Posted this, but basically two dead pixels. Confirmed that the supplier is BOE. The pixels are stuck on purple/violet and one is on the top left while the other is on the right side. I would have never noticed them if I didn’t check and honestly in normal usage, the pixel density of the screen is high enough (plus my deteriorating vision) that I can’t see it if I’m not trying to find it.
I would have been perfectly ok with proceeding without a RMA but Valve stepped up and proceeded to start the RMA process without any fuss.
Wondering how they will handle this situation though in terms of replacements. I wouldn’t put my money on them replacing each deck with a Samsung display. If it’s a replacement deck, it’s possible to also have a BOE display again with the potential of having even more stuck/dead pixels.
I can confirm with my anecdote.

Hopefully not.
