No dead pixels, no sub pixel weird colorations, just a totally fine normal Steam Deck with a fun color way. If you’re an owner of the LE waiting for it to arrive, freaking out about it because you’re seeing all the issues here, fear not there is a good chance your Deck is going to be fine.
Sorry what’s BOE?
Inferior Chinese company that steals patents from Samsung and isn’t used by Apple because of their lack of QC and display standards.
I’m fine here too with pixels. Those vents look and smell real good too.
LE here with a singular dead pixel somewhat centered on the screen. I’ve decided to overlook it given that everything else is top notch.
is it really dead (back) or just stuck a color? The last issue can be fixed.
Sad to say it’s a small abyss of a pixel, It’s currently black. I maintain some semblance of hope that it will one day wake up, not likely though.
Mine is perfect, too! No issues here; absolutely loving it. Far more than my Legion Go and ROG Ally.
What is the use case for having a Steam Deck AND a Legion Go AND an ROG Ally?
I don’t get it either, but some people have the money to burn and like collecting these things. I buy things for their usefulness, usually. Having three expensive things that do basically the same thing doesn’t make sense to me, but it’s his money so…
Same, I just sat at the dealership and wore the deck in to test for dead pixels for sometime now and still hasn’t shown up played a game for like 3-4hours and nothing.
Not necessarily so for a dead pixel though
My oLEd is perfect. Every buttons, the screen. 100% happy with it
Canadian here, my LE arrives tomorrow and obviously praying for no dead pixels. Personally, I’ve never had to RMA any hardware in my life before. I’m usually the one reading about other people’s problems than running into my own. So I’m trying to be optimistic that the dead pixel issue isn’t as wide spread as this sub makes it sound. I’d actually be curious to see a poll result here for those that have dead pixels vs those that don’t.
I’ve done an RMA with Valve before and other than the length of time (somewhere between 2-3 weeks for me in the US) the whole process was super simple and streamlined. Get label, drop it off, wait.
But odds are you will be fine. Definitely take a close look when you first unbox/setup but I’m hopeful you won’t have any issues.
If it makes you feel any better my only experience with valve has been super positive. I had to rma one of the base stations for the index and they sent me a new one before I had even shipped the broken one back
They aren’t doing that for the LE though, and now it is out of stock…
Same here. 100% satisfied with mine.
Same, but for my 512 OLED! Really love the blackout style colors on the inputs. ABXY, shoulders, start/select/steam/… all feel way better to press as well than on my original LCD. Everything is just so solid and snappy.
Came for screen and battery. Got premium build quality as a surprise bonus
Same, mines fine
Honestly even in the complaint threads I’m seeing more people reporting theirs are fine than people with dead pixels. Given people are already more likely to report a problem than everything being fine, seems likely that the large majority don’t have issues.
Not that it makes it suck any less of you are unlucky, but at least your odds look pretty good on your RMA being issue-free if you go that route.
Mine is also fine
I have 2 dead pixels but only on green and can hardly notice them anyway. I’m happy with it.
my only complaint about the screen right now is the fact that text is oddly jagged. other than that, it’s an absolute blast to use!
Mine is perfect. I have no issues with it and just the overall feel of the sticks as well as the buttons feel better immensely. I do feel bad for the people that do have issues with theirs, but quit trying to karma farm for your issues and just contacts valve and get it replacement.
Kind of seems like the direction of a lot of hardware subreddits nowadays.
