So my wife got me the SM-T230NU for my birthday (end of September.) The screen quality isn't as expected. Seems like when I'm trying to read basic black text on white the screen is very grainy looking and hard to read. I went into Accessibility, changed the contrast size to medium, and manually adjusted the contrast. This seemed to help a little. In addition I seem to have, what I would say, is a lot of screen bleeding towards the upper right hand corner. No biggie, most devices have some. Unfortunately though what I just saw really concerns me. While doing a software update, it was on the black recovery screen with the android. I saw a smudge on the screen so I went to wipe it off. When I did so, about a quarter of the way down dead center, the screen started to flicker in an area about half inch tall and quarter inch wide. So I kept touching areas all around it and basically anywhere I touch on the upper half of the screen causes this. Have any of you ever experienced this before? If so, do you think this means that the screen is bad? I was going to just call Samsung but I wanted to see if anyone else had this on theirs. I couldn't find anything on Google. Thanks in advance!!

Am I the only one who sees a pink color on the screen if the screen is tilted at an angle? I checked a floor model at Best Buy and didn't see any coloring.
If you take the device, rotate it so the corner with the clock is facing you and then corner with the Google voice search button is facing away from you and then tilt the device so you're looking at the screen in a sort of flat manner (but it happens much before it's flat) the screen turns pinkish. It also occurs when you do it from another rotation, same angle.
It sort of kills the quality of the screen since IPS is known for good viewing angles. It's a B6O, the floor model that didn't have it is a B7O.
No problems here with pink screen. Really though if you have to flip to that angle to see it what's the big deal? It's not an angle you would normally have the TF at to use.
I'm not the kind of person to whine about small things. Like I said in the first post it happens much before the tablet is laid flat. If I'm holding the tablet in a normal position and begin to turn it left or right the side of the screen that I'm turning it to turns pink. This is not a abnormal position for the tablet to be in. If I'm not directly in front of the screen it turns pink even if it's a little bit to the left or right.

Call asus support.. i would.
You're holding it wrong.
Couldn't resist
(It's probably just you, never noticed it)
Hi guys, sorry if this has been posted, tried searching and couldn't find anything.
Anyways, I want to know something about the phones screen and I would like to conduct a little test.
Could you hold your phone in front if your face and turn the phone to your right (as you would if you wanted to show someone the screen full on who was sitting on your right) and look if the screen inherits a blue tint. Repeat this but to the left and see if the screen inherits a yellow tint.
It is seriously noticable on my device and I want to know if it is just me. Thank you.
P.S. I have had my phone for around a week and the bottom 1/3rd still has a slight yellow tinting. Any idea is this fades or is this just a dud LCD?

I have the same tinting effects when I angle the phone, it's noticable but it doesnt really bother me.
This has already been confirmed...mine does it too.
+1 another one here. It is a slight tint though nothing to worry about or notice, unless you are looking for the tint.
The viewing angles on this phone aren't the greatest if that's what you're getting at :/
Not sure if it's an issue or just the way IPS is or just my eyes.
There are faint lines going across the screen. Well, not really lines, more like weird phasing or something happening.
The lines run from right to left (or right to left lol) if it's in portrait mode. Top to bottom if in landscape mode.
Best words I can use to describe it are banding/phasing. Never seen anything like it.
It happens all across the screen all the time. Maybe it's just the touch sensor layer I am seeing ??
Didn't notice it in the first one I got but I didn't use it much (returned it right away, stuck pixels)
Any ideas ?
Honestly, I noticed this too... I have two thick lines I can see that is most prominent in the settings menu, with the grey gradient... it bothered me, so I exchanged it; lo and behold, my second unit had the same thing.
Quality control with Nexus devices is amazing...

Yes I noticed this awhile back too. While it annoys me I'm not in the settings menu too much so I try to forget about it
Hey what's up!
I have a problem I do not know if it has been asked before (I certainly have searched and have not found anything).
The fact is that since last week has appeared a tiny speck in the upper right corner of the screen and gradually has been extended, as you can see in the picture.

A part of changing the LCD, do you know any solution? I tried the video colors and it seems that instead of improving, it has worsened.
Thanks!
Sooo, was wondering if anyone else has come accross an issue like this. I received my LG G6 yesterday, brand new out of the box. While watching the Stranger Things title sequence on Netflix last night in a dark room with brightness turned close to max, I couldn't help but notice a red "smudge" like artifact on the screen (see picture). Strangely enough, the smudge almost goes completely away when applying pressure to the screen above it, and becomes very much more visible when applying pressure to the screen below it. Also, it only seems to be visible on a black background with the brightness ramped up above 65%, and disappears completely with any other color. So strange..
I remember back when the iPhone 4 came out, there were complaints of a yellow smudge on the display of many units. Apple mentioned that it was caused by some sort of bonding agent used during assembly of the phones that had not yet fully dried, and that it would go away after a few days. I wonder if this is also being caused by something like that, and if I should wait, or just ask for a replacement ASAP. Thoughts?
