is it possible to use https://www.jscreenfix.com/ to fix stuck pixels for my OLED? I already put in an RMA request. I am using it at the moment on a purple pixel that is in the middle of my screen.

    No, use Firefox to do a search for ‘dead pixel test’, and then go through it.

    If you have purple on a white screen, that means that you have the red & blue working, but not the green (unless both are stuck). You’ll be able to tell based on what happens with the dead pixel test.

    On the green background, if a black dot appears, you have a dead subpixel. Unless it also appears on the red & blue screens. It is possible that it is a stuck pixel, just kinda unlikely. It could also be multiple dead subpixels, but purple is probably red & blue either stuck together (somewhat unlikely), or that green is dead, which is somewhat common at this point.

    Rate of issue? Who knows, could be 50%, could be 1%, impossible to say. All I know is a lot of people with the LE have a dead green subpixel it seems.

      Follow up question on this info: I’ve got a single pixel issue. On the white test screen it appears purple/red and on green test screen it looks black. On red and blue test screen it’s not there at all. Do you think it’s dead or stuck?

        That’s dead for sure.

        Up to you if you want to do an RMA or not, I would generally recommend doing so as this is not a cheap device.

        You need to take a picture of the pixel though zoom in (a lot, you should be able to see the pixels), I would take one of it on a green background and another on the white. This needs to be submitted alongside your RMA request to Steam so that it will be approved w/o delay.

        On the green it is black b/c the green subpixel is dead (blue & red are off). If it was stuck, it would show on the other two screens too. To form white it mixes all three colors…so if one is missing it’ll form a dot that isn’t black (which would require the absence of colors), but will form one that is a composite of the other two.
