Unfortunately Gamers Nexus has stated that new OLED screen will not be compatible with the old models. Perhaps there could be a third party solution though.
Yep. They’ve said that basically no internal components are cross compatible between original and OLED steam decks. Everything’s been redesigned internally
@jayandp@Pistcow and this is OK, normal hardware iteration. Me with the old Deck is still satisfied, can play the same way the same things with same ergonomics. For new players - yes, the upgrade seems much better for the same price (no like Nintendo did, by the way).
Cool, can we get a replacement part# for the screen, and can it be swapped into the original steam decks?
I would be surprised if this would be possible. It seems that the revision is quite substantial.
Apparently the new OLED screen will be available through iFixit

Valve employees have confirmed that the OLED display is incompatible with the LCD Deck’s Mobo. So you can’t upgrade just the screen.

Doubt, a lot of the internals also changed by at least a bit
I’m pretty sure the new deck’s screen is bigger, so I doubt that it’ll fit.
