I got an RMA from Valve for my LE after noticing a dead blue subpixel without testing for it. The pixel isn’t in the middle of the screen and isn’t very distracting when running games but I know it’s there which bothers me. The unit is otherwise perfect. Everything from the overall build quality to the screen uniformity is great. It’s just the one dead subpixel… My question is if anyone in a similar situation has decided to keep their LE despite it having a pixel issue in order to not risk getting a unit that’s worse?
Just got my LE today. Also found a dead blue subpixel (upper-right quadrant near the edge of the screen) during testing, unit is otherwise flawless.
I plan on keeping it, as it’s just one subpixel and I’ve only noticed it during testing, not during gameplay or general use. If it starts to bother me in the future or more die past the RMA period, I have no issues swapping it with a replacement from iFixit once they start stocking the OLED panels.
Hope this helps.
yeah dead blue doesn’t seem very noticable and I agree with keeping it I would too
