After over a month of usage, I just noticed backlight bleeding in my g4 plus. It goes away if the screen if off for a while but after watching few videos and games it starts to show up. It not much, just on the left and right edges. Its a common issue with lcd backlight displays. Should i be worried ?

Anyone else seeing this?
I could have swore that on my first Nexus device (RMAed due to bad speaker), I could turn the brightness all the way down and use the tablet on the lowest setting.
On my new Nexus (no issues so far), if I turn the brightness dial all the way down, the backlight totally shuts off, causing the screen to be impossible to be seen.
I'm not RMAing this one because it's perfect otherwise, it's just very weird behavior
I got the brightness on mine all the way down & the screen isn't off.

Did you find a solution?
I have the same problem. If I turn down to minimum brightness (10% or less) my screen goes black. The only way I can see what's on the screen is if I shine a light, and then I can barely make out what the screen says. I assume this is an easy software fix. Also, if auto-brightness is on and I'm in a dark environment the screen will occasionally dip to the lowest setting and turn off.
I'm on my second device also. My first one had bad screen lift, flickering and occasionally screen glitches with black lines flickering through the screen. This one had no noticeable screen lift out of the box, but I'm reserving my judgement, as the device I just returned was fine for the first few hours and then got worse as I used it more.
I have both devices side by side, since Google mailed me the new one first. Comparing the two, I notice the old one's screen is slightly brighter, maybe about 10% or so, but definitely noticeable. Also my new one has a little bit of bleeding on the left side; not terrible as some pictures I've seen, but definitely there.
Update: The screen flickering returned, so I just requested a second replacement. This is actually ridiculous.
Hi
Just wondered if the Screen Adjuster app poses any risk of damaging the S4 screen after a while? My phone has a noticeable yellowy green tint which makes photos and videos appear slightly green. I downloaded the Screen Adjuster app which lets you adjust the red green and blue sliders and it reduces the yellow tint (although it doesn't work when playing videos annoyingly).
I have seen on other similar apps the developer putting a warning not to use the colour slider tints on OLED screens as it damages them, so I just wondered if I always have the Screen Adjuster switched on whether I am damaging my screen in the long run?
I suspected that my tab 4 7.0 had some backlight bleeding and I just confirmed it using the "Backlight Bleed Test" app from the Play Store.
For those who want to test their own units, simply download and run that app. It will display a black background and also boost the brightness level to 100%. If you do this in a dark room then you may see the white backlight of your tablet shining through some of the edges or corners of your unit. If you do see this, then your tablet has backlight bleed.
When I testedTab 4 7.0, I found some bleeding on the bottom left corner. (I tried taking a picture of it but couldn't get the lighting right). In my case the backlight bleed is not too severe, but it bothers me to know that it's there in the first place. I'm wondering if all our units have this issue, or if some are better than others...
So...does your Tab 4 7.0 have any backlight bleed? If so, how bad is it?
Problem caused by samsung book cover!
I found out the problem caused by the samsung book cover. After I took out the tablet from the case the discoloration disappeared.
So now the question is, if is it a normal if you push a bit the bottom of the tablet, there is a severve discoloration (it' s easy to see on black background and higher brightness).Anybody else got this with tab 4 7.0? I don't now if is it a individual problem or not...
Hello,
When I checked my phone today, I noticed that on left and right side of the screen, backlight seems to be different than on the rest. This causes screen to have different colour on the borders, like a little bit brighter. Is this a common problem? Anybody else had this issue? Any way to fix this, or should I replace the whole panel?
Mine has screen bleed as well. And every P8 that i saw had an amount of light bleed. So the chance to get a new screen with same screen bleed is high..
Mine has a little in the bottom left corner, unnoticable though unless I install the Backlight Bleed Test app & run it.
I was going to ask you to post a screenshot to see how much BLB there is on yours (would've posted mine too), but it doesn't show up in screenshots.
Hi xda, i am experiencing purplish screen drag when my OP5 is at low brightness ... E.g. when i clear recents one by one, i notice a purple drag effect from the current-moving app in the direction of its movement .... Well, put simply whenever something on my display is moved anywhere, a purplish drag is shown when its moving... At high brightness the screen is fine .. i noticed this 2 days ago .. the same was problem with my old Galaxy s4 .. my cellphone isn't faulty .. its working fine just this glitch ..
My screen is like a slug, who moves front, leaves a trail of mucous behind and then that catches up ..
Nothing weird , all the standard OLED panels in smartphones or TVs have this behaviour at minimum brightness
Only low-persistance OLED panels with high refresh rate (like the ones you have in the VR Headsets) are free of this problem
