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 going back and forth. My dead sub pixel isn’t dead center and isn’t noticeable during gaming unless I’m looking for it and honestly I play docked most the time.

    My worry / paranoia is they’ll replace the panels with Samsung ones, which I don’t want. The BOE panel is wonderful minus the pixel. I figure I’ll hold off until people start reporting on their rma replacements. Everything else about my LE is great.
