I bought my moto g5 plus on January, 2018. Its been more than an year old now and recently i noticed a yellowish tint on the display (more visible in white backgrounds) on the top right corner of the display. Also there is a yellowish boundary forming on the whole lcd panel. The touch works fine though.
Is this an issue with this model or just my phone was flawed? Is there any remedy (software wise)?
Thank you.

My phone is 2 years old and don't I have this issue on my phone. I think it can be your device specific issue.
And that's not burn in. Burn in is a ghost image on the screen, usually very faint, from a constant image left on an LED or OLED screen. G5+ has an LCD screen and is not susceptible to burn in.

My screen has been like this since day one. In the pictures you can see brighter back light bleeding from the top center/right, the right middle/bottom, and the bottom center/left. Also, a bit of light shines through the white bezel in the bottom center which now that I notice, won't stop bugging me.
Was hoping it would go away but I got this on Amazon so an exchange would be easy as long as it comes back in stock soon (white 32GB).
Is mine the only one plagued with this? Keep in mind that this is with brightness turned all the way up on a black screen.
Yea I have screen bleed at two spots but it doesn't bother me unless for some reason it starts to expand then it will become an issue.
Most LCD panels, which are backlit, will have some light bleed around the edges. You can return the phone for a different one, but you'll probably have the same issue. It is the nature of backlit LCD panels. AMOLEDs don't have this problem since each pixel has its own light source.
Thanks for the input guys!
I don't seem to have this issue on mine. I can't notice anything like this when I turn on Moto Display. Is there an easy way for me to test this out?
the nature of LCD. one of the reasons I enjoy amoled as well.

I have this screen bleeding too.
I've got my device yesterday and started "Dead Pixel Test", on the black screen i saw the screen-bleeding.
All my previous devices didn't have a screen bleeding, or it wasn't noticeable like that.
I've my XT1572 purchased in July, 2016. I notice a yellowish tint on screen. However, my other friend who has XT1572 too doesn't has any yellow tint and the whites look truely white instead of any other color's tint. So is my display defective? Is there anyone else who is having the same issue? My phone as well as his phone isn't rooted nor any modifications are done to any. I've started this thread because most of the threads on yellowish screen tint in Moto X Style are from countries other than India. So if any Indian XT1572 user has faced the same issue, please help with the same.
I had it... But i replaced my device.. Now it's bright and beautiful.. There's no solution for it. You can either replace the handset ( if possible ) or can change the display from service center

My replacement period is already gone. So changing the display would do I guess. Do you have any idea how long it could take to change the display?
It depends on your location. Go and check
My screen felt slightly yellow too from what I was used to on a Oneplus one. So I installed frankenkernel and KCAL color control, now my display has pure whites and colors almost look like an amoled screen.
But if its super yellow and you think its a hardware issue and not calibration you should exchange it.

Good to know that. I checked it with another MXPE and a OnePlus Two, both had pure white, mine instantly looked yellow on bring the devices close to each other for comparison. Also my XPE has a bit of screen bleeding on left side beezel.

This is not an issue bud. Your screen isn't defective at all. This is the limitation of ips panel. Some/very few users who aren't able to notice(including me) might have not good eyes like ur's
So don't panic. Just relax and enjoy this device

It's is not a issue with the device.It is some kind of sensors for Moto display.Turn Moto display off and it vanishes.This issue has been raised in one of the forums in lenovo , to which they replied that it is a sensor and not a display defect.So chill!
The horizontal lines are available in each and every device. The one who tells that they haven't noticed it, they might have not seen it properly. To see it you have to revise your geometry and have to see it at different angle under sunlight with hawk eyes.
I have noticed this on my G5 plus and it is normal (as in it doesn't hamper the functionality or doesn't imply malfunction).
See the photo
They are the touch sensor patterns. However, I also came across another G5 plus(one of my friend's) which has a different patterns (grids instead of horizontal lines) and they are barely visible even in bright outdoors.
The kind of sensor pattern you're talking about(only horizontal lines) are however, have more visibility, which kind of disappointing, and are hard to be unnoticed once you see them . So, there are two types of displays on G5 plus, and those who have the grid sensor patterns are the lucky few.
Thank you all for your kind reply.
I have the same issue... I dont like it but i want to keep the phone... Don't know if i want to return it beacause of this.
I was concerned about the horizontal faint white lines in my display. Thanks @williamj949 for explaining it's part of Moto Display. Confirmed that they go away if you turn it off. Good to know the display isn't faulty.
It's the digitizer's (touch sensing layer beneath the glass) grid.
Actually its been awhile since I've seen it on a phone (last one I saw was on Nexus 5s), guessing it's just the side effect of buying a medium-tier priced phone.
I'm. totally cool with it though, you don't notice it after a while.

It has nothing to do with Moto display, it will still be visible as it's a hardware thing

I'm used to oled panel and now I'm using g5 plus. I can see the lines and now it's really bugging me.
Are there more people who notice a slight yellow tint near the bottom of the display?
At first i thought it was glue that had to dry (some other lcd phones had this before). But after two weeks of usage it is still there. Its only noticeable within apps or webpages with a grey/white background.
I'm considering sending it out for a repair, but if this is native to the display it wont help. I'm also worried that the repair will compromise the ip68 rating.
Mine is slightly warmer to the bottom of the screen. Its one of the drawbacks to LCD displays, uneven back-light.
Personally it doesn't bother me as it's barely noticeable. At least we don't have to deal with pink screens and screen burn. Now they are things that bother me. ?

Yes, its for me too, bottom part of my G6 screen is yellow tinted. I tried to ignore it using themes but apps with white background makes it visible, it is highly noticeable when turning ON comfort view.
Can't find the reason if its manufacturing defect or what. But i will not be sending it for repair, i had bad experiences before with service centers.
For me is more like a greenish tone, at the left bottom corner just 0.3 inch 90 degrees circle but i dont bother, at first when i notice it i get mad but...its normal for some LCD by LG get this kind of "issue".
Bad is my V10 with 2 years the ghost image retention is horrible and i hope my G6 didnt get it, cause is really annoying.
Hi,
I bought a new G5 Plus. I noticed there is a yellowish tint towards the bottom of the screen. Is this normal?

No, this isn't normal. I also have a slight tint towards the bottom and I tried to get it replaced under 10 days of buying but it was never replaced and I have to live with it now. If yours has a more distinguishable tint then I suggest you go for a replacement

Thanks for the reply. I had bought it for a friend. Flipkart rejected my replacement request(as expected) after sending a guy to check on it. It's certainly more distinguishable. Didn't you try reaching Motorola service?
Try turning the display setting from vivid to standard, settings/display/colour mode.

I bought it from Flipkart as well and I have the same story as yours but the tint on my phone isn't very strong and is only noticeable when you look at it very carefully or compare it with another LCD screen phone side-by-side.
Also, my screen also used to flicker at a certain level of brightness (Google it, quite a few people have reported it on Moto forum). The technician only disabled hw overlays from developer options and called it a day. SMH

I have contacted Motorola & escalated the issue with Flipkart. Hoping for the best.
MotoG5 plus yellow screen
While in a TeamViewer secession (from my computer to my Mom's MotoG5+) i noticed her screen change color - like a light brown/yellow hue. with the phone up and down, the hue or overlay covers the entire screen. when turned sideways, it covers 90% of the screen (you can see a distinctive line). with the phone turned sideways the other direction, it covers half of the screen (starting in a little from the left). see the pics.
