Hi guys, ive encountered some information that mostly the COLORED BLACK G2 is having more issues than the WHITE ONE. report from an LG service center saying that most of the returns and having defects are the BLACK ONES.
im not sure about this, can someone enlighten me with this? is there an LG expert here or an LG dev maybe?
thank you

Someone's seriously pulling your chain...
punch him hard...racist service centre..we are all G2.. doesn't matter black white we are all the same inside
Let's see, the black G2 is more popular than the white which looks too plastic. In some countries only the black G2 is available. It gets hotter when left in the sun. Yes, I can see why a service center would see more black G2s.
I have redmi note 4g and its a wonderful phn with a grt specs in vry low price..
Even display is gorgeous but there is a problem with my display.. I dnt knw whether its only me or anyone else hv same kinda issue.. Display works absolutly fine ,but " THERE IS A YELLOW TINT ON SIDE EDGES OF A DISPLAY".
Its a gradient yellow and appers mainly on top side edges of the screen.. No its not becoz of some screen guard or some theme.. I even change the whole rom jst to check whether its the fault of the rom or the display.. I even changed colour saturatuon but that yellowish tint never goes. .It mainly appears on white background. I can clearly see whn i go to settings as it has white background ..
I dnt knw anyone personally who has redmi note 4g to check if everone is stuck up with this prob or jst me.. If anyone is facing same issue then plz post here
Is there any solution to it..?? I stay in india (mumbai) and phns warranty is still not void..
Plz reply soon.. Thanxx

Could be caused by moisture. Do you bring your phone with you in wet environment? (eg. shower) In that case just avoid that places in the future (or put phone into a transparent plastic bag, like I do)
Or it could be a hardware related problem. Screen was always yellow from the beginning or it changed at some time?
That could b d one reason.. I use phn in bathroom sometimes too listen music..
I exchanged this phn.. Originally it was of my dad.. So i doubt if yellow tint was from beginning or it appeared now
But thanks anyways.. I will try to keep in plastic to get rid of moisture.. And wil tel u if this prob gets solved or not

I know I am replying to an old post. But, there isn't any other thread on this matter.
I've got the same issue. I will try to remove the screen guard and check.
yellow tint appear in my phone also when the phone was delivered on 24 Jan. Even old MI 4i and Red mi Note 3 screen are clear and white in comparison to new Redmi note 4. Highly disappointed,made every setting/test updated the phone and also provided details to Mi Service for replacement. MI service although acknowledges the yellow defect but they are not replacing as per replacement policy EVEN WITHIN 15 HOURS OF DELIVERY. Yellowness is defect.
Very bad experience from MI SUPPORT.
You can compare new Red mi note 4 with Mi4i and will feel difference.
Very poor MI service in terms of replacement of note4
Hi guys,
Anyone else notice any uneven screen backlighting? I read forums on the v20, and when reading back text on white background - while scrolling down to read more text I notice dark shades on the screen. I downloaded screen test and lo and behold...dark patch on my screen! I then sent it back to LG and assured me that they replaced the screen module and tested it and all 'voltage' was normal - BUT, dark shades were still present albeit in a different spot!
Can someone here please confirm if this is a normal thing for LG screen as I realise it is LCD backlit and not OLED hence a few bleeding / inconsistency of backlight would be present. Even though I have never experienced this on ANY of my HTC's which were all LCD screens.
cheers guys! sorry for the long post!
Yes, i have it too! H910 variant. Two dark/dim spots that run horizontal from edge to edge. Can be more noticeable/annoying in landscape view than portrait actually.
Exchanged one brand new H910 for another. Same problem. Both manufactured 12/16. Havent had this on any other LG Ive owned (RS988 G5, D850 G3, P930 Nitro HD) or Moto for that matter. Pretty bummed to have this in an $830 USD device.
Edit...seems like the issue can be excaberated by different viewing angles. Also, totally anecdotal, but i looked at my display at a stoplight (wearing polarized shades) and i noticed the screen looked unaffected by the shades compared to other LCDs (cars TFT nav screen, an eIPS tablet, etc) that i have in the car. Wonder if what we are seeing is some type of side effect from a polarizing filter, or maybe lack of, used with this display/panel?
Or, maybe these things are edge-lit and LG used an uneven arrangement of emitters. Not really sure.
Good call...I do think it may be the backlight being edge lit! which could only mean (maybe) the backlight has failed at some spots or LG engineers mis-formulated where to put the lighting. it is very sad to hear that this may not be an isolated problem.
I did however sent it back for repair and the technician advice of a NEW LCD module/screen fitted. was sent back to me the same day!! WOW! BUT...same problem but it a different spot.
If this keeps going I may have to consider a new device altogether!
Then im starting to hear crackling on both earpiece and speakers....but thats a different thread!
arrgg...
I began to notice this on my v20 that I bought at the end of December, at first I thought it was just viewing angle or I messed up the screen. However my mom just got a v20 and hers' has the exact same problem in nearly the same spot. I should add that my phone is an LS997 that is completely stock. Also @D0NZ which screen test application did you use to see the problem better?
I used an app called full screen test...its free and simple. I then took a photo of it with my old htc m8 then sent it to lg for review.
The V10s have this as well. Something to do with the backlight and 2nd screen. Kind of got used to it on my V10. Was hoping that would have been addressed with the build of the V20.

But I still have that unwanted effect even if the second screen is off?

I think so. On the V10 it was really noticeable when the main screen went into immersive mode and the 2nd screen went off.

this to me is a deal breaker! I read a lot on my phone, tis why I got a large screen! If this is the 'norm' for a flagship...
I pretty much think its unacceptable. They produce their own screens and cant get a flagship right? hmm...which phone to replace it with now that is available locally (for me that is down under)
So here are some pics I sent LG originally!

