So I just bought a brand new LG G6 a day before, and on the very same night after charging my screen showed pink hue/tint around the edges of the screen. It was very visible, specially on a grey background, so i went on to download few lcd testing apps and it was showing prominently around the edges.
I just turned it in for replacement, they said i should get it in 2-3 days.
Has anyone else faced the same issue ?

I have a glass protector on and I get a slight tint if I tilt it a certain way from the reflection bouncing off the glass protector but that's it really.

That seems harmless and common in LCDs I suppose, mine was like a proper pink shade around the edges.

Yeah it be due to refraction or similar. Not an issue but if you had a protector on it might be the reason.

have you guys notice small gap between the glass and the silver plastic rim around it,visible only on bright environment..
i've noticed this on the first day. My friend said he read something about this on other phones to. I'm guessing its because of it being glass. It is design to protect the screen so when you get a bump on side it will not break the gorilla glass. I think

Might be true, maybe its for design purposes, in mine its only noticeable on the top area, but when using the phone normally you will not notice it because of its black color..
It's generally used as a seal to keep dust from entering the phone.

Silver? Mine is smoked grey metal

Yeah i just noticed it on mine. Wonder if we should be worried about the screen popping out of the frame or something. The gap is more prominent on the right side of the screen when looking at it. Top and bottom has no gaps. Hmmm...
Mine looks like it has an equal amount of gab and some dust that settled in.
its made like that. like what someone said above, its to protect the edges of the glass from shattering.
The glass on mine is a bit off centre, cant see it unless looking right at it in light.

I had the same glitches. Down and on the left side of the screen. Got the screen replaced by Samsung. The frame and the screen is stuck together from the factory. Now it sits really tight.

So is it a factory defect then? Unit seems to be working flawlessly though and no screen glitches
I noticed a tiny little gap on the bottom most part of my screen and the frame. It's not very visible, but it seems to be collecting a little bit of dust.
I never noticed it before reading this thread.
I have the weird faint type of stain or smear goin down in the screen on the left side its real fait u mostly see it when brightness is low on dark backgrounds sometimes even when the brightness is up i didnt see it when i first got the device i flashed alot of roms and kernels and went to stock a few times could that cause it ?

I have something like that on my screen that I noticed today. Put my sunglasses on and BAM there it was. Whatever it is, I kinda liked it lol. Had an interesting 3D look to it.
I'm still running stock, I thought it might be my screen protector.

I am pretty new to this forum & i got my N4 last week. Should i really use a screen protector on this phone? I never use a screen protector on my phones as i believe it kind of ruin your touch screen experience...
Well I don't have a screen protecter on mines the front is gorrila glass 2 so u should be good its the back u have to be careful with but idk what this stain is or where it came from kind of annoying

If you put your phone in your pocket you should have a screen protector on it. Anyone that says otherwise is wrong. Sand and dirt can scratch your glass, gorilla glass or not. Get an SGP and it won't mess up your touch experience all that much

Darn it, I got the same never noticed until now, had the phone since November.
Starts a few cm's from the top and goes just over half way down the screen on the left hand side, and it's not a straight line. As you say it's only noticeable on darker screens.

Wrong huh? Never had a screen protector on anything with gorilla glass. I work for a railroad and my job could be dirty at times. Guess where my nexus 4 goes, yup in my pocket. Guess how many scratches are on my screen, zero. Luck? Maybe. Product doing what its supposed to? I think so. Best part about it, I'm anal about my electronics. The screen protectors mess up the screen images pretty bad, no matter how good the screen protector is. I had a gs3 once and dropped it clear on its screen onto pavement. Not one scratch. Your luck may be worse than mine, take my experience lightly because others luck may run thin. I will never buy another worthless waste of money that diminishes the experience of the beautiful screens we are provided. Now with that said if you find that you must absolutely have a screen protector, the last one I bought was for an atrix HD/wet application version for my wife. Installed properly by steaming out a bathroom, being absolutely certain there was zero dust on the screen and following directions to a T that thing was absolutely invisible and clear as day, with zero orange peel, it still changed the appearance though.
Hey Guys! Just wanna share this problem. After removing a cheap screen protector on my nexus 4 i still have this pattern - the cutout on proximity sensor and on the camera. I tried scratching it with my nails but there is really no more residue, the surface is flat but the feel on the screen is different on the sensor or the actual glass. Did I remove a coating or something after removing the protector? I also dropped a small amount of alcohol trying to clean it and observed that it follows the pattern. Check out the pictures please. Thank you very much.
What does this mark feel like and how hard is it?

I couldn't describe it but you could barely feel the difference between the real glass (proximity or camera or edges) and the area covered by the screen protector. It seems It'd never be removed. I tried tape, alcohol, scratching it, none worked.

