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.
This post will absolutely cause mental health issues.
Well, people still have time to send their Decks back and Switch to one that is less likely to be affected by issues, at least if that an issue for some people.
Oh, I understand. I’ve just been down this road before with laptops, and it’s not a good time. Part lotteries are no fun!
I really wanted a steam deck but can’t afford one so it’s interesting to witness what I’m missing.
Early adoption is fun I guess lol
I cant wait!
