Okay friends, let’s check who has a Samsung OLED panel, and who has the BOE OLED panel inside his Deck.
Steps to check:
-
Go to Desktop mode
-
Open Konsole
-
Paste the following command into the terminal:
cat /sys/class/drm/card0-eDP-1/edid | hexdump -C
You will get the output like in this screenshot:
The marked number is relevant and means the following:
01: 800x1280 @59.998545 (BOE, LCD)
02: No longer present
03: 800x1280 @90.003892 (Samsung, OLED)
04: 800x1280 @90.061454 (BOE, OLED)
So my results are:
Model: Steam Deck 512GB OLED
Panel: Samsung OLED
What’s yours? Please also don’t forget to post the model, so we can analyze if there’s some correlation.
Model: Steam Deck 512GB OLED
Panel: Samsung OLEDno dead pixels or issues
OLED LE. BOE screen (
04). I see 4 dead pixels, and I’m dealing with the d-pad issues as well. I’ve been really looking forward to this thing :(.Thanks for giving me something to stress about. 🤣
OLED LE - BOR screen ( 3 dead pixels) :(
BOE
1 dead blue pixel
LE, BOE panel, and all is good!
512GB, Samsung Panel, no dead pixels
LE - 04 BOE panel - zero dead or stuck pixels after a test.
I’m late to the party, but: 512gb, Samsung panel, no dead pixels
BOE panel, no dead pixels
Seems I have the BOE screen as I got a 04. I dont spot any defects or dead pixels so far.
Is there any other concern with this screen?
Its for the 1TB LE.
1 TB LE, BOE OLED with 1 stuck pixel reporting in
I was contemplating if I wanted to drive myself crazy and check… I checked Samsung OLED on 512GB model. no dead pixels looks clean
Just got the Deck in and made sure, yeah it’s a BOE panel.
Probably will always be true for LE’s.
Steam deck LE - 04 BOE, no dead pixels or issue.
