Valve isn\u2019t waiting for the beginning of its Steam Summer Sale<\/a> to kick off the festivities. On Monday, the company posted 15 percent off deals<\/a> on two discontinued Steam Deck LCD models<\/a>, offering the 64GB variant for under $300 and the 512GB edition for under $400. The sale lasts until July 11 at 10AM PDT or \u2014 the key bit \u2014 \u201cwhile supplies last.\u201d<\/p>\n Valve<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The star of the fire sale is the 512GB (NVMe SSD) LCD Steam Deck model. Initially, it was $449, but the handheld is available for only $381.65. Its OLED equivalent retails for $549, letting you save big if you can live with the cheaper (but still high-quality) LCD screen technology. Meanwhile, the 64GB (eMMC SSD) LCD model, which initially sold for $349, is on sale for $296.65.<\/p>\n Both devices have seven-inch displays with 1280 x 800 LCDs, 60Hz refresh rates and 400 nits brightness, but the 512GB model includes anti-glare etched glass. They have 40Wh batteries with a theoretical eight-hour runtime, but they will likely average around 4.5 hours. Each model ships with a standard carrying case.<\/p>\n Engadget re-reviewed the LCD Steam Deck<\/a> last fall after the OLED variants<\/a> launched. Although the handheld\u2019s chunky size, weight and mediocre battery life hold it back to a degree (especially for those with smaller hands), it\u2019s still a solid choice for home-based gamers invested in Steam\u2019s ecosystem. The bottom line: \u201cIf you have the extra cash, go ahead and grab the OLED version,\u201d as Jessica Conditt wrote, but \u201ccompared with the wider handheld sector, the Steam Deck LCD offers a fantastic return on investment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
