[Q] Screen Issue yes or no?

I have noticed my 7.7 has a display discoloration on the samsung logo side. It can be seen best when using the stock keyboard and turning down the brightness. I thought it is how the keyboard looks first, but I can turn the tab in all directions the discoloring stays where it is, so it has to be the screen. It looks like some greenish tint, and fades absolutely smooth so I havent noticed it before. But now that I know it it just hits the eye... I cant or almost cant see it when displaying white or bright colors, I see it most visible on greys.
My question is: does anyone else have this problem? Should I send my tab for repair?

it's common, almost 8/10 users have it, only a few 'lucky' ones (they claim they don't have screen issues but can't even post a single photo of their screens. ha!) have no issues what so ever..

I am one of the ones who claimed to have a perfect screen, it took weeks before I was able to figure out why I couldn't see what was just a part of manufacture: burn-in circles...I use sketchbook pro (notice the little tiny circle down at the bottom?--even that was shedding enough light to keep my eyes from dialating enough to see the backlight.) I just had to make a black image, export it as png, and open it in the gallery....in my closet....at night....with the door closed...and all the lights off in my bedroom to see it.
But it is absolutely invisible with any kind of normal use. Even sketching at night in a black canvas, I still can't see it.
I haven't taken a picture of my screen because I have no other device with which to do so.
Now to the OP: maybe (or perhaps obviously) my color acuity isn't as perfect as some of these photographers. So unless my minor colorblindness just HAPPENS to be to the colors this display is distorting to, I can't see what's wrong with your screen. Maybe others can. I had a friend accidentally knock my 24" monitor off my desk and he actually caught it! --leaving this horrid thumb print on the upper left hand corner....for an artist, ANNOYING....he replaced it.
Anyway, are you talking about the banding from middle to upper left? That looks like photo distortion and not actually on screen. So I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Are you still within refund/exchange period?

Yes, I think it's quite common in SAMOLED Screen, I have been experience it on my SGS2 and Gtab 7.7. At first it's really annoying but I can live with that, the problem is only visible on low light environment.
But if you want to you can take you tab to samsung for screen replacement, I've done that with my SGS2, but the problem is still there.

yep, it will take extremes to notice the screen issue
one more thing is the status bar burn in, I'm one of the 1st who posted the picture of my tablet, displaying a grey image, you can clearly see the 'darker' portion where the notification bar is. but ever since I used the honey bar app + black status bar, the 'status bar line' is almost gone,

Wait, OP, you're talking about the greenish darkening on the left side? I had that on my first tablet. From verizon, except it was on the "top" (in reference to pic orientation). I returned it. This issue is DEFINITELY covered under warranty, and they will service it, either by giving you a new one, or replacing your screen. Depends on how far out feom your purchase date you are. Did you buy throigh an importer or through verizon? On contract or off?

Yes the greenish darkening is what I talked about! I have it on the bottom side (the one where samsung's logo is located. right side on the photo). So this will be solved when I get my device/screen replaced?
I bought in on contract 2 months ago, so still under warranty.
Thanks for your help!

If it discolors the screen on full brightness then yes, its defective. Verizon replaced mine, but it was within the 2 week refund period. I foind one $250 cheaper than the $750 I paid. Unroot if rooted of course!

I sent it for repair. Now I have to wait two more weeks until I can enjoy ICS. At least I dont have to flash it myself as samsung said they will update it for me in the repairing process.

Finally got my tab back with brand new display installed. It has the same discoloration like the old one. Seems like this is just how those displays are... It annoys me as everyone asks me if it is normal that the keyboard looks like that and imho it's absolutely not. This combined with the crappy looking text every tab 7.7 user suffers from makes me think of switching to iPad3. I don't like the format but display is just so much better...
I really don't want to talk bad about samsung, but every time i purchased one of their products at least something sucked or didn't work. This will be my last samsung product for sure.

Anyone worried about stuck pixels?

Hallo,
I'm coming from an HTC One, of which I had 5 as every single one had stuck pixels. As minute as they are in a screen this sharp, they still make a device feel 'tainted' out of the box and I couldn't put up with them. I have much more faith in Samsung, but can't help but feel a little apprehensive that my bad luck will continue!
Now, I have seen conflicting reports about whether AMOLED can get stuck pixels or not, or whether it is just dead pixels that can occur. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Also, I had a SGS3 but never noticed any display flaws at all. Has anyone had any issues with Galaxy products in the past?

