OLED Screen Burn In - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Hey, so I've had my phone for almost a year now and I have noticed many areas on my screen that are turning orange/tan from the burn in that happens on OLED screens. Has anybody else had this problem? Is this normal? It gets rather annoying...

[Q] Blue tint on screen when viewing it from side..

Hello! I have had my g2 d802 for around a month now, and I have noticed a blue tint when I am viewing it from the side.. When I tilt it to the other side it began to be yellow. At its worst the screen is "washed out". So I am wondering if this is normal? Or is it a hardware problem?

Are you able to go to a store to compare your phone with a working display model? I'd check there first to see if the display model has a better screen than yours. Chances are your screen may be defective. You'll know right away if its good or not
Anyone else who is having this? Im just wondering if its worth sending it in for that. Really happy with the phone otherwise, and haven't dropped it either :S
Thanks for all answers!

Yes, I should probably do that. I am around 40km away from a store where I can try one, but I will probably go there and check. I read that this phone had pretty good viewing angles so it might be defective..:/
Just guessing here, but did you come from a Samsung device or any other with (AM)OLED screen tech?
That tech is self illuminating and doesn't exhibit the off-axis effects typical of even the very best LCD displays.
It's normal for a LCD display to wash out and/or color shift off axis.
As to whether or not yours is typical, I can't say.

Ok, might just that the screen is like this. The only solution here is probably just to compare it with another G2 then..

Running on the assumption that its a dead pixel the only way to repair it would be replace the lcd but its seems quite drastic for the sake of one pixel.

The pixel is visible (bright, white maybe?) so it's not dead, just stuck.
And no, stuck pixels are not fixed under warranty unless they cross over a certain threshold (a certain number of them over the whole screen, or another, smaller number if they're all close to one another).
But it's not the phone's fault, almost all screens develop these over time. My old screen had 2 of them in under a year.

I think that is called a screen burn. It happens after a few years of use generally. It means that your screen is slowly dying.

there is an anti burn in app that basically flashes various colors on the screen for as long as you let it go. Kinda works in the same idea of shaking an etch-a-sketch board. How effective it is, i dont know as burn in is ususally pretty permanent.

I had a burn in problem with an old S3. Was using it as a security camera and the screen turned on. I tried several of the kind of apps that youdoofus suggested. None of them made any difference. Sorry.

Poor screen - bandings

Just checked Pixel 2 XL at Verizon store, screen is brighter than last year's Pixel but has banding issue.

Hey sorry but can you explain what you mean by banding issues? Thank you in advance ?
In the fist pic I can see a dim horizontal band just between the paragraphs... that?
...looks more like burn in to me. ...guess you have to be there.

Did they have a demo loop running? I work for tmobile and if they don't have one running, your going to get burn in.. Think of it like a Screensaver

The phone has been on display for less than 12 hours. I don't think it's burn in.

It's not burn-in. This is a known issue with OLED panels. LG's OLED TVs are famous for banding issues like this. It's a simple problem of not being able to supply electricity consistently across the entire panel and some rows of pixels get less electricity and so the OLEDs do not illuminate as much.

keep your screen on with the same image for 12 hours and see if it doesnt burn in
