    I keep forgetting mods also mean physical modifications of hardware and I was really confused how Valve can support upping resolution on a screen.

    Idea of modding hardware in general feels risky af to me. But I’m glad it’s possible, worthwile, and apparently quietly supported by Valve.

    They make a lot of good decisions with it.

      While replacing the display is quite complex in comparison to other repairs on the Deck, you may as well get this display should yours break for some reason.

        Exactly. It’s not like you’d be playing a ton of stuff on the Deck at 1200p if you had this screen… but it’d be nice to have the option for older games that don’t need a ton of power at that resolution. And this screen barely costs more than the 800p LCD replacement screen.
