After browsing https://hardware.watch/c/steamdeck (which is a mirror from Reddit) it seems like a a lot of people had dead pixels with the LE deck which may be why they stopped orders on it :(

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

I don't see why it would be specific to the LE version..?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Apparently they were using a different manufacturer for the screen for a portion of the LE Steam Decks.

The LE steam decks are shipping with a screen manufactured by BOE.

Mine just arrived and indeed has 3 dead subpixels (2 blue, 1 green)

Even the zipper pulls are translucent.

Pour one out for the limited edition 😥

Good! Means they'll hopefully introduce more colors in the future.

I got the standard edition, but I would have definitely bought it if it was available in my country. 🥲
