Strange... why is this?

I have the same problem too, its really annoying while watching movies or youtube.
Can any body confirm that too?
I'm thinking about replacing the handset.

I dont think the handset is issues, but rather the software. Do you also have the pink tint on black?

I still have this issue. I noticed this on youtube as well and its quite irritating. What to do? Im sure my display isnt defect because everything else is fine. Im wondering if it has to do with the pink tint bug.

If you mean pixelated blocks in the dark areas of video you can alleviate it somewhat by experimenting with colour modes and brightness settings combinations. Overall it is because your screen is too good and reveals the compression video artefacts present in video files more than an LCD does. It's not your phone, it's the file you are watching.

I don't notice this on my computer monitor even though it's the same res..
It's not just blocky.. it shows black pitch black (if things are supposed to be black) around the rest of the video so it looks really weird.

Bad tint

My screen has a tarnish yellow tint that is very visible when looking at Web pages but I can only really see the tint when I look straight on at the phone. Is there a way to fix that and to fix the ugly black blotches in the dark?

If very easy to see yellow tint, go to Samsung service center. About blotch in the dark, that's normal

So, nothing wrong here, if you can use it normally.

Oh it's definitely usable I'm just picky about that kind of stuff but I assume it's fixable bc some things look whiter so I'm assuming it's software

You mean change color when browsing? When browsing, go to menu button, setting and brightness. Try change from there.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Just the white looks a yellowish in general on the device not just on the browser but I'd like an explanation why I only notice the tint when looking straight on not from the side
I also have very slight banding of darker pixels when the screen is gray...grr more and more I look at screen more problems I see

Problems with Screen/Photos

So I just noticed on a few of my pictures that I've taken, there seems to be some kind of distortion or something. Happens mostly on dark photos but there have been a few photos that I've taken during the day that I've noticed this on aswell. Does anyone else have this issue or know what the cause may be?
Far left of the picture that goes from the bottom of the screen going up. Only happens in pictures after they have been taken.

You either have the reddish black (only visible in near darkness) or the smear problem. I got mine swapped, and now I'm stuck with the smearing problem.......
My firmware is xuamdf

You can fix the smearing problem temporally

Distortion lines when taking pics and vids

This is a problem I sometimes get distortion lines when I'm taking pictures and videos. I notice this during my videos plus it actually shows up when viewing them in the gallery.

The sensor does not react so well to fluorescent light in low-light situations.
Does it also happen on a different camera app?
It generally happens when I move the camera from down to up quite quickly or sometimes just with my hand moves a little bit and yes the same happens with other camera apps

I've also noticed that it generally happens in low light conditions
