I love the look of the LE, but I have been hearing a lot of issues are cropping up such as the dead pixels. Are those issues for all OLED models or just the LE specifically? I’m not sure which one to get, thank you.
My LE is perfect, no dead pixels, every button works as it should and no stick drift. Love the device,
depends if you are willing to play the lottery.
I love the orange (it’s more orange than red) highlights on the Limited Edition. And the orange screws are easier to find when dropped, which is a nice accidental bonus. Another accidental bonus that I like but some don’t: the top LED is visible from the front through the transparent case. The case art is a nice little thing too (and it’s definitely a little thing, not a big thing). I would go for the Limited, it’s worth the extra $30. And I don’t have any dead pixels on mine.
All OLED panels, not only steam decks are susceptible to dead pixels, but boe seems to be more common. All OLED models have an issue or two, so it’s a gamble nonetheless like LCD was pretty much until Q4. Headphone jack with static sound, mushy dpads and buttons, track pad issues, etc. I got the LE and got lucky with everything else but the headphone jack (it’s a common issue on regular OLEDs too). I am a fan of transparent tech and I thought getting an LE was worth not having to swap it myself like I had to with my LCD. There’s no wrong answer, so follow your heart
I picked up the LE. just because it was available, and it was a gift for myself.
If it was not available, i would have just gotten the other one.
