Seeing others say their OLED decks, more commonly the LE ones, have a dead pixel made me check my LE deck for one and sure enough I got a dead pixel. If I never checked I probably never would notice it in regular gameplay. Now all I do is fixate on that dead pixel now. I’m really contemplating whether this warrants setting up an RMA when everything else is fine with the deck.

    To all those recommending RMAing, please be aware that most companies nowadays set a certain number of dead pixels as the minimum for a screen to be considered faulty.

    Usually 1 or 2 is not enough.

    If we think that is fair or not is beyond what I want to discuss, but I’d recommend checking the warranty terms and conditions before entering an exhausting process.

      Yeah, I swear the entitlement on this sub is unreal.

      It’s not just the number of pixels but the placement. A single dead pixel in the center can sometimes be cause for an RMA, but I’m seeing people RMAing over a single dead subpixel in the top edge of the screen.

      That’s perfectly functional by most monitor standards.

        Nah, if I’m getting an OLED and expecting a better display I should not have to settle for a dead pixel, especially when I don’t have ones on my LG CX oled tv’s and my Switch OLED.
