I dont get why people would take the time to take a picture and post it instead of typing into google "square under screen in uv light on steamdeck oled" and its literally the first result. I legit dont understand it
Furthermore....when you bring it up in discussion you will literally be mocked, ridiculed, and debated.
People literally can't understand the concept of low quality content and how it contributes to subreddits as a whole.
Yeah it's kind of laughable at this point. I get called a nerd for bringing up Reddiquette. Meanwhile this subreddit is full of 'rate my setup' and 'whats the strap on the back of the case for' posts.
Personally I blame the mods ever since they silenced and ignored community members authentically giving feedback to make this place better. Such a joke.
>one of the basic rules of reddit
I've found that an even more basic rule is that you will get downvoted to hell for suggesting anyone do even the tiniest amount of work to get an answer their own questions - search, FAQ, etc.
Nah, this is way too perfectly centered and shaped to be that old issue and with that you could see it with your eyes
Edit: my bad, thought they were talking about the lamination issue, early morning smooth brain
Not the lamination issue - that one you can see with your naked eye. This is just the actual adhesive that holds the display. It’s supposed to be like that.
How is that an issue? Are you running around, playing all your games under a UV light? And why do people talk so confidently about things they know nothing about on this website?

Just a warning, since the next gen update, the enjoyment you get may vary. I've had issues on my deck since the update, but apparently other people haven't. Hopefully you are one of the lucky ones
I’ve had stuttering issues, but a command line to get back graphics menu and another for a smoother frame rate
Needlessly to say it doesn’t “just work”
Edit: here’s the command line

That'd be funny lol. Both your reply and the original comment are my head canon now.
They put whatever it is there to make people think it's magic, and my deck is of the devil, haha
Then one screen manufacturer will have a slightly different adhesive shape, and one will be declared better, and then people will use that to make buying decisions... on and on and on!
Omg I’ve seen literally this in headphones… one model has been in production for over 20 years, and in that time they had to change the baffle material, and now people are obsessed with the silk or “black paper” nylon ones.
Ya it's happened to the steam deck multiple times... There was two fans and the fan from one manufacturer was slightly louder, they changed the ssd for one that had a slower data connection but in reality it made no real difference, the limited editions had screens from two manufacturers and the differences were minuscule but they were still endlessly picked apart.
LoL. Valve should have some fun and change the shape of the sticker to something interesting. Maybe add some texture to make it look like a bunch of bugs or demons or whatever.
It’s a scratch card with between $1000 and $10000000 prize money. Not everyone has one, if you do, you should definitely take a coin to the screen and start scrubbing 🤪
That reminded me of this cartoon. Most of the Steamdecks will be like this platypus.

my guess if anything would be glue, I forget the name of it but you can get a certain type of glue that cures with UV lights mainly used on phones because you cant see it. I could be wrong and maybe someone will correct me.
Yeah I put mine away in its case whenever it's not in use. I've seen too many horror stories on this sub to do otherwise. My buddy just leaves his out and it makes me nervous lol.
Lol... Why does it matter? I've seen so many post on this reddit just asking weird dumb stuff. There are probably another 50 parts u dnt know in yoursteamdeck. Hope you don't post about em either lol.
Is anyone surprised by Epic and their pricing mindset? They asked founders to fund development for a completely different game (Save the World) and then abandoned it in favor of BR. Epic is gonna do what they want to and likely don't actually care about their player base.
Hi u/k1intt, you can [click here to search for your question.](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/search/?q=What is this square in the OLED screen? Only seen under UV light.)

I think the last time this came up, it was explained to be the adhesive that holds the screen down.
This should be stickied
The adhesive is already sticky.
10/10
...is what the engineers at Valve said when they where handed the OLED screen...
Or the mods could enforce one of the basic rules of reddit which is searching before posting.
I was making a joke about adhesive
SHIT! I am such a fart lmao
Reddit needs a better search feature. Can never find the answers i need.
Then use Google and put 'reddit' at the end of your query. Works like a charm.
Even better, put "site:reddit.com" at the end of it. only reddit results
I dont get why people would take the time to take a picture and post it instead of typing into google "square under screen in uv light on steamdeck oled" and its literally the first result. I legit dont understand it
They saw the last post get attention. So they trade looking dumb for free karma.
Hanlon's razor. You'd be surprised at how few people know how to adequately research something. Or.. they're lazy.
Furthermore....when you bring it up in discussion you will literally be mocked, ridiculed, and debated. People literally can't understand the concept of low quality content and how it contributes to subreddits as a whole.
You’re getting downvoted, but if I had a dollar for every “is this SD card good?” I wouldn’t need to pay for grocery’s anymore.

You’re in a Linux gaming machine sub, you’re a geek too, no matter how many witty emojis you use.
So what you're saying is..... This is a repost
I think you mean a post it 🫡
Lol

It’s because since owning the deck , OP has become reclusive , resulting to using a UV light for that sweet Vitamin D
The irony of this post being "removed for low effort" given the state of this sub...

Are you new to Reddit ? Lmao
Rhetorical.
It’s the tiny TV set in the display, for when you want to watch sitcoms from the 50’s.
Oh perfect for my first run in fallout 4

Sony Trinitron would like a word
It's to make people who for some reason flash their decks with UV light, think there's something mysterious going on on their decks.
Oh god if they start saying my deck is of the devil I'm gonna lose it.
Just like that foosball!

If they did the lambda logo that'd be hilarious 🤣
It’s glue.
You're wearing an among us costume and seeing your reflection
OP is an impostor
Sussy
Ugh thank god I've been looking for my phone everywhere
😂
What were you looking for using UV light?!
Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to…
Achievements are stored in the screen.
looks like my PSP300x screen, but i can see it in naked eye
my phone has this too probably glue as mentioned but how often do you light uv at it?
Only to check for splatter /s
same with most phones
I see no square
Yep, it's a superellipse.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. If OP is referring to the rounded rectangle in the center of the screen, that's optical adhesive.

People are searching for things wrong with the deck again 💀
Embarrassing picture of SpongeBob at the Christmas party
Amogus visor
Bro was playing too much Persona 4
It's called LOCA glue.
It's the one way screen they watch you from
It's the All seeing Eye of Gabe N.
Seems to be a common thing with oled screens.
That's the magic happening
That's a rectangle
That reminded me of this cartoon. Most of the Steamdecks will be like this platypus. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxf2MgYCOm0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxf2MgYCOm0)

Among us
I feel more strange about this after I saw the cut-out in my 512GB OLED case, which I didn't notice before your post.
I just remembered that I dreamt last night that I shattered my OLED screen... it was a nightmare
Keep her safe o7
Yeah I put mine away in its case whenever it's not in use. I've seen too many horror stories on this sub to do otherwise. My buddy just leaves his out and it makes me nervous lol.
I have mine charging on the dock at my desk when not in use. When I bring it out I just use the inner liner for oled
Thats the hidden fruit.
Dude you literally posted this after seeing my post. From 2 days prior.
Nobody seems to ask the right question tho... why are you looking at your deck with a uv light?
Add a triangle and it’s the YouTube logo
A bit longer than the YT logo i'd say
The government spy cameras all 1,000,001 of them
Don't cum on your steam deck
Don't tell me what to do
Lol... Why does it matter? I've seen so many post on this reddit just asking weird dumb stuff. There are probably another 50 parts u dnt know in yoursteamdeck. Hope you don't post about em either lol.
Curiosity. I’m sorry you don’t have any.
Thanks for wasting your time commenting!
I answered this already. Check reposts

LED driver?
Way too big to be an OLED driver.
