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.
Same! I just got my LE OLED today and loving it so far. Gave my LCD to my fiancé.
Yup mine is the same, just wanted to reply and say this so folks scrolling know that they aren’t all defective lol2
A lot of the negativity gets highlighted because most people that have a perfect device don’t post about it. I’m glad yours is perfect too! I also dodged that bullet and my LE is pure perfection
My LE is perfect too!
Mine is perfect, too! No issues here; absolutely loving it. Far more than my Legion Go and ROG Ally.
What is the use case for having a Steam Deck AND a Legion Go AND an ROG Ally?
I don’t get it either, but some people have the money to burn and like collecting these things. I buy things for their usefulness, usually. Having three expensive things that do basically the same thing doesn’t make sense to me, but it’s his money so…
I’m fine here too with pixels. Those vents look and smell real good too.
Same here. 100% satisfied with mine.
same
My oLEd is perfect. Every buttons, the screen. 100% happy with it
Same, I just sat at the dealership and wore the deck in to test for dead pixels for sometime now and still hasn’t shown up played a game for like 3-4hours and nothing.
Not necessarily so for a dead pixel though
Also rocking a BOE LE and it’s been perfect.
Returned my BOE for a Samsung 512GB and wow are the colors much better and brighter!
Same, but for my 512 OLED! Really love the blackout style colors on the inputs. ABXY, shoulders, start/select/steam/… all feel way better to press as well than on my original LCD. Everything is just so solid and snappy.
Came for screen and battery. Got premium build quality as a surprise bonus
Canadian here, my LE arrives tomorrow and obviously praying for no dead pixels. Personally, I’ve never had to RMA any hardware in my life before. I’m usually the one reading about other people’s problems than running into my own. So I’m trying to be optimistic that the dead pixel issue isn’t as wide spread as this sub makes it sound. I’d actually be curious to see a poll result here for those that have dead pixels vs those that don’t.
If it makes you feel any better my only experience with valve has been super positive. I had to rma one of the base stations for the index and they sent me a new one before I had even shipped the broken one back
They aren’t doing that for the LE though, and now it is out of stock…
I’ve done an RMA with Valve before and other than the length of time (somewhere between 2-3 weeks for me in the US) the whole process was super simple and streamlined. Get label, drop it off, wait.
But odds are you will be fine. Definitely take a close look when you first unbox/setup but I’m hopeful you won’t have any issues.
Same, mines fine
