no answer???
I am no pro with screens, So i may be wrong, but it looks like it has been either burnt or had an impact with a sharp object in that area of the screen, return it for a new one, hopefully they will replace it.
Looks like the LCD definitely needs to be changed. It looks like it's burnt or either a reaction to a magnet but I'm not quite sure what can cause that. Costs can vary but directly from LG will cost you parts+labor+shipping. Check if that Orange spot still register when you touch it.

Options: Send to LG to get it fixed (probably costs more than $100+ depending), sell it as is and get another phone (won't get as much for it with the spot) or keep it and use it as is since it still registers touch (spot might be a little annoying).

hmmmmm :c you are probably going to have to replace the screen yourself (cheaper) or live with the yellowness
I've got some yellowness appearing along the top right of the screen. Its barely noticeable but its likely to get worse over time.
From what I can tell, it seems to be related to heat/warmth. Its winter here and after a walk outside, the orangish patches pretty much go away. They appear more intense when sitting on my desk next to my laptop (right near the vent).
Same problem
Same thing here... Same location and same color.

Hey there I have the exact same problem it also works when I touch it.. Its the exact same size same shape and on the same place on my screen but the opposite side it's an LG g4 though it seems to have happened right after I dropped it the first time without the case(first day I took case off too lol.. I'll send you pictures if you want to email me I don't know how to upload pictures here I never had these problems with my g3 but they all seem to be common with all LGs[email protected]
Wow. I didn't notice until today but the status bar icons and time are showing signs of screen burn-in. I didn't even know this was possible with LCD screens. I can clearly see them with a dark blue full screen wallpaper. This is absolutely horrible.
Check yours too, people!

I tested with a blue screen. Phone is 4 months old. I don't have any burn-in screen problem.
Ive noticed it few months ago, and ive never used brightness more than 50%..

Not many believe so, but there's no problem getting burn-in on LCD. It's harder than OLED of course. Just look at the commercial LCD screens all over town and you'll see a lot of burn-in's...
The thing im baffeled over is that you managed to get burn-in on your phone. That means you have your screen on A LOT...

its display problem guys i had it 2 months ago..i showed it in service center nd got screen replacement since i had warranty.. u guys should do same if u have warranty and make sure to show them those pictures cause that problem doesn't always appear on screen.. sometimes it disappear..
Yeah, it's been ten hours guys. My phone's screen has been off for 9.5+ hours during this whole time. I can still see it.
It's also easy to spot when I pull the notification shade down. That's just... Horrible. I bought mine online so sending it for a replacement is out of the question. I can't live without a smartphone for a couple of weeks (minimum time with such grievances).

