      I’m not sure valve would let you do that. My best guess is they would just replace the whole unit. Its always worth asking though. I just hope my words let people know not to live in fear of dead pixels because most people probably own a device with a dead pixel. Its just probably at the edge of the screen and therefore unnoticeable. Also some dead pixel’s aren’t truly dead, they are just stuck pixels and may work themselves out (I’ve had stuck pixels work themselves out, sometimes years after the fact).

        I feel this is bad advice. 1 dead pixel on a screen with this resolution is equivalent to a 4K screen with multiple dead pixels. If you ever hope to resell the Deck in the future do you really want to have to deal with the buyer complaining about a dead pixel?

        You are paying top dollar for this machine and you shouldn’t ignore any dead pixel especially since the cheaper models of Deck don’t seem to have this problem to the same degree plus Valve can afford it.
