Yes — a used Steam Deck LCD is still worth it if the price is low enough. In 2026, I’d mainly consider it if you can get a clean, fully working unit around $180–$250, depending on storage and condition. If the price gets close to about $325–$400+, the Steam Deck OLED is usually the better buy because of the better screen, battery life, thermals/noise, and overall polish.

Best rule of thumb: buy the LCD for value; buy the OLED if you care about handheld comfort, display quality, and longer play sessions.
