[INFO] Light bleed (theory)

I was looking at some videos online of the TF yesterday and I noticed that most of the people that have the dock close it from the top of the tablet. Being that the dock only holds to the bottom of the tab, is it possible that the chassis is getting stressed causing light bleed? I know there are people out there that dont have the light bleed issue. I am wondering if those people use the keyboard dock or not.
Just a theory

I have light bleed from the right-middle side of the display. It was like this out of the box. No dock (yet.)

I have 7 (seven) light bleeds 2 on the left hand side, one in left top corner, 3 on the bottom and one in the middle on the right hand side, no doc but i've noticed that when you twist the tablet slightly the bleeds getting brighter and stay this way for some time so there may be something in yours theory

My theory is that Asus had to cut lots of corners to get the TF to as cheap as it is and the bleeding and cheapo plastic casing is a consequence of this. :/

Actually, I think it's related to the IPS screens, because the iPad/iPad 2 have had similar light bleeding.

When I dock the tablet, the light bleed becomes more apparent. Yes, the pressure does something, but it can't be fixed either way.

Just FYI. A lot of LED LCD Samsung TV users have noticed bleeding from the sides of those TVs and have fixed or helped the situation by relaxing the chassis screws in those areas.
You can search for more info about it at the AVS forums.

I have noticed this as well... all of the bleeding on mine seems to be more obvious when it has been docked and in use for a period of time. I was going to ask the question to everyone else (if they were also having that experience). I guess I don't need to now.

I've had light bleed from day one and don't have a dock.

Finally decided to test this light bleed thing. Max brightness in complete darkness showed no lightbleed. So, it's not chronic to every unit.

Transformers like yours seem to be the exception rather than the norm though.

just did the same. full brightness in a dark room. no light bleed. guess i just got lucky [knock on wood]

I finally got a TF and the Dock. I used it for about three weeks without the dock and th light bleed slowly started showing up I haven't noticed more or less light bleed when in the dock but I have notice that it is most noticable at the bottom right corner and I happen to be right handed.
I don't know if there is any weight to my original dock theory but the light bleed has deff gotten worse in the last couple weeks

Light bleed

Are any of you experiencing light bleed like the ASUS Transformers are experiencing?

I did with a dead pixel... I called Samsung and they will repair it.

But what about light bleed specifically?

Is the Sammy panel edge lit like the asus?

yes.... check out the other threads.. people are reporting them with lots of tablets. The black bleeds yellow.

I just sent back my Transformer, and preordered this tab. The sleep issues and the light bleed are no worth getting that device. I tried to talk to tech support and they told me to take out the battery. that I could turn it over and pop it out like a laptop battery. Then they told me basically that if I didn't charge it for 8 hours it wouldn't work. ASUS Tech support was a nightmare. Samsung was a little slow with updates to my captivate... But I still love em. If this has a little bleed I wouldn't be too worried with it. It's the nature of backlite LED screens. It even happens on high end monitors and TVs. Until they come out with something else... It's going to be an issue. you just have to keep sending it back until you get one that doesn't bother you... that or turn down the brightness. In order to get it to do it you really need to crank up the brightness and walk into a dark room. IMO that's not to practical for normal use.

Which thread?

I didn't see that black /yellow bleed thing. I would like to see that. I would just send it back.

Light bleed usually only visible in the dark with dark screen backgrounds. I saw a review today on YouTube from mobile tech review and when they show some movie clips you can faintly see bleed lower right and right side.

this is what I was asking about

I haven't seen that yet. Where the colors are messed up like that.

Luckily no dead pixels and no light bleed.

my limited edition tab has backlight bleed and a dead pixel, I wonder if I can even get it repaired or not...

Yes you can...search some of the other threads for the io support link.

Bought a retail version at the Union Sq Best Buy here in NYC, one spot on the screen (less than a square inch) would show "liquid" under the screen when depressed (I noticed it when I was wiping my fingerprints from the screen). Exchanged it hoping to get a grey model,but got the white one again.
Well that one had a slight light bleed on the button left corner and was only noticeable when the honeycomb controls disappear.
Today I exchanged it for another one, and it looks like a keeper.

No light bleed or dead pixels, at least none that I can see. Hardwarewise my tab seems perfect.

Model GT-P7510
Mines the new 32g model and I don't notice hardy any bleed at all on the screen... even after carefully examining the edges and trying to view at angle to see under the bezel I don't see anything I would call a bleed issue. Actually also having an Ipad I love screen on the new 10.1

I have both and I have absolutely no bleed and dead pixels on the GT.
Sent from my badass Galaxy Tab 10.1.

same here, no bleed and no dead pixels. I can actually us this as an snooker reader now. the TV and load don't get dark enough. I read with red text on black. even at fu- brightness there is no bleed.

I have light bleed in the bottom right corner. I noticed it right off the bat. I'm exchanging it tomorrow. Let's hope the next one doesn't have the issue!

Yeah, thought mine was perfect, then noticed in the top right corner there is a spot about 1“ square. Didn't notice it until I booted up in a room with dim lighting. I might go exchange it out.

[Q] Light Bleed? Common issue? Faulty?

Hi,
I have just received my Asus TF today, and I absolutely love it!
However I have just noticed that in the middle of the screen @ the very bottom the light is slightly bleeding out (ie there is a lighter spot on the black bar).
Its just right above the docking point.
Is this a common issue / design, or is mine faulty?
Sorry, its probably a completely stupid question, but I just want to figure out if I should be asking for a new one....

