No dead pixels, no sub pixel weird colorations, just a totally fine normal Steam Deck with a fun color way. If you’re an owner of the LE waiting for it to arrive, freaking out about it because you’re seeing all the issues here, fear not there is a good chance your Deck is going to be fine.

Sorry what’s BOE?
Inferior Chinese company that steals patents from Samsung and isn’t used by Apple because of their lack of QC and display standards.
my LE just fine no issues The majority of the 99.99% who received the Limited Edition (LE) didn’t experience any dead pixels. It’s just that those who did have dead pixels are the ones talking about it here. It gives the impression that there are many cases when, in reality, it’s not the case because everyone who didn’t have issues didn’t come here to discuss it
BOE LE gang, all good here still!
Mine was fine with zero issues. Loving it!
Mine is also fine
Is the dead pixel thing or “weird colorations” or whatever a big thing that laypeople will notice?
You will notice dead pixels, here’s how:
You can open up Firefox (when you hold down power button, go to Desktop, then click Firefox it’ll download after a minute) search ‘dead pixel test’, and click onto it. If there is a dot on the screen that doesn’t come off when you gently use the microfiber cloth (aka check that it isn’t dirt), you will want to go through each screen color.
If a black dot only appears on one of the three colors, which are Red, Green, Blue, it will also show on White, then you have a dead pixel (subpixel, whatever color it shows black on is what type of dead one it is; i.e. black dot on green, nothing on blue or red means you have a dead green subpixel).
OLED displays work by using a red, blue, green subpixel to display colors. White is a mix of all three, black is the absence of them. So on white if green is out you’ll have a reddish brown or purple dot form, on red you’ll have no dot, on blue no dot, but on green there’ll be a dot.
Absolutely not unless it’s dead center of the screen
my only complaint about the screen right now is the fact that text is oddly jagged. other than that, it’s an absolute blast to use!
I have 2 dead pixels but only on green and can hardly notice them anyway. I’m happy with it.
Mine 0 issues
Mine is perfect. I have no issues with it and just the overall feel of the sticks as well as the buttons feel better immensely. I do feel bad for the people that do have issues with theirs, but quit trying to karma farm for your issues and just contacts valve and get it replacement.
Kind of seems like the direction of a lot of hardware subreddits nowadays.
Yeah mine was doing great for the first day too. Then on the second day, one pixel died randomly.
I have a single dead pixel on my LE. But the real issue is my dpad, which gets stuck enough to click and creak whenever I press it. The single pixel wouldn’t be enough for me to return it, but the damn dpad is!
Mods can we have a megathread pls . The sub is mostly filled only with 2 types of posts and it’s getting tired

After having a perfect OG model, I’m hoping my LE turns out the same. This post has given me renewed hope!
Yep got my OLED LE in the mail today. So far so good. Threw a screen protector, some back button grips and back into my DBrand Killswitch from my LCD deck. (Sold LCD to fund the LE)
So funny to see everyone freaking out again like they did with smol shit at the original launch.
