Going into desktop mode, changing the screen settings to turn off after a minute, you can download stuff and your deck's screen will turn off, saving power.
Thank you!!! Was annoyed that I can't shut the screen off while downloading.
I appreciate the congratulations on me buying a 700 dollar device
279 and swap out the 64gb for a 1tb ssd around 80 bucks or so
I'm with you i needed that 😅 and 1tb sd
I was this close (actually ready to click purchase now button) to buying 512GB OLED but realized it's $780CAD... had to re-evaluate my financial situation (still not bought)
@@busansanai just buy it puss
@@busansanai Just bought a refurbished 64gb for 250, so worth it man been loving it and its insanely cheap
An easy tip for newcomers regarding the download. For that time period you are downloading games to make sure the screen doesn’t turn off, you can change the display settings to not turn off after x amount of time while on the charger. I set mine to never while on the charger ONLY while getting my biggest games downloaded and changed it back after. It’s a great way to make sure it doesn’t die or turn off while downloading, however if you get the oled the download times are just so much better so this might not even be an issue. Love the video man!
Do games cost money? Does it do NES?
@@paedahe4975 You can run emulators on it yes.
Im a console gamer and my steam deck turns up this week, appreciate the tips as Im not p.c savvy and extra protection advice, I'm the same with every phone so saves me searching when you have dropped links to make life easier. Thanks.
"My biggest problem with the dock is that I'm sponsored by Ugreen and have to shill their brick"
This was less “5 things to do” and more like “five things to buy” I feel like I’m watching a glorified infomercial. No hate. Just saying
My thoughts exactly. Almost like a "click my referral links, please" type of thing
For real. Cringe af.
ah shit, sorry, didn't mean for it to come off like that, i'll try to do it better in the future. thanks for the input
It didn’t come off like that, I did appreciate the tips as a new steam deck oled owner. Thanks!
@@sam.alexander.reviewshonestly, you didn’t say 5 things to do. You said 5 must dos. Great video!
As far as storage is concerned, not only would I urge Steam Deck buyers to buy the biggest SD card they can, but also by the biggest 2230 SSD they can too.
Not to mention, there are clip-on Steam Deck docks that have USB inputs, so you could also get some low-profile USB flash drives and use those for even more storage.
Love the video brother thank you! Just got my own so I've been looking around to see what accessories to get.
I think I'm gonna disagree with you on the dongle vs the official dock. In the footage, you showed someone using the deck as the controller and casting the footage to the tv, and while some people will prefer that, others will prefer to use a Bluetooth controller over the decks controls.
Docking it to a monitor implies you're cool with having it turn into a console, and every console comes with a separate controller
Cannot emphasie the importance of the SD card for steamdeck. It took me all of 24 hours to fill it and I mostly play indies these days 😢
I'm buying a Steamdeck OLED sometime this year and this video really helped
Thank you for this, the other videos I came across were a little too advanced (and they say basic). Stuff like the deck works with a hub is priceless.
Great tips! I have had my Steam Deck for a few months now and LOVE it! The Steam Deck has to be one of the most consumer friendly portable gaming devices out there in addition to being a great gaming value. Thanks again and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
😊m😊
Great video. Thank you for you radvices! Got my Steam deck 2 days ago.
I ordered 1 sd & got 2 so I bought 4tb data storage which is very useful during this Christmas sale period.
I've spent most of the holidays downloading a HUGE amount of titles,it's still doing it as i type this.
I use the other sd to remote play my ps5 with a 1tb sd card to hold all my roms.
I already have majority of the items listed here so I'm quite happy ATM.
Here's something I recommend, immediately set up your desktop. Install Emu Deck and get some retro games running. You can have a bunch of old games taking up hardly any space and it doesn't take long to get them set up. Add the emulators as non-Steam games. Then go back to big picture mode, go to downloads and set it so the things can download in the background while games are running. Now you can play some old classic games while you're waiting for your PC games to download. Once you start playing PC games, you'll probably want to switch downloading while playing games back off.
Looks like that first quote that you said about needing protection flew over alot of peoples head hahahaha
great vids man I'm new to the current handheld scene and these are helping me make a tough decision, lots to choose from
I want a steam deck but OLED is a bit out of my budget. Is the LCD version ok? Or is it just better to save and spend the extra $150? I swear it feels divided between both. I don’t play much indie stuff. Want it for AAA and emulation
Do not buy the LCD. I just ordered an OLED yesterday. I did a bunch of research and the OLED is far superior in all aspects especially for AAA. It’s a bit more but you definitely won’t regret it according to every review.
i sold my LCD and have an oled now. i bought the 1tb, go with the 512. i didnt notice a difference in performance between the two when docked, but the oled is far superior in its hand held experience. the screen is just better all the way around, wifi is faster. the money you save over the 1tb you can put towards a 2tb drive.
