Sounds like you got a lemon and should have sent it in for repair while you could.

This is why you test your new unit the way it shipped before changing out the SSD. You wind up in a place where you don’t know if it worked and likely never will if it doesn’t work when you inevitably swap it back.
Looks like Valve decided to end it before it was fully cemented as the worst unit to get because of the potential problems with the BOE panel.
They’ll probably just quietly mix them into the production line going forward.
This post’s logic of “people with good experiences don’t post” and posts like it keep ignoring the fact Samsung panel owners are posting just as much but without the problems.
Say yours isn’t bad, fine, but don’t try to handwave away the reality.
Avoid the Limited Edition to avoid the BOE screen that has a greater chance of dead pixels, but it isn’t a guarantee either way.
Already at 20% off. I can wait for the big drops as the Diablo 4 cycle continues and Starfield gets closer to what it’s actually worth.
In the meantime, they can fix as much as they are able without admitting to themselves the parts they broke in the design phase.
I think they’re comparing the number of people with non-LE units saying their Samsung panel is flawless to the number of people with LE units saying their BOE panel has dead pixels.
Just reading the thread, it’s overwhelmingly negative for BOE. This isn’t for lack of non-LE examples, either.
The guy who made it is still figuring out if it’s better to use it or not on the new OLED. I’m not installing it until he does an analysis. If you use a drive with it already installed, you can use the uninstall to ditch it, but it could return the system to factory defaults and only later we realize the factory defaults for 3.5 or just the OLED are different.
To be sure, you could install the new/existing drive and then use the flash img to completely wipe the drive and start fresh.
