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.

    It’s like with CPU silicon lottery. Some could be Overclocked very high, but some can’t. If you want guaranteed bigger speed buy the higher grade product.

    The difference is that a CPU will always perform as advertised. If something is broken, it’s sold as a lesser part without that something. You won’t get a 13600K with one defect core. The defect is hidden in the disabled cores.

    With screens, a flaw is always visible, so that strategy doesn’t work. That’s why communicating the class of a screen may not be a bad idea. People know the worst case scenario ahead of time, or can pay more to get better, because a flawless screen does constitute a higher value and production cost in a tangible way.
