You cannot put an OLED screen in an LCD model.
They have different internals. The screen upgrades that exist for the LCD are to swap in the anti-glare coated version, or a higher resolution.
Ah, I didn't realise that. But I mostly use my Steamdeck docked for gaming on my TV so personally haven't bothered looking into a screen upgrade.
It's probably not worth the effort. It's one of the more complex mods, and the screen with additional resolution comes with a bunch of drawbacks, and the anti-glare coating isn't that big a deal.
Both of those are still upgrades though - they didn't say "upgrade the screen to LED". It's a good callout though!
