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:
How do you know which panel you have?

Ah, mine is apparently Samsung. I’ve had BOE panels on phones though, and haven’t had any problems with those. I suspect it’s likely that just due to the nature of limited runs, if BOE is doing a lot of those, there may be more problems. (Limited runs often use a different production line, often with less automation, and humans are more likely to miss a stuck pixel than a computer check.)
Is your deck the LE? That’s some good insight. It will be interesting to see if this is something that persists or just a crappy batch on the LE. Dead pixels aside I will say that the panel is absolutely gorgeous and in my opinion it’s a major improvement over the switch OLED