AFAIK lcd's don't truly get burn in but they persistence which should eventually fade. I'd imagine a defective screen is something acompletely different though.
It's usually ghosting on LCD. It should be reversible. Maybe play some movies or something.
This is kind of concerning and sad to hear. I traded my Nexus 6 for a G4 because I didn't want to deal with burn-in anymore (Moto X 2013 user). I hope I don't ever run into that problem or that the warranty covers it.
Same problem here... I just bought my G4 3 months ago...
i had sadly the same problem and made a tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/screenburn-t3152109/post63428991#post63428991
Solved just by sending it back 2 my provider
(i had the device for 2 a 3 weeks) so i got i new one
Got to say, I've had my G4 since May 2015 and have no screen problems.
Just picked up a used LG G4 off Craigslist yesterday, guy had it for a month and was proven from Sprint themselves. Have been noticing screen burn or whatever you want to call it. Can notice it when you pull the notification panel down, and you can see a red tint.
This sucks lol! I'm trying to screen-burn tool off the playstore and will try it for the full 8 hours it says tonight and report back.
Bought my G4 June 05 of 2015. Keep the brightness at a steady 80%. No sign of burn in at all.
It bootlooped to Hell but no burn in.
SAME HERE!!!
It is possible with LCD though , I have SOny Xperia z2 before , but it never have such issue , so when i got my g4 and got this issue at first i thought it was a defective unit. So , i replace a panel under warranty , but then the problem appears again then i realized its the quality of the panel lg used. Lg need to fixed their panel really seriously as it happened since G3 .Now with the LG G5 having the always-on features i believe that the problem would be more serious as with 30 minutes non-stop screen on time with current G4 already appeared such issue, imagine always-on for G5.......
If you turn the phone off can you still see anything? If so it's definitely burn in or something like it. This is news to me, I thought LCDs were immune.
I got sensitive touchscreen problem, ghost touches, burn-in and now bootloop. Now to sent it repair, buy a new smartphone to wait it come back, get it back, see it's still not totally fixed, send it back again. This phone is **** ?
Dropped the phone, boohoo, glass shattered. lcd works fine and so do all touch areas. But the home button and back button do not work along the bottom. My overview/panels button still works.
So what do I need to replace? Will a simple glass replacement/Digitizer on eBay for about $10 restore function to the home and back button?
(as a side note - I think I can root the device + install permanent on screen action buttons right? The free stuff from Google play isn't cutting it)
happened to me a few months ago, I bought full lcd + digitizer from alliexpress. I believe it woul be very hard to separte the display from the screen/digitizer
Good to know they're available. I somehow got a tiny corner chip on mine (no idea how). Thankfully it's small and low enough that it doesn't affect buttons or screen.
Would this basically be it?:
Seems pretty simple as long as I can get my hand on a heating gun.

Yeah that is the one you need
That same seller sent me a message after I paid for the screen, he told me that there was low stock and it will take them about 6 days to restock, I decided to cancel the order and buy it from another seller but it was the same story, there was no stock and it took them around a week to send the screen.
I placed the order on Jan 03, the screen was shipped on Jan 09, and it was delivered on Jan 16.
My phone on stock rom has an issue where the left edge does not work. LeEco said it was a known issue. I literally cannot seek a YouTube video to time 0:00 because it stops responding at about 0:14.
Do you have any issue with YouTube seeking to the beginning with the new screen?

That has no effect for me.
If it is a hardware issue, I would ask LeEco to exchange it or I'll just replace the screen myself. LeEco tells me it is a known issue that I have. Now I am questioning if others have the same issue as me.
Can I assume nobody else has an issue with the screen/digitizer on the left edge, such as when seeking YouTube videos to the beginning?
replacement experience
Hi all,
For those who have change the display for the x720/x727, Have you found any significant difference from the original display? I need to change mine, and I have seen one on aliexpress. Sorry but I can't post the link because of the 10 post limitation.
It has many reviews, being almost all of them positive. But someone tells that there is no light on the capacitive buttons. I'd want to know if you have experienced this issue. Also, in your opinion, has the replacement the same brightness like the original one? Is as responsive as the original one?
Many thanks.

Hi, i broke my digitizer on pro 3 Gold. Can i buy only digitizer or i must buy lcd+digitizer?
Anyone having issues with ghosting on there v20?? Any fix if so r is it Rom related. In on vs995 weta Rom 5.0.7 7.0
I'm starting to have issues with image retention on mine.
I'm stock unrooted.
I wonder if this is covered under warranty.. it's not super annoying but still.
I am having a curious issue with the second screen. Under bright light or sunlight, the top right corner of my screen starts to flicker. Well, the brightness increases and decreases. At the beginning quite slowly and then at a higher pace. However, when I'm indoors it doesn't seem to happen, or at least not too foten.
I've tried with and without automatic brightness. I have also tried installing Lux and the issue still persists.
What I realised is that the flickering comes from the backlight of the second screen, and if I disable it, problem solved. I might Have to give it a hard reset and hope is not a hardware problem.
Has anyone experienced the same?
I posted something similar a while ago on this topic. On my left side of the screen I could see what seemed to be screen burn or something. It would be a yellowish tint that would display the keyboard and part of a screen from the app. But it seemed to be the same app everytime. I never found a solution, I had to turn the phone in for a different reason. The ffc just stopped working and would freeze my phone up.

