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.
