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.
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 :(.What d-pad issues have you had?
What’s the dpad issue?
Why RMA? You’re in the return policy window
One limited edition per account. They did not answer my question when I asked if I could purchase again, and instead offered me a replacement with another new console. So I accepted and moved on. I’m getting another new in box. Worst case scenario I’m losing some days it could have been shipped already, but oh well 🤷♀️.
