I’m gonna get downvoted to oblivion for this…
I just got my new OLED and weirdly enough, upon booting it I saw something that I didn’t even think of till now. With the new OLED, the sub-pixel arrangement is slightly different than the LCD, and it’s causing white edge (specially on text) to have this green/magenta fringing. It’s extremely faint, and it’s not particular to the Steam Deck since I know of other OLED panels that have the same fringing. However I have heard zero mention of this and I have to say that although this matters close to nothing while playing videogames, it’s something I do see with subtitles.
With this out of the way, the screen looks amazing and I’m more than ready to sell and replace my LCD deck now. I hope the technology gets there where this isn’t an issue anymore!
What model OLED do you have? The limited edition models have an OLED panel from BOE while the others have an OLED panel from Samsung. This has resulted in slight differences between those models.
While there are reports from some about dead pixels on the BOE panels and not on the Samsung panels, there seem to be reports of a greenish tint under certain conditions that I believe are from the Samsung panels.
Not sure if that’s related to this or if the BOE panel also suffers from the greenish tint, but it would be neat to see a close-up shot like this comparing the two OLED panels.
Mine is samsung. it does gave a greenish tint but it’s most likely unrelated to this, I’d think. That one doesn’t really bother me at all because it’s only noticeable when compared to the LCD colors, and I still prefer the more vibrant OLED ones. would be nice to have a BOE panel to compare and take another picture, yeah
