I ordered a LE OLED Steam Deck for my husband for Christmas. We are going to be new parents early next year and I wanted to support his transition into fatherhood, while still supporting his love of games and also give him a treat yo’self moment for all the support he had provided me during my pregnancy. For real, he has been a complete gem and I am #blessed.

But, I want to make sure it works okay and there are no pixel issues or anything while I’m in the return window. The deck arrives tomorrow.

Is there anything I need to be aware of or check for specifically? Do I have to login with a steam account to do the check? I don’t want him to miss out on the perks from the buy if I login for the first time with my account. But I also don’t want him to find out early about it by logging into his Steam account.

Thank you, I really appreciate the help! Hoping he loves it.

    Im all for the experience and everything, but id want my wife to check for dead pixels if it was me. Especially considering the specific device you have has been having issues. You cant rma outside of the return period for just a few dead pixels as that isnt considered defective. Experience is already ruined if your stuck with a less than perfect $700 device imo.
