  • After reviewing various posts, I’ve decided to opt for the 1TB OLED version instead of the Limited Edition (LE). A plausible reason for the LE version featuring a less expensive BOE panel could be Valve’s initial procurement strategy. Perhaps Valve originally ordered from BOE but later discovered a higher than anticipated defect rate. To utilize the existing stock of BOE’s OLED panels, the LE was launched exclusively in Canada and the USA. For all other models, it seems they might switch to Samsung’s OLED panels. This switch might indicate that Valve perceives a difference in quality, as it wouldn’t make sense to incur higher costs for the standard version otherwise. There’s also the lawsuit filed by Samsung against BOE, which aimed to prevent BOE from fulfilling Valve’s order. This situation suggests that Valve might be using the limited version to honor their contract with BOE before transitioning exclusively to Samsung panels.
