Pixel died after a day of usage

We can hope. It’s hard to say. When I RMA’d my Index controllers, they got to Valves RMA place in 2 days according to UPS.

Then it took them roughly 3 weeks to send me a replacement.

Dropped mine off today. Hoping I get one back before Christmas.

Yep. My Steam Account is 20 years old. I can still play every game I’ve purchased in the last 20 years without needing to rebuy it.

Dude, the screen on the SD has been shit since launch. Increasing saturation via digital vibrance is a placebo effect in looking good - it’s not color accurate at all. It’s got like 60-70% SRGB coverage, account for variation, which is really, really bad when the SD was released and especially now. The new OLED model has like 121% SRGB coverage, literally over double, and can hit 1000 nits peak brightness in HDR, over 2x the brightness. in SDR, it is 50% brighter.

It’s display latency is also 0.1ms vs like 7ms, which is significant in terms of motion clarity.

No software update is gonna change all that.
