    I realize I’m probably in the minority here, but do they have an option at the original 1280x800? I don’t want my games performance to tank, and I find that resolution to be perfectly comfortable.

      My issue is the same as with DeckHD, the resolution bump is fine… having to use a modified BIOS? Not so much.

          Just donate the extra pixels to charity, problem solved!

          There’s also an argument to be made for the pixels not being an ideal multiple. Maybe it matters less when there are 3440x1440 of them on a traditional screen, but the blurriness caused by this effect at small screen sizes is quite noticeable on text.

        Or at 720p, as this is a 16:9 aspect ratio, and running stuff on it at 16:10 will look weird.

      It’s probably not possible for supply reasons. OLED displays are expensive to produce in small numbers, so this is probably using screen components originally made for another device. Not many devices use a 720 or 800p screen at this size, so sourcing one probably isn’t possible.

      Shit like this is why I won’t buy another handheld console again until they can smoothly run the latest games at at least 1440p 240hz (I was initially going to say 4K but 1440 is enough for a small screen IMO).

      I don’t care if it takes a decade or more, I’m happy with my desktop; I’ll wait.
