Took a look at the ifixit for the steam deck OLED, honestly it doesn’t look bad at all. I’ve removed lots of screens from phones and other tablets and such, and this looks no worse than those.
But man, MS really went out of their way to make the screen impossible to remove without cracking it on this one. There’s a ridiculous amount of adhesive and coupled with the glass being really really thin… 😅 Yea it’s a shit show when even the ifixit team can’t even get some photos for their teardown without a shattered screen lol

Wow yeah, you can literally watch the screen break more and more along the teardown:
