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’m very much on the fence. If I had not run the test, I would never have noticed the two dead green subpixels near a corner. I absolutely cannot see them while playing games, even when actively looking for them, unless the screen is white, which rarely happens. I can totally understand and support why people are RMAing for even just one dead pixel, but for me personally, if it’s having zero effect on my enjoyment, I’m just not sure it’s worth the hassle. (Future resale value is not something I care about.)

    I did start the RMA process so they at least have another one on record in case it helps bring to light a significant QC issue with these panels.
