And the screen looks fantastic. Some people here had me nervous and if you’ve been on the thread you’d think it was the end of the world and you’d have to instant RMA your device due to dead pixels.
Just wanted to add a positive note. My LE arrives pristine with no issues whatsoever.
It still may be a minority but there’s already enough anecdotal evidence on here to suggest there’s some kind of QC control issue with the BOE panel vs the Samsung panel. I don’t think I’ve read one report of a dead pixel on a Samsung but they are already numerous with the BOE.
Whatever happens though don’t worry, Valve are a very pro-consumer company compared to the norm in the tech world and I’m confident they will make it right for anyone affected, if this does turn out to be a widespread problem I wouldn’t put it past them to offer screen replacements on all LE models down the line.
I am sure there’s some truth to it. But I also see the same people posting in every Reddit post about their dead pixels.
I am sure it is an issue but how much more of an issue compared to Samsung, who knows.
I’ve seen several reports of the Samsung screens having dead pixels, one thread a guy had 4 dead pixels on his 512GB OLED!
Of course there will be defective Samsung panels, no electronics manufacturer has a 0% failure rate. It’s undeniable from the small sample size we’ve seen so far though that it’s much more common to have an issue with a BOE panel, nothing definitive can be derived from this but there’s enough evidence that it warrants talking about.
The amount of LE orders is seemingly way higher than any other model, I’d imagine, just like 512GB were the initial top seller at launch.
I’d imagine there’s a higher concentration of LE buyers in this sub vs overall. Would be interesting to take a poll ….
