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?
I’ve been back and forth on it myself. I have a dead red pixel on the left side. I honestly don’t even notice it unless I’m actively looking for it or doing the dead pixel test. I’m leaning towards just keeping it, especially since everything else is great. Don’t feel like playing the RMA lottery to fix one pixel and have something else be worse. If it was super noticeable while gaming, I’d be more inclined to RMA it.
Actually had a good laugh when I asked people to see if they could spot it themselves. Most couldn’t find it unless I pointed it out. lol
honestly mines shines green and is super obvious when browsing web pages or any scene where color is consistent and blends red across it, entire area gets a tinge of green around it. The effect is worse harder drive brightness, if it was just black during most situations it wouldn’t be as big of a deal I think, but its bright green in most cases.
My blue pixel is 100% fine tho
