We previously reported Valve’s views on the next generation of Steam Deck. At that time, the developers said that in addition to performance, they also hope to improve the screen quality of Steam Deck, but they also emphasized that this work is not easy, and it needs to work closely with other components. Cooperate. But recently, according to a report from NotebookCheck, a company called FX Technology has gone one step ahead, announcing that they have developed a new screen for Steam Deck, called Deck HD.
On the premise of keeping the 7-inch IPS screen unchanged, the resolution of DeckHD has been increased to 1920×1200, and the color gamut coverage has reached 95% sRGB. Compared with the 1280×800 and 67% sRGB of the original machine, DeckHD should be able to have more pictures and colors At the same time, it also has an anti-glare coating, which is only available on the high-end model of the original Steam Deck.
However, in terms of brightness and refresh rate, Deck HD has not made much change, it is still 400 nits and 60Hz, which may be due to some problems in battery life.
At present, FX Technology intends to set the price of the component at 99 US dollars, but they have not yet announced the specific release date. Interested players can register relevant information on the official website to be reminded when the sale starts.
For players with strong hands-on ability, DeckHD is indeed a good upgrade component. But if you want to get a native 1080P gaming experience, then players should buy a host with stronger configuration. After all, Steam Deck’s SoC is designed to satisfy this 720P screen, and upgrading to a 1200P screen may have a certain impact on performance and battery life.
