My new LE OLED Deck has a few red sub-pixels that are dead, and I’ve seen reports around this sub of others with similar issues. It almost seems like it is being mentioned more for specific models. So, I’m curious…. If you got a new Steam Deck OLED what model did you get and how is your screen?

If you haven’t checked and don’t know how it is pretty easy. Just go to desktop mode, install and open Firefox, then go to this website to check:

      Same here. Haven’t seen any and some little dust specks have made me paranoid but nothing that seems legit.

    Dang it seems like its mostly LE owners with lots of issues. Like the dead pixels seem to be mostly LE and the issues with the DPAD and buttons seems to be all LE also. Weird

      Just checked as well… have one that I can see in the test but yet can’t notice it when playing. Wondering if I should RMA it or not

        Same as yours, I don’t notice it when playing, so I’m just gonna keep it.

    Seems like the LE in general has had the most issues, or maybe it is just the most popular?

      It’s going to have outsized popularity with people who visit and comment in this sub, so hard to tell

    512 and no dead pixels- but I’m not looking too hard. I decided to just enjoy it and see if I notice any. So far, nothing

    My LE is arriving tomorrow. I’m tempted to just reject the deliver for a refund and order a 512gb and be done with these LE horror stories.