As I know, AMOLED it's not LCD, there is no backlight and the composition is organic. LCD use more energy, doesn't have black background and have problem with the pixels just like every LCD tv. AMOLED screens are different construction, so there would be no dead pixels. However, you can have black spots with black screen in darker rooms (I know sounds awful, but yes...most amoled have this issue but can't be seen in normal conditions) and the pixels can burn and lose intensity (never happened to my phones). So, amoled is much safer than lcd and the colors are more natural

^What has Exynos got to do with anything? :/
Well, I haven't had the dead/stuck pixel issue with the Note II, which I had with every single LCD phones to varying degrees. And seems like AMOLEDs tend to suffer from this a bit less too, relatively speaking. But AMOLEDs are not immune from stuck/dead pixels. And I'm not sure about this, but I'm thinking stuck/dead pixel would not be as visible in AMOLED.
But you should already be aware of the black blotches that you'll see on screen - that's pretty much standard with all AMOLED screens. Not a big issue, you wouldn't even notice it unless you crank up your brightness on a pitch black background in a dark room. For me that's a fair trade off for the superior quality and battery life that AMOLED offers.

Wasn't aware of the blotches, thanks for that. Just had a google and considering I never noticed it at all on my S3 can't see it being a prob. I have seen people claim that it is "mechanically" (or some similar word) impossible for an AMOLED pixel to get stuck, was just interested if anyone knew the details of such a claim if it is true.
Either way, judging how happy I was with the S3 screen I cannot see there being any problem on this one.

Sorry, corrected....I mean Amoled, not Exynos.

LCD uses two transparent panels with liquid crystals between them. When light is flashed, the lens twist to allow the light to be pass/blocked to produce different colours. When this doesn't work like being clogged/stuck or something then you get a stuck pixel, but it's possible to make it better or fix by using pixel apps that flash light on the screen to make it refresh.
AMOLED is OLED pixels that each generate its own light. No moving parts. It is possible to get a stuck pixel but less prone than LCD. But if you do get a stuck pixel displaying wrong colour, it's pretty much defective I think.

OK.
So I just got my s4 from tmoblie and it almost seems I have a stuck blue pixel. I noticed it when I first plugged it in to charge it up before using. On the charging screen I can see a clear blue dot where there shouldn't be one. I can also see it briefly when my screen goes to sleep and I hit the home button to turn it on. I ran through some color screens but it doesn't seem to show up. Not sure if this is just some OS / device issue, or if its an actual defect of the screen.
Anyone ever run into something like that?

Sounds like a stuck pixel to me if it's blue.

Same here - just got my s4 from t-mobile, except my stuck pixel is red. Can only see it when screen is on, but black (on boot up or phone wake). Using the detectors from the market help to show it (if I set the screen to all black). Doesn't show up in a screenshot, so definitely hardware. Debating whether it's worth it to return for the one stuck pixel that I can't see most of the time. From what I've read, on AMOLED screens, it won't just go away eventually.

Did you return your Moto X? Why?

I was so excited to get the 2014 Moto X and I was going to order it through MotoMaker but the wait was absolutely ridiculous. So I went to a local Verizon store and purchased the black 16GB version. I was VERY happy with this device, however with all the news about the DROID Turbo....how could I not return it and wait for that instead? So that's what I did..anyone else do that or consider doing that?

Screen defect of excessive color shifts when tilting our screen. Basically when showing a page white background (like gmail or google's search page), the screen would appear yellow tinted when looking straight, and appear blue tinted when tilted to any direction for a few degrees. It is more obvious under full brightness and it will look like a yellow/orange blob appearing and disappearing as you tilt the screen.

Yeah, I returned my MotoMaker version. Didn't like the colour. But bought a black one off Amazon.
Not convinced it's worth £200 over a Nexus 5 though.

Does this issue usually show straight away as soon as you switch the device on, or is it something that can develop at any time? My Moto X 2014 only arrived today and I love it, the screen looks fine but now I'm worried that I'm going like this device the more I use it and then suffer this screen issue. How common is it?

Yeah I can see it now. I can live with that though as long as I know my device isn't faulty. Thanks for the fast reply.

Well I'm not returning it but selling it, the main reason is because the Nexus 6 have better hardware with some of the same features of the X. I'm interested in the better camera, dual speakers, higher res screen and much bigger battery. I'm disappointed the Moto X didn't get some of these things. I'd probably be content with my Moto X if the Nexus 6 didn't exist or had better hardware.
I can't deal with large phones, so I bought a used Moto X for $165. I'm not sure if I can use the N6 as the daily driver due to the size.

Temp fix is to download screen adjuster and have it run on boot. Then set blue to 15 and disable the notification. Its like it never happened haha.

The color shift happens to most phones. The screen adjuster for the most part fixes the yellow.

Great solution! It really helps to remove the orange/yellow look and makes everything more natural. I find 15 a bit too cold for my taste but 10 works really well.

Screen pressure under front camera?

On the top left corner of my screen on the nav bar, right below the camera/proximity sensor I see what appears to be just a slight bit of pressure on the screen causing it to be slightly brighter . It's barely visible, and I'm not talking about the light bleed issue from the secondary display, because this is on the other side. It's very faint, and I can't see it when the screen background is dark or if the screen is off. It can best be seen by tilting the phone forward.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes I have a black bar under my front camera, proximity sensor area. If I look up from bottom to top of screen it's lighter. I had mine warrantied out today from T-Mobile

I had that issue with my first V20 from AT&T. I went to AT&T and they changed it out at no cost. I get a new one and it has a new screen 'pressure' located on the bottom corners. Makes black look a little grey in the corners.

