I’ve made it a top-level question to avoid spamming the comments: https://old.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/182w6un/le_owners_hows_pwm_compared_to_the_lcd_deck/?
Apparently, this is what it looks like in-game with the non-limited OLED version. Of course it also depends on the phone cam.
I assume that it’s the same in the main UI, although the flicker is usually more noticeable when the screen shows bright content. So anything that isn’t a particularly dark game should do the trick.
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.
Maybe. For people who’d like to avoid screens with low-frequency PWM dimming, there’s a possibility that the BOE screen is better (or worse!) than Samsung’s. Can someone please point their phone’s slo-mo cam at the LE version to see if there is visible flicker?
As someone who bought a 512GB for wild multi-booting dreams that never happened, I wish I went with 64GB. It’s so easy to load a hundred indie games on the Steam Deck and then get caught in decision paralysis/bargain hunting every night. So much for working down my backlog…
