I've noticed some slight screen discoloration on my LG G2. The discoloration is about half way down on the left side of the screen. It's a very slight yellow crescent shape of discoloration. It looks similar to the discoloration my iPhone 4 experienced. Has anyone seen this issue with the G2 screens?
I contacted Verizon and they are overnighting me a warranty replacement. They also reached out to LG, who claimed this is not a known issue with the device. I just wanted to make you guys aware, as well as see if anyone else has experienced this. I'm not too familiar with LCD technology, what could be causing this discoloration?
Unfortunately I cannot post pictures because I am a new member, but I wish I was able to show you all what I'm talking about. It is VERY minor, however, I can still see it an it is bothersome to me. I figured I should have it replaced considering it's no charge to me and I don't want it spread... if that's even possible?
I'm starting to question whether or not I want to accept the most likely refurbished phone Verizon is sending me. It seems the yellow has faded slightly, although it becomes more present when the screen is on for longer periods of time. I guess I just have an irrational fear of getting refurbished electronics, like there's going to be something wrong with it or it'll develop problems down the line. I guess I should just take the refurbished phone and call it good enough, this way I don't keep looking for the yellow discoloration every time I use my phone... yea, I'm that neurotic about perfection.
Screen Discoloration
My LG G2 has a similar discoloration, orange in color, on the right edge near the top. I have a replacement on the way.
I don't have a screen protector or a case on my phone. No water/moisture exposure, no drops, no extreme temperatures, etc.
Any idea what might be the cause?
I've got the exact same problem I tried seeing if doing a normal restart of the phone would help which hasn't and it doesn't appear in screenshots and it's also happened recently about 1/2 way down
I'm on my third G2 (in 9 months) with this problem. Few of the staff in the Verizon stores have ever seen or heard of this problem.
I'm probably going to change to a different phone.
Hi guys, ive encountered some information that mostly the COLORED BLACK G2 is having more issues than the WHITE ONE. report from an LG service center saying that most of the returns and having defects are the BLACK ONES.
im not sure about this, can someone enlighten me with this? is there an LG expert here or an LG dev maybe?
thank you

Someone's seriously pulling your chain...
punch him hard...racist service centre..we are all G2.. doesn't matter black white we are all the same inside
Let's see, the black G2 is more popular than the white which looks too plastic. In some countries only the black G2 is available. It gets hotter when left in the sun. Yes, I can see why a service center would see more black G2s.
I have the Verizon LG g3 and when I compared it to my LG g2, on white backgrounds the g3 screen is clearly more yellow or warm compared to the g2. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Do you think it's worth to try to exchange it for a New one?

The G2 was actually too blue, as are most phones. True white is slightly creamy to most eyes. Most people are used to white being Titanium Dioxide white they use to colour plastics, cosmetics and ceramics, but that is actually blue.
However the G3 is a bit too yellow, it may fade over time, sometimes it does. I rooted mine and adjusted the screen temp a bit.
The screen on mine is too yellowish for my taste, will get an exchange device tomorrow, if this one will be as yellowish, I will return it immediately and go for another device.
I don't care if the G2's screen is too bluish or whatever, I really liked it's display, but the G3 screen is to dimm and "warm"

Could you post which app/setting you did this with?
I loved the "cool" display of the G2. That G2 is still my favorite phone. Even having the G3, I miss it. Still my favorite display also (color and temp wise).

Just got the replacement, sadly it's display is even more yellowish, so it will go back too the next days, will get a used G2 instead and wait what this year will bring on.
Really sad because I really like the G3, but can't stand the display...

I used Trickster MOD and set the colours to 238,238,255. Its still a little a warmer than my G2, but its no longer beige! Slightly yellow is right for whites, but my G3 was almost brown!
Now I just need to fix the back light, its too dark on auto.

Really sad that people are too used to wrongfully calibrated screens. I even rant to LG with straightly opposite demand a while back http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2299888 and seems like they listened and made a right decision to calibrate G3 perfectly. Their OG Pro had too blueish display around 8000K with almost green yellows, my eyes were bleeding
Not too sad I guess, as white on the G3 looks like there is a yellow screen protector on the screen...
Next thing is that the yellow screen in combination with its low contrast just looks awful.
But everyone has a different taste, so it will look nice for a lot of people, but not for me...
And by the way, why is it so many twin threads around here? Wasn't it better to discuss pro and cons of G3 display in the already existed and full of comments thread as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782251 ? I think it would be more proper and lead to more constructive way of discussion

Hello dear Xda Forum Members,
two days ago i noticed a annoying Issue about my LG G2, im very worried and sad because the LG G2 is a fantastic Smartphone with a Monster Battery Power. Every time i tap on display it looks like i would tap on a TFT screen. I dont know how to explain it, the display do waves like i would press my finger on a led screen while its on, it look a bit like waves.
I asked in many forums now but no one noticed that kind of this problem yet. Its the second LG G2 where i noticed that problem.
Mostly i noticed it on darker background or some games and 100 percent screen brightness.
Sorry but my english isnt that good, i hope you guys can help me.
Thanks in advance

Yeah I'm not getting any ripples at all, on any background or brightness. There's something wrong with your phone if it ripples that easily. Maybe there's something in this thread that can help you
Ok thank you for your answer, the link helped me. I will RMA it tomorow.
My screen ha flickering issue, but it happens only sometimes. If I swype on the screen, or touch it it goes away, or it gets better. It is a bit random. Do you have any idea what can couse this? It is really annoying
Hi All,
I know that there are some topics regarding to ghosting/screen retention etc. What about now? Is it still safe on the long run for the users, are you experiencing the screen ghosting like on the G4, G5..??
I want to purchase this phone, but on the G2 i had screen issue.. G3 luckily no issue, G4 burn in/ screen retention, G5 burn in/ screen retention... So can someone give me some advice, is this still a problem on this devices?
No burn in so far. But that usually takes a while for it to show only had mine for 3 or 4 months so far
I had the G5 which had serious issues with screen retention, purple spots when screen was hot, etc.
The G6 does not exhibit any of these.
You can buy it without problems

Exactly, well it is a nice phone and it is 2-4 years proof..
What the hell are you talking about? I have the G2, G4 and now the G6. I don't have any issues like that.
unfortunately even the g6 has that ! but its not as bad as the g6 ! its not even noticeable you can see it only with white colours in certain backgrounds (grey)

It's a common problem for LCDs display, G5 was the worst because display was not perfectly mounted, on G6 there is way less retention
No problems on G6, even after the full day of usage on highest brightness settings. This Quantum Dot display is beautiful btw.
I got the screen retention problem after 2 months of use but it was gone without me doing anything after 10 or 15 days