Dude you should really just wait until you can get the oled. It's not worth buying the lcd as your first steam deck
The LCD is still the amazing steam deck that it was when it came out, the oled marginally improves a bit of everything and just mainly makes the screen a LOT better but ask your self this, how often will I use this, and do I even need the 500gb model, I already know all the games I'll be playing on this device and I have SD cards laying around that will happily hit 100Mb/s so i'm taking a 64gb model, I'll likely only be using this when i'm in bed, at a friends house, in transit, or at a hotel, which are all places I can charge the deck, scenarios where the OLED doesn't really get to swing its weight as much, however if this is a device you plan on using quite often as almost a PRIMARY device absolutely just save up for an OLED, you'll appreciate its little extras FAR more than you would if you're going to be using this irregularly like me
I would keep saving until you could afford the Oled the display difference alone makes it worth it.
Picked up the 1TB OLED, snagging an SD card -- no need for the screen protector with the etched glass. Amazing suggestion with the 30w power adapter 😂
This was fantastic. Thanks for putting out these vids in the deck. You’re touching on all the topics that I would want to know about ahead of purchasing one of these.
Glad it was helpful!
Eldenring is not that big its about 55 gigs and it also supports HDR for the OLed owners
The powerbank trickle charging was very good bro. thanks mwuah
The first thing I did (bought the 256) was put in a 1TB m.s and a 1TB SD Card. Then, Put on a screen saver and a Kill Switch. HIGHLY recommend the Kill Switch.
Great suggestions - I'll definitely grab a few of the things you recommended!
You can download while having the screen off, it just has to be done in desktop mode and have the power cable plugged in all the while. If you go into desktop mode, go to settings, find energy saving, and select the "on ac power" tab. Set the dim screen and save energy to 1 minute. Now just put the charger in your steam deck, open steam in desktop, set up any downloads, and after 1 minute your screen will turn off while still downloading your games.
Love your high Quality content!!
I am getting a Steam Deck Oled for Christmas, is that RDR2 footage real gameplay on SteamDeck or pre Recorded?
its real gameplay! RD2 works great :)
@@sam.alexander.reviews cant wait to get mine this looks so great😃😃😃
Super informative video. Great job.
This guy is so right about the steamdeck dock. It is a huge pain in the ass to set up and has a bunch of annoying issues with some tv (like mine. I have to unplug the stupid thing from the wall every time I want the HDMI to actually work).
I have the etched glass witj the etched glass screen protector, and it looks excellent.
I got a cheap little hub that clips on to the back of mine. It's small and light and while it only has a power passthrough, HDMI, and 2 USB-A's, for sub $20 it's been a lovely little way of getting my games onto a TV or transferring data on and off. It even has a kickstand! Point is that you don't need to get the ones he recommended but something that gives you HDMI, and at least one USB if not a couple is going to be desired eventually.
Also keep in mind that there are unofficial versions of Proton. If your game is struggling it could be a Linux compatibility issue. Try all the versions of Proton including the current beta to see if they work then if they don't, carefully look around online for unofficial versions, which tend to optimize in different directions. That unverified game might work wonderfully with a bit of investigating and a little tweaking.
Bro spent more Money on accesories than on the actual deck and treats this like a Portable Gaming PC...
This Post was made by the Surface Gang
Great tips, but it would also be helpful to put the names of the games you're showing gameplay of if they're featured on the screen. Some of the games looked interesting but I have no idea what games they were. I'm sure the devs would love it also!
If you have a lot of games on steam get the 1TB if you plan on downloading a bunch of games. Then a 1tb micro sd as well
i dont have a deck but your content is so awesome, im excited to cop one.
Glad you enjoy it!
so i got a Steam Deck with etched glass. Do I use a screen protection or not?
Bro the dongle is bad just get the steam dock it has 3 usb ports a displayport an hdmi porn an usb c port and another built in cable that sits in your steam deck and connect a ps4 controller or some other controller, its more comfortable than using the steam deck itself. Also regarding the sd card i reccomend that you install windows on it cause then you both have linux desktop mode, the big screen steam mode, and the windows desktop.
Tbh my experience with the official dock had been pretty shit.
That's not Valve's fault 🤨 it works perfectly fine
i dont like screen protection on deck, idk, this completly change the clear view of the screen for me and also touch work worse
Someone put this video on that subreddit that bashes high TV mounting. Just using his TV gives bro Walmart game demo kiosk nostalgia.
