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:
my 512gb OLED is fine
My 512 OLED arrived yesterday- no dead pixels.
Tested mine with the link, found no issues, LE model. Thanks for sharing.
No issues with my LE.
Same here. Haven’t seen any and some little dust specks have made me paranoid but nothing that seems legit.
So are the 1 TB reg oled etched safe? its just the limited edition orange ones with this issue?
I have the 512GB, no dead pixels
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
LE owner, just checked because of this post, and i have a single dead pixel…
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
LE. No dead pixels.
Monster Hunter Rise looks fantastic on this screen.
I have 512gb , haven’t done an actual pixel test but haven’t noticed one so I think I’m fine
Are valve replacing steam decks with dead pixels?
I was able to with my first LCD deck. Now, I got em’ again with my LE, but TWO stuck pixels this time (on a BOE panel).
Honestly gonna hold off until Monday, decide if I wanna RMA then, or hope it fixes itself.
Whew. So glad I got the Samsung panel. I know people will say BOE is just as good, but every post I’m seeing for dead pixels is 99% the LE edition with a BOE screen…
When I got my LCD Steam Deck last Christmas, it had one dead pixel. Valve was great - they RMA’d it and sent a new one within a week or so. Hopefully they haven’t changed in that regard.
My LCD that I got back from an RMA a week ago has a single dead pixel and they’re replacing mine.
They should be.
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.
512gb oled owner, I ran one of those tests to find dead pixels, and I didn’t see anything.
