Hmm, given the chassis changes, what are the odds the OLED screen can be dropped into existing Decks? It would probably hold back adoption but I'm unlikely to upgrade so soon anyway.

Valve says it cannot be installed in LCD models. A third party may offer a solution though.

There's already "DeckHD" after-market upgrade kits, a 1920x1200 OLED screen for $100.
Looks like a pain to install, though. Saw a time-lapse of the process on LTT and it looked like it involved removing just about every single screw and fastener in the entire device.
The DeckHD is still an IPS LCD, it just has better color coverage: https://deckhd.com/#specs
