I’m waiting for my SD still, but wondering how much this will affect me. I started streaming to my TV more and more so that I’m not sitting in my office aaaaallll day (I wfh) and imagine I’ll keep doing that most of the time, but the fast access to games on the SD makes me think I’ll start gravitating towards it. Right now I don’t bother to turn anything on unless I have an hour or so, but there are so many good indie games I’ve wanted to get around to that would be perfect for quick sessions.

Divinity: Original Sin 2, Larian’s big game before BG3, is also excellent.

You’ll get one soon! Odd that it’s not routine.

Make at least one of the images have the entire screen! I included a picture that was a close up of the affected pixel and they asked me for one with the whole screen.

Thanks! I had a dead sub pixel, but I’m hoping my RMA is fine.

Steam was good about RMAing, for anyone still following. Was just a dead sub pixel in the middle of my screen. Distracting on light backgrounds.

I have one on my LE OLED. Also noticed that it seems to mostly be LE owners with them. Their limited run must have been botched.

You’re not the only one!

I’m not up on the Portal controversy, so I might not understand this totally, but I do review (other) hardware for a living. We usually rate a product based on what it says it can do, so products that seem comparable might not be directly because the goal posts have been moved.

From what little I know about the Portal, all it has to do is stream well. Simple function = easy to function well. The product doesn’t seem like it can reasonably be compared to a Steam Deck directly like an Ally could.

Number ratings are dumb SEO fodder demanded by the Google gods, anyways. I hate having to pick a number. It’s never a good representation.
