Finally decided I think I am going to get a Steam Deck. Decided to look at upgrading the hard drive, it is a little more compacted than I thought it would be. For those who have swapped, was it easy enough?

    The top end model has etched glare resistant glass on the panel, both on the old IPS displays and the newer OLED models.

    My work sometimes comes with long hours of downtime in the outdoors with the sun shining, the anti glare glass is fantastic for that scenario. I know there are etched glass screen protectors, but I’ve seen one up close and didn’t look as clear as mine.

    So, that’s at least one reason to go for it in my opinion.

      Yeah I put a screen protector on mine right away. It’s a portable device.

      The combination of the etched screen and an etched screen protector definitely hurts the sharpness - I would’ve been better off with the standard glossy screen.

        Yeah, I’m not saying one plan is better than the other, just that it’s something to be aware of when making a choice. My steam deck sees a lot of travel and a lot of use, and I’ve never used a screen protector, because you’re really not supposed to with the matte screen. Haven’t noticed a scratch yet, so it works for me. The only protection I use is the tpu rubberized grip case, I think from spigen. That and the case it came in for travel.
