Hi,
I do have an issue with the screen of my SGN :
When the display is dimed at maximum and with grey backgrounds, horizontal lines like shades (in portrait mode) are visible.
It's almost like the screen were dirty.
Is it a special thing on amoled screens ?
Am I the only one with that ?
Thanks in advance for your reaction.
And sorry for my english, I'm french...
My galaxy S had this my GSII had this even worse. It's samsung amoled design...

I have a SGN and I'm afraid I see the same thing. It's primarily on grey backgrounds...but sometimes is slightly visible on white backgrounds as well. Annoying....but the screen is otherwise brilliant. I suppose this is the price we have to pay...but I don't like it one bit ..
search the forum. There are threads about this and other display issues. You are far from being alone. I have sent mine back for this and other screen problems.

Yes, also present on the note... it is only viewable when you dim the screen and have a gray background. For example if you use the ScreenFilter app you can really see all the artifacts and lines. I don't really see this when you have full brightness.

Not got a replacement yet.
I've had two SGN's with these problems so far. The first one I ordered and the replacement I got. The first one I got even had dead pixels and dust behind the screen.
I don't think I will be getting a third one. Samsung really sucks at doing quality phones free from any defects. Just reading the threads about the SGN here on the forum shows that the screen is not the only problem. For an example, the physical buttons stops responding randomly and the note can't play some videos properly while other more older and cheaper phones can... I'm disappointed with these problems and I'm currently using my iPhone 4... Which works without any problem, but unfortunately doesn't have a 5.3" HD screen!!!!!
Since the Groupon deal tablet is beginning to ship, I am wondering how the tablet is going for everyone.
I bought one, but it hasn't shipped yet.
Also, does anyone know if we are able to get warranty from Squaretrade?

Mine is in great shape, physically. Looks brand new.
I do have some issues/questions about screen quality, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it being a refurb. There's a very noticeable dot effect with text and at the edges of images. Like you can see the pixels or something. Almost as though I'm looking at the tablet through a screen door. I don't know if this is expected and people just don't notice or don't care, or if this is a defect.
I just received one in the mail. Looks brand new only thing I know is that it had been on for 32 days
Just got mine a couple of hours ago. Looks brand new. I was nervous because it was the first thing I have ever purchased from Groupon. So far it is great. Came in a sealed Samsung Galaxy box. As far my screen goes I think it looks great and I went to best buy to compare and they look exactly the same and run the same. Make sure you register it you get all kinds of stuff free like 50 bucks to the Samsung hub store ands 25 bucks for Google plays store among other things.

In bright light with the screen off and turned at an angle I can see the pattern that your describing but that is the Wacom digitizer but I don't see it any other time.

The tablet so far has been great. No issues or defects that I've been able to detect. I was also able to get all of the Samsung Promo Freebies. I haven't really looked into a Squaretrade warranty. Odds are that its going to fail in the first 3 months if its going to fail.
One of you will probably receive one of my 4 tablets I had to return to amazon! Going on topic though, I don't think you should be seeing any pixels at the edges of letters.

On mine it says it has been up for 30 days.

That looks like a dead pixel and you should not have that. I would return it and ask for replacement if I were you.
You can download some screen test apps from market to test different colors to see if your screen got some problems.

To Do a Full test on your Note whether Refurbished or new you can do the following simple test to check all aspects of your device
Just DIAL on your dial pad *#0*# , and do all required tests.

No, they're not dead pixels. It's the entire screen. Just something weird with the pixel arrangement. I checked out a Best Buy display model and it had the same thing.
It's most noticeable around text and edges of images, but even on plain white screen (like a white background in the browser or an app), you can kind of see it.

That`s not a joke , 2 of the 3 Note 2014 variants have dial pads, the P605 & P601, which is the one i own.
Only the P600 being the wifi version which seems to be yours doesn`t have.

Is it going to be visible when you capture screen and zoom? I didnt notice anything on my P605. I tested it with this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yota.screentest
And didn't see any discoloration, washouts, light bleeds and weird pixel arrangements on every test.
Did you try it?

I have the same issue and have captured it in this picture:
(Ensure you are zoomed to 100%.)
You can see that the aliasing around the black text looks great, but the green install button just looks weird and pixellated. It's not terrible, and it only happens for certain graphics/text, but it's still kind of annoying. The RGBW stripe may be the culprit here; despite having a lower pixel density the true RGB stripe of my girlfriend's iPad Air really does look superior.
To answer OP, my tablet is physically like new. I had pretty bad lag even after installing the software update and restoring to factory settings, mostly evident in pulling down the notification shade and scrolling in apps. I rooted and put CleanRom 2.0 R2 on and it's seriously night and day. So freaking fast now. Overall I'm extremely happy for the price I paid.

Mine looks like new and performs great. Took forever though my shipment was delayed 3 days by a 3" snow. I watched the tracking say out for delivery 3 days in a row, only to see a weather exception later in the afternoon. Finally on the fourth day they delivered it. Great deal but I'm shocked at the price of movies at the Hub store that $50 is gonna go quick. Sent using my new Note.

