I know the XDA is comparatively knew, but has anyone had problems with screen burn on LCD's ? - I've seen a Dell Axim with the "New" letters seemingly burned onto the screen, which I thought wasn't possible with LCDs.. ?
I'm afraid it is possible with some LCDs. My Dell laptop had a Samsung 1980x1200 screen and a ghostly taskbar haunted the bottom of the screen all the time...
It had to be replaced with a Sharp screen. I've got my fingers crossed that the Exec is okay since mine's just been dispatched!

I've noticed this evening that my XDA mini s has developed what appear to be 3 small 'lines' on the LCD (not on the top of the screen), about the size of the tip of my stylus, on the left hand side of the screen, more or less in line with the left hand speaker grill. They appear lighter than the rest of the LCD.
They aren't really noticeable until viewed on a plain dark background, but I'm sure they weren't there on day one....
Anyone else had this problem?

Sounds like a warranty issue ...
At the moment, they are bearable - after all, it's not going to remain pristine....

Burnt in images?
I've taken a closer look....
It appears that what I can see - very faintly, are burnt in images of the today screen Icons.....
WTF - on a two week old LCD?

These devices aren't hand-made. When the production robots are on bad mood you get fault device that's why companies offer warranty in the first place.
But is it possible to burn-in these screens? Anyone know about this?

Is your ipaq 612c display raised higher than the rest portion of the screen? The centre of the display requires more power to register stylus taps.
I also have a dead pixel on the screen.
Does this warrant a replacement?
TIA

Hi,
Maybe the screen-tap issue gets you a replacement, but the death pixel certainly not
Dirk
I think it should dirlan. I mean i just bought it, boot it up, and there it is, bloody dead pixel...
Anyway got my replacement. On the new one the centre screen is still slightly raised. But never mind i just have to deal with the fact that screen displays technology is not one of hp' forte...
I bought a second-hand HD2 off eBay which to all intents and purposes is in excellent condition, however it has lighter blotch where the backlight is brighter than the rest of the display. This is very clear on white backgrounds and I find it quite annoying.
Tomorrow I am getting the HD2 picked up for a (hopefully) warranty repair; I was hoping for some feedback from the good people on here as to their experience with the phone as I have FIVE friends with HD2s, ALL of whom have a lighter blotch on their display, some worse than others.
This makes me think that it CAN'T be an incredibly rare phenomenon for this device.
I have owned a number of capacitive screened devices and have never seen this on any other handset. Even battered up old iPhone 2gs don't seem to have this problem.
I'm a bit concerned about the screen developing a spot again; I'm also concerned that HTC will try to charge me for the repair....
Anyone got any stories to tell about their screens developing blotchy patches and how HTC responded? And has anyone owned a HD2 since launch that STILL has a perfect screen?
Just be interested to know
Mine has 3 spots showing when on a white back ground but I choose to ignore them. Also sometime my whole screen goes white like a negative photo but I just reboot and the screen goes back to how it should.
I have them since i dropped it and the top corner of my screen got damaged. my gf does not have them at all!
No problems with screen here...purchased dec '09
I contacted HTC (I purchased my phone off ebay) been told it's still under warranty they are collecting tomorrow and said it would be 10 days until I get my repair back
I don't have this problem, but i always keep it in the leather condom when not using it. I did have the negative looking screen once but that never happened again. I think as long as you are gentle with it after it's repaired then it shouldn't happen again.

A picture of the screen would really help...
Had that problem with my first HD2(bought it the first day it was available at expansys). I sent it on warranty and they have replaced few things(including mainboard, lcd and touchscreen).
I have a new one as well and this problem is not present.
So I just got my i9505 yesterday, and I noticed there are some faint vertical and horizontal "streaks" on the screen that are most apparent when displaying grey. It's pretty subtle, but it's definitely there. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone know what it is or if it's normal?

Hey! This kind of issue has been happening to lots of S4 users. Including me. I got my i9505 three days ago and as soon as I started using it I realized that wasn't normal, for I have already had plenty of Samsung smartphones such as S3, S2, Note II, I. I have researched and tried to understand what the hell is going on but some people say it is a software problem. Others say Sammy could be using "a cheaper display". Although in this case we're talking about full hd displays.
Hope I have helped.
Bye.
I have this issue too.
the vertical ones aren't very noticeable but I have 2 very obvious horizontal streaks through my screen about 3mm thick, splitting the screen into thirds quite perfectly.
I have replaced one handset already for this reason and my replacement is the same, just less obvious, so I decided to put up with it.
Here's an example of my screen on grey background.

mine had one streak horizontal streak slightly above half way. but also this seem to make the top half of the screen slightly blue. The top of the phone had different colors to the bottom. its very noticable.
took mine back.
I have this issue too....... 2 horizontal streaks......
Hi,
Dropping my phone was the worst thing that could happen with my phone.
I found someone who would do the screen replacement and after nearly two months he finally returned the phone two me.
At first glance it seemed ok but closer inspection have shown me that:
- the panel used was JDI instead of LGD so a japanese panel instead of the 'original' LG
- serious screen bleed contouring the whole screen
- highlights on the screen, points in the screen where I can clearly see the backlight being brighter than everywhere else
- luminosity is lower than the original.
The last two points are very annoying. I compared my phone with a phone displayed in a shop and I see that the screen on the shop's phone is brighter that mine, even without adaptive brightness and @ 100% luminosity.
Could this be due to different panel manufacturer (JDI instead of LGD)?
The screen bleed could be due to the screen being badly glued but I am not sure...
But the bright speckels are annoying also. In bright areas this is very much noticable, a white picture shows two small areas brighter which indicates to me that the back of the panel has something behind that 'pushes', hard to explain.
Anybody had similar issues or had his screen repaired?
You can see my issues in the attached screenshots...

I don't think your issues is the panel type, i replaced mine and got a JDI from eBay. I don't notice any difference from my old one, which was not JDI. I would say you just got a poor screen. Not the fault of the installer either, i would try to get hold of the screen seller, or just accept the loss and replace it again.

I can agree that the panel type is not the culprit but the screen bleed is definitely the installers fault.
I am not very happy replacing it again as the total cost would mean that I could have bought a new phone for the same price...
My feeling is that the seller of the screen has delivered a used screen and damaged the silver back of the panel by removing it from the old device (the bright highlights could be from a prying tool used while recuperating the screen.). Too bad , lesson learned = do not drop the phone as the screen shatters very easily and when repairing, find a reliable repairsman...
Accept the loss seems to be the only option in this case...
Maybe I will have to disassemble/assemble the phone myself and do with with extra love and care and sense of detail....

Since the digitizer comes glued to the glass I'm more inclined to blame the screen/seller than the installer. But you know the saying... "If you want it done right...". All the best on getting it sorted and working properly.
