Quality control seems much higher on the Samsung. This thread has hundreds of posts and not a single example of a dead pixel on a Samsung panel. Meanwhile, BOE has dozens of reports.
No… People are just freaking out for no reason. The BOE company has been around for a very long time and theirs been videos already that dismiss any need to be concerned.
Googling a bit, it looks like boe sometimes produces panels for Samsung. I would assume they’re up to spec for Samsung to willing do that. I’m sure valve has some criterion that it must meet as well.
Unless someone comes out with real data on both screens, this might be overblown.
is there a meaningful difference between them?

Look man - now that we’re all done being complete idiots about glossy vs. etched, we have to find something else to be complete idiots about.
Sounds like a moderate amount of copium.
Yes, there are. Samsung is known to have the best screens in terms of image quality. So this is a screen lottery that Deck buyers are playing.
