I find the calibration is a tad bit better than JB. Can't confirm with proof though as it just looks better from a users perspective.

Question on display, please

Sorry, on a black background you can see the glow of the light bulb as to form a stain?
I would not be just my problemi

It looks the same as every IPS monitor ever.
Great color, great brightness, but mediocre blacks when viewed from the side
If you mean light bleeding or bad panel uniformity, yes most (if not all) have that.
R: Question on display, please
And so the infiltration of light from the top of display is normal?

Yes it's normal on IPS screens. The degree that it "infiltrates" varies between devices. my First Nexus 4 had backlight bleeding that was more obvious then the replacement device I have now. The replacement's back light bleeding is barely noticeable.
I've owned various devices with IPS screens
Asus Transformer TF101 (I've handled about 5 different devices)
Asus Transformer Prime (handled about 3 devices)
Asus Transformer Infinity(handled just the one I owned)
LG G2X (Had multiple replacments)
Nexus 4
Nexus 7(handled 3: 2 32gb HSPA+ and 1 16gb Wifi)
All had some light bleeding to a certain extent or another. Some being much worse than others.
I have a RMA for a 3rd Nexus 4 (The one I have now I love, hardly any backlight bleeding and everything is great except there is this one dark vertical line from top to bottom of the screen that you can see on white/gray backgrounds. My original Nexus 4 didn't have any of that)
If my 3rd has worse backlight bleeding than the one I currently have I might just deal with the dark line on the screen on white/gray backgrounds on my current device as that's the ONLY thing that bugs me about it.

Yeah I do find the screen colours washed out and too much red compared to the colours on my Asus PB238Q or my Xperia T. I might try to modify the colours with the franco kernel app.
I assume you're comparing it with the HTC One with the Nexus 7. Don't do that. The One has newer tech while the N7 is using much older tech and such. It has less ram and a slower CPU than the One. The colors of course will be slightly different. You havent seen washed out colors until you see a fully stock Nexus 4.

It really is an apples and oranges comparison. You're comparing LCD to S-LCD, 1.2 GHz Tegra3 to 1.7 GHz Snapdragon, and 1 GB RAM to 2GB RAM.
so i've been playing and it's fantastic don't know why i waited so long to get one.

Better colors on 4.3?

Was watching a review of 4.3 and the reviewer stated this version of Android seemed to really improve the colors/calibration of the N4 screen...
Anyone else notice this as well?...
°N4°
Yes its a known change that happened in 4.3 where they adjusted the colors.
I still prefer custom colors but it is definitely a improvement from 4.2.
Yeah I feel it's ok in my eye and I dont calibrate it

It's better for me... And screen is much more brighter now.

Same, they look mostly the same to me. Not great anyway, even if there is an improvement.
Look somewhat better...
I was taking some pictures yesterday and then held up my phone showing the picture I just took side by side with the real scene, the colours were very close.
I'm guessing a new thread is required for every single detail about 4.3 then?
I mean, it's not like there is a DISCUSSION thread for 4.3 out there already.
Oh, wait, there is? Hehe, silly me, right?
Looks better for me, screen is brighter also.

Wouldnt matter to me as i always flash franco anyway
Colors are the same for me as they were on 4.2.2, I don't see any difference.
N4, stock 4.3 + franco
I counted 7!! 7 threads about the same topic= OS 4.3!! Just, why would you do that?
same colors for me. no difference.
Placebo??
It's like a common syndrome in the iOS/Apple community. Every time after an update, people will tell you that "safari feels snappier"
I compared cloros on a device with 4.3 and 4.2.2 side by side. With same pictures displayed. I didn't notice any changes. The only changes I've noticed was by update from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2.
I don't know of its because I'm using to using franco.Kernel with custom colour settings, but when I briefly used 4.3 I couldn't see any difference.

I loaded up the new N7 wallpaper on my phone (4.3) and my wife's phone (4.2.2), both N4's, brightness at full and at auto. Findings were... They were EXACTLY THE SAME...
So, yeah, no difference... At least to my eyes.

Android 4.3 camera problems (2 so far)

Hey guys,
am I the only one who's not entirely happy with the new camera in Android 4.3.
The first thing i noticed is that many of my photos seem to be a little more washed out than they used to be.
And the second thing: Whenever i take a photo sphere with my N4, the corresponding location is not saved to the picture. No matter if location is turned on/off in the photosphere settings.
Does anyone have an idea for fixing these issues? Or at least for the second one? Or have you noticed similar behavior?
Thanks in advance
I don't have those. For me the camera seems taking better pictures than 4.2.2 and flash seems stronger. But I think camera has become a bit more slow in starting.

I noticed the washed out pictures as well compared to 4.2.2. 4.3 has too many problems. I reverted it back to 4.2.2.

I noticed the wash pics too, 4.3 isn't a big jump, only the colors and touch drivers.

You check these washed out pics on other monitors? It's probably just the colour on your N4, not the camera.
^^ nope. Its not the screen colors. I used PA 4.3 version which has screen calibrated colors.

something I said offended you or unusual?
I trade pics with my wife. She has an HTC One X. Pics she takes that look good on her phone don't look as good once they are on my phone. Pics that I take that don't look so good on my phone look much better on her phone. Colors are more vibrant on her phone no matter which camera was used and colors on my N4 do look washed out no matter which camera used.

I had the same problem with the missing location. Just go to Google settings and enable location access for Apps under the location settings... After that the camera stores the location again..

Nexus 7 2nd generation FHD display

I got mine today from Amazon uk and I must say that I am a bit disappointed from the screen. I watched many reviews and all of them were talking for one of the best displays out there. Well they probably haven't seen Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 super amoled + magic. I will post a video later on with both devices playing a trailer from imdb.
Don't get wrong here. I love it but it just can't display black. Period.

I compared the display on mine with my wife's iPad4 with the retina display and I think its just as good if not better than that. Plus at this price point you cant go wrong.

I couldn't agree with you more. The Galaxy tab was retailing at 700 us while the nexus a fraction of that. However the amoled display on my "old" Sammy tab 7.7 is out of this world. The black and the color reproduction are just stunning. I was used to that display and the gnex looks to me a bit washed out. Other than that is is really great.

I suppose he is talking about the colours?
They are a little bit washed out and the white is a bit yellow when compared to my nexus 4 that has francos gamma settings applied.
However, when gamma controls are ported to the Nexus 7 the screen will look great with some tweaking. :thumbup:
Guys you do realise this screen is one of the few ones actually calibrated in the factory at two different stages and that the colours are accurate. What you see in the unfortunate Samsung models etc is a screen just with ridiculously saturated unrealistic colours. You guys need to train your eyes to see real quality...

400% saturation doesn't make a good screen
