  • The second LE I purchased on my wife’s account also has a dead pixel affecting white/green toward the center of the screen. I might RMA the first one that I got, but honestly thinking about just returning the OLED and sticking with my LCD. Valve said an RMA would be for a new replacement unit not repair or anything. But the chances of a display issue seems very high.

    Or, only the LE suffers from this issue and if I want OLED I should get a regular 1TB and maybe mod it with a transparent shell if I want to at some point.

    I’m not sure how to tell who manufactures the display. I factory reset the device though after realizing it was defective so I can’t easily check the settings. I did also just put in a support request with Valve on my account to see if doing an RMA would be for repair or a new replacement, and if I would still be able to return for refund if any replacement was also defective.

    Got my OLED LE yesterday and it has 3 dead red sub-pixels. These will be noticeable during gameplay. Kind of bummed. Ordered another one on the wife’s account and seeing if I can get a non-defective screen. The main point of the device is the upgraded display. On the other hand, while it isn’t as bright and the colors aren’t as vibrant, my original LCD Deck has no pixel issues at all. Disappointing quality control…
