The only thing I wish they had done is an OLED screen.

I heard they tried to buy some panels from Samsung but they wanted such a huge amount per product that it would've raised the steam decks price way beyond of most consumers product. You can make more money by selling a cheaper product to more people rather than a premium product to a select few.

I'm not familiar with the topic but couldn't they cut straight to the source and directly contact Corning? Or alternatively, one of those Chinese high end OLED knock offs? I've heard they're basically less than 1 generation apart in terms of quality.

edit: alternatively, I assume all cables/connectors are standard. What's preventing Jim next door from starting a group buy to manufacture replacement OLED screens/upgrade kits?
