minus-squarecooljacob204sfw@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoAnyone have an idea of what a replacement panel might go for in the future? I have a dead green pixel but I really don’t want to go through the RMA hassle and stress.
minus-squarecorvak@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoThe LCD replacements from iFixit are $90 and the third party higher res screens are $100 so I would guess probably between $90 and $120
minus-squareFortyLinks@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoA Switch OLED screen replacement is $160 on iFixit, and that’s a mass-manufactured part in the millions. Given the larger screen size and smaller quantities for the Steam Deck, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s $200+.
minus-squarecooljacob204sfw@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoYeah I think I’ll hold out and just replace it at a later date then play screen lottery.
minus-squarebnr32jason@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoBut you’ll be playing screen lottery when you buy the replacement.
minus-squarecooljacob204sfw@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoI hope they will have it sorted out by then and I’ll have the option to select Samsung.
minus-squareHisDivineOrder@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoI imagine the OLED panels could be considerably more expensive given the minimum unit with one is $550.
