Hi,
When I dispay a black background color on my X1 for example the pannel screen while it is switching to a different pannel or standard pannel I see a bit of light leakage on the top 2 corners of the screen from each side. A bit white, if you understand what i mean.
Does anyone notice that?
Thanks for the info
Yep I notice it too. Probably a case of bad backlight LED placement.
This screen doesn't seem to have as good a contrast ratio (black levels) as the one on the Touch Pro.
it's rather massive. Its even visible on camera mode when you have wide-mode off.
I hate living with imperfection.
How bad is it on your device?
I have to say its not visible when other colors than black are displayed
I'm probably seeing the same thing as you are - two bright areas on the top/left edge of the display.
The light is "leaking" because the display contrast isn't high enough and the screen assembly is a bit thin.
It's something I can live with, but I do wish SE had sourced for a better display. HTC has raised the bar since Diamond and Raphael, and this one is pretty good for a Windows Mobile device, but there are tons of even better screens out there - think Japanese super-keitais.
humm.. I was trying to look for the light leakage but I can't really seem to see it.... perhaps you could post some photos of what it actually looks like?
yup, it's there
don't see any leakage on mine...
I tried one in the shop and the screen was tilting left a little bit. Also the flip was a bit loose even in closed. Any comfirmation?
I'm pretty sure all devices have the same leakage problem. Just put on a pure black screen and look for the white cones decending from the top corners.
It's because of the led's behind the screen I guess
honestly, there's very little (leakage, short of better term) if not none. If you have seen TouchPro, it leaks like crazy...
Leakage is pretty terrible, no doubt about it. Wonder if this fault is only on some handsets?

My TP don't have this at all. Virtually no leakage. Pretty much solid black even in pitch black environment. Contrast and viewing angles are excellent. One of the best if not the best screen I've seen to date. Seems like they're using 8 bit panel instead of 6 bit TN panel. The latter have terrible contrast and viewing angle as standard.
lucky if u only seen it on top corners, mine are on all corners!
i don't see any leakage... went into a pitch black room and pressed the panel button and i see no white light coming out of the corners...

then you must have a rare TP, all the TP owners in Singapore reported to have the same leakage. that's if we are talking about the same thing with regards to light leakage...
Hi,
2 days ago a friend of me and me bougt this moblie,
yesterday i gave it back to the store, cause i've seen the white
leakage on my display too, on the devise of my friend its ok.
today I'll get a new one. Hope its ok there....
Thought it was damage or so....

Maybe I'm missing the point here. Do you mind posting a screen shot of the issue so we can be on the same boat? Now you've got me curious.
I'll try and post a photo when I get home later, mine is mainly in the bottom left half of the screen and it's really noticeable and distracting when viewing something dark.
Hmmm, I've definitely noticed leakage on my xperia, in the bottom left hand corner when in landscape.
I had a Touch Pro for a few weeks before I got the xperia, and the screen on that was flawless. I might give vodafone a ring and see if I can get it replaced...
Don't forget to switch the display brightness to full to be able to observe the leakage. When I watch the Bond trailer I can definitely see the leakage on the top corners when there is a black background in the beginning. It's rather distrubing but I do believe that all devices have that in some sort of extent. I think you just have to get used to it and live with it.
can you guys try this out and tell me if you see this on your screens. first turn down the brightness and go to a web page with lots off black text. on my screen everything black leaves a faint line across the screen wherever there is a black pixel from right to left. do you guys see this? out is much less noticeable when the brightness is turned up.
I've seen a tiny hint of this in my screen, but it hasn't bothered me. If it's severe in your phone, you may want to contact HTC.

yes I notice this as well but I have to say that is only noticeable with backlight set to minimum, and i think it's a normal behaviour of an amoled screen. Now I have one question about the screen too:
When I'm watching pics or movies the screen has a very good resolution. For all the rest the screen seems a bit dotted and grainy, especially with text. For example in the app launcher where the app's names are written in white and the background is black the text is not extremely clear and if I take a closer look theres seems to be pink pixelss on the letter's edges. I can notice this thing almost evrywhere but I think it's a lot more clear to see with text and the backlight set to max. do you manage to see this too or do you think that's because i have a defective phone?

the grainyness on thin objects like text is 100% normal, its just how these OLED displays work.
This guy did some awesome research into the graininess issue using a macro lens on his camera. Really interesting stuff...

