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.
Just checked my SteamDeck OLED 512GB ,
/03 under DRM so SAMSUNG one , No Dead Pixel
kinda weird they stuff the LE with the BOE , i messed up with a BOE VA 15,6" Aftermarket Laptop screen years ago , look great first but 4 dead pixels in the next few days :(
Go for the 512 if you can ! The screen is perfect , courage les gars and sorry for the frenchi english ;p
Your English is good. There is nothing to apologize for.
