So ,I was looking for black crash issue in my phone and I come across video.
I found something odd .
While watching the blacks weren't true at some point , it was like watching on a LCD panel .
/Try at petals and jellyfish scenes/
Brightness level
1-8 %looks kinda whitish
9-13 %true black
14-24% definitely blacks looks like watching on a lcd panel.
>24 %again true black .
I was streaming the video at 2k 60fps. I tried changing the screen calibration but same result.
I dont know much about amoled panel can someone please help me out regarding the issue .if it's only on my device I'll put it up for a replacement
Ps-sorry for my english .
Looks amazing on my device. Maybe you got a defective one. This photo is at the lowest possible brightness and a dark room.

You may have a problem with your panel. I've had two 8pros and here they are ......
One of them didn't display blacks and Grey's correctly.

@akshat207 @dladz @Mar-cel @Batfink33 so I found out the problem was occurring on the YouTube app. I tried running the same video on youtube on browser, it's working fine, there are no problem as I describe.
Maybe YouTube is not optimize? But then you all tried yourself on YouTube app only. So confuse right now

Pick a video where it happens, show us a screen shot and the link and we'll try it. If it's present then I haven't noticed.

Yeah same for me. Well I ll hold on the device for now tbh on my daily basis I didn't reallycome across issue unless I try to find one . I'll suggest you to consider the 6 month extra warranty instead of phone exchange plan. Can't guarantee how this device will perform on the long run .

I got my OnePlus 8 Pro and tested it at low brightness in night. I was able to see a black bar on top after checking it closely.
Also enabling dc dimming creates a reddish accent. So i turned it off and its normal.
Although i am curious if the black bar going to cause major issues after sometime.
Also in India they only offering replacement and no Option for return
Below are screenshots that i took for 0:56 timeframe for your suggested Video. Is there any problem with my screen ?

I can't say anything about your device by lookin on my own screen .you have to figure that out for yourself,try to slide the brightness bar from lowest to high .you should be able to shift in black region around brightness level 14-24. (Try this on the YouTube app at the jellyfish scene ) .and please do let me know if you see shift in black .you can try on 480 p also don't have to go through vpn 2k reso.
Mine does this also on YouTube.
Turn off Pro colour effect fix the problem.
Turns out this is already a discussed matter(Reddit). So, the conclusion was that "live with it". Since the one plus company didn't polish it enough before mass manufacturing this things will coexist at lower brightness.

Hi!
I have both the new Nexus 7 (2013) and the previous one. Noticed right away that Youtube videos looks sharper on the old Nexus 7. Have compared the same video on the two tablets.
Is it simply because of the higher resolution on the Nexus 7 2nd gen?
1280x800 on the old one vs 1920x1200 on the new one.
Edit: Uninstalling the latest Youtube update completly fixes the problem. Thank you Tranceiver!

Dude im serious. They look alot worse on the new Nexus. Lower res and with jagged edges and stuff. Is it something wrong with the tablet?
For example this YouTube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE4gFmCiYAU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Looks nice and sharp on my old Nexus 7 but on the new one the edges are jagged, especially on the name tags.
Br J
On the real here, I find that everything looks much better on my Nexus 7. Granted if you look at crappy encoded videos it will look like dingle berries on a baboons a$$. Simple fix, stop looking at the baboons a$$.
On the other hand, you could have a bad screen. Bring your tablet to your local electronics store that has a 7 on display. Bring up the same video on both and compare.

How does my linked video look for you? Does edges look jagged. Look especially on the two player name plates in the upper middle.

There are more pixels on the new Nexus 7, therefore lower quality videos will look lower quality than they would on the new Nexus 7 with less pixels. I can see what you're talking about and it's simply because there are many more pixels on the new Nexus 7 as opposed to the old.
This is a common issue with high-res screens and lower-res videos.
If the scaling algorithms are not advanced it looks blocky and horrible.
If you have a single pixel and it now needs to occupy 4 pixels on the high res screen, the simplest way is just to make every pixel 2x2, but then everything looks blocky and you have stair steps.
More advanced algorithms will do a better job making things look smooth.
Videos almost always look the best on a screen that matches the resolution of the video, but can be made to look decent on higher res screens if done right.

It's not just you. I think the new Youtube app screwed something up. Playing the same video in BSPlayer looks far, far better. I'll try to take some screenshots for you to compare. :good:
It's also definitely not playing in 1080p in the Youtube app.

Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
What sfhub said is probably the right answer. I bet Youtube isn't doing the best filtering when it comes to upscaling resolution.
The pictures I posted above are with HD youtube setting, and 1080p BSplayer setting.
I've tried switching in BSPlayer between Software decoding, Hardware, and System. It made no difference that I can see (though I can't take screenshots in hardware mode).
I would suggest watching youtube videos in BSPlayer until they fix this crap. You can do that by
hitting the "share" button in youtube
copy URL
start BSPlayer
hit the + button (top right)
delete the "s" from the "https"
done!
Edit: The older version of Youtube has better quality. You can just go into app settings and uninstall the updates.
Thx everyone for the replys and nice explanations!
Was afraid that there were something wrong with the tablet or something. Because it dont look good at all.

