[Q] Problem with light bleeding (kind of) at the right of the screen

Anyone else noticed this issue ??
There is a spot at the right (in the red circle ) which is quite brighter.
This is noticeable only in bright backgrounds (white websites, market etc..)
You can not notice it at all on black or other dark backgrounds (youtube app etc..)

Mate, you should look at the screen on the Transformer in a darkened room.
Believe me, that's lightbleed, but not as we know it.
Search youtube for asus eee pad transformer lightbleed issue and see what I mean

I returned my first A500 because it had really bad light bleed. I guess that's what you would call it, but its like the opposite of the other tablets blight bleed complaint, noticeable on white backgrounds but went away with dark ones.

Either way, if it's a fault which spoils your enjoyment of the product then it's not acceptable in a product at this price point.
I returned 3 transformers with the same issue before I got pi$$ed off enough to ask for a refund.
Take it back if you are not happy and email support, they will only know about a potential issue if people are scrupulous about quality control.

I have the same problem so I took the a500 back to best buy for an exchange. The geek quad guy looked at the tablet and told me it is normal and refused the exchange. According to him, there is a light bulb that runs across the screen and the bright spot is the result of close contact between the bulb and the screen. He said that I could either return it or keep it but no exchange. His reason, once the tablet is opened, it can't be sold to other customers and he does not want me to end up return the exchanged tablet which will hurt the company's profit. I was like, sure, the iconia is the only product in the store and by the way, you should be an employee of the month for looking after best buy like that.

I really have noticed this issue on every device i ever held in my hands !!
This must be some general problem.. !!
How about everyone else??
i m really surprised that only a few people reported back on this issue !!

My screen does not have this problem. Maybe your screens are too tight? In fact my Asus netbook does have this problem, (kind of), because it's backlit by LEDs.
Does anyone know what the backlighting is on these Iconias? Did anyone take one apart?

I also noticed this a bit when I was doing some pdf reading with the tablet vertically oriented. Pretty much the exact same spot, but it sounds like it was manufactured that way by the responses of some of the other people on here.

Same problem here at the same spot. Pretty annoying when reading e-books for example. Is there something we can do ?

Yellow screen ?

Hi, i have one question for n4 owners.
When you look at your phone like this :
Is the screen look a little bit yellow ?
I hope is not a problem, juste ips technology :fingers-crossed:

410 err on the photo but it's probably uncured glue
if so, it'll fix itself unless you constantly overheat your phone (benchmarks and games)
>90% of the time it'll fix itself in a week or two,
it happens with the first batch or two of every phone launch because they didn't have enough time from screen production to sale for all of the units to fully cure.

When I look at it in line of the bottom left corner the screen looks a bit yellow. Every other corner is fine. Its not a problem it will work itself out in a few days.

I don't know if it's a glue problem.
It's look like screen problem :/ but i want to know if others users have same thing.

Yes bottom left and upper right you too ?

I am having the same issue, but i do not need to look from that angle. I see the yellow tone in the options menu just looking directly in front of the phone during normal use. Mainly in the left bottom corner but most of the bottom part I would say.

I'm assuming this is the nature of the screen technology. Mine does this looking at it from the bottom left or top right corner.

Y es i have this problem, and the colors where off, i think the gamma value is high. I hope an update because all have the yellowish screen, i dont think is glue for all at the bottom on the screen.

Mine is like that too

could you upload a bigger pic, or someone else? my htc one s looked super cold when viewing from the sides lol. that's do to amoled though.

Mine is like that too same angle, every other angle is perfect. i think its on all of them.

I didnt have this issue and i ran couple benchmarks. I did heat up slightly and the scores sucked

So you think is gone because of heat ?

I order mine, but im waiting for shipping, when I get it, i will turn on and then I'll check the angle and I let you know if this is natural.

I have the yellow tint too if I hold the phone diagonal en look at the surface.

Bleu tint web you look opposite no?
Someone know where contact Google ?

Mine is yellow tinted regardless of angle. I'm hoping this is incurred glue, obviously.
I compared against my Atrix last night & it's very obvious.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

If I was to buy the phone in a couple of days would the yellow tint issue be solved as the phone would have been unused stock for a good week allowing enough time for glue to settle?

