Okay friends, let’s check who has a Samsung OLED panel, and who has the BOE OLED panel inside his Deck.

Steps to check:

  1. Go to Desktop mode

  2. Open Konsole

  3. 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.

    Seems I have the BOE screen as I got a 04. I dont spot any defects or dead pixels so far.

    Is there any other concern with this screen?

    Its for the 1TB LE.

      Look at the white text and see if you notice any color fringing, it could appear as a rainbow appearing around the text, from what I can tell red on the left and green on the right is most noticeable.

        Cant say I notice it. Maybe if I use lenses but at that point… it doesnt matter to me.
