[Review] DeckHD: 1200p Screen Upgrade - eviltoast

Interesting review IMO, with colour accuracy comparison and benchmarks of DeckHD vs. original screen (and other “known good” screens).

I would be more tempted by an OLED screen upgrade, but colour accuracy looks pretty good tbh. Pricing is in line with an official (matte) screen replacement from ifixit - $99 USD.

    This is the dealbreaker for me. I was looking at earnestly upgrading the screen despite the effort/patience needed to do the swap, potential battery drain, etc. But the fact you need a third party bios flash is the bridge too far. I just want to make sure I don’t run into a situation where they stop support and now I’ve got to swap the screen again.
