Heard the regular oled mura effect is way worse compared to the LE oled. Anyone else experience this? Would it be worth returning and getting the LE? I find the grainyness to be very distracting. It’s the same as my oled switch and I was hoping this one would be better.
Idk why people are downvoting you just for sharing your experience, and even with evidence at that. Not cool!
With that said, what the fuck is going on there, man?
Now, I don’t own Inside, and the demo doesn’t want to launch on deck even via protonGE, so it’s hard for me to compare directly.
But, I did take some comparisons from the trailer on the store page, I mean, it’s certainly no beautiful BOE uniformity, but to my eye, it’s not even close to as bad as your comparisons? 🤔
(I tested on Limbo as well, but that game has a flickery effect going on that makes it bad for testing this kinda thing)
my unit
I don’t mind the downvotes I’m just trying to be helpful and people like to get mad. Im disappointed in both screen manufacturers. BOE with the dead pixels and Samsung with the bad uniformity. It’s very possible that I just got a really bad Samsung panel on the 1TB model. I noticed the very grainy menus as soon as I turned on the device. If your deck doesn’t look like mine I would definitely hold onto it because you know units like mine are out there now.
This is pretty much where I’m at. People have advised me to refund, and I put a support request in which I’m awaiting response on, but at the end of the day I literally have two units right in front of me and they are almost completely identical. Mine is actually bit better than my partner’s, so I already have something to lose :O
I didn’t notice the issue for a long time because it requires a set of conditions before it appears. So I believe many people just haven’t picked up on their panels unique handling of dark images yet.
I would be interested in comparing our panels again in a other context, as yours and that other commenters seem to be on some other level of grain. I’d like to just eliminate phone camera crappyness or lighting that’s affecting the comparison, and find a game / image we have in common. It’s just hard to do with Steamui and all the opacity layers and built-in colour bleed lol, probably easier to do on KDE.
I agree that QC seems like a sore spot with both manufacturers, it’s nothing new but at the same time I am so beyond sick of panel lotteries in monitors, TV screens, gaming devices, mobiles… I get that I’m giving off old man shouts at clouds energy here but it’s so exhausting.
It’s hard for me to say if there is any “grain” to my UI or if it’s just how the UI is (like, it has colour banding on the UI that isn’t a result of the screen, just weird transparency effects, it appears on my IPS monitor as well)
With my eyes about 3x closer than I would comfortably view the screen, I detect a slight grain on a level that almost smaller than a pixel - not sure if this is the UI itself, the OLED pixels struggling, or even just the matte coating on the screen!
It seems that your panel is fine. The way you describe your menus sounds a lot better than what I see. I would describe the grain in the menus as a coat of tiny green speckles that cover the entire screen and is noticeable at a comfortable viewing distance. I wish I had some equipment that could capture it but maybe some one else on this sub will be able too. I’m just trying to be informative because I know how frustrating this was when I discovered the green tint on my switch OLED. I know some phones with green tint and grain were actually able to improve with software updates as well.
