Do we know who's the supplier of the OLED panel? Samnang? LG? BOE?

Last I heard, it's the same supplier as the Switch OLED; that's why it uses MIPI over eDP. Samsung is the manufacturer I think

That's what I've heard too. And yeah, Samsung makes the Switch's panel according to iFixit's teardown.

Ultra-bright means higher burn-in risk, or am I wrong on this one? Edit: thanks for clarifying

Burn-in on OLEDs is really just uneven wear. I don’t think it really matters how bright they get for that, unless panel heat is an issue at higher brightnesses.

Fortunately in case of Steam Deck it's possible to replace screen in case this become a problem in a couple of years and new parts wont cost like a new device.

Gorgeous! It's a shame that CGI is so prevalent, because without context I would totally assume this was CGI. Some of the shots would fit right in with a Portal cutscene.

Imagine playing on the one in the center of the orb. It's the ultimate Steam Deck gaming throne.

Only if you drive the display at the top end. If you end up driving in the middle, it helps prevent burn in

> By counting the time each subpixel is displayed and at what brightness, a "wear level" can be determined for each pixel, using an algorithm to estimate the luminance degradation this can be compensated for. However, to do this, you must have some spare luminance headroom that gets utilized as the display gets older. Or alternatively, if the display unlocks full maximum luminance when new without saving any headroom, the algorithm would dim the other pixels over time to bring them down to the level of the burned-in pixels, so the peak luminance of the display would diminish over time as the burn-in occurs.

I hope replacement is easier than with the OG Steam Deck because to replace the screen you have to completely disassemble the device, heat to unglue the screen...