What have you captured? Looked at in person mine's fine and no different than my N3 (second pic). The moiré created by the camera and light reflecting off the N10.1-14's active digitizer's matrix makes the pic look like crap but I see nothing funky at all on the display directly.

That green box is an excellent representation of the issue. It's almost like it's got a dotted border all the way around it.
But honestly, I think on that whole screen, the pixels (if that's what the issue is... I get the whole ppi, not being able to see individual pixels at a certain distance bit) kind of pop out at you. Not sure if it's because it's a still image and is relatively close to the screen or what. But definitely mostly noticeable around that button and the line green line below it.
Hello guys...I think my nexus 6P has pretty bad viweing angles. It is exactly...and I mean exactly like in this video.
http ://youtu.be/XhEC4dE5XHg
Is it normal for amoled screens? Is yours the same? What should I do? I love this phone...but this is concerning me. I am waiting for your answers as I do not know if I should Return this one and ask for a new one.
Update 1: do you think a tempered glass protector will make a difference? I am about to apply one but if my unit is defective Ivwill wait until I exchange it
The viewing angles for me are crap. If I tilt it upwards the screen goes completely pink/purple. Left and right give a rainbow tint. I don't notice it 95% of the time though

Do you think this is like a common thing? Or are we unlucky and most of the screens are better? It also pisses me off a little...otherwise i love the phone...but idk if I should ask for a replacement or not. I might also get a screen with a worst effect so that is why I am scard.
I think all screens are the same. Samsung kept the 100% ones and gave Huawei the 2. choice samples. If you use a higher brightness, it´s not really that bad. I´ve seen worse screens eg. in a Samsung Galaxy SIII where you could spot the glue marks..

Funny enough i am coming from an s3 and had no problems with the screen on that one. I had to choose between the 6P and the s6 edge plus....and i chose the 6P cuz I saw that the edge plus had a really loose home button and I didn't want that. I still want the 6P more...i just really fell in love with it...but I do not know if I should try and rma it...
Is your also the same?
It's very common. There are several threads on here about it, lots of people affected and some having to return their phones 4 or 5 times to get one they are reasonable happy with.
Mine was really bad especially at angles. I returned for a refund. I couldn't be bothered to return it multiple times. Also I was annoyed that Google was ignoring my emails about it.

I really do not know what to do...also...if I should try another 6P or not...I am kinda afraid cuz at over 60% brighteness...my whites are actually whites instead of the pinkish whites i saw on this forum...at 100% even with adaptive they look really good. I am afraid I will get a unit with really bad uneven screen. I will try and post some pictures in a bit
It's frustrating. Like you I had an s3 and the screen on that was great. It didn't have bad whites or bad viewing angles and that was years ago

I have the exact same feel! What would you do?
You might get used to the screen, don´t worry The Nexus 5 ( 2013 ) had a different type of screen where you could see the digitizer matrix if you looked close enough I´m happy with my Nexus 6p though it´s slightly warped now. The phone is great but not very sturdy from a mechanical point of view.

What do you mean when you say "warped" ?
I will post shortly some photos of the screen. Please let me know what you think
Okay....so here are my photos
It's an amoled. I've 4 s6. 2 10.5 tab s . 8.4 tab s and now a 9.7 tab s2 and there all the same. So it's not a defect . It's only wrong if it has a very noticeable hue or is uneven in colour. if it's even and has nice whites don't risk it
It's a shame because I love this damn device besides the crappy screen angles. Any slight deviation from straight on give me a bluish hue. Sad because the colors are so vibrant. I have played a bit with the saturation settings in Franco's kernel, but the color temp doesn't go high enough to tame the warm whites as much as I want. Just got my phone this past Monday and am still on the fence about an RMA. I just got the phone running where I want on CATA with Franco.

Okay guys...this is my screen. The brighteness was at less than 50 and more than 70. Most of the shots were taken with adaptive brighteness on. The photos where the screen is really bright were taken with adaptive off and brighteness at around 90%
What do you think, should I try to replace it with a new one or do you think the screen is good enaugh? Would you keep it?

