I wonder if BOE panels are actually more likely to have dead pixels or if this is a case of the vocal minority. It’s always hard to tell because with a lot of issues like this, they get blown way outta proportion on Reddit.
Well but if its both manufacturer, then there would be people complaining about both non-LE and LE versions even if reddit/internet is a small sample size. A possible explanation is that people on the internet disproportionately buy more of the LE and so there are more LE that can fail even if the failure percentage is the same. I don’t think we’ll know for sure until Valve release official numbers.
Also, limited edition runs with more manual interaction will always have slightly higher defect rates. So it’s the perfect combination of a small problem, ignorance, and a very large megaphone.
If it’s reasonably likely is questionable. If someone has a defect on a new product they’ve been excited for, you’re absolutely right that they’d be vocal. This even happened with the LCDs when first waves were being shipped out.
But I will say it’s almost certain that BOE panels do have on average more defects than Samsung panels, including dead pixels. Even if the average for both is low.

This is a fair take on it too.
Even 10% would be a huge number for an out-of-box defect.
