The INNOCN 48Q1V is the perfect 4K OLED Gaming Monitor for the best Steam Deck 2 Experience​

The 48Q1V has a 138 Hz refresh rate and a 4K UHD resolution, allowing users to enjoy an incredibly smooth viewing experience when connected to the Valve Steam Deck 2 handheld gaming PC. When the Steam Deck 2 is paired with the 48Q1V, users can enjoy their favorite game in comfort.

Sourced from digital foundry's new monitor review.

Did a monitor manufacturer just leak Steam Deck 2? Or intentionally making a "mistake" knowing it'll generate some light buzz and bring attention to the product?

 

[RoboFu]

no

 

[64bitmodels]

please let it be real

 

[feynoob]

please let it be real

More storage, more battery life and that is instantly buy for me.

 

[IDKFA]

More battery life, more storage (at least 2TB) and more power (3070 GPU and Zen 4 CPU) and I'll buy it day one.

 

[64bitmodels]

and more power (3070 GPU and Zen 4 CPU)

getting a PC with those specs would cost over 1000... come on

 

[AJUMP23]

Valve already said SD2 is a while away.

 

[Zoloft]

Anything portable and bigger than the switch is kinda nerdy and ugly.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Better screen and battery and I’ll be there day 1

 

[RyanEvans21]

More battery life, more storage (at least 2TB) and more power (3070 GPU and Zen 4 CPU) and I'll buy it day one.

Add oled screen

 

[Unknown?]

Not to mention it'd be like 25 pounds due to the massive battery needed for just two hours of life. Lol

 

[Gaiff]

More battery life, more storage (at least 2TB) and more power (3070 GPU and Zen 4 CPU) and I'll buy it day one.

Also a lower price point of $99.

 

[Trogdor1123]

138 hz?

 

[diffusionx]

Valve said in March that the Steam Deck 2 is years away. Unless you think some random Chinese screen manufacturer is more reliable than the company that made the Steam Deck, I would say that this doesn't hold much weight.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Gonna be a long wait.

 

[daveonezero]

no 4k is stupid at handheld size

Ok you realize that is a 48” monitor right?

Also that company makes some pretty decent portable monitors that I’ve been looking at.

 

[Sleepwalker]

No.

 

[Ribi]

Strange way of referring to the ally

 

[yurinka]

More storage, more battery life and that is instantly buy for me.

Add better OLED display and cheaper price to the list

 

[Puscifer]

This guy lol

Steam Pro?

 

[VolticArchangel]

Highly doubt a new powerful sku soon, but in the next iteration, I expect a 1080p OLED screen + Zen 4 + RDNA4 APU on N3 with the same power envelope, and a 512 GB SSD default (1TB SSD option $100 more).

Same form factor
2025
$399

 

[Gamezone]

4K on a handheld? Dude, I even run my ROG Ally at 720p because it's enough.

 

[64bitmodels]

I expect a 1080p OLED screen

no. 720p/900p until processor efficiency gets significantly better or battery tech gets significantly better. look at how the 1080p 120hz screen fucked over the ally's battery life

Nintendo said one day before the reveal that they have no plans for a DS Lite.

 

[Spukc]

no

yes

 

[IDKFA]

Add oled screen

Yes, but a 12 inch 4K OLED!

Also a lower price point of $99.

That's a bit unrealistic

 

[Lupin3]

Just leak? Article is three months old. I'm sure it would've been edited by now if it was true and they made a do-do.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I would call things like steam deck and rog natural handhelds.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

4k for handheld is unnecessary.

 

[Inanilmaz]

6.5" 720p OLED Screen would be perfect

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

4k for handheld is unnecessary.

For running at native resolution yes, but 2160 is amazing when it comes to upscaling, you can run 240p 480p 720p 1080p integer scaling, and even non-integer resolutions like 1298p 1620p 1800p still look fantastic on a 4k display. Of course, the price of such a component far outweigh its advantages. A 1080p120 VRR display would be much better.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Wait, how old is Steam Deck by now? I know that a closed platform like this is bound to go obsolete eventually but that seems way too fast, especially considering the prices and all.

started trickling out in late 2021 but really only decently available for not even a year.

 

[Aurelius]

Instant buy if it can play Starfield.

 

[Edgelord79]

4K on a handheld lol. This alone makes me feel this is fake.

 

[Silver Wattle]

138Hz?

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

No way sd2 would have a 4k monitor, extremely beefy comps have a hard time with 4k sometimes

 

[Wooxsvan]

More battery life, more storage (at least 2TB) and more power (3070 GPU and Zen 4 CPU) and I'll buy it day one.

lol what kinda watts is this make believe model going to pull? rofl

 

[Diseased Yak]

LOL.... no.

 

[Dream-Knife]

Nintendo said one day before the reveal that they have no plans for a DS Lite.

Valve isn't Nintendo.

Also, Index 2 comes first.

 

[nightmare-slain]

I'll buy one if it has improved battery. Thought about getting a Deck but I'll wait.

 

[zeomax]

Valve isn't Nintendo.

Doesn't matter. Every company will deny that they have plans for "that" or to release "this" until the very end.

 

[Klosshufvud]

The Chinese pull this crap all the time. Remember PS5 Pro "leaks"? Free PR.

 

[sammyfrosh]

More storage, more battery life and that is instantly buy for me.

And a VRR 800p oled screen. It doesn't even have to go for 1080p like the other competitors.

 

[JCK75]

They're not going to be in a big hurry to release the second one simply because you know they're never going to release the third one.

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

lol what kinda watts is this make believe model going to pull? rofl

It comes with a backpack sized Diesel generator. Which bumps the battery life with another 15 minutes. Don't worry.

 

[Sorcerer]

There is going to have to be at least a lengthy amount of time from the last sale (in this case the sale on the Steam Deck ended yesterday) to when they can even announce a new model. I think it would be a shitty move to have people buy the Deck and then announce a new model a week later.
I assume the Deck will be on discount with every major Steam sale. Probably Summer sale and year end sale at least. Now they probably have created a situation where people will never pay full price for the deck. Valve probably doesn't care because the real money is in game sales and not the hardware.
But I would assume there would be something like at least a year of no discounts on the current deck to appease the majority who buy it that way. Then I think we can assume something new will be announced.
I get someone who paid full price recently without waiting for a sale will be pissed as well, but Valve cannot appease everyone.
Imagine Valve has a fire sale like they did for the controller? 5 bucks for a Steam Deck!!! LOL!!!

 

[Kenpachii]

Whenever a new deck arrives, i will buy it day one,

 

[Dream-Knife]

Anyone remember switch pro rumors in Aug of 2017?
