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!

    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 😭
