I’m gonna get downvoted to oblivion for this…
I just got my new OLED and weirdly enough, upon booting it I saw something that I didn’t even think of till now. With the new OLED, the sub-pixel arrangement is slightly different than the LCD, and it’s causing white edge (specially on text) to have this green/magenta fringing. It’s extremely faint, and it’s not particular to the Steam Deck since I know of other OLED panels that have the same fringing. However I have heard zero mention of this and I have to say that although this matters close to nothing while playing videogames, it’s something I do see with subtitles.
With this out of the way, the screen looks amazing and I’m more than ready to sell and replace my LCD deck now. I hope the technology gets there where this isn’t an issue anymore!
Maybe I’m a luddite but can you explain in more detail what I should be noticing? The colors in the second picture look less white but I otherwise don’t understand what’s wrong.
Do you have an example of what you’re seeing that isn’t so zoomed in on individual pixels?
yeah someome in the comments posted a pic of what this looks like on other screens, when it’s more noticeable: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/s/aCS7wPe7rl
If you look on the microscope pics, the left edges have a greener edge whereas the right edges have a more reddish/magenta fringe