Mmmm, I assume that the residue has absorbed into the Gorilla Glass which is really bad in many ways...

Either that, OR it has peeled off the oleophobic coating with it. OP, Do finger prints stick more than usual?

I thought the term oleophobic is for the steinheil SPs only. Is it really possible? What could possibly happen? Well I cant say, I immediately put a screen protector on the device right after I got it.
i'd say the oleophobic coating just rubbed off completely around the screen protector, mine has a slight problem around the sensor and front camera cut-out but it can only be seen if there are fingerprints on the screen and you know what you are looking for. i think it happens because of sweat/skin oils.
Hey basically I've got quite a large but thin scratch on my screen and I have no idea how it got there cause I haven't touched the screen with anything sharp only my finger and the s pen.. So I'm sure it's the s pen that made the mark, but does anyone know how to get scratches out of the screen or hide them? Cause it's really annoying to look at when on a black screen or when the screen is off in the light, also does anyone know a way to prevent the phone from getting finger print marks and smudges off the phone? When I go outside and use my finger on the screen it gets kind of sweaty sometimes and makes annoying marks on the screen is there anyway to prevent this?

perhaps some screen protector would solve your issues!

It's there for life unless you scratch and buff out the whole screen or replace the screen.

Sadly, I think the scratch is a permanent thing
I had a similar occurrence years ago with a bit for debris - probably sand - getting on a stylus and scratching a phone screen.
I wonder if a screen protector, particularly one of the glass ones, would help?
This is exactly why i think gorilla glass is over-rated. I had a light scuff on my screen by day 3 of owning this phone and the only places i leave it are in an empty pocket or on my desk. I bought a tempered glass protector and it covered it pretty well but still pretty bothered about it.
I dont think the rubber tip of the s spen could scratch a gorilla glass lol. The only thing you can do is put a screen protector on it. Over time you will just forget about the scratch underneath. I had this happen before. Never again will I go unprotected on a $700 investment.

Cheers for the replies lads anyone got any idea for a great cheap screen protector that will cover the screen and not lose clarity?

I'm I the only one noticing there are some pretty obvious light bleed going on if looking at the phone from the side? I never had any edge device before, so I'm not sure if this is normal. I don't really notice it at all if I'm looking at the phone straight, only when I'm actually looking at its edge. The effect is even from the left and right side.
Sorry for the crappy pic, I already returned my JOD note 5 to Tmobile, so I had to dig out a real old LG optimus F6 with its crappy 5MP camera... reminds me of how much smart phone camera have came along..
This is my first EDGE as well, but it looks normal to me. The edges the light has to be pointed upwards and with the glass being curved it cause more light to refract and build up so it looks "worse" than it really is(At least that's how I saw it).
I'd guess that due to the curved glass, the glass would refract the light causing it to look like this.
Afaik an amoled display can't actually leak light since every pixel is actually the light rather than an LCD where it uses a backlight. Instead as others have pointed out, you are just seeing the refraction caused by the curved glass and the way it bends the light being emitted.
Ahh physics gotta love it ?
This is not a bleed
Because the panle is on the edge and you looking at it from the side so tge light will be direct .

great point. I forgot all about that.
Yup that's normal. All previous edges had the same.

OK guys have any of you got light coming from between the screen an the metal frame ?
Negative I do not.

I notices this the other day especially on bright white screens the edges between glass/aluminum frame bleed light thru. I have this on my wifes S7 edge as well as mine.

OK cheers good to know it's not just mine. Seems a bit odd how water resistant phone would allow light out in such a way if light can get out surley water can get in.

If I had to guess, this is most likely not light leaking through the crack, but rather just some light thats being manipulated by the curved glass and reflected onto the metal where it meets the glass. At least that's my best theory.

I wish that was the case my friend. I first thought that so I taped the sides of the screen to block the light and still comes beaming through both sides.
If light is bleeding thru the cracks does that necessarily mean its not water proof anymore? If so we have a big problem as both mine and my wifes phone has this issue. Although we aren't dipping our phones in water or going to test it out, its nice to know that they are indeed waterproof.
Take a photo. I'd like to see it.

Well what im referring to wshouldnt be affected by tape. I mean the light essentially uses the glass like fiber optic and shines out onto the top of the metal.
Taping it off wouldn't effect this since the light we would be seeing is essentially in the glass still.

Just go to a white background on max brightness and hold the phone flat and look at where the glass meets the metal at like a 45 degree angle from above. You should be able to see it sort of lit up.

That's light passing through the glass and not any type of gap. Taping off areas isn't going to affect the light reflecting through the glass.