I haven't tried to take the phone to see if it can be fixed, but I have done some research and after reading many posts of people having either the G4,V10 and V20 most have been honored under warranty having their screens replaced but the problem comes back, some people claim having their screens more than one time.
I think I can live with it.. I don't wanna risk having the phone scratched or damaged somehow by the person making repairs (I like to keep my phones in mint condition) and I have a Huge OCD problem lol
I think joining XDA is an indicator of having a degree of OCD
Although I'd class mine as low I'd not be happy with the retention exhibited in those pics.
Thankfully my V20 hasn't presented any inherrent problems so far, just the odd temporary ones that happen when modding, but they're soon remedied.
Since @emdroidle gave us root for the H990ds its been great having the chance to open it up and explore more of its potential.

As far as I've read this is just a quirk of these LCD screens that LG uses on their phones. It should go away pretty quick as the only time mine shows up like that is when the screen brightness is all the way or very bright for like 5 or 10 minutes. Mine goes away after 5 or 10 minutes.
Download sfilter from play store activate it at 10 % and image ghosting will go away ?

I was looking into the Warranty as well and just read that it can take up to 4 weeks to inspect and repair a unit, so no mobile for maybe 4 weeks or more and I'm not even sure they will accept the retention as a fault of the mobile itself, but give me the blame for it as there are some minor surface scratches from normal daily use.
So it seems the warranty is pretty much to the bin and reading stories from others about sending there phones with issues does not really make me want to send it back either. Who knows how long, and if declined giving me the blame, what a waste of time it has been. feel like iv Wasted enough time already.
They told me to make a full factory reset, which would of cause not solve the issue at all as I already knew - but I did it and sent the video of the retention afterwards - then I was told to look for scratches and I send them a video and 2 pics of what I could find and now being pointed out that maybe if they find out it is from damage that it just might be send back. Damage... Got to give me a break.
I'm not even sure what they would do with it if they accept the fault - would they begin to toy around with it or would they send me a new phone out of the box.
Is it worth it or not... I'm thinking...
For a +500 Euro phone - retention/ghosting should not happen and yet it does. First phone I ever experiences this issue.
I think I'm on the Whine wagon at the moment, sorry guys - just a little annoyed.

I did ended up replacing my phone, not under LG warranty though I paid 60 bucks to Sprint to get it swapped. I thought it was better than sending out my phone to LG and wait weeks..
Convenience was the what made me toss the 60 bucks for a new unit.
Though a month later I switched to T-Mobile and upgraded to the V30+
They paid the rest of my installments with Sprint which was half the cost of 2 V20's and also got to keep them.
I use my V20 as a multimedia device now.

Nice - seems like I'm not going to get much from the warranty on the screen issue and still not sure if I should send it back as I'm afraid they do something stupid to it. Well, if my phone melted down at some point I would still buy an V20 in replacement. Battery and SD card is just a win for me even with all the phones faults. Just so sad that LG did not fix a better screen for the V20 in regards of getting Ghosting/Retention.
Anyway - I just tried one of the fixes I found without jail breaking the phone and it does help a little but far from solved the issue at all. I have ghosting/retention all over the screen now and most likely just going to get worse over time as it has from the beginning of it.
I think the image retention is a bug. It randomly happens on mine. At first I thought it was a crappy screen but then it went away. It will even show dark image retention like using xda. And most of my retention around the inside 1/4 of the screen.

Sadly did not work here. Still have ghosting. 20% won't do either - il try 30%.
Ok I was getting ghosting which has been getting worse and wore the past month but in the past 2 weeks its been getting really bad on both displays, ontop of that my phone was dying in 20-25% range and going up to 100% charge just to drop like 10 minutes later to like 50% probably just the battery idk
I sent my phone in and here is what they marked on the warranty page
Symptom: Software failure
Repair: Download new software
I honestly hope they don't think its because I wasn't on the latest version of android because I kept putting it off or i'm gonna be pissed, especially since my warranty ends 3/18/2018 and these 2 issues have slowly been getting worse.
Hi!
Here is a working fix if your device is rooted.
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/lg-v20-screen-burn-fixed-t3661631
so is this an LG LCD specific issue ? I am just curious when I switch phones should I consider AMOLED / OLED or stick with LCD but maybe a different vendor ?

