Am I the only one who got an LE with no dead pixels or something? So many comments talking about how LEs “more than likely have defects”. Wtf are you basing that on? The handful of posts on reddit?
I just checked mine and I have 3 dead green pixels. Almost in a perfect diagonal from the top left, middle, and bottom right of the screen.
Were the BOE displays only on the LE model?
Given all the reported problems with the Boe panels, sounds like Samsung’s lawsuit would do the community a service
The real limited edition are the shitty BOE panels we received!
Funny how the article phrases it as orders being stolen from Samsung as if they have the sole right to supply screens to Valve. And repeatedly mentioning that BOE is Chinese but never mentioning that Samsung is Korean, why does only one of them matter? It’s not like either of them is based in the US where the lawsuit is actually happening.
The website definitely has a heavy bias lmao. But it’s the first one I found reporting on the lawsuit.
South Korean Tech and Chinese Tech industries have vastly different morals and quality control. The Chinese pretty much stole the OLED technology, as they do in many fields. They don’t believe in intellectual property.
There are people in the West who don’t believe in intellectual property. Hell, this subreddit is full of people who emulate older games and technically disregard intellectual property, me included. There are big companies training AI models on data they don’t own, working in a grey area regarding intellectual property. And I bet if South Korea didn’t prosecute for theft like that (you’re right that it is theft, not arguing that btw), then Samsung would do the same. It’s just good for business to take every advantage they can, up to and including theft if permitted.
While it’s theft, there are so many shady things done by companies, from unfair competition all the way to use of slavery (in countries like China, yes, but also paid for by Western companies sadly), that I just plain don’t care that much about intellectual property rights. Maybe I should…
Does the 512gb oled have the Samsung screen? Because that’s the version I ordered.
