I've noticed this with other Galaxy 3 phones...the text quality is terrible! We know from how much nicer the full size screen shots of the phone look!
I guess its probably because of the resolution, smaller screen etc, but is there any way to fix this?
I dont think that this issue can be fixed coz the screen y big for the low resolution, and changing the dpi brings application problems and crashes, maybr changing the font but im not sure

Hello, I've been on numerous web sites during these last days concerning the Samsung Galaxy Note and it seems that many people are complaining about the screen having some pink,green and blue dots on white backgrounds specially when watching videos.
Will that problem be solved if ICS sandwich is intalled on the note or is it a factory problem?
I'm was about to buy the Note but now i'm unsure, please help me out!
Thank you in advance!
I wouldn't read to much into these stores. I've had Samsung phones sgs1 sgs2 and now note. Never had any problems with any of them.

I don't have any such problems with mine and I don't know of anyone else with such problems either.

I don't recall anyone EVER complaining about that.
I assume it's the latest "X said that Y said that Z said......." trend.
Way more people are complaining about black crush/bad blacks, which is apparently fixed in ICS.

I've never heard or experienced the problem you describe!
The screen is just perfect! Nothing to worry about. Just go buy it and you will never be satisfied with any other screen again!

The camera produces, on low light conditions a pink/green dot in the middle of the display, not on the photos.
On videos using lower or higher resolution then devices native playback resolution 800p produces black squares on low light scenes with dark content. Example Rasty nails video on YouTube look it at the different formats and checked how they behave.

I spoke to Samsung directly about the pink dot on the camera. It would seem to be a design fault, and I feel the likely cause is the autofocus. it is only apparent under some lighting conditions and stills can easily be corrected with photoshop. Video is the same, but I have to say, that I have shot some amazing footage that out performs my now retired and sold semi pro vid. camera. Until I see ICS on my phone, I wont know if this has been fixed. (all digi sensors have defects that are mapped out via firmware). In all other respects the screen is perfect, brilliant even. If this bugs you, its not a smart phone your looking for, its a digital SLR that you need. If your happy with what I've said, you should not worry.
Hi all, just nabbed a 7.7 today moving away from the p1000. I started playing around with the camera and I immediately noticed some oddities especially when switching to video mode set at 720p quality.
Below are screenshots taken with my SGS 2, where I placed the tablet stationary at a certain distance from my printer and tested different resolution settings on the camera, while maintaining the tablet in same position at all times.
First a test with the picture mode, the distances between 480p and the highest quality isn't very noticeable but it's there,
480p
Highest quality with widescreen
This, I have no problems whatsoever, taking pictures still feels the same as the p1000 and that's good because I'm used to that.
Next is where I am really confused. When switching to video mode, I noticed the entire printer seems to be zoomed in closer and the graininess has increased drastically (I suspect the increased in graininess comes from zooming too close to it). I have checked everywhere in the menu to look for zoom settings but alas, after googling around the tablet's default camera app doesn't support zoom at all. Which brings me to an even bigger problem, as it just feels out of place when everything is zoomed in whenever I wanted to take a video recording. After turning down the quality to 480p, it felt so much better with the distancing between the object and the camera. Pics below will show the comparison between both settings,
480p video
720p video
Is everyone else having this same oddity with their camera as well? I hope its not a 'normal' thing cause I'd be hating it immensely (just using 480p mode in the meantime) :|
any kind sgt owners willing to test this out for me and give a feedback?
at least I could pinpoint if its a hardware or software problem, if its different between other tablets.
I am having the same problem. I was wanting to use my 7.7 as a uStream live streaming device for some of our company events, and because of this problem, I am using my phone instead, which sucks because phone calls can interupt!
Anyone else notice vid camera zoomed all of the way in, with no other way to zoom out. Is there a fix?
I have never used 720p video recording before, but after reading this thread I just tried it. Same problem as reported. On 480p everything works fine, but on 720p vid is zoomed in alot. Also quality is way worse than on 480p.
I guess without this thread I would have never noticed that, but this is indeed a huge bug that should not happen on final software for an expensive device like this.
It is advertised with hd video recording after all...
thanks guys for the feedback!
I was almost tempted to try another firmware but with different SGT 7.7's out there affected by this bug, it needs to be reported.
I am pretty sure it is a software problem which is causing the camera to zoom in on HD mode (digital zooming is possible with third party software as I have tried it)
Also, because it is always digitally zoomed in, the quality/graininess will be a lot worse, this is what every tab 7.7 owner will be looking at.
Could anyone guide me to report this directly to Samsung? I'm hoping its fixed before official ICS!
bump, anyone else having the same issues with their camera just give a feedback here.
+1
Also the text is cut off in settings when in landscape.. geez
I have the same issue. Tried using a video recorder app off the market and it would digital zoom 720p and 480p so that wasn't any help.

wow that sucks ! I dont have the sgt 7.7 with me but this is too serious to be overlooked
i guess based on the amount of responses in this thread most of the tab owners never really cared about 720p video recording
this is my FINAL samsung android product... I feel that they have dropped the ball this time, their pinnacle being SGS 2 and I will always remember the younger days when samsung was focused on something good,
now they are just releasing products like different branded cereal without even tasting them first.
someone explained this one to me before since I hate the 'zoom' effect of the screen as well, but as per his explanation, this could be due to the camera pixel, we have a 3.2 on board camera, using it in 3.2mpxl snapper makes use of the whole image sensor pixel array. using the 720P video on the other hand will use only a portion of that array and the software automatically fill the screen. I don't have an explanation regarding the full screen, un-zoomed 480P though,
I dont find this as a problem but if we can just have this adjusted (zoom in and out) it would be much better
Sammy juat stopped caring about their tabs. Gs3 is making sales targets. Thats good enough for them. Too bad! 7 inch market is super competative. If they dont act fast they will lose just like blackbery and their underdeveloped playbok

