    Praying for Samsung but knowing I’ll probably get stuck with the sloppy seconds.

      If it’s like the Apple (I’m thinking about the iPhone Xr) that use at least two display manufacturers there is no real difference between the two except the screen

        I think that will be the case because Panelook doesn’t have any 7.4” 1280x800 OLEDs in their database. That means these aren’t off-the-shelf panels with mix and match quality, they’re something valve is custom ordering to their own specs. That happens all the time and usually you can’t tell the difference.

    Damn, why can’t things be simple… Most reviewers probably had the Samsung panel (which is like the Switch OLED one)

    Even if that was true, as long as both display reach 600 nits and 1000 nits in hdr content as advertised, it will be fine, it’s not like only Samsung can do good Oled display, even iPhones used BOE displays before

    Exactly what’s the assumed risk here? What would be the possible disadvantages of receiving one screen VS the other? I’ve owned OLEDs since the LG C8 and only ever had problems with horizontal stripes with a B9. Other than that, I had no reason to complain about an LG C8 and my current C1, C2 and Switch OLED. The closest that comes to being an issue is the Switch’s tint shift when using auto brightness.

    Guess we’re in for a “good fan bad fan” remake, but for the screen this time.

    So the review units are custom primo quality and the rest of us get lower tier screens. No wonder they’re so amazed.

    So…your OLED SD arrives. Do you check which display you got or just ignore it and be happy :)

      I love how everyone is now freaking out over the smallest details instead of just taking measured responses. They’re acting like the new oled panel will be worse than the og one. It’s so funny it’s sad 😔

    Does Samsung produce classic OLEDs or do they by default use their quantum dot technology?

    Samsung is the best and I would prefer it but frankly I’d rather not know lol I did figure they would be involved somehow.
