The Steam Deck OLED spot ad was made with Steam Deck OLEDs
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoDo we know who's the supplier of the OLED panel? Samnang? LG? BOE?
- PrivateButts 3y agoLast 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
- Hamuko 3y agoThat's what I've heard too. And yeah, Samsung makes the Switch's panel according to iFixit's teardown. https://www.ifixit.com/News/53272/nintendo-switch-oled-teardown-more-than-screen-deep https://www.ifixit.com/News/53272/nintendo-switch-oled-teard...
- pests 3y ago(GP)> "same supplier as the Switch OLED" > That's what I've heard too Is any of this confirmed or just rumor from the LTT video?
- smileybarry 3y agoThe other comment chain (2 levels above but in the same first-level thread) links to this tweet with a code screenshot that seems to confirm it: https://twitter.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/1722759238806643169/photo/2 https://twitter.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/17227592388066431... if ((vendor_product->product == GALILEO_SDC_PID) || (vendor_product->product == GELILEO_BOE_PID)) { // ... I'm assuming SDC ("GALILEO_SDC_PID") is Samsung Display [Corp?] (a search seems to confirm that's their acronym).
- Philpax 3y agoSamsung, but BOE may be dual-supplying it: https://twitter.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/1722759238806643169 https://twitter.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/17227592388066431...
- pawelduda 3y agoUltra-bright means higher burn-in risk, or am I wrong on this one? Edit: thanks for clarifying
- lukevp 3y agoBurn-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.
- jdiff 3y agoHigher brightness leads to faster wear. If the wear is uneven, this leads to faster burn at higher brightness.
- bitwize 3y agoBurn-in on CRTs was just uneven wear, too, but still a pain in the ass.
- macNchz 3y agoI remember encountering CRTs burnt in so badly it was hard to read stuff in the worst areas (e.g. the taskbar clock or login prompt) but I haven’t encountered anything remotely close to that with current OLEDs. My iPhone and TV have no signs at all, and the last device I used that had legitimately easy-to-detect burn in was a Nexus One test device that sat on my desk with the screen on all day every day while I built an Android app in 2012.
- SXX 3y agoFortunately 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.
- eloisant 3y agoI 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... https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+Screen+Replacement/148986 https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+Screen+Replacement/1...
- bigyikes 3y agoGorgeous! 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.
- pdpi 3y ago> Some of the shots would fit right in with a Portal cutscene. The music really helps sell that idea.

- quasarj 3y agoDamn, no call out to DeckMate by name in the thread? Sad
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- jw_cook 3y agoI assume that's what "some Steam Deck clips made by an accessory designer on Reddit" is referring to? Going back and watching the video again, yeah, it definitely looks like Deckmate grips holding all the decks to the orb frame.
- JCharante 3y agoThis is awesome. Video production just takes so many hours for each second and I don't think people know how much work it takes until you help out on a shoot.
- iamflimflam1 3y agoI do a lot of YouTubing and the consensus is that every minute of video takes at least 1 hour of work - and this is just amateurs messing around.
- ancientworldnow 3y agoIn the pro world it's common for one person to spend hours on seconds, multiplied over dozens of people working on those same seconds.
- Satam 3y agoIt's why AI-generated movie shots would make a lot of sense. Hollywood spends billions of dollars, builds and blows up elaborate sets, and hires 100,000s of thousands of people... just to be able to have pixels move in a pleasing way. How much of that will be cut out when we just go straight to generating pixels? CGI goes in that general direction but it's still very labor intensive.

- gumballindie 3y agoI am continuously amazed at how awesome valve is and what awesome products it makes. Also steam supporting linux single handedly advanced adoption of that os. Apparently the best types of companies are those founded by deeply technical people, still owned and run by them, no venture capital. In an ideal world we would favour such companies over toxic ones.
- charcircuit 3y ago>Also steam supporting linux single handedly advanced adoption of that os. Android using Linux is what single handily advanced the adoption of Linux among consumers.
- wiseowise 3y agoNot as a desktop.
- redundantly 3y agoSaying Android is Linux is like saying macOS is BSD.
- rstat1 3y agoNo it isn't. Android is as much a Linux distro as any other.
- eptcyka 3y agoAndroid is a Linux distribution unlike any other. They use a completely different framework for drivers for hardware, they have their own patches for binder and other things that see no use outside of Android and will never get upstreamed. They have their own libc which is not used in any other distro. Very little of the work that has been done to make Linux work better on Androids has benefited the rest of the Linux ecosystem. Even the WiFi/Bluetooth drivers, which is a massive shame.

- extraduder_ire 3y agoI love how each of the decks being a proper computer made this much easier to pull off. Like, driving a display in a dummy device would probably get you the same effect, and take longer. But that's likely the route a third-party production company would take.
- tomcam 3y agoWhen I see things like that I always think about their lifecycle. The frame will be stripped of the devices for another display. It'll still hang around in some honored spot, then they'll get new staff and it will be shunted into storage. In 3 years it will be disassembled and tossed into the dumpster because no one will have room for it at home.
- idontknowifican 3y agois there something inherently bad in this? do you feel something is lost?
- tomcam 3y agoI do feel a twinge sometimes. I tend to get a bit too sentimental about artifacts.
- throwaway-432 3y agoI work for a company which has made a huge satellite constellation and after a revision of a hardware component has run its course thousands have made their way to space, incomplete/failing units are shredded, and only a handful are kept. When the satellites eventually burn up in the atmosphere those ~3 builds are all that remain of the entire project, thousands of man-hours to engineer and build hardware that the world will never see. I think about those few survivors a lot.
- ip26 3y agoProps, acts and jigs are always like this. In reality, a small metal structure like this is not really so precious that it need be cherished or repurposed. Metal is very recyclable. It’s function was brief in time, but relatively high in impact.
- karaterobot 3y agoI got pretty excited that it was Jake Rodkin posting this on something with the Idle Thumbs name.
- smusamashah 3y agoOn the note of OLED increasing battery life, does anyone know the max number of hours of gameplay you can get on a single charge when the game is as simple as "snake"? I have searched for answers on reddit and Google etc but I have only found the number to be 8hrs which is not for low power games. Given steam runs Linux and is hacker friendly, one should be able to juice it for much much longer if only early retro games are played.
- chucky_z 3y ago8hr sounds accurate. There’s a wattage slider and you can only set it so low. You might be able to get more out of using the desktop and forcing some idle modes, however it’s impressive enough as is at a few watts and many hours on a portable Linux machine occupying less total space than a 13” laptop.

- thih9 3y agoPart of me thinks this crazy, the other part wants to see this running doom with 360 vision.
- butz 3y agoSo, how much for the orb and when we can order one?
- deafpolygon 3y agoThis ad brings out the inner kid in me (I'm 44 so, feeling a bit middle-aged here). I so want one badly but can't afford it and there's no way I'd be able to justify the purchase. Sad.
- 3guk 3y agoGreat to see OBS also being used on this one - although I imagine setting up and configuring that many instances of OBS must have been a bit of a pain.