Eheh it's me that started that thread and i think that guy really did a great job trying to explain what's the problem... now i'm curious to know how many people notices this because till now it seemed that only me and that guy could see this "issue" so sometimes i'm still worried i have a faulty phone...it won't be a good thing since I'm from italy and getting a replacement phone wouldn't be very easy
My screen also appears reddish when i turn off the blacklighting in the clock app :\ maybe its defective?

No, mine experiences the same thing. Seems like reds are more biased when less power is given to the LEDs (not exactly a "backlight"). This is slightly noticeable on the lowest brightness setting too.
And mine experiences the "black line" issue too. I guess it's just how OLED screens work.

Seen it slightly a few times. But never bothered me since I'm never in very low brightness that much.

Does it look like this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628270
I searched around the forums and did not see anything else posted about this. I just bought the WiFi only Xoom and am very happy with it, except for the fact that the bottom edge of my screen is darker and dimmer.
To clarify a little bit, I mean the edge of the screen thats next to the ports on the bottom of the Xoom. Normally its impossible to notice since I usually hold my xoom in landscape and there is the black bar at the bottom. If I open a pdf file or ebook, and then view it in portrait mode, I notice a darkening of the screen along this edge. It kind of looks like a shadow or a very slight black blur. The darkness is not that exaggerated but once I noticed it, I could not stop looking at it when reading.
Now I normally go on a witch hunt for problems with new devices when I first get them. The more I pay for them, the harder I look. I thought at first I might be doing this with the xoom and kind of blowing this out of proportion, but last night I was showing it off to a friend and he noticed it before I even mentioned it.
Does anyone else notice the darkness along the bottom, or do I just have a defective panel? Its easiest to see if you put your brightness around 80% and then display something that has lots of white, like a pdf or ebook, and then hold it in portrait mode.
I will post pics of it when I get home tonight.
i've noticed on all the xooms i've looked at too, including the one i bought. someone once replied that it was defective, but i think it's actually how it's made.
most people's eyes may not be sensitive enough to notice this i suppose.
I hope this is not the case. This might be a deal breaker for me since I need a device that I can read on a lot.
Can anyone else verify this?
Mines not like that. I'm using the Verizon one. I use it in portrait often.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
i just exchanged my defective one (had wake issues) for a new one and guess what - dim bottom too.
that makes 8 xooms i've looked at that have the dim bottom. it's only noticable on white/light bg and if you don't have your menu bar covering it.
i picked up the wifi xoom yesterday and noticed it when togglieing the bottom right corner setting button (battery indicator). When looking at this the entire right portion of the screen dims. Other than that, it is not noticeable.

