Hi all, I’ve got an oled vita and it’s screen has the classic dark hole thing going on. Ive found (by googling) that oled screens have a tendency to have dark-ish holes in the screen. Looks something like an ink blot. It’s not very noticeable in most games, but when darkness is shown you can see the ink blot. Aside from that, the metallic silver plastic trim around the sides has chipping type dents. I’d get

Your OLED screen is worked as intended. An OLED will naturally get black dots on it with age. I can see in the last picture your screen still looks great so you have nothing to worry about.

As for the silver chipping my Vita has that too. Just means you love your Vita and use it a lot. I myself got a silicone bumper jacket for my Vita to cover it and now I don't worry about it.
