Simply put, I accidentally dropped my J3, and now large areas of bright color (such as the white of a search bar) spreads across the screen, depending on orientation, e.g. in Firefox, while in landscape, the white of the address bar bleeds onto the tab count and 3 dot menu, and in a game I play, the large bright blue wording against a back background bleeds across both sides of the image.
It isn't usage hindering as much as it is annoying, and the main thing worrying me is, will I HAVE to replace the LCD, or is it just a small issue that can be ignored? Would love a reply ASAP, as this is the only phone I have with service and if a replacement is necessary I would like to know as early as possible.
That's what happens with AMOLED displays unfortunately. Over time it will only get worse. The best thing you can do is get it replaced

Hi,
weeks ago I have received a phone call during taking a shower, I picked the Trophy, completed the phone call with wet hands and after leaving the bathroom I noticed that water entered the phone; the screen was getting white from the bottom. The phone did not fall into the water, only some amount of water entered the phone (from my wet hands only). After couple of minutes, about one third of the phone's screen (from the bottom) was white. I did not know what to do, but after about an hour I noticed that the white portion of the screen was reducing slowly; it seemed that it is slowly drying. I left the phone until the morning when I noticed that the white portion reduced considerably and then day after day the white portion was smaller, it took about 3-4 days for the majority of white portion to disappear. Well, only the small white spots remained and now they won't go away, it's about three weeks now, they are not getting any smaller, so it seems they will remain.
Could it be that there are only spots on the inner screen (e.g. from shampoo) that should be wiped out manually or is it possible that the screen is broken?
Is it somehow possible to access the inner LCD screen? Do I have to remove the outer screen?
The spots are clearly visible on a gray screen (e.g. Internet Explorer's default tab), in general they are much more visible on the light screens. With dark screens (e.g. black) they are barely noticeable, they look more like a dust and you see them only if you look carefully.
The visibility of the spots is also very affected by the angle at which you look at screen; from some angles they are not seen at all, from some angles they are clearly visible. This is also valid for light screens.
I had no problems with the visibility of the screen when it was white, everything was displayed OK (e.g. I could read text), it was only a bit pale and these white spots now are simply annoying.
Thanks

Same here.
I have the same problem with my nexus 5, was wondering if you found a solution or did the stains go away with time?
I believe its the separation of the glue between the touch screen and the lcd.
Hi
yesterday I saw a light spot (that it's visible only with white screen) in the top-right side of the screen, under the power bottom.
it's visible only at high ° of inclination, if I look my tablet directly (90°) it isn't visible
I don't know how it's possible that, has someone info about it?

It's possible that the Digitizer might not be fully contacted at that particular point in the tab. I have seen a couple of posts about this. This is a hardware/manufacture defect more than likely, or something that happened over time and usage. Considering the location near an often used spot, this is probably true.
I would suggest if you can live with it, then just ignore it.
If it really bothers you, then you can remove the back cover of the tablet, and check for loose connection fasteners around the display/digitizer areas. But really, if you have to look really hard at certain angles, in the right light and color, then I would ignore it. Not worth the trouble.
Hi all...
I have just notice two days ago a grey line on my screen...(left side)
Really noticeable on a grey screen (not for red/green but also present on blue, just less...). I have never noticed this before, despite of being several hours per day on my screen since several monce... No drop....
As you can see, small spots are also visibles, particulary on bottom left side (like "commons" dot on amoled screen). Its like a strip causing a little gradiant on left side (when looking very hard....)
I can see it on screenshot so it's a screen issue...
I saw a lot of thread reporting grey lines due to amoled technology, but i think my case is a little bit different...
Photos of my screen are here:

Thx for your feedback..

If you use your phone a lot in landscape mode, the grey line could be screen burn in from the status bar. I have read about people claiming this can happen (not necessarily in landscape mode.) It looks to be the right width to suspect this.
Of course, i think you're right! I suppose the only solution is to change the screen right? It can be considered as a screen default for warranty?
I'm having a problem with faint horizontal lines flickering across my screen. I only really see it against a gray background. So if I set my wallpaper to a gray or grayish image, or open the image in gallery, the lines appear and sort of vibrate. Then it gets worse when I swipe between home screens, pinch to zoom, or even if I hold my finger just above the screen without touching it. Moving the s-pen above the screen makes the lines even more pronounced. The best way I can describe it is that it sort of looks like the lines that you would see when you fast forward a VCR tape. At first I thought it was a color banding issue but I'm not sure since it's worse when touching the screen and using the s-pen. The lines are just visible enough to be annoying.
Has anyone else seen this or have a suggestion? I attached the image that makes it lines most visible if anyone feels like testing it on their phone. I would hate to take a refurb from Verizon if the problem is present on all Note 3's.
So my wife got me the SM-T230NU for my birthday (end of September.) The screen quality isn't as expected. Seems like when I'm trying to read basic black text on white the screen is very grainy looking and hard to read. I went into Accessibility, changed the contrast size to medium, and manually adjusted the contrast. This seemed to help a little. In addition I seem to have, what I would say, is a lot of screen bleeding towards the upper right hand corner. No biggie, most devices have some. Unfortunately though what I just saw really concerns me. While doing a software update, it was on the black recovery screen with the android. I saw a smudge on the screen so I went to wipe it off. When I did so, about a quarter of the way down dead center, the screen started to flicker in an area about half inch tall and quarter inch wide. So I kept touching areas all around it and basically anywhere I touch on the upper half of the screen causes this. Have any of you ever experienced this before? If so, do you think this means that the screen is bad? I was going to just call Samsung but I wanted to see if anyone else had this on theirs. I couldn't find anything on Google. Thanks in advance!!
