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 got my 1TB LE deck in the mail
Same 04 BOE screen others have mentioned. No dead pixels or other issues.
I am curious if you ran a test with pure colors. I first didn’t notice the dead pixels on mine, but I looked harder and found 3 dead blue subpixels… They were hard to spot for me on the blue screen.
I used the various solid color backgrounds here https://lcdtech.info/en/tests/dead.pixel.htm
I’ll check again in a few but I didn’t see any issues.
