Hello everybody,
I just notice today that my screen has brighter frame all over the edges. It is not very noticeable, i can even say that it is faint, but it is there. And it it constant all over the edges so is not light bleed ( i know what light bleed is, i had many devices with light bleed) . It is more noticeable on white or light grey background . I think it is the glue that keep the digitizer and display togheter.
The phone is 1 year old.
It is a common issue or is just mine? Ca you take a look at yours a little with a little attetion please?
Best regards.
I attached a edited photo that replicate the issue.
No replies?
You sure it's not your screen protector not sticking on the sides perfectly? The 2.5D glass leaves a "halo" effect when you put a screen protector on.
No , it is not the screen protector , i'm 100% sure.

I don't know how to explain this. The corner of the screen is somehow 'broken'. I am not familiar with the construction of such an LCD display. I thought it was the screen protector....but it isn't, I can see by pressing with the finger that it is BELOW the surface, and it is not a bubble of the screen protector. Also the nexus 7 surface is one single surface, and there would be no reason why the screen protector would lift exactly in that point. It has something to do with the real display, below the glass surface. See photos.
The colours are displayed correctly. Also the problem is not visible on high brightness or lighter colours. But i simply hate it not having everything in the right shape, as much as i hate dead pixels (I luckily haven't for the moment).
Would this be a good reason to have it replaced by warranty?
The device comes from 'Mediaworld' which is a chain in europe (or mediamarkt, in germany). Would I have to remove ROOT before I go and ask?
Hi,
My note 3 screen seems to have a few darker spots when the screen is off. I only see it when viewed from an angle. When you look straight to the screen you don't see it. I noticed it when I placed it under my desk lamp. I am not sure if this is normal or a faulty screen?
Thanks
Same problem

Hi,
Yes I have noticed some small dark spots and some small thin dark lines on my galaxy note 3 screen as well when it is switched off and when looking at it under a lamp at certain angles. I am not sure either if it defective or just the way they are???
Screen Protector?
If you have one it may be causing the dark spots.
If you don't have one, then put one to hide existing dark spots and add new dark spots :laugh:
Hello friend!!!
I ve got the same exact problem with the dark dots and I see them under my desk lamp! Was your phone a defect or is it normal?i be got 3 days the phone and i m so anxious about this!!

Look at the left gap.
Thanks.

I uploaded new pics taken from ipad.
When i open a black color app. I dont see the green or red light at the gap. Screen protector doesnt cover that gap line too. But it did cover the right part. Where there no light bleeding.
:crying:
There seems to be a problem with your screen. I don't think it has anything to do with the gap. Looks like you have an entire column of dead pixels. The gap (if you have it) is about 4mm away from the edge of the screen, so if you did have light bleeding due to the gap it would be away from the edge of the visible screen.
I run the test. No dead pixel. Could it be effect from glass protector?
You can't have backlight bleed on an AMOLED display. There is no backlight.
Hi @ all,
I noticed quite a lot of micro scratches on my phone's display. They are not clearly visible, it depends how the light is shining against the display and on the angle. But I am really disappointed with gorilla glass 5. I own the phone for about 2 and a half months now... I use a case/bumper but no screen protective film but I treat my phone very carefully and it always goes into my pocket without any other things, just the phone. I did the same thing with my older S2, S5 and S7 and never got any scratches.
Is it normal for gorilla glass 5 to scratch so easily? I talked with my vendor and he would swap it for another unit using the warranty. But here comes my question: is the display with the red tint still an issue on new units? Could I risk getting a faulty reddish display? Because then I'd rather stick with my micro scratches and live with it.
Thanks a lot.
Yes, you will probably get a reddish display.
No, it is not faulty, it's just how it is.

I ask this because my display has a good white tone and luckily no reddish tint at all. Is the reddish display still an issue with actual units?

Are you using adaptive display ?
Most displays will show reddish on other modes but white on adaptive.

Yes I am using adaptive display but I had previus units which I returned for reddish display even in adaptive display mode. My actual display is fine, despite some micro scratches... don't know if I should bother returning it again and risking to get a reddish display... don't know if it's worth the risk or just stick with the barely visibile micro scratches. What would you do in my situation?
Scratches are normal. Gorilla Glass 5 traded some surface hardness for more resistance to shattering. Basically, the harder the display the easier it brakes but doesn't scratch so much.
So gg4 was more scratch resistant than gg5. But I'd take a scratches but not broken screen over the other way round...

Thanks for the info To be honest, I really don't know what is worse, having a naked display with some barely visible scratches or "ruin" such a great display with a screen protector. :laugh: I hate screen protective films, these displays are just too awesome and should be enjoyed naked without having the fear of scratching them... I ordered a screen protective film but I don't know yet if I will go through the hassle of putting it on, it just doesn't feel right for me.

I first noticed them in a shop which had very bright and glaring room light. I was looking at my phone while the light was shining directly on the display. It was a coincidence more or less, who knows how long they have been there without me noticing them. In everyday use they are barely to not noticeable at all. Depending on the angle you only notice them with direct sunlight or halogen lamps pointing on the screen while the screen is off. Still, for this price the glass is a disappointment.
I think I found a hardware defect on my phone.
It doesn't affect the functions of the phone whatsoever, but it's a defect nonetheless.
There is a tiny tiny hole underneath the gorilla glass on the black bezel between the screen protector and the case. See attached picture, where the red circle is. This hole is super tiny, I can't see it under well lit room or outside or even in the attached pic. I'm sharing this for the location of the hole so maybe others can check on their phone if there is such hole. If I check in a complete dark room, I can see it. And it's visible only from certain angle, as the pic was taken. Screen has to be on, in order to see the light being emitted from this tiny hole, I'm talking about less than a normal needle point. It has no effect on how the phone work, but I found this last night. At first I thought it's a speck of dust, but it wouldn't go away whatever I did. Then I realized it's a light coming through under the gorilla glass. I'm not going to return the phone for this, but still it's a defect.
Check your phone and let me know if anybody has same problem ?
Mine does not have this problem.
None here
