I know exactly what they meant and the only difference between the etched glass screen and the regular screen on the earlier models was the surface of the glass and that’s primarily due to the reduction in glare. Which is replicated 99% as effectively with a matte glass overlay. I have done side by side comparisons between mine and my friends one who got the etched glass and you cannot tell the difference. Especially since the first thing you want to do on the etched glass model is put a screen protector on top to protect it anyway.

The OLED is a significant upgrade on both.

I got the entry model and an etched screen protector and upgraded to a 1tb ssd and saved myself a couple hundred. This was pre OLED though so YMMV

Taking a break from GTA4 to play HuniePop which is just a fun little match 3 puzzler with occasional anime tiddies which is good for little 10 minute bursts which is 90% of my available playtime at the minute.
