why would I want this? Besides bragging rights the hardware will chug at that resolution and make the Deck less fun. Unless your idea of fun is constantly tweaking settings.
@nyzaf
While I do love to tweak settings (I do review and optimize games), I agree that there are concerns about battery life at that resolution. I do like the color accuracy improvements however. And I LOVE that this could start others trying to break into this as well.
@SteamDeckHQ
Not interested. The 800p screen on the steam deck is more than enough. 1200p will just stretch some games even harder on performance. Games that run great at 40fps will struggle to hit 30 in that case.
800p, 60hz and OLED? Now you're talking.
@Mikpwn
That would be a dream come true. 1200p does feel a bit unnecessary and 800p looks crisp without draining too much battery. OLED would be amazing as well, would give anything for an OLED screen to use on the Deck.

In the end, having options and seeing modularity with how to customize the device is never a bad thing and could lead to some screens with major improvements down the line!
@AaronBaileyArt
That's fair. I am curious to see how well the screen will work with battery life, but I will say this is also the first screen replacement outside of Valve that changes things up a bit. I think that is quite exciting!
