Seeing others say their OLED decks, more commonly the LE ones, have a dead pixel made me check my LE deck for one and sure enough I got a dead pixel. If I never checked I probably never would notice it in regular gameplay. Now all I do is fixate on that dead pixel now. I’m really contemplating whether this warrants setting up an RMA when everything else is fine with the deck.

I got my oled 512 yesterday. I’m afraid to check
You know what they say. “When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back.”
I agree, I saw a post about backlight bleeding a couple of months ago and I cannot stop fixating on it, albeit, before I didnt even notice it
My LCD is so bad I noticed it since first boot but it doesn’t effect actually using it so oh well
Yea that’s one of the things that drives me crazy now. Part of why I love OLEDS so much, they don’t have that issue at all
I should be getting standard 512GB OLED today, better not have no fuckin dead pixel. I think they have the Samsung panel from what I’ve seen on this sub, so my chances are good. But imagine if Valve is having manufacturing issues and has to essentially toss out a ton of systems. Yikes.
Absolutely return it, it shoud have 0 dead pixels.
Where does valve explicitly say this?
It’s so tempting to check but I definitely played for ~12 hrs yesterday happy as a clam.
Don’t check.
How do you confirm dead pixels ?
I would RMA it but I still have my LCD deck as a spare.
Too many issues with the new OLED model. Glad I’ve held off.
Schrodinger’s box.
Valve is a million dollar corporation. Please exchange it
billion
I think if it bothers you and you can exchange it then you should.
It’s hard to understand that people are defending dead pixels and telling others to “just enjoy it”. Makes no sense. Why accept a subpar product after spending $600+
I would be expecting zero dead pixels. The OLED screen is the signature feature of the product so it better be perfect.
Don’t feel bad about returning it, Valve can afford it.
dead pixels are defective screens! do not settle for that shit, send it back or it will taunt you for life using your device and kills resale value
On an 800p screen, a dead pixel is very hard not to notice.