That's looks like a good screen to me. Very uniform. Keep it . I would be chuffed if mine was like that. I think we become obsessed when first coming from Lcd or Ips screens but our eyes adjust and we end up realising that we have a good amoled or not. that comparable to the whites on my Samsung S6. And it took me 4 s6 phones to get a screen this good
Thanks a lot for your reply! You made me smile a little and feel better about it . When you say "that comparable to the whites on my Samsung S6." you mean that you compared my screen to your s6 or? I also think the screen looks kinda okay...getting just a little pink when I change the viewing angle...and then green if I move it a bit more. That's why I am saying I think the viewing angles are the ones bothering me. my screen also gets kinda pink...but when I get the brightenes all the way down and I am in adaptive mode. does that also happen on yours?
Hello everyone!
I saw lots of posts on the internet about the nexus 6P having dome sort of tint either pink or yellow. I do not know if mine does that. I mean looking at it straight it looks ok. But my problem is that at the slightest tilt of the phone the color change a bit to something a little greenish/bluish. Also at big angles the screen has a rainbow effect that i didn't notice on a s6 edge, for example.
I do not know if this is normal. It is a bit annoying because having the google keyboard which is a greyish color when i tilt it a bit it gets a little greenish. Is that normal? What should I do? I checked the manufacturing date and it is in Octomber.
The model is a 32GB Graphite.
Best regards!
Anyone?
That's amoled screens for you
It looks kinda weird. I checked with a friend's s6 edge and we t does not act like this. Mine is like...white...tilt it right greenish...tilt it left...greenish....tilt it a lot on either side...rainbow. Is an amoled screen supposed to do this?
Yes I bet your friends s6 edge has it to some extent or in a different colour. I've has 4 s6 phones 2 tab s 10.5 and 1 tab s2. They all have it to a certain extent. Some worse than others but a slight tint is the best your going to get
I have the same issue too on my 6P! And I also happen to own an S6 edge, just like you've mentioned, the Samsung phone had no color shifting. I don't really think an AMOLED is supposed to do this.

I think you should ask for a replacement. My unit seems to be not as bad as yours. I only get that color shifting at higher viewing angles.
I think your obsessing and looking at it too much try another one

I noticed it on mine immediately. I had an s3 and it never happened on that so I'm not sure you can blame it on amoled. Also, it was so bad in mine, it took away any advantage of having amoled screen. It was worse than any lcd screen I had in recent years. I returned and got a refund.
Too bad, 6P is a great phone.
I'm shocked to see no one mentioning this, I can only think of Erica griffin's review for the s6 edge.... the s6 edge had the same issue and unfortunately the s7 edge has it too :crying: , the display has one fatal flaw in my opinion , there's very visible color shifting on the "edges" you can see very visible blue lines on the each side of the display, where the glass is curved , it's VERY apparent on every app with a white bakcground like the browser, calendar, messaging app :crying:
Doesn't it bother you? For me it's an absolute deal breaker :crying:
Doesn't bother me. I OCD about things, but that wasn't one of them.

Curved glass will always reflact light. Light changes direction, leading to a change in color due to the change in waveform.

It's physics, how can you be upset about this?
Sounds like you need to get a regular S7 then. I have an s6 edge and I've never been bothered by it and it certainly won't stop bothering me on the S7 edge.

The think is I really like phablets , I have a nexus 6p currently and I don't want to wait for the Galaxy Note 5 , the s7 edge specs are already perfect, perfect size, I hate that I obsess about certain things, but I cannot unsee that color shifting
I don't know why are you calling it a fatal flaw, maybe you don't like it, but it's not a flaw, stop trying getting attention,buy another flawless phone so now you know why nobody is talking about it,the problem is in your head sorry
What color shifting?
I think you're seeing things.
Like others have said, it's physics.
Plus Erica Griffin's nit picking has become more annoying than informative. I stopped following her a long time ago.

Wait, are we talking about the slight "blue" on the sides caused by the fact that on each side it is tapered? Ummm, that isn't a flaw, it's physics like many have stated here. I nit pick over many things (I packed up and returned three 65" UHD TV'S in 2 weeks over "minor" issues.) and I can't understand the point of this thread. It is not a color that is displayed or "lines", it is there because the shape of the screen changes so obviously so would the appearance of anything being displayed on the edges. Wait, does the OP even own one? Pretty sure the solution in not getting an edge variant.

Relax. Erica has relented and even called it a "feature" in one of her vids. She has accepted it...I hope you find the will to accept it also. Stay strong.
I didnt notice the blue lines till reading this thread. You have to look close to see them. Not a deal breaker screen is still gorgeous.
Erica needs to use devices to tell you how good the screen is I use my eyes. She's always nit picked on previous amoled pentile screens even tho the only way to tell it was a pentile screen was using a magnifying glass!! Most people including her said amoled screens are the best especially when comparing side by side to other phones but she still complained about something that isn't visible with the naked eye. As for the s7 edge.. It's a curved screen.. If you think the curve is a flaw you should get the s7. The curv will always have that "flaw" when the phone is looked at from a certain angle.
S7 has the best display of any phone. Measured. By a professional:

Due to the way the glass/touch-lamination is done and due to the polarization filter, ALL phones so far show some shifting when viewed at an angle.
Regardless, S7 has the best display right now that money can buy.
You can always opt for a crappier display, like the one on iPhone (tested inferior).

That's not what I said :/ , I just said she's the only one mentioning it, I just said it's a deal breaker for me, then again I am extremely picky and susceptible to those things because I'm a designer , I spend hours trying to fix sharp edges, looking at screens and so on ...
