True Blacks are Grey (ish) - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have noticed in the dark when using my note 3 in the settings menu the bottom portion of my screen seems to be grey not black. At first I thought maybe this was a software issue so I took a screen shot and zoomed in. When viewing the photo zoomed in the entire screen is grey ish with lines (normal lines had on all amoled screens) When moving the image the greyness does not move which to me says its the screen. However! When using a pixel tester and putting a pure black picture up the screen is perfectly black.
Ideas or thoughts?

That's the way Touchwiz and Gingerbread was originally designed and Samsung kept it this way. This is completely normal and is the software. It's not an issue. It is the same way on my Note 3,Note 2 and Galaxy S II.

thank you very much.
please try in LCD Test(*#0*# in Diagnostic Mode) select RED you will see a white border but on my device left-border is green (other sides are OK).
It's very hard to be absolutely sure on red, but on blue and green the edges are definitely all white.

I loaded your JPG onto my Focus and the left side is green. The left side is always green, but the right side and even the top and bottom can also appear green if you hold the phone at certain angles. The green can also appear purple at extreme angles.
Is this a manufacturing flaw, or just a characteristic of AMOLED screens? Could it be some sort of back-lighting source that's located along the left edge that's causing the green tint?
I loaded the picture after downloading it and then attaching it to an email.
It does have a strange tint on the left side.
I then created my own version of the image. I started with a 480 x 800 blank image in Photoshop. I filled the entire image with black at 100% opaque.
Then I stroked the outer edge with 1 pixel of white. I repeated this using 2 pixels and then 3 pixels. As you can see, it is still visible at 3 pixels, but it is starting to turn white. I think we are seeing a consistent result that means the AMOLED screens have a slight design problem that is not considered to be worth holding back this technology from the market. I know I like the display and this is minor.

Matrix of Dots on the Screen

Hi Everybody,
I got the HTC Desire HD from a time, just i am asking about something
There is a matrix of dots which is visible under the screen in certain light conditions (when the Screen is off), I know this is the Multitouch Matrix and this is normal
but i have other Grid of Dots on the surface of the screen itself, you can see it when you illuminate the screen and there is a white background for example or any solid color, is this considered normal
what is this other Matrix
Note : this one appears on the surface of the Glass of the Screen, I also noticed it on HTC HD7 but it was very strong than the Desire HD Case
What is this Matrix
Thanks
If I'm honest I think it's the exact same matrix of dots...
If I close either my left or right eye, I can't see it any more, but when they're both open I can see it, though it flickers between alternate dots.
If I then tilt the screen then some appear and some disappear. i think it's just the white background playing tricks with the eyes. They appear red to me also...
I think it's the same one, just looking a bit weird because of the backlight...
There are two layers/arrangements of dots. A grid of dots about 1mm apart and a grid of dots about 5mm apart.
you should see the matrix/diagonal lines on the screen of the Archos 101! very visible at any angle when screen is off

[Q] Background ghosting

I have had my nexus 7 for around 3 months now and have noticed that there appears to be a frozen image of the white elements of my home scree that are slightly but permanently visible. It is quite faint but I have noticed that things like the digital clock, and the white notifications are always visible. Sometimes even with the chrome Web browser get stuck being visible on the home scree. Is this a problem that others have and is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
does it appear while taking a screenshot? if not, its the pixels burnt into the display if you left the screen on the same picture for too long.

screen artifacts in camera mode

hey
when I go in camera mode there are 3 screen artifacts, one blue one green and one red, they are about 4 or 5 pixels in size and are spread out across the screen.
when I take the picture and view in gallery, the artifacts are not there, so clearly they are not an issue with the censor.
When I view a picture or a solid screen, the screen looks fine so its not a stuck pixel or problem with the phones display.
this leads me to believe its an issue with the camera app, does anyone else notice this??
Wut?

Open a completely black image. Download a solid black JPG from google as your test. Do the same thing with a completely white image.
Look at those images in full screen mode.
If there is burn in (which CAN happen on an LED screen, though it's actually pixel fading rather than burn in) you should be able to notice it with this test.
If you see fading in the white image, or general non-uniformity in the brightness, it's a sign of fading. (burn in)
If you see a ghost image in the black image, then something is wrong. It means the screen is lighting up when it shouldn't be.
You should not be able to see a residual image on a black screen like you used to with an old CRT computer monitor. The burn is doesn't work that way. What happens is the pixels lose some of their brightness over time. It's subtle, and if the screen is fading uniformly you probably won't notice. But when 1 spot isn't fading, you notice it quickly. This is most commonly seen with the status bar. If it's always black and the area right beneath it is always colored, then the black status bar wont' fade and the rest of the screen will.
