anyone see vertical lines on the screen when the brightness is all the way down. its easier to see on a solid color such as gray
I have absolutely seen it, but decided due to its limited presence I will not worry about it.
I also will not look at any screen smearing or other display related threads until I see an issue on my own. Don't want to go finding problems I didn't know about.

So can anyone confirm that the striations or lines on the screen are normal??
Im talking about when you pull down the notifications bar there are light lines that come down vertically and soma cases are horizontal.
Please let me know I got 30 days with it. thanks!

my first nexus s had darker whites than the display model at the store. I would recommend comparing yours with the store display or another persons nexus s, I think this is the best way, since we cant physically see how your phone screen looks. good luck
Are you referring to the gray section where your service provider is listed? Or the very dark area where the notifications are listed?
If I stare I can see some lines in the gray area.
I do see a slight grid pattern in the power control widget.
No I'm talking about grey section where your messages show up

I think its screen burn in already

I don't have a Nexus S, but I have a Galaxy S i9000M which has a similar (if not exactly the same) screen. If I bring up a screen that is a solid colour, I do notice some imperfections like you describe. They are hardly noticeable though.
Weird. My nexus doesn't have that and I would know, I modded my nexus 1 to be pretty much like gingerbread 6 months back, massive burn in.

actually no.... mine doesn't have any lines or defects.
the only lines are the horizontal ones separating the notifications.
I think I know what you mean. My N1 on certain backgrounds has very faint grey lines. Not always visible, even on white web pages

Why would that cause burn in more than anything else?
I don't know but I don't want it to get worse over time

Yes, I can see it. I can see it on any AMOLED/SAMOLED phone I've ever come in contact with. It's the nature of AMOLED screens unlike most LCD screens. With AMOLED, each pixel is individually powered, and it's impossible to have each pixel (or subpixel) be identical, which leads to slight differences in output and color reproduction. An LCD screen is backlight by either florescent tubes or recently, LEDs, which produce an even backlight (usually) where the colors are controlled by filtering each pixel, rather than having to illuminate each pixel.
Anyway, I only really notice it when the brightness is at the minimum and it's very dark in the place I'm using my phone. If I crank up the brightness or if I'm in a well lit area, I don't notice it at all really. Although if it's VERY obvious, you might have a screen that's significantly lower quality than average... it happens, bad QC or something, exchange it.
Oh, and if you stare at a plasma TV long enough you'll notice the same thing... similar technology, each pixel illuminated individually.
I have a relatively new (1w) sgs3 and have notice that in the dark room when screen has a darkish grey too off-black background solid colour (even on the stock notification background) and with tge brightness on lowest setting,then there many blob marks in the screen.
I ran a pixel checker which is fine but this appears like a defect in the glass itself. I'm not using a screen protector yet.
Can anyone else notice these blobs, some of which are as big as 3-4mm diameters?

Its completely normal on Super Amoled screens. I have them but it doesn't bother me since it only occurs on black screens. FYI, there was already a lot of topics about this already...

Haven't seen it on the SIII, but on the SII I have, this would happen with screen filter on lower brightness. I think that it has something to do with the level at which the pixels fire optimally. If they are under fed, essentially, the inherent flaws in the screen matrix (as in any manufactured item) become visible where they otherwise wouldn't.
I know this has been beaten to death, but it varies from phone to phone. My i9300 had a lot of blobs. My second one only really has one noticeable one. My i747 is almost perfect. It has little dots, but they are spread out and pretty much near the border of the screen. I wish it would have been the other way around...
please search before posting this topic has been discussed in great detail in another thread.
common on super amoled hd panels.
Same issue too. Checked with Samsung and they said it's common for the screen. Only occurs in black pictures low back light and dark room and it doesn't bother me

I'm really picky about my device screens and I've been noticing that the top part of the screen in landscape is darker then the rest on white colors. This is especially annoying in portrait. I've asked a couple people if they could see it they say it's not there but I swear that it is. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced/is experiencing this. Thanks!

