So I’m hearing that the new OLED uses a Samsung display, and the LE uses some Chinese display that is known for failure and or dead pixels on arrival or later on? Should I just return my LE? I couldn’t decide between LE and regular because I didn’t want the red, I wanted all black, but ended up going with the LE specifically because it’s supposed to be Super limited (which it definitely doesn’t seem to be) and I figured maybe it would have a tiny bit more resale later on when tens of thousands of oleds are out into the world, but it seems more and more like a mistake now? I don’t understand why they would use different displays.

    Wow. Where are you hearing that?

    The truth is that the BOE panel is actually superior to the Samsung one. Both panels have QC issues, right now, though. With the BOE, people are seeing some with dead pixels. With the Samsung, people are seeing some with excessive mura and/or green tint. If you experience either, you should RMA, but given two pristine units from both suppliers, Samsung actually has the lesser of the two.
