Am i correct in thinking that SWOLED & Steam Deck (OLED) don't support G-sync/Freesync? 

If I am (and they don't) I find it strange that you say that most people would prefer a middling LCD with VRR as I've only ever heard people gush over the 2 OLED options...

Also, can you offer any insight into why we don't see other Nvidia solutions in this space?

They don't support it on their internal screens (and not at all in Switch's case), nope. 

I can guarantee you that if the Switch 2 released with an OLED display and no G-Sync people would be disappointed. Maybe not the same people, but there will be people disappointed because G-Sync opens up more options for performance modes. Heck, people are disappointed due to lack of VRR support for external displays for this very reason.

There is also a reason why VRR was a feature added to gaming monitors long before OLED is even mainstream. And there is a reason why, for example, the Rog Ally 2 isn't going to have an OLED display despite probably going to cost nearly $1,000.

ASUS “not willing to give up VRR” for OLED in the new ROG Xbox Ally X 

We did look at OLED this year again, we did some R&D and prototyping with OLED, but it’s still not like where we want it to be when you factor in VRR into the mix. And we aren’t willing to give up VRR right now.


Edit: There is no T239-equivalent APU for purchase and ARM-support even on Linux is still nascent, so that's why nobody is using Nvidia in these handhelds.
