232 is actually cheap for OLED. I am waiting to see if the aluminum body feels cheap though. tbh I need to know if it works with my steam deck without drivers.
Do not assume it works out of the box. The Micro HDMI 1.4 port will limit your handheld to 1080p at 60Hz even if the screen is WUXGA. You might be buying a bottleneck.