Looking at your grey screen, those bands/dim areas are in the exact same locations on my device (and my prior V20)! It must be inherent to this panel. You said the bands/dim locations changed after LG swapped screens/devices for you though?
Either way, it is a bummer. I'm still undecided if I should return mine as well, or just live with it. Almost every recent device has some quirk to live with it seems. I recently traded a Samsung Galaxy S7 that had a beautiful AMOLED display, but the device picked up scratches (on the display *and* body) like I've never seen before. I even took a look over at the dark side (Apple), and they seem to be catching flak for overheating and camera problems in some iPhone 7 devices. Sigh.
I have it on one corner pretty bad, is this because of the IPS screen and how the frame of the phone is pressing on it?

I think its to do with backlight distribution tbh. Ive had a number of HTC's and NONE of them had backlight distribution issues. Im now wondering IF a 3rd party screen module would be better than the original LG produced? OR...if this is an isolated issue only on some devices. My device was manufactured Nov 2016. Maybe a later produced model has better screens? Anyone with a newer produced V20 care to share?
I think its the placement of the 2nd screen backlight. Ill try to find the thread. Someone with a V10 explained it last year.

Here is the post I remember from the V10 forums that seem to make the most sense regarding backlight being uneven.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64236798&postcount=45
Both my replacement V20 and original V20 have uneven screen backlighting (at least the replacement has a better back cover mechanism). There is a dark spot in the middle of the status bar on white (or lighter) screens. What is weirder is that it is the exact same pattern and location as the first one. It is present in both stock and LOS. I suppose I'll just wait around a year and warranty it out then because I just want to start using the phone. I included an image for people that were curious how it looked.
^
I think I can live with that...as in...the dim sections are on the edge of the screen. Mine was in the middle of the screen which i cannot stand!
I have sent the replaced screen NOT to LG but to the place where I bought it.
They said that the repairer that LG told me to send it to was the last on their system as 'reliable'. The store said that they will deal with the repairer and LG. I kind of hope the worst happens and they just offer me a refund or a total replacement - but I doubt that would happen!
UPDATE: so i sent it back to jb hifi, on the report, they can replicate the issue. On the repairers report - they couldnt
SO i get it back with all the 'test' that they have done on it being to manufacturer's specs.
Which i think now...was never good to begin with
Too bad i cant unsee what i can see...sux...I wonder if AMOLEDs have these issues? Anyone care to elaborate?
I have this issue with my LG V20 -- only when viewing photos
I have this issue with my LG V20 -- only when viewing photos - see photos -- screen has two long bright lines.
See attached photos - lines are not on the photos themselves --it is just in the backlighting -- and the lines are not there when viewing websites or if testing the screen with an test app. Please cut ans paste links to see photos - remove blank area after http -- I can't post links till I have 10 posts on this site - if any kind poster could repost so others can see them that would be great!

...and these lines stay the same even when you enlarge the photo...

I have the same issue below secondary screen. Only noticeable on white background. Doesn't ruin reading books, it's there, but minor. I have dual sim variant. I'd be very upset if I paid launching price. All those things you only find out when you get the device.
Being a big LG fan and owning numerous LG phones over the years, I think I join the community when I say the G5 was a flop. I enjoyed the phone over the last year, but it had many quirks that should not exist for a flagship phone. One of those quirks being screen burn in. I feel it started about the 7 month mark and is only getting worse. What worries me is that the new G6, which I very much looked forward to, has the SAME screen!!!! Isn't burn in just going to be an issue on that phone as well or is there more to burn in that maybe I am aware of such as phone temp, heat dissipation and so on?
LCD shouldn't burn in.
Are you sure you don't have a fault with the display on the G5?
I have read about it in multiple forums. Its possible its a fault in the display, but its not just mine.

It`s not burn in, it`s image retention
I have the same issue. Hoping it's not same for the G6.
I was have same problem on g3, g4 and now on g5. I change screen (g5) but same problem
Screen is "same" so i think problem will be on g6
I had a Nexus 5 for 2 years and never had image retention.
I deliberately avoid amoled, so the last half a dozen or more phones I've had are LCD (some of which the display will have been made by LG if not the phone) and never had image retention.
Even my Sony TV has an LG panel.
The last good LG phone was G2, others had burn in issue, I'm pretty sure that G6 will have it.
I know that the technical name isn't burn in but ir looks the same and happens to every LG G3,4,5,V10,20 soon or later.
PS: I was a big LG fan due G2 but got disappointed.
I had "always on" turned on, on my g6
can confirm the clock has burnt in

Hi All,
I know that there are some topics regarding to ghosting/screen retention etc. What about now? Is it still safe on the long run for the users, are you experiencing the screen ghosting like on the G4, G5..??
I want to purchase this phone, but on the G2 i had screen issue.. G3 luckily no issue, G4 burn in/ screen retention, G5 burn in/ screen retention... So can someone give me some advice, is this still a problem on this devices?
No burn in so far. But that usually takes a while for it to show only had mine for 3 or 4 months so far
I had the G5 which had serious issues with screen retention, purple spots when screen was hot, etc.
The G6 does not exhibit any of these.
You can buy it without problems

Exactly, well it is a nice phone and it is 2-4 years proof..
What the hell are you talking about? I have the G2, G4 and now the G6. I don't have any issues like that.
unfortunately even the g6 has that ! but its not as bad as the g6 ! its not even noticeable you can see it only with white colours in certain backgrounds (grey)
Screen retention

It's a common problem for LCDs display, G5 was the worst because display was not perfectly mounted, on G6 there is way less retention
No problems on G6, even after the full day of usage on highest brightness settings. This Quantum Dot display is beautiful btw.
I got the screen retention problem after 2 months of use but it was gone without me doing anything after 10 or 15 days