I am so angry I'm considering ditching Samsung. ICS finally arrived in the UK via Kies a couple of days ago. I didn't have this issue with Honeycomb but now with ICS my P6800 video camera, when in HD mode displays a zoomed image. The only reason I;m not ditching it right now is because of the SuperAMOLED screen - the same reason I paid silly money for it when I could have gotten a Nexus.
I have done some recherching and found out this is not a bug! Many devices have this. I'll try to explain what happens:
If you record videos in HD, your device has to downscale the video to show it to you on display while at the same time saving it in HD resolution and keeping the promised frame rate. This needs too much processing power, framerate would just drop. So they use a little trick: If you don't downscale the preview but only show a small part of what the sensor gets you save alot of processing power. But on the other hand it gives you the noticed "zoomed-in" look, also the image quality is less because it does not use the whole sensor (like it would on a still).
The saved video should look normal (not zoomed-in).
Hope my english is not too bad so you can understand what I mean
Camera ics + doesnt zoom in when recording ^^

Standard poor copy-paste response from Samsung, which appear not to acknowledge that the device isn't a telephone:
Thank you for contacting Samsung and I have pleasure in providing the following assistance.
I’m sorry you are having issues with your device after upgrading the firmware. I can understand your frustration about this.
Old systems settings can be left on the phone after an update occurs, which is why we usually recommend a full factory reset after updating. If this isn’t done your device may begin to give false readings from system resources, or experience technical problems, which may explain the issue you are having.
We would advise on doing the following, which is designed to reset the settings on your device. Please back up your device using Samsung KIES before you do this.
1) Remove the battery for at least 40 minutes, put the battery back in and allow it to fully discharge. Afterwards, perform a full battery charge with the device turned off. Do not interrupt the charging process.
2) After the battery is fully charged, we would like you to perform a full factory reset, which can be done via Settings > Backup > Reset.
This process will reset your device, remove old system files that are no longer needed and enable your device to operate normally again.
Please let us know if your device continues to experience problems after the reset so we can investigate further.
If you require any further assistance, please contact Samsung again and we will be more than happy to help.
Kind regards

I must respectfully disagree. If that were the case then the behaviour should have been the same prior to the ICS update. Also, when copying the video off the device and playing it back on a FullHD capable device the quality is still poor.
"Many of the images were noticeably washed out -- they looked like over exposed photographs with missing highlights, reduced image contrast, and weak colors," Soneira wrote.
But I was curious why these shortcomings weren't showing up in reviews -- and why Soneira seemed to be contradicting himself when he told me that the display itself was "high quality." So, I asked him to clarify this.
Here's what he said.
The LCD panel itself is excellent. Good luminance, high Contrast Ratio, excellent Color Gamut and Color Saturation. So the raw LCD display itself is great. The problem is that the factory calibration of the display parameters (generally performed via firmware) is way off (particularly the Intensity Scale) so the images that appear on this fine LCD display look washed out...the display produces washed out images and colors in spite of the fact that it has a display with excellent color saturation and contrast. Similarly, a great camera will take poor quality photos if it isn't properly factory calibrated.
He expands on particulars in the blog post.
There is about a 25 percent compression of bright image content, which is quite substantial. This holds for both the Gallery Viewer and the Chrome Browser. On some cheap displays this is done intentionally by the manufacturer because the compression actually makes them appear artificially bright. Here I think it's probably just incompetence by the manufacturer, which is too bad because they messed up a really nice display.
I also want to know about this. The contrast seems very low to me. This display can do better than what it's currently set at.
Wrong thread ?

I have some faith that when morfic makes a trinity kernel for the n7 that some of this will be rectified. Unfortunately, his order was held up. I guess the first step is to find out what code is tweak able in the kernel to actually do this.

I believe I saw a mod which corrected some of the Galaxy Nexus dislpay shortcomings by calibrating it a bit differently. I wonder if the same could be said for the Nexus 7. @piam, I don't know why the reviewers never mentioned this in their reviews, but that's the first thing I noticed when I opened up my Nexus 7, and that was on the stock wallpaper that was on.
I just hope that someone gets a mod out soon, cause its a really great tablet looking cheap just because of the washed out colours.
I find that the home screen is not well optimized but Netflix is looking pretty good. I also find that lowering the brightness helps...which does indicate a calibration issue.
Its pretty good already though...almost quibbling.

I've noticed while using YouTube as well. If play videos on my Galaxy Nexus side by side with my Nexus 7, the colors look washed out. Probably there will be a kernel fix.

Hello! I'm New Here So the situation is, I have a Note 4 that is almost brand new (Snapdragon) and I love it so much. My only issue with my Note 4 is when I watch videos either if it's offline or online, The video seems to not be as sharp as my Note 3 and also isn't as colorful as my Note 3 as well. I'm talking about 1080p videos and I also notice facebook thumbnails look faded as well; I looked everyone for help but no answer as if a problem like this doesn't exist but the closest thing I found was the nexus players updating to marshmallow with a RGB Limit bug which looked the same to what I'm experiencing. I know this isn't a hardware problem and I don't have anything wrong with the phone (Not even rooted) I'm on 6.0 and I really want to get this fix to watch media without the noticeable problem. I'd really appreciate anyone help to take their time out to figure this problem out, thank you.
If further information is needed, I will try my best to provide.

Are you using a screen protector? Some screen protector's can act as a filler to make the display on mobile device's look worst than anything else.