4:31 OMG the hight of that wide screen monitor mounted on that wall. It's advised to have the middle of a screen at the hight of the eyes of the viewers. Watching up like that is bad for the neck.
Question for you SD owners....
I have a Switch OLED and enjoy it for Nintendo only titles. I play it 99.9% of the time docked with the Pro Controller. I miss not having an Xbox anymore and miss a lot of the classic titles. Is buying a SD OLED to run docked worth it or is there a better way? I'm not too fond of owning digital games and would rather have physical media but in 2024, this seems to be the easier way (unfortunantly).
Advice? Thanks everyone!
also you should have put the internal storage further up in the list unless they already had a 512 or a 1tb because when you change the internal storage its faster speeds for gaming instead of the micro sd card maxing out to 100 and you get the full experience of the game
On the SD card topic - never ever try to put Kingston Canvas SD in your deck. I had a communication with Deck dealer in my country, and he encountered around 20 cases of these cards got broken by Deck. Any other card with Deck-compatible specifications should work just fine.
the deck not allowing downloads while sleeping is a major fatal flaw imo considering burn in exists (and Burn in is VERY easily testable for a company so they know it happens). I was disappointed that in sleep mode you cant see the battery level. Give me a short cut or something in sleep mode where it flashes the battery level once. like phones how you can tap screen or tap button. you don't have to power into the device every time you wanna just check the battery level when charging. Make it sound like I hate it. I really love it ik im just tech spoiled. the software will catch up to what we are use to ig.
You can hookup a lan cable with a dongle for faster download speed then wi-fi
If you're a pc player and don't own an xbox - buying an xbox controller isn't necessarily the best because it either needs to be plugged in or you need the xbox wireless pc adapter - playstation you don't need this is just goes through bluetooth if it's a ps4 or 5 controller
You don't need an adapter to connect the Xbox controller to Steam Deck and PC as well. Actually, the PS4 controller is a bad choice for PC gaming.
@@rustemakhmet I meant if you want to play wirelessly you need the adapter. It's totally up to you as to which controller you want to use I personally prefer ps4/5 as I can use them through Bluetooth out of the box without an adapter. But it's totally up to you which one you use
@@jamiemarshall4738 Yes, I understood what you meant. You don't need an adapter to connect the Xbox controller via Bluetooth.
Let me tell you, through my own actions my steam deck oled fell on concrete from a few ft up, and the screen was SPOTLESS. There were marks on my L1, and on the casing both front, and back. Not the screen though, not one scratch
I ordered the etched-glass Steam Deck. Considering I never scratched any screen of any device I ever owned in my 33 years on this planet Earth, I feel pretty confident to have been raised right as to handle valuable things cautiously. So I will not get a screen protector. I have the case for that purpose.
Yes yes, i knoooow, accidents can happen. But how come it's only always the same people from my circle of acquaintances who have cracked phone screens then? Because most damage comes from improper use, not unpreventable accidents ;)
I think a good benefit is a lot of older titles are on Steam go pick up Fallout 3 Mad Max that generation of games is great on the steam deck the battery life is phenomenal I'm talking about getting AAA games from 360 games
Have noticed rhat having the cord connected has led to the USB C port gotten abit "bent"
Sure i can fix it, but i think it is a weak spot for the deck. Looking for a magnetic sollution maybe
Great video, love the content
Glad you enjoy it!
What is the game near the start of the video that looks like a top down rogue like? The one with the desert level?
Awesome video! You will have 1 million subscribers in no time. Keep it up 👍
🥲 hope so, thank yoU!
Just got mine yesterday been playing non stop since 256gb version
Thanks for this! Super helpful!! Which revodock do you personally use?
i mostly use the 210 since i dont have a monitor that uses display port
How long was your hdmi cable from the TV to that couch? 😮 I understand long charge cable, I have plenty of those, but most of my hdmi cables just barley reach the console sitting right underneath the TV itself. 😢
You can buy long ones!
This is a good video. A really good one. But guys, please don't spend $130 on a dock. There are docks literally half this price that have all these ports.
I put protection on my deck when I use it.
❤
Steamdeck OLED already covers most of the points raised in this video, e.g. storage capacity, battery life, charger cable length... anyone with a base model LCD Steamdeck would be way better off just selling it and upgrading to OLED instead of buying accessories.
Wow i never thought someone would use it so heavy as a “switch” and multiplayer device. In my head steam deck buyers are people who already have a half decent gaming pc and don’t meet up with RL friends to play games that don’t own at least their own gaming system to play with friends. I wonder how i will use mine when it arrives this week. Good thing I already have a usb hub with 1 hdmi 1 power delivery and 1 usba. That does the trick along with my gaming pc.
