Light bleed

Are any of you experiencing light bleed like the ASUS Transformers are experiencing?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

I did with a dead pixel... I called Samsung and they will repair it.

But what about light bleed specifically?

Is the Sammy panel edge lit like the asus?

yes.... check out the other threads.. people are reporting them with lots of tablets. The black bleeds yellow.

I just sent back my Transformer, and preordered this tab. The sleep issues and the light bleed are no worth getting that device. I tried to talk to tech support and they told me to take out the battery. that I could turn it over and pop it out like a laptop battery. Then they told me basically that if I didn't charge it for 8 hours it wouldn't work. ASUS Tech support was a nightmare. Samsung was a little slow with updates to my captivate... But I still love em. If this has a little bleed I wouldn't be too worried with it. It's the nature of backlite LED screens. It even happens on high end monitors and TVs. Until they come out with something else... It's going to be an issue. you just have to keep sending it back until you get one that doesn't bother you... that or turn down the brightness. In order to get it to do it you really need to crank up the brightness and walk into a dark room. IMO that's not to practical for normal use.

I didn't see that black /yellow bleed thing. I would like to see that. I would just send it back.

Light bleed usually only visible in the dark with dark screen backgrounds. I saw a review today on YouTube from mobile tech review and when they show some movie clips you can faintly see bleed lower right and right side.

this is what I was asking about

I haven't seen that yet. Where the colors are messed up like that.

Luckily no dead pixels and no light bleed.

my limited edition tab has backlight bleed and a dead pixel, I wonder if I can even get it repaired or not...

Yes you can...search some of the other threads for the io support link.

Bought a retail version at the Union Sq Best Buy here in NYC, one spot on the screen (less than a square inch) would show "liquid" under the screen when depressed (I noticed it when I was wiping my fingerprints from the screen). Exchanged it hoping to get a grey model,but got the white one again.
Well that one had a slight light bleed on the button left corner and was only noticeable when the honeycomb controls disappear.
Today I exchanged it for another one, and it looks like a keeper.

No light bleed or dead pixels, at least none that I can see. Hardwarewise my tab seems perfect.

Model GT-P7510
Mines the new 32g model and I don't notice hardy any bleed at all on the screen... even after carefully examining the edges and trying to view at angle to see under the bezel I don't see anything I would call a bleed issue. Actually also having an Ipad I love screen on the new 10.1

I have both and I have absolutely no bleed and dead pixels on the GT.

same here, no bleed and no dead pixels. I can actually us this as an snooker reader now. the TV and load don't get dark enough. I read with red text on black. even at fu- brightness there is no bleed.

I have light bleed in the bottom right corner. I noticed it right off the bat. I'm exchanging it tomorrow. Let's hope the next one doesn't have the issue!

Yeah, thought mine was perfect, then noticed in the top right corner there is a spot about 1“ square. Didn't notice it until I booted up in a room with dim lighting. I might go exchange it out.

[Q] Any pics of a TF *without* light bleed?

Hey all-
I'm seriously debating returning my TF due to light bleed. After reading all the threads on the subject has anyone come across a pic of a TF101 without light bleed? I really want to compare mine vs. a 'perfect' unit before I send it in for replacement...
For reference my unit is part of the B50 batch from Amazon.com...
Thanks,

I don't think mine has light bleed. But it's really hard to take a picture of one "without" light bleed because you can always set the exposure low enough so that you don't see any light bleed. It's a problem with how to take a standard exposure picture. All the pictures and videos you see have exposure settings / shuttle settings that effect how obvious the light bleed is.
I think it really comes down to just watching a dark movie scene - if you see light bleed, and it's annoying enough, then return it. A picture is difficult to truly see light bleed. You might see relative light bleed, but not absolute light bleed.
I'm about to return mine - the power button is stuck in the depressed position. But, no light bleed.

I don't think mine has any light bleed at all... that, or I am not sure what you guys are referring to as light bleed. Is it around the screen or another part of the bezel?
I'll check mine tonight and see if I notice any light leaking around it.

when talking about light bleed they mean the greyish areas at the ends of the screen. usually only noticable on a all black BG. what people dont know is that Most ips devices have light bleed problems. even iPads. if its not really noticable then dont return it. if its too hig then exchange it but know that the next unit you get will probably still suffer from light bleed. how much is anyones guess though.

My light bleed isn't noticeable
I do have some however on the bottom left edge area
however.....my charger is not working anymore

General consensus on light bleed?

I know I have it a little on mine. Taking a picture of it makes it look worse than it actually is.
Are we all experiencing light bleed, or did some who received their units get a bleed free device?

Very minimal but I don't notice it whatsoever unless I'm specifically looking for it on an all black screen. Some people may have it worse than myself, but I believe a lot of people are exaggerating and/or OCD about the quality of screen light bleed. For me, it doesn't change anything other than it is -the- best screen I have ever used on a tablet.

I don't see any on mine

Maybe I'm lucky, but after thorough analysis I can safely say that my screen doesn't have any light bleed.
My only complaint with the display is the color saturation: I like to use the dimmest screen setting to save battery and my eyesight when using in dimly lit rooms (like right now), but I feel like the colors get washed out when it's at the lowest level. This is fixed when I raise the brightness up to about 5-10%. Perhaps this problem is true for all screens, but compared to my one x, it's more noticeable.

