I’d suggest an external monitor like a 16" 144hz 2560x1600 to keep the same 16:10 aspect ratio between the Deck and the external monitor. Add some 4" Edifier bookshelf speakers and a good docking station and you’ll be good to go.

Sounds like your USB-C port is loose.

FWIW, my 512GB OLED Deck arrived and seems flaweless for the most part. There’s a slight clicking when pressing down on the dpad that doesn’t exist when pressing left, right, or up but everything else (so far) seems 100%. No Dead Pixels (didn’t think there would be any since it’s using a Samsung display), and downloaded about 430GB worth of content to really test it out tonight.

LE model as suspected couldn’t be cancelled and is also on the way. If I can catch the delivery driver I’m supposed to tell him to return to sender, else I have to get an RMA number and all that stuff to send back the inferior model. I wonder if new LE batchess will use the Samsung display (hopefully).

Imagine buying a brand new iPhone or Galaxy and being told by others here that it’s not a big deal, who cares that your expensive item is marred with something no other major device manufacturer would put up with.

Dead pixel, even if only 1… return that sh1t unless you hate money and love mediocracy.

Because the LE is really the “Loser” Edition. Can’t have the truth about the LE build quality and screen issues take away from potential sales. Valve doesn’t want to sell the 512GB OLED models, they want to sell the 1TB units as the have more mark up.

You have to remember Reddit is really a market driven company. Any major subreddit like this will be monitored by Valve staff (or wannabe staff) and will gleefully remove anything that paints them in a negative light. THis happened to the Legion Go subreddit as well. Same type of BS mods there to protect the corporation rather than the consumer.
