Missed opportunity not to give it significantly better color reproduction IMO. Just the anti glare with an otherwise minor improvement doesn't seem worth the cost and hassle.

I would pay for something similar to the DeckHD screen if it had the same color improvements, retained the 800p and didn’t need a custom BIOS flash (like the DeckHD needs). I already have the Anti Glare screen, so need something worth the effort of a full screen replacement. If I busted my current screen, then I would buy this versus the “regular” replacement via ifixit.

Tbf, it does have better color reproduction - but "significant" is probably subjective

Are there any controller boards that can run a SteamDeck screen? Just wondering what you'd do with the unused part. Would be cool to turn it into a tiny portable screen.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Unlike DeckHD, the team at JSAUX decided to stick with the normal 800p Steam Deck resolution.

The only minor difference is that JSAUX claim their screen has 70% sRGB coverage versus 67% on the original.

Could be a good little upgrade mod for anyone with a 64GB or 256GB Steam Deck to get the anti-glare screen.

A difficult mod to do though, that requires taking the entire Steam Deck apart.

Not something beginners should think about, as a lot of small things can go wrong that could end up becoming a big expense.

Still, it's nice to continue to see more and more hardware mods appearing for the Steam Deck because of how open it is.

Why they make it all the time anti-glare ? Didn't they got the feedback it prevents to add a protection ?
