Okay friends, let’s check who has a Samsung OLED panel, and who has the BOE OLED panel inside his Deck.

Steps to check:

  1. Go to Desktop mode

  2. Open Konsole

  3. 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.

    I remember when LCD monitors were new… for quite some time most manufacturers had a policy that if you had fewer than 7-10 dead pixels or whatever then it was fine. These were on lower resolution/ppi screens where they would have been more visible too.

    If everything is working well and you haven’t noticed anything, I would suggest not looking for a single subpixel that is not turning on or something and then demanding RMA, because for all you know there will be a different issue with something else.
