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 GB samsung panel no dead pixels
512 OLED - Samsung
Thoroughly checked for dead pixels using the pixel test website. No dead pixels.
Can i get a ping here? Mine arriving today
Samsung
512 here.
Just a general reminder to not run random code on your terminal that you don’t understand. OPs cat command is fine, but always give such things a second thought.
Model: 1tb LE
Panel: BOE OLED no dead pixels yet
I had a LE ordered and canceled after seeing this if I’m paying more I want more premium screen not worse
I’ve got 512GB OLED with a Samsung panel. No dead pixels on mine.
I have a Samsung panel on my 1TB OLED just delivered today in the UK
512 Samsung. No dead pixels.
I’m just gonna say it really doesn’t matter and I’d literally anything happened regardless you can just rma it.
It said no such file in my SD…
LE 1tb - 04 BOE - no dead pixels
If I get a dead or stuck pixel, I am returning it, not sending it for replacement. I’ll pick up the standard model, instead, at that point.
My Hexdump looks weird but its 003 Samsung for the 512gb oled model, UK order 20min after launch