It's a common issue, you're not alone.
Some of us have returned TF's with light bleed, while others accept it.

If you just have one section at the bottom, keep it. Mine had four different areas of bleed.

I have light bleeding but only noticeable when showing pure full screen black picture in a dark room. So its not really a big deal for me ( I guess nothing is perfect). However, I wonder if others have worse.

I have some light bleed at the bottom of my screen in 3 different areas. Its not too bad and i can only see it on a black screen. Its better ecer since i put the sceen on auto brightness

this problem will exist with LG ips screen. :O

Got my replacement from BestBuy today, Original had one bad light bleed and 3 smaller ones. Also had a dead pixel in the middle of the screen.
New one has small light bleed in lower corner, hardly noticeable and no dead pixels.
Now I just need to pick a ROM to put on ;-)

No. No it will not. LG IPS panels do not even have backlights; not inherently, anyway.
I hate when people blame light bleed on IPS. It's not the IPS technology, it's the poor quality edge-lighting

Then it's LG's messed up edge-lit lighting.

Yes, that's probably true. Asus might be responsible for the backlight, or they may have bought it from yet another third party, but it's probably LG's.

Mine has very small ribboning of light at the bottom of the screen, would have never noticed in normal use. I checked my Ipad that I have had for a year and its exactly the same and in the same place, never noticed till I looked for it. Possibly all tablets have LB to some extent if its not noticible in every day use its only a problem if it bothers you looking at a black screen in a dark room

Not all tablets have lightbleed.
Most do, though, because of the form factor basically requiring edge-lit backlights, which are very tempermental

I just received mine yesterday & don't seem to have any light bleed. That is unless I don't know what I am looking for.
My only real issue seems to be with the power button. I have to push it 2 or 3 time for my transformer to wake up.

I have the same issue, 2 spots at the top of the screen. I don't think I ever see it though unless the display is entirely black or at least very dark. If it were much worse I'd consider getting a replacement, however from what I've read on the subject it doesn't seem to get (significantly) worse over time under normal conditions, however excess strain may worsen the effect. Thankfully the TF101 seems pretty solid so I don't think its going to be much of an issue.

Mine has it in about three or four places too, I don't really care about it though.

Sadly I just noticed two spots in the middle of my screen that are white. I do not think it is light bleed but I have already issued a RMA with NCIX on this.
I noticed that it is an issue on Amazon as well....according to this review.
http://www.amazon.com/review/R21G1E2O7DUE83/ref=cm_srch_res_rtr_alt_1
Dammit.
Ah well. Will RMA it and if that fails will get a refund and get a Acer Iconia instead.

Anyone else have screen bleeding?

My screen has been like this since day one. In the pictures you can see brighter back light bleeding from the top center/right, the right middle/bottom, and the bottom center/left. Also, a bit of light shines through the white bezel in the bottom center which now that I notice, won't stop bugging me.
Was hoping it would go away but I got this on Amazon so an exchange would be easy as long as it comes back in stock soon (white 32GB).
Is mine the only one plagued with this? Keep in mind that this is with brightness turned all the way up on a black screen.

Yea I have screen bleed at two spots but it doesn't bother me unless for some reason it starts to expand then it will become an issue.

Most LCD panels, which are backlit, will have some light bleed around the edges. You can return the phone for a different one, but you'll probably have the same issue. It is the nature of backlit LCD panels. AMOLEDs don't have this problem since each pixel has its own light source.

Thanks for the input guys!

I don't seem to have this issue on mine. I can't notice anything like this when I turn on Moto Display. Is there an easy way for me to test this out?

the nature of LCD. one of the reasons I enjoy amoled as well.
Sent from my Moto X Pure Edition

I have this screen bleeding too.
I've got my device yesterday and started "Dead Pixel Test", on the black screen i saw the screen-bleeding.
All my previous devices didn't have a screen bleeding, or it wasn't noticeable like that.

Light bleed

Hi guys I bought a Motorola X Style on Amazon (european version) white 32 GB and I noticed some light bleeding on the bottom righe corner of the phone ( only with black screen and maximum brightness).
I know that this is a typical problem of LCD screen but I don't know if is better to change the phone or not. During normal use this phenomenon is not visibile.
Thanks

I have a blob of light bleed on the bottom left side. I also got mine from Amazon. Seems to be typical with this device. I only see it on black screens. I considered returning but since there is still more demand than supply and it took me three weeks to get this one, I think I'll just live with it.

Mine is the same from Amazon. I may address it at some point but right now too much is right with the phone and their supply is too low.

OK if this "problem" is common to a large part of Moto X Style, i think that is better to keep with us our phones....the new ones should be worst

Mine not only has light bleed but a defective display. There is a light spot in the upper right quadrant. Seems that Motorola(Lenovo), has decided to use very cheap display panels. I guess that is how they can charge the price that they do. Also manufactured in China now, which reeks of poor quality control. Very sad for a once awesome piece of hardware. Next thing you know the radios in these phones will be subpar, which would really be a shame with the Motorola name attached to it. I am a little disappointed in this. I was very excited about this phone and now I am bummed. I am getting a replacement but if to is bad with lots of light bleed, I might have to send it back and take a pass on the Moto X Pure. If the display is this bad, it worries me that the rest of the device will be a piece of garbage in time as well. I want to unlock and root but I have pause as I am worried about premature failure and Moto blaming me for it. We will see.
