Seeing others say their OLED decks, more commonly the LE ones, have a dead pixel made me check my LE deck for one and sure enough I got a dead pixel. If I never checked I probably never would notice it in regular gameplay. Now all I do is fixate on that dead pixel now. I’m really contemplating whether this warrants setting up an RMA when everything else is fine with the deck.

    I would be expecting zero dead pixels. The OLED screen is the signature feature of the product so it better be perfect.

    Don’t feel bad about returning it, Valve can afford it.

      There’s a tolerance on TV display oleds, TV companies won’t return/come out and replace the screen.

        Okay but the steam deck isn’t a TV and is a much lower resolution than most 4K TVs so a single dead pixel is more noticeable.

          Didn’t say anything to the contrary, just saying that unfortunately a lot of companies won’t accept a dead pixel or two as actually a defect.
