I’m gonna get downvoted to oblivion for this…
I just got my new OLED and weirdly enough, upon booting it I saw something that I didn’t even think of till now. With the new OLED, the sub-pixel arrangement is slightly different than the LCD, and it’s causing white edge (specially on text) to have this green/magenta fringing. It’s extremely faint, and it’s not particular to the Steam Deck since I know of other OLED panels that have the same fringing. However I have heard zero mention of this and I have to say that although this matters close to nothing while playing videogames, it’s something I do see with subtitles.
With this out of the way, the screen looks amazing and I’m more than ready to sell and replace my LCD deck now. I hope the technology gets there where this isn’t an issue anymore!
Honestly I kept hearing the complaints about sub-pixel arrangements in regular oled monitors and was always worried about this productivity wise. Now hearing the steam deck oled has it the same and literally not noticing it at all until reading this subreddit ( LE edition ) I’m probably gonna get an oled monitor now. I thought this issue would be like a 30 fps to 60 fps noticeable difference but it isn’t that at all, I cannot see what the issue is.
Just a heads up, I tried an Oled alienware monitor sometime ago and it was WAY more noticeable there compared to how the steam deck looks
Wait so like a higher resolution causes the effect to be more noticeable? I thought it would be the opposite. I was planning to get the ASUS one that was at 1440p. My eyes just might be bad 😭
