Rune Factory 3 and 4 are good games. They are similar to Stardew Valley in that they are farming sims with a bigger focus on the RPG aspect.

It’s easy to get caught up in the fear mongering on this subreddit, but if it doesn’t bother you, just hang onto it for now.

If you send it now, you’ll just get a replacement unit, which could also have dead pixels or a more serious issue. If the only problem with your current unit is a dead pixel that doesn’t bother you, then hang onto it for now.

If it becomes a bigger problem down the line, you’ll still be able to RMA it, and worse case, self repair options will eventually become available as well.

I doubt it. If you want to replace it yourself, you’ll have to wait for iFixit to get replacement OLED screens. No idea when that’ll be.

Has anyone tried HDR through moonlight?

I feel like I can live with it for now, I might try and RMA in January when I’ll be playing other games and can survive without a deck for a few weeks. Depends on if it still bothers me then.

Sure, but then you’re stuck mailing it back, then waiting a couple of weeks for a replacement fingers crossed the new one isn’t worse.

Personally, if it’s not a problem for you, I wouldn’t bother. You’ll eventually be able to replace these yourself anyway.

I’m giving it a few days. I have 1 dead pixel, but I don’t usually notice it unless I look for it. I have no interest in playing the screen lottery for something that has no real impact on me.

If by next week I find in bothers me too much I might look into sending it in but right now it doesn’t seem worth the hassle as currently the dead pixel is the only problem I’ve noticed.

If you could just take this to a store and exchange it, I’d say go for it.

But in this case, it really depends on how much it bothers you. Mine has a dead pixel around the center of the screen, and I usually only notice when I go looking for it.

I’ll give it a few days to see if it starts to bother me, but if not, I don’t think it’s worth playing the screen lottery given how long I’d be stuck without a deck.

If it’s not noticeable, it’s probably not worth playing the screen lottery. People like to obsess over it, but most of the time, you won’t notice if you don’t look for it.

Heck, I had a Vita with a very obvious dead pixel, and it still barely affected my enjoyment.

I’m ignoring it for the time being. I have no interest in playing the screen lottery. It’d be different if I was just returning to a store, but it’s simply not serious enough for me to go through the hassle of an exchange.

Ordered LE on launch. Shipped Monday arrived today.