I've got some pretty bad light bleed in the bottom right corner (and a little on the sides as well). It's only really noticeable at high brightness on dark colors (like the black bar in the right corner LOL). I don't find it distracting unless I'm trying to watch a video that has a black letterbox.

does anyone not have light bleed?

Hi. I read a lot of light bleed issues.
Are there any without light bleed?
Is there a poll on this. I am curious about the ratio.
I am getting my nexus 10 today and will not be able to use it till the 25th.
I hope I wont be RMAing it on the 26th...
Thanks joe

I have purchased 3 N10s so far for myself, family member and a friend. All were purchased with 1 week or so gap and all 3 have backlight bleed to varying degree. Unless you have really bad bleed which is discoloured like too yellow, stick with what you have as there is every chance you might get worse piece.
While backlight bleed does not bother you most of the times, yellow one is whole different story.

Agree. My first one was the best, it was a relatively small bleed and it was white. I should have kept it. My 2 other replacements were yellow and that sucks. I am hoping my next replacement will be either no bleed or very small white bleed.

I haven't done a full-on light bleed test in a dark room yet, but I have not noticed any on my N10. So, if I have any on my screen, it's very mild.
I just received my N10 yesterday, so it's possible they've improved more recent ones...

I ordered mine the day it was released and I don't notice any at all either. I have not run a full test on it because if I don't see it (even when trying to find it) under normal usage conditions I do not really care if a test says I have it or not. Screen looks perfect to me so I am not really looking for reasons to not like it.

Would be good if you post on this thread to specify what is your BRIGHTNESS setting (full, auto, %, etc)

I have no light bleed on mine bought day of release.

The same. Fantastic tablet and although some people do seem to genuinely have a defective screen, some people are totally nitpicking and blowing the whole thing out of proportion. If your screen is totally black you're not actually using your tablet for anything so these tests people are running are pretty unrealistic.

I'm sure all LCD displays have light bleed.

Christmas present then I guess? Mine is too but I convinced the wife to allow me to check it was fault-free and set it up with all my apps and settings so it's ready to go on Christmas day!
Whilst she was at work and it was my day off, I had a good 8 hours of fun testing

Completely agree with your comment. Some might have true issues. I can see that mine has a slight bleed on the right side but there will never be a time where I sit in a completely dark room and stare at a black screen. Even at full brightness the slight bleed does not affect the look of my tablet in any way. It's an all around beautiful device!

None i've noticed in normal use but also havent gone searching for it. If the only way you can see the light bleed is when the screen is completely black then who cares. If the screen is on and completely black all the time then you have others problems besides light bleed.

My n10 has very little to no light bleed

None here. Got mine on Monday, expecting to have at least one issue...but not one so far.

very slight bleed for mine, not noticeable until i turn up the brightness all the way up and really look for it with a black screen

Mine is perfectly fine. No issue.

Mine looks perfect. Of course I'm not looking specifically to see if I do. It amazes me how many people on the forums are going out of their way to look for issues with their tablet.
If it looks good while I'm using it and I have no issues I'm OK with that!!

Exactly. On any device, if you're looking for problems you'll inevitably find some but in the real world under usage you'll notice none whatsoever

I did a bit more experimenting today. If I bring up a full-screen black image in a dark room with screen brightness at 100%, I can see some minimal light bleed in the lower two corners. My guess is, as others have said, that this is just going to be a given with these types of screens. I also noticed:
As soon as I set my screen brightness to auto, while still in a dark room with a full-screen black image, the light bleed was totally unnoticeable.
As soon as I turned on the lights in the room, with screen brightness still at 100% and a full-screen black image, the light bleed was totally unnoticeable.
So, for me at least, light bleed is only noticeable if I intentionally make it happen. Having the screen set to max brightness while in a totally dark room and a mostly black picture on screen is a pretty unlikely scenario in the real world. In normal usage I've never notice the light bleed, and I doubt I ever will.

I've been using my N10 since it was first released and the screen is perfect. Do you need unnatural or unusual conditions to detect light bleed?

Too much light bleed?

I read some posts regarding the light bleed in pure black screen under a dark environment with brightness set to 100%. However, My Nexus 7 (2013) doesn't show a serious problem in this condition but very noticeable at the top edge with other colors especially the grey and blue.
I took two shots here and do you guys think it is serious?
My Nexus 7 (2013) has been repaired for 4 times (The first time I have one dead pixel in the center of the screen) and I afraid if the Asus service center replaced a new LCD panel for me, it will have dead/stuck pixels again.

Katecca,
There will always be light bleed sooner or later. I had my N7 G1 and it light bleed too. It gets worse with time but are you going to keep staring at the corner of the screen while you play Real Racing 3? With light background colours you won't notice it. My N7 GII had excessive light bleed the first time I turned it on but after I put a colourful wallpaper you can't see it anymore. If everything is fine then there is no point in bringing it in to Asus for repair.

The lighter background color, the more noticeable light bleed. I tried RR3 and it is noticeable when I focused on the left edge.

Actually light bleed doesn't get worse over time. Unless somehow your screen gets so hot that it melts the seal of the screen. Which then means light bleed is the last of your issues.
