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.

    Edit: In the 2 weeks window it’s replacable because the user can decide they dont want it. At least in the EU.

    Only if you can actually buy another limited edition.

    I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a fully functioning screen. ISO standards exist for a reason, but at the same time they shouldn’t be hidden behind. They’re not some universal truth, just a (manufacturing) standard.

    If manufacturers want to bin screens more efficiently, and there’s a lot to be said for that in terms of economics and environmental impact, that’s fine, but they should be up front about what to expect. It being hidden in the terms and conditions somewhere what they consider a good enough screen isn’t enough.

    The Deck is a fairly cost optimized product and this could be one of the trade-offs you make, but it should be clear ahead of time. That way consumers know what they get, and can pick other devices with higher standards if they want, probably at a higher price.

      Yeah I feel like people who try to justify defects are just people who took a manufacturing 101 class at their local night school and want to show it off.

      The whole point of ISO is that it minimalizes defects, but defects do still occur and they’re still the manufacturers fault

      Otherwise Boeing could say “yeah, our faulty plane crashed and a bunch of people died. But our company is still within the 6th standard deviation from the mean so it’s all okay 👍 nobody is allowed to be mad at us”
