Okay friends, let’s check who has a Samsung OLED panel, and who has the BOE OLED panel inside his Deck.
Steps to check:
-
Go to Desktop mode
-
Open Konsole
-
Paste the following command into the terminal:
cat /sys/class/drm/card0-eDP-1/edid | hexdump -C
You will get the output like in this screenshot:
The marked number is relevant and means the following:
01: 800x1280 @59.998545 (BOE, LCD)
02: No longer present
03: 800x1280 @90.003892 (Samsung, OLED)
04: 800x1280 @90.061454 (BOE, OLED)
So my results are:
Model: Steam Deck 512GB OLED
Panel: Samsung OLED
What’s yours? Please also don’t forget to post the model, so we can analyze if there’s some correlation.
Which panel should make me upset?
It looks like so far, there were more dead pixel issues reported with BOE panels, which seem to be more common on the LE Deck.
Fuck me. BOE stole orders from Samsung (who are now suing them) and couldn’t even do the job properly
What’s BOE? Bind on Equip?
best on earth
Besides the dead pixel theory, I am also very curious if there is a difference in the OLED PWM dimming frequency.
Can people with LE also see flicker on the screen (at full or reduced brightness) when using their phone’s slo-mo cam? I know the non-LE flicker is visible from ThePhawx’ video.
Exactly. Spell out for me how and when I should be angry. I will then let the answer define me as a person.
