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.

    This reminds me of when they quietly downgraded Phison x4 NVMes to slower x2 models. I was fortune enough to win that lottery. Looks like I got unlucky this time, with the 04 BOE panel on a Limited Edition. While I don’t have any dead pixels currently, I’m not sure if I should have faith that no dead pixels will develop over time. How reliable is this manufacturer? I’ve never heard of them until now. BTW is everyone else getting the same horrible static buzzing noise, using 3.5mm headphones?

    1tb Sammy OLED, no dead pixels.

    Only device I ever found dead pixels on was my PSP, back in prehistoric times. Bugged the hell out of me at first, but then I got over it.

    Is there anyway to check? Would hate to open and return. I have the LE too, but kind of want the 512 with glossy screen after weighing my options some more.