This is a purposeful UI effect (what you are talking about, not the OP).
For the OP, I looked at my Xoom diff brightness levels, angles, orientations, etc, cannot see any dimming. 3G model. Not very helpful, I know.
also, if you look at the top of the screen (landscape mode) at an angle you can see the light source. the lighting just isn't even. i'm positive that if i look at anyone's xoom i'll see it since the back lighting is made the same on all... unless they switched mfg's in production like the evo4g's did.
Well thats a real bummer. I think I might just hold onto mine for a while and maybe try and do a warranty replacement later in the year if they fix this issue.
Did you notice any 3g models having the dim bottom, madsquabbles? Or for that matter, has anyone noticed this on the 3g model?
I first noticed it on the 3G. thats when I posted my first question.
Just got my new SGS2 3 days ago, really liking it but stumbled into a screen problem and would like to know if it's just me/it's normal/I need to change a setting to fix the problem.
Just like the title says, the left side (about 1/3) of my screen changes the colour of the image to a more yellowish tint. This seems to happen just when the brightness is quite low, and tends to disappear when close to 100%.
It is rather subtle, but can be seen where there's white text on a darker background (white characters become darker the closer they are to the left border), or when looking at an uniform colour.
I created this test page to make the problem more apparent: http://fiddle.jshell.net/qFxsC/1/show/
When visiting it on the S2 browser and setting browser brightness to around 20%, it becomes quite visible.
Anybody else with the same problem?
EDIT:
We still DO NOT have pictures of a phone WITHOUT the problem described above!
If you believe your SGS2 has a perfect screen, please post pics of the notification area taken in the dark at both 0-20% brightness and 100% brightness!
UPDATE
Various websites have started to talk about this problem, linking to this thread:

I have just sent an email to GSMarena asking if they could check the unit they reviewed to see if it has the same problem. Of all the phone reviews I have seen, theirs seems to be the most focused on image quality, I'm sure that if their unit doesn't have this problem, they would be able to take clear shots of a flawless screen.
EDIT:
GSMarena took screens of their unit using the above test link, and while so far I believe theirs is the best looking display that we have seen so far, it *STILL* has the problem.
I am going to link this thread to samsung UK next, in the hopes they will give an official answer acknowledging the problem.
EDIT:
latest firmwares seem to fix this problem or at least make it much less noticeable.
Take it straight back and swap it. Seems to be a growing amount of people on here, including myself, with various dodgy screen issues.

The screen doesn't look perfect if you look at a uniform color on the whole screen + low brightness, but... well I don't tend to use it much for that. Could be a limitation in OLED production-technology getting all the pixels to have exactly the same brightness/color etc.
edit:
To answer directly to the question here, no I don't have a yellowish left side. It's just not completely uniform across the whole screen.
I've got this same thing. I first noticed it when using Estrongs file explorer. I always have my screen turned down to 0% to save battery, but didn't notice this anywhere else yet (at least I didn't think about it).
Your posted image does show it clear.
What to do? Could you others comment whether you've seen this? Go to the OP's posted link and set your brightness down to 0%.

I tried to mess around with settings such as auto adjust screen power etc, but the only thing that seems to fix it is crank up the brightness.
We obviously can't keep it anywhere close to 100% tho, this phone sucks battery down quickly already at 0%!
Another thing you can do to check if you have this screen problem is call *#*#0*#*#*
This will make the phone go in the diagnostic program, and if you try the white diagnostic, you can somewhat see the problem, although not quite as clearly as in the test web page I posted above.
I'm considering to return the phone, as it doesn't seem to be getting better, despite having read that some screen problems might go away after a few days.
Mine is exactly the same. It's noticeable at the lowest brightness setting, however if I increase the brightness even slightly it pretty much disappears for general use. It's still there but not really enough to bother me.
On the OP's link I changed the brightness through several settings and at certain brightness levels the whole screen gets a yellow tint. Not necessarily related to the left side of the screen having a yellow tint, apart from I guess a lack of brightness of the blue subpixels relative to the red and green.
I'm not sure if I'm imagining it but I think it has improved slightly on mine over the past week. However if it gets any worse I think a warranty claim will be in order.
Hhrrmm, I'm in a catch-22 here. There's generally a grace period for any manufacturing errors like this where you can quickly get a replacement just by returning it to the vendor. Problem is, my vendor won't be getting any new units in for another two weeks.

