I wouldn’t say I recommend it over the OLED, but they both work great. My OG LCD still holding up strong, but the OLED is definitely an improvement in both screen quality and battery.
It has slightly different internal and external form factors in … basically only esoteric ways that only come into play if you are doing certain kinds of physical mods or upgrades to it.
But yeah, the actual internal performance specs are the same, same chip, same shared RAM amount…
I think maybe the battery might have gotten a slight upgrade, either that or the power delivery / management may have gotten a slight upgrade / tweak, but I am not 100% sure about that.
Would anyone recommend an LCD over an OLED model?
I’ve owned the first gen Steam Deck since the day it came out. (LCD)
No problems, greatly enjoy it.

Over OLED? Probably not, but LCD is perfectly fine.
Unless you really care about OLED and slightly better battery, then a much cheaper LCD is a good choice.
Oh the OLED doesn’t have any performance boost?
As I understand it, it’s the same engine under the hood, you’re paying for better screen quality and a slightly longer battery life.
