My new LE OLED Deck has a few red sub-pixels that are dead, and I’ve seen reports around this sub of others with similar issues. It almost seems like it is being mentioned more for specific models. So, I’m curious…. If you got a new Steam Deck OLED what model did you get and how is your screen?
If you haven’t checked and don’t know how it is pretty easy. Just go to desktop mode, install and open Firefox, then go to this website to check:
Are valve replacing steam decks with dead pixels?
They should be.
I was able to with my first LCD deck. Now, I got em’ again with my LE, but TWO stuck pixels this time (on a BOE panel).
Honestly gonna hold off until Monday, decide if I wanna RMA then, or hope it fixes itself.
Whew. So glad I got the Samsung panel. I know people will say BOE is just as good, but every post I’m seeing for dead pixels is 99% the LE edition with a BOE screen…
My LCD that I got back from an RMA a week ago has a single dead pixel and they’re replacing mine.
When I got my LCD Steam Deck last Christmas, it had one dead pixel. Valve was great - they RMA’d it and sent a new one within a week or so. Hopefully they haven’t changed in that regard.