I don't see it clearly on the link he posted.
But i do see it in the notification screen. The grey area is slightly darker/yellow tint on the left site. Even when i put it on maximum brightness you could see it. Especially when you first concentrate your eyes on the right side for 5 seconds and than on the left side.
I do seem to notice it on the notification grey slider where your finger is on when you pull it down, on the left side the grey is a little bit "darker" than on the right side of mt finger.
I tend to think I can also see it on the keyboard, whereas the Q has different grey than P on the opposite of the screen...
Anybody could check this out on their phone??
Thanks in advance!
As time goes by, it feels like my problem is getting worse, although it may only be due to me being aware of it.
Also began noticing it in the pull-down message field. Now I see it against white backgrounds as well, almost like a faint green-grey shadow.
I've contacted my vendor and requested an RMA and replacement. They're sending me a shipping slip to send it to them "for control" then they'll contact me on my options from there. Can only hope they see it as clearly as I do and that they send me a new phone as a replacement rather than repair/refurb crap.
Think this is the last time I buy electronics online. I saved 20% off retail on this one, but having the option to do a walk-in replacement at a brick-n-mortar store would have been worth the higher price. <sigh>
I've got the same thing aswell, a slightly yellow/brown-tinted shade towards the left side of the display. Also visible for example in the market menues, the white areas seem to be very slightly darker towards the left side.
Not sure I am bothered about it enough to return it, doesn't bother me unless I specifically look for it. Also it really is very slight.

If everybody has it, no problem for me.
But if the majority does not have it, I would like to have one without it. Do you think Samsung knows abouth it?
When you have a full grey pictuere or just the notification screen and you go into a perfect dark room. Can you also see, some white vertical en horizontal lines? Looks like hardware where the screen is build on?
Here is a photo I took of my screen with a grey background (see below - click on it to enlarge).
For me, its visibility seems to vary depending on the ambient light, but I'm definitely seeing more effects of it now.
Really hope I'm able to get a good replacement. Am reading quite a bit about this, banding, lines and dead/lit pixels.
so do you think it's a hardware issue, or maybe it will be gone??

The lines you mention are present both on my SGS and my SGS2. It seems to be patterns in the actual OLED pixels, and the patterns and lines are static even when you move pictures. Mostly visible on lower display brightness settings. I've gotten used to them and they don't bother me, and since I have the same thing on two SAMOLED-phones I'd chalk that one up to "just the way it is" aswell. Using anything over 50% brightness has them mostly fade into the display light so only really visible on the lowest brightness settings.

My Samsung focus and Cowon s9 (which I don't even think has a samsung oled screen) have that as well on the lowest brightness, I think its inherent to the tech.

Ah ok thank you!
On a grey pick with full birghtness I can see them too.
On the post 2 post above yours(quist his post) you can see the lines, but now they are not white, but darker, can you confirm you see them and this is what you mean?
Do you also have the yellowish tint on the left side?