Upgrading the internal SSD is very easy, but the part that worried me was reimaging the Steam OS to that SSD. I finally found 2 videos that Sabrient put out (one for SSD install and one for the OS - ruclips.net/video/WJW99n5bPNM/видео.html). I now have a 1tb 2230 in the deck along with three 512mb microSD cards (I like having LOTS of options.....).
I have an question about the battery or system of the steam deck overheating I play my game on the steam and after maybe 2 hours or so the deck freezes and I have to get an hard reset on the power button. Is there something to use to prevent it from getting too hot?
I bought mine used and dude had this fan thing that attaches to the vent port and acts like a puller fan pulling the hot air out
it's crazy that i can recognize what your steam avi is
Can someone please tell me the game at 3:36?? Please?
Soul stone survivors! It’s kinda like vampire survivors
The Steam Deck is absolute GOD tier. Sold all my consoles. It plays everything I want 😊

Thanks 😎
I picked up Dead Cells after watching this video and now I'm hooked, lol 👌
same haha
the same sd card he got is the one thats shipping to my house XD i already bought the same one he got and thanks for all the info man
use a dongle,/dock to use ethernet for downloading is a great thing :D
I cannot, for the life of me, get my XBOX series S controller to connect. It just keeps toggling between connecting, and paired but never goes connected. I have the OLED one (not sure if that matters).
Bro what's the game with the swordsman in your vid? Looks good.
Where as my switch downloads games faster in sleep mode...
I try to wait a year before I play a title. It makes it cheaper and the games are much more stable.
My steam deck arrives tomorrow, I got the 1tb version so I'm not sure if I should buy a screen protector or not 🤔
kinda depends how rough you're going to be on it, honestly with the etched glass, i'd probably not get a screen protector and just risk it, you can get a etched glass screen protector, but when you have them "doubled" i believe it makes the clarity a bit worse
Thank you for responding, I did a bit of research online and there seems to be an agreement on not getting a screen protector for the etched glass version. I will be leaving it on the case whenever I'm done playing anyways so I think I should be fine
I just downloaded Red Dead 2 on my 1tb Deck, and it was about 120 gigs...insane
Emudeck? I have a lot of Wii U roms
I just ordered a steam deck oled 1 tb and I got the screen protector JSAUX 2-Pack Screen Protector I think it comes in 2 pack anti glare and normal which do i use since the steam deck OLEd already is screen anti glare can any one help??
Okay random question. What games are you showing on here? lol I know Red Dead and Elden but there was a few I didn't xD. Anyways thank you for the video! Getting the 1TB Steam Deck here in the next few weeks!
i labeled most of them! did you have any specifically?
@@sam.alexander.reviews I think I found it haha I might of missed it if you showed it xD but it was Yet another Zombie survivor iirc lol
I got 1tb, screen protector works exactly the same
i think that you won't need decky, because valve added some new stuff when the oled steam deck released so you canright out of the box change the settings of saturdation rgb and other stuff
my computer has less than 512gb and it still has all my games,,, i think i just play really small games or something even though a lot of them are graphically stunning
Thinking to get 512 gb oled but have some concerns.
So there is still a chance for Thumb stick drift ?
Also a bit concerned about the dead pixels and headphone jack issues. Are the new batch of steam decks have less issues that i mentioned ?
I have on,y had my OLED for ONE day so take what I say lightly but, from what I understand, stick drift will always be possible. But, I hear that Valve makes it easy to open it up and replace each stick. And as for your other concerns, you can always just return it and place another order if that is an issue. But mine seems to be perfect out of the box and I've had a blast playing Lethal Company and CSGO2 so far. I'm a console gamer and I got it to be my first "pc" and it is great in docked mode. I plugged in an apple Magic Keyboard I had laying around and a cheap mouse I had and it works like a dream
I have problem with my storage after downloading games.There is something called “others” that’s taking a lot of memory and i just can’t figure it out how to get rid of it
”Others” is the OS and stuff.
What game were you playing at 3:30

Don't use "joysticks adapters". Idk why he didn't say that, but you will not be able to use gyro with these adapters on. When you just place your finger on a joystick, gyro is turning on
good point i should have included that!
i dont use gyro too much so i didn't notice
Why is the TV almost at the ceiling?
How did you download call of duty?
This guy gives off such wholesome vibez
with glossy screen protector he measn UHD right instead of the matte?
Why are the bezels smaller in the thumbnail?
The thing is the system updates already is already the half of the 512
Hmm that doesn’t seem right, could be a glitch or bug
Why is the steam deck oled cheaper in the states? for me it's 569 euros instead of 549 dollars. it's honestly a big difference.
Because in the EU store the sales tax is included. This is not the case in the USA page.