Hi.
You're not alone, take a look here and here.

I got the AT&T SGS4 today and upon getting home I realized the lower left corner of my phone's screen has a slight pinkish hue to it. Is this common and I'm being overly anal and just need to deal with it or is this an actual defect with my phone? If this is something common are there any apps that can adjust screen settings to alleviate this? Is there a screen "break-in" time needed for colors to normalize on the SGS4?
It is a seriously small thing, but it just bothers me and will continue to do so for at least the first few weeks of ownership. Also I have spent 4 hours researching this, but all I can find on the internet are results for the SGS2 and SGS3 and Gnex screen issues, oh and a few threads on the Gnote...in other words the internet seems saturated with Galaxy making it hard to search.
Thanks for any answers.

I have the same problem the lower half of my screen towards the bottom has a slight pinkish purple tint to it that's only visible in Grey's and sometimes and other types of screens but it's definitely there. And no it is not normal just grab another s-4 and put it aside by side and you will see the difference. Go and exchange it if you can

I came to the S4 after two HTC Ones that both had build quality issues, I'm going to the give the phone a week to "settle" since I am tired of going to the AT&T store and maybe with enough screen on time it can balance out (I don't know, I'm just hopeful). In the mean time is there any app that can be used to adjust the contrast or gamma settings with or without root? I've been trying to find one so I can at least "hide" the screen difference, but so far the only thing similar I can find is "Color Temperature" settings that based upon the threads I've been through are only in Task650's AOKP.
I just checked mine on a white and grey screen and there is a very slight purple tint. I also now hate you for making me notice it because I never did before.
To be honest though it is barely visible and doesn't bother me. Reminds me of the screen lines on the gs2 that I eventually got used to and forgot were there.

I just noticed horizontal screen banding on the top portion of the screen.
best recogniced in stock background pictures.
also, in phone dial screen and music app, settings, there's very noticable banding right under the blue separating line.
anyone else have this problem?

Yes, I'm having the same issues when I see it on a grey screen. I'm going to end up bringing mine back and try another one. The first one had no banding but it had white lines going through the panel as you were looking at a grey screen. Hopefully I get one that has no issues.
No banding here, post better reproduction steps to get better feedback
What do you mean?

The way I do it is that I download a light to dark grey picture and look at it in the gallery and make it full screen and I can see a different shade of grey line going across the phone.

Also wanted to know if this happens with my issues can it be a software issue to where its not telling the screen the correct color that it should be or is it just a bad panel?

I've noticed banding on mine as well using Lagom test screens. Took some pictures with comparisons to other screens.
well, i went back to the store and exchanged my g2 more than 5 times
all had bandings
i'm pretty sure they hate me there now lol
i guess i'll have to learn to live with it
sigh
I'm getting my LG G2 in a few days so it's this issue just how the phones screen is or is it something to return the phone if mine has it too
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i mean, you won't notice any bandings if you don't look really close enough
I have very, very sensitive eyes
Banding? Do you mean the little dots in rolls and columns all over the screen? It it's that then that normal.
I went to the lagom link posted above and saw none of the banding or apparent moire pattern of the screens posted above. However, on a white bacground i notice a very subtle banding of discoloration going across the screen horizontally in portrait orientation. It's subtle and a non-issue to me but I guess this might be what the OP is referring to.

Just to note, the moire is an effect from the camera not the screen.
Thanks for clearing that up. No pun intended. I went to that link again and tried to notice the banding to no avail.

Stupid question, but in the dial screen, could you be mistaking it for the drop shadow of the tabbed navigation bar? I know I did at first. There's a strange amount of separation between the tabs' bar and a very thin drop shadow. Pretty strange graphic design if you ask me.
I dont think so. I do know that there is a shadow right under the blue line.
If you look at the screen close up at night, you will notice some bandings. It is too much and sudden colr shift to be a shadow.