It's on mines also, but it's a dark spot instead of a brighter spot. Right above over the status bar, you can even see it in white pics too. Wanted to send it to LG so I can get a replacement but want to know if it's fixable first.

I have this too and I wonder if it is from the CPU/GPU heating up. If you look at the ifixit teardown, that is approximately where the heat outlets. I have it on mine. It was day 1 and I was flashing some roms.

Yeah it's mostly when I flash ROMs especially AOKP or LOS. I'm thinking it's a backlight problem, because when I go back to stock it doesn't show... And it could be the CPU/GPU also because during flashing ROMs that part specifically gets warm.

Maybe you are right. I didn't see it in stock but it's super prominent in LOS. I was flashing roms for like 4 hours though. Not sure what is the exact issue.

Alright so I reverted to stock and locked the bootloader and everything. That dark spot is just as present in the stock ROM. The T-Mobile store representative agreed it was an issue. Now I gotta ship it back and wait for the replacement. Just got it a day ago man. :crying:

JFYI...have it here too.

My replacement V20 has the exact same thing?!?! Dark spot in the middle of the status bar on white (or lighter) screens. What is weirder is that it is the exact same pattern and location as the first one. It is present in both stock and LOS. I suppose I'll just wait around a year and warranty it out then because I just want to start using the phone. I included an image for people that were curious how it looked.

I'm experiencing the same thing with my V20. I can see a dark spot under the proximity sensor. Did anyone get it fixed somehow through a replacement or repair through LG?

Have any of you used a simple free screen test app to help confirm the "fault" you seem to have?

Hi Guys. I Just recently bought an LG V20 and have a similar issue. It doesn't affect day to day use but was wondering if it is normal because of the 2nd screen?

I have that same issue ^ not as burnt though but same place and shape. No screen retention at all from what I can tell, just this!
Hasn't bothered me enough yet to do anything, can only really see it on white screens.

Same

It isn't pressure spots - it's IPS light bleed. With regards to the darker patch just underneath the second screen - this is because of light differences between the main panel lighting and the second screen lighting (and again, because it is IPS, the light bleeds over if the second screen is brighter than the main screen).

Dark blotches in low brightness

I've just bought this phone yesterday. I've noticed that there are black blotches at the screen (on whole status bar and upper left part of the screen) when viewing dark gray backgrounds at low brightness. Is this normal? This is my first Oneplus phone and also my first phone that has OLED screen.
Edit: I've been looking into it and reading some post and it turns out that this is common on OLED display a couple of years ago. Is it still common with OLED today?
Edit2: added images here

Btw, i have 8/128 midnight black variant

Anyone that is also having this issue?

Hmm not normal. Could it be the stock screen protector stained?

Even in completely dark room with lowest brightness?

Are you just talking about the phone when the screen is off and you can see light reflecting off it and notice dark kind of blotches on the screen in places
I did notice something like this last week but put it down to condensation or something similar.
I still have the factory supplied screen protector on so perhaps that's got something to do with it.
Would hate to think it's some kind of damage or burn in or something but doubt that,phones only 2 weeks old

It 's the third oneplus 6t that change for this problem and all those I could test are the same including the last changed 2 days ago'.e' a defect of the amoled of all Oneplus, but also Huawei, for example the Mate 10 Pro. Who did not notice was not careful enough, because they certainly had the same problem. Do not worry you can replace it as many times as you want but it will never be perfect, I suggest you keep what you have, because you could get worse, you have to just learn to live with it.

Aw. I was waiting for someone to confirm this. I knew that this was a problem of amoled a few years ago. I've looked everywhere and I can't find recent articles or post about this for amoled so I assumed that it should not exhibit this issue at this day. Sucks that I have to read your post after I sent it for exchange.

Did you get worse when you exchanged yours?

I have a similar issue. For me in low brightness with grey background or in those screen test apps I have a dark stripe centered from top to bottom and some brighter stripes left and right of the dark one.
I think I just have to live with it as it's in low brightness only.

the last one I changed has the only problem .. just from another part of the screen. If I knew I would not have made these changes.

So your first device does not have this issue?

There are good ones out there like mine. Though you need to get lucky to get a really good one. There's always a risk you will get the issue but amoled screens are better overall than a few years ago.

I RMA mine. Hopefully I get a new one without this issue

I bought OP6T in a chain of stores .. I changed three devices and three new ones all had the defect somewhere, you could also do RMA infinite, the problem will recur. The image posted before the other user, probably is not has been tested with all colors. For example, one of the 3 my devices does it with green, another one was gray. So you can be sure that the next device that will give you will still have the defect. even if you probably will not notice it. do RMA because the Oneplus displays are of mediocre quality.