I'm having problems with my screen as well. Black levels are off and everything has a yellowish grey tint. I have an Optimus G next to it on the left so you can compare, as both of these phones use the same panel. Both phones are on max brightness.

this one has a blue tint even without touching. I admit that's little. But i'm trying to understand if it's something that can go away with time, or not. in case we can send back this and get another new one...
edit: the phone has never fallen. He opened the box, turned on the phone and noticed the blur some minutes after

i cant send it back i already broke the glass im not so lucky as you but atleast i can have clear whites from viewing straight.. you should defy send back

why you can't send it back?
Anyone can tell me if i can rma the phone sending it from italy? I know that the replacement would be send to the UK address of my friend. But can i ship the broken one from here?

i think that maybe it's a "burn in display"...anyone can help me?

LCD doesn't have burn in issues like AMOLED or Plasma screens. It's either a minor defect (i can't see it in your pics) or it's a group of stuck pixels. Download an app called, "display tester" and run some of the screen tools. This will help you identify what the issue is and may resolve it with the tools in the app. it' important to keep in mind that these types of screens will play tricks on you. for some reason they have odd hues at certain angles.

i've already tried with an app called dead pixel detect and it didn't work. I can assure that there is a little blue blur on the middle right side of the screen ( i know it's difficult to see on a photo). I will try with "display tester" and let you know!
thanks

Update: ive tried with display tester...but i cant see dead pixel. I link you another photo of the display with grey background.
The blur is on middle right side of the phone

I'm confident you have stuck pixles or a damaged LCD. you can try to fix the stuck pixel by running an app for it, but typically it takes 24 hours or more to resolve the issue. You would have to play the image non-stop until it resolves its self (it might never resolve). with that said, you should try to get an RMA if possible. Google seems pretty lax on the RMAs.

Yellow tint issue on S4's screen

I have this annoying yellow tint on my S4's screen, but disappears when the phone is tilted over 45 degrees. Is this faulty ? Shall I return it ? Or is there a way I can fix the gamma through an app without rooting the phone ?

Mine doesn't look like that, sorry. But I have lag. ):

Is it just in Chrome?
Try Chrome Settings ---> Developer Tools ---> Uncheck 'Enable Tilt Scrolling'

@raqball nope this is found everywhere, even instagram and facebook.

Ah, no clue then sorry..

@raqball can you do a quick check with yours, similar to the one I did and let me know what you get ?

Go to settings display screenmode and use something else other than adapt display. Im currently using dynamic and my tint is gone.
ATT S4 Rooted. Beastin.
4.2.2

I had it on standard all this time (including screenshot) .. Putting it on dynamic gives the same result :

Damn I was hoping it was that because it fixed it for me. Maybe a hardware issue?

@stevehkim I'm not sure tbh .. thanks for the suggestion though. It's quite annoying after I realised that it exists ... Didn't bother me before I noticed it :\

I found an app called Screen Adjuster but its not really efficient.

I had this with my S3 and got used to it. I was told in those forums that this is just how these AMOLED screens are made.

My display is perfectly white though... Side by side comparisons between the Note II, Microsoft Surface RT (perfect white display), and a Sony HDTV. My S4 beats or meets them all.

Can you post a picture comparing your screen to a laptop's screen ? I just want to see how different it looks. Also, do you suggest I return it to the store and get another one ?

I would return it rather than regretting it later. It defiantly doesn't look right.

Acer 24" LCD Monitor vs S4
I'll do one of my Surface or TV later.
I made a Pure White image to use for testing on the S4, use it instead of Chrome which uses a grey color in it's UI and for some reason the S4 screen brightness dims on Chrome automatically (and you can't change it). Download it if you want to do comparisons again.

Red tint on the screen

I got the Red tint s8+ its worst around edges. Anyone here having the same issue? :crying:

Sorry to hear about this on your new phone.
There is a thread about this here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/red-discoloration-samsung-galaxy-s8-s8-t3591325
Samsung have advised that using the RGB sliders within the settings may help resolve the colour imbalance. Try this perhaps? And let us know if it works for you?

i tried the RGB sliders under settings and it helps a little but i have to move RED sliders all the way down. Something is definitely not right here.

My 8+ does and it's nasty. Very annoying. I'm calling tmo tomorrow. It's not noticable when you look at it straight on. When you tilt it to the left and tilt the top meaning looking from the bottom.

My screen is red, very noticeable. The slider helps, but it's only available in Adaptive mode, which isn't my preference. Pretty sure I'll be exchanging mine

You can be the judge. I've attached what my S8+ look like next to my s7 edge. I am not sure why the iphone camera makes the s7 so green but the s7 edge is perfectly normal and has the best whites.

Mine is fine. I did turn the red down a bit to make the white point (color temp) more white. Damn my S6 was warm. Always thought it was white, lol

Starting to feel better that I didnt get the S8+ now...
Least it seems on my S8 no red tint luckily.

Im getting red tint too around the edges.
