My black is 99% black. Have no visible difference between bezel and screen.

That is a reflection off of the underlying screen (second-surface reflection I think is the right term). You can also see the camera holes. In the right light conditions, I can make mine do that as well, but it isn't a contrast issue. Looks like there was better internal reflection control in the PXL 2 XL.
Could this be due to protective glass that is there?
I bought used phone and the glass was there.
Or maybe the screen is replaced with non-original? Can this be checked if it's original screen or not?
Thanks!
Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL comes with OLED panel. Basically dark colors is so punchy in OLED panels. May be there is an issue in screen

Maybe not quite AMOLED but I can't easily tell where a black screen ends and the bezels begin. It's sharp.
best lcd ive seen on a 1080p display. i thought for sure this was amoled. :good:
It's too dark actually. The colors are NOT accurate.
Compare it side by side with an iPhone, Samsung, HTC, etc..
Open and photo and you will notice how DARK the image is when viewed in the X4.
This isn't good when you do a lot of photo editing as it you might adjust your picture and make it too bright.
But I think this the display calibration is intentional. Lenovo wants to fool the consumers into thinking that it has a good contrast.
It does but with the expense of inaccurate colors.

Hello. I would like to ask about the deep blacks on low brightness in an environment without a light. I read before sleep, and I set my nexus 6p amoled to black with white text. Knowing that LCD cannot block all the light for blacks, I want to know how strong the gray shade is. I searched for an image taken from the display during night with no luck. Though considering the variable exposure of photos I guess it is useless to see that. Unfortunately the same can be said about human perception, but anyway I really appreciate any thought on the matter.
So couple of days later and I have the phone. I will post my opinion on the screen here for anyone wondering.
First about the thread topic: The blacks do look grayish in a very dark environment, so compared to an amoled the backlight is visible, however, if the brightness is brought all the way down to minimum, it is bearable.
According to this statistics the Nokia 7 plus screen gets a top score in contrast among LCDs. According to Nokia their screens have an additional polarizing layer which filters more backlight for darks. I confirm that even with an ambient light the grayish tone of blacks is not visible.
Now before discussing the cons of the screen, I have to say that I consider it a good screen. The contrast is good, colors pop out (not as much as amoleds), the sunlight reading is good (not excellent, 3.5 out of 5, amoleds capped at 3), and I enjoy watching movies, peculiarly even more than my nexus 7 amoled, I think it has to do with that faint grayish blacks! Since if I increase the amoled brightness the contrast will increase to an unnatural level for movies (just my opinion).
Now the shortcoming is the absence of white balance adjustment, on software side. This absence is problematic in this case because it is a very cold screen, which means the colors are a little toward blue tones. On the same website if you look at the "Color Temperature" you see it scores 8105, compared to 6863 of Pixel 2. How important this is? It is personal preference! I found turning on the night mode with a very light intensity fixes the problem; Yet we need more color control like in Oxygen OS from Oneplus. Will be happy to see it included in pure android since the needed filters exist as core android libraries.

Not OLED competitive
Black level and true blacks are mediocre, hard to compare it to the V30 which looks amazing on hdr content.
However in bright sunny situations nothing touches this display, the S9+ was close but the G7 is unbelievably clear in the sun.
As above, side by side with the V30 it's not as good at blacks, but it is by far the best display of any in bright sunshine
Black levels below 50 % brightness seems fine but I would describe bad at high brightness (but majority of media content is seen at high brightness). Another majot flaw is viewing anglebof black is very steep. Slight tilt to anu direction turns screen blueish instead (very noticeable and annoying).
Awesome Color vibrancy and No Bending (also very annoying time to time on 8 bit OLED) makes me feel better though. So it comes down to the personal preference.
You guys are comparing 2 different kinds of tech LCD vs OLED. OLED can achieve true black because when it displays black, the LEDs are off where for the LCD you have a backlight that's always on when the display is. This means its black will never be true black. It's like having a black cloth covering a bright light, the black cloth can't absorb all the white light

I really don't know about colors that much but the colors I see on my smartphone, I like them.
I have 2 phones redmi8 and redmi8a. Both of them looks same. Screen colors, brightness everything looks same. I do not take 8a with me outside but I do take redmi8 with me. I showed redmi8 to many people. Black color is very dark, no screen bleading issue. Some thought it was amoled. I had to told them no it was not. Because I use a solid black wallpaper. Screen is bright and can get very dim at night. It can get too dim. For color accuracy I think It is not that good. Because I compared it with an iphone 5s. I think iphone 5s looks better. Even though that phone is old but iphones always had better screen(mostly). It is my observation. This phone is cheap. For the price point it gives a very good brightness but colors are not that great. This phone has an LCD screen and cheap. For that reason I will give an A grade.

I am just coming from a Poco X3 and its quality in low light was just poor, just too much light bleeding that made blacks looking greyish.
Anyone can tell how is the screen looking in low light, especially the black areas on the Mi10T/pro?
I don't think that IPS glow / backlight bleeding is so bad on this phone.
But I guess it's different from phone to phone just like a PC monitor, if you buy several monitors of the same model they will all have different amount of glow.
It's a lottery.
For me it has no backlight bleeding but it has a red tint on white background that increases when the screen is dim.
Coming from an iPhone 11, I could say it's a solid 8+ out of 10.
To my eyes, it's one of the best, if not the best, IPS I saw on an upper mid-range smartphone so far.
Maybe you got lucky and got a good calibrated panel. Compared mine with a friend's iphone 11 and colors are way off ...
I have not noticed any red tint on low brightness.
I think the screen is good. I am happy overall with the phone, just a bit disappointed at the camera.
