Return to gaming mode also causes that weird bug right now where green lines start spreading from the right of the device to the left, it happened to me.once so I just reboot my device when in desktop mode to get back into gaming mode.
That said, doing an actual reboot does seem to take even LONGER than going back to gaming mode normally, but that may be my imagination
I haven’t tried multiplayer, but it’s been playing fine for me in single player 1280x800 all settings at maximum,.locked 60fps at all times with 1000mhz GPU.
I am using the controller support mod that includes the community patch

“If your deck doesn’t look like mine I would definitely hold onto it because you know units like mine are out there now.”
This is pretty much where I’m at. People have advised me to refund, and I put a support request in which I’m awaiting response on, but at the end of the day I literally have two units right in front of me and they are almost completely identical. Mine is actually bit better than my partner’s, so I already have something to lose :O
I didn’t notice the issue for a long time because it requires a set of conditions before it appears. So I believe many people just haven’t picked up on their panels unique handling of dark images yet.
I would be interested in comparing our panels again in a other context, as yours and that other commenters seem to be on some other level of grain. I’d like to just eliminate phone camera crappyness or lighting that’s affecting the comparison, and find a game / image we have in common. It’s just hard to do with Steamui and all the opacity layers and built-in colour bleed lol, probably easier to do on KDE.
I agree that QC seems like a sore spot with both manufacturers, it’s nothing new but at the same time I am so beyond sick of panel lotteries in monitors, TV screens, gaming devices, mobiles… I get that I’m giving off old man shouts at clouds energy here but it’s so exhausting.
It’s hard for me to say if there is any “grain” to my UI or if it’s just how the UI is (like, it has colour banding on the UI that isn’t a result of the screen, just weird transparency effects, it appears on my IPS monitor as well)
With my eyes about 3x closer than I would comfortably view the screen, I detect a slight grain on a level that almost smaller than a pixel - not sure if this is the UI itself, the OLED pixels struggling, or even just the matte coating on the screen!
Idk why people are downvoting you just for sharing your experience, and even with evidence at that. Not cool!
With that said, what the fuck is going on there, man?
Now, I don’t own Inside, and the demo doesn’t want to launch on deck even via protonGE, so it’s hard for me to compare directly.
But, I did take some comparisons from the trailer on the store page, I mean, it’s certainly no beautiful BOE uniformity, but to my eye, it’s not even close to as bad as your comparisons? 🤔
(I tested on Limbo as well, but that game has a flickery effect going on that makes it bad for testing this kinda thing)
Mine has had a couple of crashes and bugs with software, and so has my girlfriend’s, but seems fine from a hardware perspective
I’ve received mine in the UK
Well, when most people bought it, the listing itself showed delivery times as 3-5 business days, so expecting it by the following Wednesday is pretty reasonable. Blame Valve for misrepresenting it.
UK, bought 1TB OLED 19 mins after launch, then got another 512 3 hours later due to my partner getting jealous. Her Deck has shipped (10:30am), mine is still “Packaged”
Looks like 1TB models are taking longer maybe?
Stop, stop, LCD users are already dead!
Yeah many LCDs straight up cannot handle the old fashioned 1hz flicker from NES games etc. It fucks em up for 5-10 mins. The switch screen is one of them.
I have an LG monitor that is soooo bad for pixel inversion / image retention I personally can’t play any game with a millisecond digit on an on-screen timer, Sonic games like Generations and Adventure 2 are some examples. I had to mod the sprite sheets in paint.net to remove the timer sprites lmao
I can’t even play L4D2 because the muzzle flash causes it to the entire middle of my monitor :O
(27UK650 if anyone is wondering, and its an issue that worsens with monitor age. It also has the worst temporary image retention on any screen ice ever seen, it literally takes seconds to form minor burn-in.)
immediately sold out upon page refresh
Tbh, I don’t see how any of the current displays can be free from it entirely, since it shifts about depending on display hz. Just seems to vary in how strong it appears and what range of brightness it appears at. None of the games I played for the first few days had any visible mura at all, but since then I’ve tried a few which really suffer from it.
