I saw someone ask this in a nexus circle on G+ and though maybe it was just his device but a few people posted also claiming the same so tried it myself and noticed it also.
If you put your phone on max brightness and go to an app that leaves the logo on the screen like G+ in the upper left hand corner, imagine FB or whatever else will work the same, and stay there for about 2 minutes then switch to a dark screen(clock) the image is still visible in the corner. It stays there for a few minutes too, then its gone. Is this normal of IPS displays or even LCD for that matter? I mean its very circumstantial, you would have to at max bright and on that type of app for a long time and then to a dark screen to ever notice it but if you went longer under them conditions could it potentially burn in permanently?

This happens on my tablet (TFT LCD), but not on my Nexus 4. It shouldn't cause burn in, LCDs don't burn in

Hi there ! The one asking the question on G+ was me !
I'll post a video on youtube and open a poll about it here !
P.S. it seems that many people do suffer from the problem (cf. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228013&page=4) Therefore I won't be making the video (I think)...
It happens to me all the time. Especially noticeable at night when using it in bed so it doesn't even have to be at maximum brightness.

I've never noticed my screen "flicker"; does it flash off and on again or what?
Yeah, please clarify what a flicker is... if it only happened a couple times then it probably is related to the apps or maybe a couple things going on at once.
If it is not a constant, consistent problem and had only happened a couple times then perhaps it isn't a problem at all.

I get the flicker but it's definitely app related.
When using Google music app and going to lock screen, the " widget" sort of flickers and stretches throughout the lock screen
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
My screen flickered for a good 5 minutes and even a reboot didn't fix it. I think it's hardware related because if it was software a reboot would have fixed it. Could have been a driver glitch too but I'm pretty sure a reboot would've fixed it. My flickered a lot though saw a bunch of vertical lines and discoloration. Idk if that's what you're talking about.

I use Google Music a lot and I've never seen that. I just tried to replicate it and other than the usual CRT off animation I didn't see anything that I would construe as a flicker or flash.
If you hold your device in front of you with the screen on and look beyond it (i.e. over it's shoulder per say) you can see flicker. Works best in a dark room.
No big deal, but it's there.
I think its a big deal ...you spend your money for a working product..these issues need to be addressed..I thought I could trust LG again but dont think I can anymore

This sounds like a refresh rate issue, which would be hardware, yes?

Sounds like one of those magic eye pictures. If you squint at your screen while holding it at a 45-degree angle in a dark room with brightness turned all the way down and jog in place...
I'm not sure how to replicate it based on what you said, but I still don't see any screen flicker.

Mine started flickering like mad today for the first time. I rebooted, but that didn't fix it. I started up a benchmark app and the flickering stopped after the graphics benchmarks ran. I had to RMA my first Nexus 7 with screen issues too, so I'm hoping this is just a software issue
I don't have this issue at all.
I Recently noticed screen burn-in of the Google Play icon (Homescreen Shortcut) on the screen ...
The burn-in is more noticeable in white/gray backgrounds...

Mother of GOD ! there are other icon imprints as well if I look closely !!
Hope it doesn't get darker than this ...
You won't find away around it unfortunately.
These screens are both fantastic and both sh*t at the same time. It's good technology but it isn't perfected. My original SGS went terrible. After nearly 2 years on it I could see perfectly the alarm icon and almost every icon I had on my home screen on light and dark backgrounds - It's a nice screen but it will only get worse within time.
As others have said only real solution is to keep altering your backgrounds and home screens but tbh I wouldn't bother, you'll still get burn from the time and other icons in the status bar.
Until Samsung sort them out and improve how they work it's just the way it's going to be
Whoa!! That is scary!
I have heard that there is no solution for a burn-in..? Thanks for the advice though. I'll keep changing the layout constantly.
I got my Nexus 4 yesterday, and just today I've noticed that when in dark screen (locked, or simply the settings page) and outside of the house I see kind of weird black lines on the whole display screen, going form top to bottom making some 3 small square shapes after the others all over the display, can be obviously seen when display facing bright sky outside in almost any angel, but in room light barely can see them with certain angels.
will make a photo of it asap.
p.s. I've never seen a notification light yet on the middle bottom of my device.
Anyone same "problem" with display?
Its the digitizer.

I can confirm that its the digitizer I too have found that with this phone it is very easy to see even with weak light I see it when I get the right angle. It looks like you described but the vertical lines look more like dots arranged neatly than lines on mine.

Its the digitizer, its normal. I think its because of the "zero gap" technology thing ; the display and the digitizer are right below the glass.
As for the notification light, download Lightflow from the Play Store. Works great.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
For the notification LED, make sure you enable the " Pulse notification light" option in Settings->Display. Using Lightflow on top will give you lots of customisation options though.

I am now noticing the same issue in my nexus 4. If it is because of zero gap technology then why it is not there in iPhone 5 and other phones which use this technology?
I also notice that my brother who got the phone some time in November 2012 is not having this issue. I got the phone in Jan 2013...is it issue with only the new lots?
What google and LG are doing to address this issue?

One thing that annoying me on my nexus 4. You can see on the left of my screen, straight dark line from top to bottom. I haven't drop my nexus before. It appeared on dark colours especially grey colours. For your info its start to appeared when 10 minutes screen on after about 20 minutes screen off. Is it normal? Anyone here have the same problem?

Holy damn. I was just about to make a thread. But mine can't be screenshot. Its seen just like you said and I can flick the different home screens and it stays in the left I've flashed back to stock and still there. Been a week. It got less noticeable when used less. I'm wondering if its because I'm near a big subwoofer in my living room. I know TV used to do this like a bleed line. Have you heard any data yet??? I will send mine back. Please let me know...

I'm currently on my second N3 (the first one had vertical lines in photos) and looks like this one has a bad display. When using Tapatalk with the dark theme, the bottom left corner/edge of the display is brighter than the rest. When testing with Screen Adjuster, the difference is very noticeable. The issue can be seen even with just Thumb Keyboard with WP7 theme.
Has anyone else noticed this kind of problem?

You may notice that the black screen when you open the settings. Not symmetric Colors.
There is a difference in the backlight. Increase in the left of the screen.
AMOLED has no backlight! the issue is due to the production process (basically: the more of the center of the wafer your particular screen has been cut out, the more uniform it will be)!

If you want to get rid of display brightness issues, just switch to Dynamic, as the 'blacks' in Settings would be even blacker, to the point where it doesn't really light up as it uses the OLED technique of showing true black.
