Okay friends, let’s check who has a Samsung OLED panel, and who has the BOE OLED panel inside his Deck.
Steps to check:
-
Go to Desktop mode
-
Open Konsole
-
Paste the following command into the terminal:
cat /sys/class/drm/card0-eDP-1/edid | hexdump -C
You will get the output like in this screenshot:
The marked number is relevant and means the following:
01: 800x1280 @59.998545 (BOE, LCD)
02: No longer present
03: 800x1280 @90.003892 (Samsung, OLED)
04: 800x1280 @90.061454 (BOE, OLED)
So my results are:
Model: Steam Deck 512GB OLED
Panel: Samsung OLED
What’s yours? Please also don’t forget to post the model, so we can analyze if there’s some correlation.
512 OLED - Samsung
Thoroughly checked for dead pixels using the pixel test website. No dead pixels.
Same result for me.
Same here.
No way I’m going to look for dead pixels once I receive mine.
I want to keep my mental sanity.
I don’t understand this type of thinking? You would rather not know? You paid for it. I expect an adequate unit. Stand up for yourself and demand one even if it is bothersome
LE - BOE Display, no dead pixels on mine.
Yet ?
What?
