Fancy upgrading the resolution of your Steam Deck screen? Well it seems FX Technology also known as F(x)tec are planning to offer Steam Deck screen upgrades under the Deck HD brand.
The screen on all three models of the Steam Deck have a 1280x800 resolution, and the top-end Steam Deck has special anti-glare coating. What if we could swap it out for a 1920x1200 anti-glare screen? Well that's their plan. Not just that though, their screen will offer better colours too they claim 74% AdobeRGB Coverage versus 45% AdobeRGB Coverage on the original Steam Deck screen.
It's not available yet but you can join the waitlist on their website, with a price expected to be around $99.
An interesting idea, although it's worth remembering that powering that extra screen resolution will come with a cost attached. Even at the 800p of the existing Steam Deck screen, that can be too much for some of the latest AAA games to handle. Might be nice for some older games though, or just anything that isn't the latest 3D AAA titles.
I actually spoke about this in my recent Steam Deck news round-up video, as it was teased on Twitter but only today I found the official site launch for it. Anyway my round-up is below:

Direct Link
i rather have 800p OLED insteadSeconding this. My Pixel 7 (and Pixel Watch) have AMOLED displays, and it's not bad, I have to say. I'd be open to something like that for the Deck.
Wow, Is the Deck just 40% AdobeRGB?
Somebody corrects me if I'm wrong, since I'm more pratocal about NTSC and SRGB colorspaces, but it seems AdobeRGB is equivalent to NTSC, and 40% means seriously washed out colors (how does the red looks on the Deck, kinda orange-ish?), more or less the same you find in 300/400 euros laptops; good for office use, but definitely NOT for running games or watching movies, what a shame.
There's also the general public "education" component to consider; where the general market favors an inferior product over a superior one due to high familiarity with the cheap one and a lack of technical knowledge to fully understand why the cheap product is lesser. The differences are seen as faults, because, well it's different and weird.
Good examples are the box wine comparisons and the preference for certain headphones over higher quality options.
I am curious if there was a similar effect for cheap screens.
Wow, Is the Deck just 40% AdobeRGB?
or maybe they are saying to it as marketing material.
the last thing i heard was that deck was ~70% sRGB, not sure how it compare to adobeRGB or wich one is the most correct one, but if the content was designed for the wrong displays anyway, using an color accurate display will improve our experiences... at what cost?
