Steam Deck Certified Refurbished FAQ
What’s the difference between a certified refurbished unit and a new unit?
Certified Refurbished units are returned customer units that have been thoroughly cleaned and tested following the same testing process used for new units. There are no differences in technical or functional specifications between refurbished and new units, but there may be minor cosmetic defects.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. The same warranty you receive with a new unit is provided with each Certified Refurbished unit. If you have an issue with your unit and that issue cannot be resolved it will be replaced with another Certified Refurbished unit.
What are “minor cosmetic defects”?
We consider minor cosmetic defects to be small blemishes or scratches (on the plastic casing, not the screen) generally caused from normal handling of the unit.
How does support work for these units?
As a customer with a Certified Refurbished unit, you will receive the exact same customer support experience through our support teams as you would with a new unit.
- The same one year warranty as a new Steam Deck
- A refurbished power supply - fully tested (may have minor cosmetic marks)
- Carrying case and Quick Start guide

sorted byIt is 90Hz, a tiny bit bigger, and has much better colour accuracy/saturation. Same resolution and both screens are extremely bright. Battery life is also around 30% better on the OLED model.
Personally I'd be tempted by the OLED at £479 also, but it's definitely not a game changer. The LCD model is obviously better value for money at £319. You're paying 50% more and the performance is virtually identical. (edited)
steam deck 2 could (and should) go the route qualcomm cpus. 15w and superior to m2 performance would guarantee hit
that would make steam deck 2 a legit PC/mac replacement- it might even cause microsoft/apple to start worrying- which means Apple might start releasing a good product
I have the OLED, my brother has an LCD model - both are excellent, as a busy dad the Deck is revolutionary and I would happily recommend it to anyone.
Steam cert returns may aswell be new (from experience)
I've owned all of the models and personally HATED the etched glass, YMMV, BUT you've got the option to put a glass protector on essentially making it glossy.
Unless you're on a strict budget the OLED is worth every single penny and more, the battery/fans are all very noticable, and the screen is wonderful, (went for 512 for the glossy screen as the colors pop on the oled) not to mention the 90hz.
Given the use you will get out of it and future resale value, the OLED is simply the better buy.
Deal is hot though nontheless.
Speculative - Don't expect a steam deck 2 announcement for quite some time - this is Valve we're talking about.
Since owning the deck I've found myself gaming alot more than ever just because of the ease, and going through years and years of backlog, I literally can't recommend one enough, but do yourself a favor and go for the OLED if you can afford it.
Is it still hit-and-miss on the quality of these or are they all sorted now? had one and the sides weren't aligned? (edited)
My OLED Steam Deck has been a revelation, it has pulled me back in after years not playing much.
I got it from CEX as a B grade came absolutely mint condition boxed as new and runs perfect.
I traded in old tech I acquired or just never used for vouchers, so effectively it cost me nothing. (edited)
It's a surprisingly capable machine as well. You won't regret.
re the prescription lenses I bought them from honsvr.com less than half the price of the recommended ones and they are great, no blind spots and speedy delivery
Oh! Inserts cost me $56.95 for the Air 2 (normal and pro are the same), beware the 1’s are a different fitting.
End result is better here since you don't risk voiding warranty.
And as I understand they replace batteries and all the moving parts on the refurbs.
Battery life on the LCD model is variable .I know the high demanding games really kill the battery but On indie games you get hours. I'm literally getting almost 9 hours on FTL- faster than light with low watts and refresh rate (edited)
Retro emulation so this will replace my Powkiddy..
Docked in the living room for Jackbox with the Family... That means I can put my PC back into it's intended place hooked up to a 144hz in the hobby/music room.
If Hogwarts Legacy runs okay on it then it's a bonus
Played a few games on there and they’re such good quality. Red dead 2 on the deck genuinely surprised me in terms of quality it’s excellent, sea of stars and eastward also excellent but non comparable graphics wise.
For the amount of hours I’ve already put into the deck it’s paid for itself multiple times over.
I'd still spend a little more on the OLED model though. SSD is easy enough to replace and there are plenty of OEMs offering them now so the prices have dropped quite a bit.
Can also dock it to a 1080p monitor and play on low settings when needed.
Hopefully ARM chips keep pushing AMD with their APUs and in 5-10 years time you'll probably see PS5 levels of performance in the palm of your hand.
I have the Air 2 Pro and they are fantastic, check Ali Express for great deals. The only difference between the Air 2 and the Pro models is that the lenses on the pro model has 3 Electrochromic Dimming Levels 0% / 35% / 100%, I have both and I must say the pro is worth the extra £50 as you just press a button to adjust the lens opacity to see the room without having to take a lens cover off.
Full info and specs here, do some research and check what if any adapters you may need for your specific needs (edited)
There's tonnes of guides on how to do this.
The steam deck is a good bit of kit, but windows doesnt run that great. Fine to get by etc if you want to play COD.
If you want an easier and better experience to play COD, get a Legion go or ROG Ally. But they are more expensive units.
I have one but find myself going back to PC gaming because of the much bigger screen. I feel like I'm missing details when I play stuff on the Steam Deck simply because it's smaller.
