Okay friends, let’s check who has a Samsung OLED panel, and who has the BOE OLED panel inside his Deck.

Steps to check:

  1. Go to Desktop mode

  2. Open Konsole

  3. Paste the following command into the terminal:

cat /sys/class/drm/card0-eDP-1/edid | hexdump -C

You will get the output like in this screenshot:

The marked number is relevant and means the following:

01: 800x1280 @59.998545 (BOE, LCD)

02: No longer present

03: 800x1280 @90.003892 (Samsung, OLED)

04: 800x1280 @90.061454 (BOE, OLED)

So my results are:

Model: Steam Deck 512GB OLED

Panel: Samsung OLED

What’s yours? Please also don’t forget to post the model, so we can analyze if there’s some correlation.

    Picture quality will be the same, and honestly, the people acting like Samsung is inherently the “better” of the two options is hilarious considering Samsung doesn’t exactly have a good track record for OLEDs. Their ghosting on the Galaxy S8 series was atrocious. It’s been quite ironic reading this thread on a Samsung PC monitor with a stuck red pixel on it though. Stuck and/or dead pixels happen to every brand and every type of LED display, and so many people here are overreacting to it big time.
