    I just got an OLED and had to RMA it after 1 day due to audio jack being completely messed up. Crackling, interference, static.

    Some research online shows it is a very widespread issue and they continue selling broken items, since only a percentage of users use 3.5mm audio interface and only a percentage of these will bother to return the item.

    Maybe the refurbished ones will be fixed in process.

      Real good thing I decided to get a refurbished LCD than going for an OLED model because I’m part of that small percentage of audio jack users.

      does the oled have 4 pole or just 3? One of the reasons I dont use the jack on the lcd is lack of single jack headset support while not even having a dedicated mic jack

    This is the only way I would upgrade my shipment 2 steam deck. At current prices, the OLED is a great deal, just not quite a compelling enough upgrade for me to pull the trigger.

    If not this, then I will be eagerly waiting for whatever the true second gen steam deck will be.
