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 a general reminder to not run random code on your terminal that you don’t understand. OPs cat command is fine, but always give such things a second thought.
Too late buddy, I already exit the matrix.
This should probably be the top comment and pinned by a mod.
Also, it’s generally a good idea to *type out* terminal commands you find online rather than copying+pasting them, because unicode tomfoolery can hide commands that get copied and then ran when pasted in.
What, you don’t like to run “rm -rf /” daily?
(this is dangerous, don’t do this, it was joke so this is warning for the truly literal here).
What do you mean? Every linux beginner should remove the French language pack to save space.
sudo rm -fr ./*Thanks for the reminder, on Linux this is a great way to brick something or delete files you didn’t mean to.
