That's black clipping. Some users reported that an update solves the issue.
Wait for an update.

I just received this Galaxy Note and noticed that on youtube video playback, the HQ playback on various vids look grainy and somewhat pixelated. My friend has a Nexus and the same playback looks really clear. I've always heard great things about the Note's screen so I'm really surprised and disappointed. This is noticeable on different brightness levels. Can anyone suggest what I can do to determine if my screen has issues or if there is some setting I have to tweak?
You need to update your YouTube app as the default doesn't use hd, just hq. Also HD only works over wifi.

Thanks bud, updating the app worked.
HQ=480p. Obviously when you compare it to true HD, the HD will look better...

I hope you don't have the black clipping issue that is widespread on dark videos. By your're description of pixellation, it sounds like you might... :-(

I just got my note and it's showing the black clipping issues that are described here.... should I return my not and try to get one that doesn't have this issue?

As soon as you can, yes. Some units play almost unwatchable videos. Better units r out there

sad.. im facing the same problem as well. while using youtube to view clip, the dark side of the clip will black clipping
Hello.
I've played this video on my sadly black clipping affected device and I've noticed something really weird :
http://vimeo.com/m/16198274
Every time a bass sound pops (like a drum following the rhythm) the black clipping pattern changes. (its easier to notice this on night scenes in the corners of the video)
I don't really know if it has something to do with the black clipping problem or with the way the video was edited. What do you think?
Excuse my English, I'm Spanish

I was walking past a store and saw a Samsung tv with black clipping lol
Out device was a beta for samsung. They resolved the issue in note 2.

i still cant forget the first day i discovered it on my note ! and the saturn rings on the calculator screen :cyclops:
i cant imagine a TV with it lol
but i have a samsung pc monitor and it seems ok ....
first time i hear that its associated with sound too.....
For tell truth, I just finished to watch the video, but I didn't notice any bad clipping issue. Btw video quality was very low, but still didn't notice anything. I also decreased the brightness to lower value, but nothing changed..... Should I consider my display a good one then?

No. You must see the video in a completely dark room. Brightness screen is irrelevant.

I only see black clipping when i am in night mode. Besides that there is no black clipping even in the dark room at brightness levels given by default.
So for me it happens when i further decrease the beifhness levels.

Is anyone experiencing screen flickering issue? While playing subway surfers I can see some while horizontal lines moving on screen. I don't seem to find it while using other apps or watching videos.

Getting the same thing and only after their last update to fix the black sky issue. It's not happening anywhere else, so I'm guessing it's an issue with the game.

try ticking disable hw overlays in developpers options
Hi. I got my SGS4 a couple of days back. Initially, didn't have any trouble at all (mostly because I had been using it on max brightness). But now I am facing an issue I had been horrendously tormented by in the past. The grey gradients have a purple tint and the greys blurr on scrolling (esp on black background). No solution or cause of the problem is apparent to me.
I used to have a Nokia C7 back in 2011 and it used to do exactly the same. This is most evident when you have lowered the brightness. The dividers in the settings blurr & turn purplish on scrolling. Watching dark scenes in a video also shows some purple/pink smudges.
Is anyone else having this problem? Or is it just me? Is it present in all the phones or just some or maybe just mine?

Well all Samsung amoled screens have some issues like earlier note 2 having yellow tint
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I know AMOELDs do have a tint. But the blurring & smudges in videos is totally unacceptable. Is there a solution to this? Like some hue/gamma correction app? Or some color calibration for such screens?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
Try some different kerner if there is one for S4 to calibrate colors..

Hi guys, please, write here your experiences when watching videos/movies on SG4 screen. Its what you expected, or do you notice some bad disturbing issues like smearing etc.? Do you watch at night as well, any problems with display? Thanks for Yours replies in advance! I have SG2 now, I would like to know if watching movies steped up to higher level
Watching movies is just great. No smearing and the full hd screen is so beautiful (compared to a previous owned gs2 and gs3).

It's just awesome. The picture is sharp as a razor.
There's just one small glitch: when you're watching a movie with dark areas, you may see a difference in areas where pixels are pure black. I mean, you do notice when the leds are turned off. But it's not that much of an issue.

Thanks. Black patches, maybe because of smearing issue? Might will help use of free app Screen Adjuster - when set RBG values +5 / or set constrast value -10. Could you please try and let me know?
With the screen adjuster on smearing/ghosting/black patches whatever you wanna call it is gone but blacks look grey..

Coming from an S2, i am incredibly satisfied with the S4 screen.
The blacks look incredible and everything is razor sharp in HD. Also, the phone is very comfortable to hold since they've packed a huge 5" screen into a fairly small device.
Coming from an s1, the screen, holy f*** its gorgeous! Everytime I stick it on its dock to charge and it lights up at full brightness Its just beautiful!