The culprit behind this is low contrast with high blue-output or cooler color temperature. If you are rooted, you can easily tone down the blue channel by a count of 20 (out of 256) and all is good. Also you don't have to use the phone as maximum brightness all the time, the screen itself is way too bright even for the least level.
2ndly, this ghosting is temporary and develops over time of use. It goes away for LCD.
OLED screens suffer from the permanent ghosting aka burn-in, though its coming over time is delayed by quality and improvement of the manufacturing process. Honestly, OLED's have higher saturation, more vibrance, higher contrast which makes them appeal to human eye but it comes at a cost.

Oh cool. thanks for explaining that! I am not rooted... 1. too nervous of causing issues after root .. 2. mine isn't rootable (on most recent security patch)..
so is there anything I can do to help with the blue output?

yeah that seems to be what i've read too... I just typically keep my phones for a while and burn in or ghosting worries me...
I'm looking into getting a secondary device. I'm seeing pink lined S7 Edges or 1/3 of the price of normal ones. How bad is the line? I can live with it but does it mean the display is going to fail or can I use the phone for months to come?
Why don't you check your local phone repair shop how much does it cost to change the screen? And if its worth it, buy it.

That's basically the plan but I want to know how long it will hold up, might be a month or two before I change the screen. Will it be able to get thru?
The problem is that red/green line may appear on replaced screen as well. It's Samsung's fault, I believe.

It's a bug affecting both hardware and software, so nobody can answer your question with certainty.
Regardless if it expands or not, you should consider two things:
1. You will need to replace the whole screen, so even if it expands or not, you will pay the same repair charge.
2. It will not affect the OS or your media files (so even if the screen turns completely pink, it will not affect your files).

Alright, Hopefully it holds up for 3 months or so. The link don't bother me but the screen is bound to go out later I guess.
I bought an s7 edge with optional pink line recently for cheap and it's now stuck in a draw. The fault is way too distracting for me I'd rather have a cracked screen. Unless it's a proper bargain or you can source a cheap screen I'd say avoid.

I have an iPhone using already, I don't think it will bug me that much. I'm going to get a new screen for it in the future anyway. Just want to get one now, maybe I can get it for cheap as people want to get rid of it for Christmas and stuff.
Cracked Screen and Line basically will lead me to replacing the screen in time. Where can I get a screen thou? I normally use iFixit but I think their out of the stock.
i also wondering if this issue will get worse with time? i can live with 1 or maybe 3 pixel vertical line. Any other problems will happen in the future?
i got a good deal for $150 with 2 pixel line, if this phone can hold for a year, im okay with that.
my choice is this phone or a flat s6 with slight burn in.
I read somewhere in XDA land, someone had the same problem, found some sort of pixel (?) screen checker app and ran it, and per report, said it solved the line issue for them.
I had the pink line issue on my s7 edge, bought new screen (250eur) problem solved.
I haven't found anything specific online through searching, but it there any known information whether this pink line issue affects all s7 edges? Have samsung done anything about it in later models? Was it more a exynos or snapdragon thing etc?
I can't tell from what i have read whether all handsets are ticking time bombs for this problem?
Pink Line Issue Reponse

I'm looking into getting a secondary device. I'm seeing pink lined S7 Edges or 1/3 of the price of normal ones. How bad is the line? I can live with it but does it mean the display is going to fail or can I use the phone for months to come?

Within 3 weeks of purchasing my Samsung 4, I got the pink line. Despite it being under warranty, Both from Samsung, Best Buy and the purchased one, NO ONE WOULD TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR IT AND FIX IT! However, I used the phone for 4 years with that pink line. It didn't affect the performance at all.
Hope this helps.
