Seeing others say their OLED decks, more commonly the LE ones, have a dead pixel made me check my LE deck for one and sure enough I got a dead pixel. If I never checked I probably never would notice it in regular gameplay. Now all I do is fixate on that dead pixel now. I’m really contemplating whether this warrants setting up an RMA when everything else is fine with the deck.

i just checked mine and i can confirm i need to clean my screen more often.
Imagine buying a brand new iPhone or Galaxy and being told by others here that it’s not a big deal, who cares that your expensive item is marred with something no other major device manufacturer would put up with.
Dead pixel, even if only 1… return that sh1t unless you hate money and love mediocracy.
FWIW, my 512GB OLED Deck arrived and seems flaweless for the most part. There’s a slight clicking when pressing down on the dpad that doesn’t exist when pressing left, right, or up but everything else (so far) seems 100%. No Dead Pixels (didn’t think there would be any since it’s using a Samsung display), and downloaded about 430GB worth of content to really test it out tonight.
LE model as suspected couldn’t be cancelled and is also on the way. If I can catch the delivery driver I’m supposed to tell him to return to sender, else I have to get an RMA number and all that stuff to send back the inferior model. I wonder if new LE batchess will use the Samsung display (hopefully).
I also have two dead pixels I didn’t notice until I did the check.
Sorry to hear that. Just got my Oled LE and have 1 dead pixel as well . . About to start RMA. How long did it take for Valve to refund you?
After about a week of use I didn’t notice any pixels that looked wrong. Unfortunately I caved and did a pixel test after seeing so many reports and found one dead pixel on my oled. Debating if I should RMA or not tho.
I would while it’s still a bit early
Yesterday here was a big post discussion where people shared their dead pixel numbers on LE. It was deleted overnight 🤔 Why?
Because the LE is really the “Loser” Edition. Can’t have the truth about the LE build quality and screen issues take away from potential sales. Valve doesn’t want to sell the 512GB OLED models, they want to sell the 1TB units as the have more mark up.
You have to remember Reddit is really a market driven company. Any major subreddit like this will be monitored by Valve staff (or wannabe staff) and will gleefully remove anything that paints them in a negative light. THis happened to the Legion Go subreddit as well. Same type of BS mods there to protect the corporation rather than the consumer.
It’s so tempting to check but I definitely played for ~12 hrs yesterday happy as a clam.
You are lucky. I checked and ONE dead pixel. Driving me insane now.