For both the SGS and SGS2, the dark lines are there for my devices aswell. They can seem a bit "grainy", and don't seem like perfectly defined lines, though they generally are always straight horizontal or vertical lines. I also have the Xperia Arc at hand, and if you look at a grey-ish image on either the SGS/SGS2, or the Xperia Arc (LCD), the Arc generally has a very smooth grey image, while the SGS/SGS2 has almost like a fine overlay of subtle lines or grids, generally darker in color than the image displayed, though not clearly defined and not completely symmetrical across the display.
Doesn't seem symmetrical enough to be a grid fo the digitizer layer or smtn like that, but definitely a pattern in the display itself. I still pick an AMOLED screen anytime of the day, the Arc display, while more uniform and "blemish"-free in this regard, still has that LCD backlight bleed-through which for me makes the display alot more tiring for the eyes.
Also my SGS2 has a very subtle tint towards yellow when viewing some of the grey test-images some people have posted. Never noticed it on my SGS1, so either I didn't look well enough, or it might be either hardware-related (something causing the pixels on the left side to perhaps not get the same amount of control voltage/whatever for the pixels, thus causing less blue/more yellowish color), or software. Either way, it is way too subtle for me to care at all, maybe this is even according to spec for the SAMOLED+ and some use will even the pixels out, not sure if anyone has some inside knowledge about the SAMOLED screens.
I am definitely seeing this problem getting worse, now it is getting rather obvious as long as phone is lit by artificial light or in the dark, while sunlight seems to make it really hard to spot, even if not direct.
I've been given advice from samsung call center to bring to phone to the closest assistance point, which I'm going to do tomorrow - hope to be able to report back that it is a known problem and they will change my unit.
I hate to make an iPhone reference here, since I'm *not* a fanboy, but Engadget reported when the IP4 was released that yellow spots and banding were due to glues that had not completely dissolved/disappeared and were part of the bonding process of the screen:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/iphone-4s-yellow-spot-issue-goes-away-with-a-bit-of-time/
Now - the picture above showing a completely yellow left-side display - that looks 100% abnormal and I'd RUN back to the store to swap it out. I don't think that's glue related.
Download an app from the Market called "Dead Pixel Test" and run it with the white setting to see what it looks like. Is it still yellow?
Have this same issue. Noticed it right away unfortunately. It will always bother me if I deal with it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
noticed whilst sitting in a slightly dark room (my living room actually) something odd with my note edge.
i scrolled my edge display (got several apps there) today and noticed that if i scrolled fast up and down
while paying attention on my main display (right at the border between the main display / edge display) some weird
artifacts appeared where my edge icons are (on the right side). if i scrolled very slowly, nothing was noticeable.
once i started scrolling up and down more quickly it started to get noticeable.
it's almost as if the icons leaves a very dim "shadow" partly leaking into my main screen.
it was quite easy to spot, especially when i had a white background (s-pen application).
if you want to try for yourself, just peel your eyes at the right if your edge display, scroll up and down with your finger to get those app
icons moving, and you'll probably see some dim "shadows" too. not sure what causes this, but it's a bit annoying once i know it's there.
not that it's that easy to see, but once paying attention to it.. well.. please let me know if anyone else got the same "problem". :good:
i'd call it leaking light, or some sort of thing. looks to be the case. don't know why my app icons on my edge display causes minor light leakage
onto my main display though.
like i said, it's barely noticeable, but still..

hm okay. i have my display set to the adaptive display setting, and i notice minor light leaks from the icons on my edge display
regardless of what wallpaper i'm currently having. this can be visible in my lockscreen too, on a darker wallpaper (currently
got the live weather one actually). i must emphasize that this is not a very noticeable "thing". i do however see some "shadowing"
to the right of my edge app icons if i scroll through them. not too fast, and not too slow. it's hard to see at first,
but if i fix my eyes at a certain point to the far right of my main display, it's there.
this is not noticeable if i do not scroll through my edge display apps though. when doing that, i notice the app icons
have these very very minor shadows casting off to the right of the edge display itself.
i know many people wouldn't even notice it, but i'm one of those pixel peepers i suppose.
for all i know this phenomena only occur on my phone, i don't know.
at first i thought that my eyes were just playing games on me, but i do actually see some very minor light leaking tendencies.
oh well!
Localized to your phone, man..

i'll make sure to test out a phone in some nearby retailer once they get some demo phones out.
in norway, they are currently only sold over the counter, quite literally.
i tried to place a magazine across my edge display. then i started scrolling.. did actually not notice any shadowing or leaking
when i did that. might just be my eyes, or the fact that i'm in a very dark room. our eyes tend to play tricks on us now and then,
this might be the explanation to the issue i suppose. i'll leave feedback once i've done some more research.
as stated earlier though, this was/is hardly noticeable
Barely worth posting about?

well, if you get the notion there might be an issue with your phone
you'd probably ask someone if they experience the same thing you do.
the phone is not available for testing in stores over here, and i don't know anyone else
with a note edge. this is why i posted about the "light leaking" phenomena i was experiencing.
i still find it rather odd. then again, might just be normal.
might also just be me being oversensitive, overanalyzing things.
yet, i just wanted to get some opinions on the matter, i thought someone else
might've noticed something similar.
Or take it to the shop you bought it from.
Im not going to play dumb with you.