Between the BSPlayer and Youtube, that doesn't look like scaling issues, it just looks like the source material is different resolutions. Is the problem that the Youtube app won't use the hires version or is it telling you it is using the hires version but still downloading the lowres version.
Now even with lower resolution video, Youtube should be able to do a better job on the scaling, which is probably a different issue.
Are you guys sure you have HD enabled? Click on the three vertical dots in the upper right while a video is playing and make sure the white HD letters have a white cloud halo behind it. It's misleading because the HD letters are in white with no cloud halo when it's disabled. With HD enabled in YouTube it looks sharp like the BSPlayer screenshot and jaggy when disabled.
I can't believe not more people notice this. On the YouTube app, the overall picture quality is sharp. It's just the jaggedness that's all over the place. HD is enabled.
I thought it was the device's scaling issues so I tried to stream 720p and 1080p videos from my computer using MX Player and the PQ was as crisp as ever. I mainly use my Nexus 7 (both 2012 and 2013) as a YouTube device and I'm rather disappointed by this...

Hello fellow G pad owners!
As much as I absolutely love my LG G Pad (black model). I think that LG really dropped the ball on the display brightness levels on the screen. For gaming, internet browsing, everything looks fine, but try and watch a movie with the display below 60% and it's really hard to see anything during the darker scenes in a movie. Well, I wanted to start this thread for people to share their settings/tips to help others who want a better better display on their devices. For me, I have been using an app called Screen Adjuster, which does not require root. While it does not brighten the screen as much as I would like, it does "lighten" up the contrast a bit for me which helps during those dark scenes when viewing movies. My settings using the app are:
App brightness: 100%
Contrast: -71%
System brightness at 65%
With this setting, my display looks much "brighter" and my battery life is still great. I can get through an entire day of gaming, web surfing and video streaming without having to charge my device.
Please post your comments, questions and all suggestions on your display settings recommendations here to help others.
Thanks
Yep, this is why I'm going to be looking hard at the HP slate 8 when it comes out. I really wish the dog hadn't knocked the note 8 out of my lap - I could continue using it happily for many months more, aside from the damaged screen.
The gpad is too dim for me to use, even with making screen adjustments as best I could, since I use my devices outdoors as well as indoors.

I saw you mention this over at Androidcentral.com. Bad dog, bad dog!! lol
I don't know man, my screen is fine now regardless of whether I'm using it indoors or outdoors now. Even without my settings listed, I never had a problem playing games or surfing the internet, it was only when watching dark-scene movies where it became an issue.
If you really look at it, this tablet has much more pros than cons about it. I don't remember the last Android tablet that I owned that had such an amazing resolution, solid build quality, great battery life and works great out of the box with no reboots/glitches to speak of! I mean, really, I had to double check to make sure that I was using an android tablet and not an Ipad! lol
This tablet works really smoothly, without a hitch. And being able to hold it with one hand while reading on that beautiful, high res screen is awesome!
The gamma is a bit on the low side -- around 2.0.
On many (most?) tablets the "brightness" is really the backlight control rather than a true brightness control (adjusting black level). The two controls should be independent for optimum results.
At the moment, using that appi have it set to:
Blue +6
Contrast -55
System brightness:35-45% night-day

For me with your settings it is far too washed out and lacking detail make it harder to read.
I set mine by using my retina ipad as a comparison. Adding the blue makes the white more natural and the colours match more. E.g. the Facebook app blue now matches.

You are right about my settings making things appear a little more washed out. I need to find the perfect balance for casual reading and movie watching on this thing. I do prefer a brighter screen than a duller looking one though, so I have to keep tinkering around with the settings.
Just so you know, the video player app has its own independent brightness setting. when you hit the menu button you should see an option for brightness.

Filter Your Screen App
I posted this in the Help and Troubleshooting forum on Saturday. Perhaps it needs to be here, too.
The "Filter Your Screen - Free" app has dramatically improved video playback using the LG Video viewer, BS Player, and MX Player. The settings that work for me are: Alpha 30; Red 200; Green 200 and Blue 220. I'm sure there are many variations, but I tried to keep it simple.
When not viewing a video, I turn the Filter off and it seems to help extend battery life.
One question: Does anyone have any experience with this app? If so, does it damage a display over time?
Thanks.
I'm thinking of getting one of these to go with my G2 which I love. However I will definitely be using it outside a lot and I've read mixed reviews on that. Some say it's unusable outside, while others say it's fine. Could some people here who own one please share their views on outdoor usage?

As we are all aware bright sunlight kills mobile phone screens and tablets have just the same issue .
But due to the LG 8.3 brightness issues as this review
At 273 lux, the G Pad's screen is far dimmer than the tablet category average of 359 lux and well off the iPad mini's mark of 432 lux. The Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch offered a higher rating of 477 lux, while the Kindle Fire HDX topped out at 480 lux.
Then I think the LG 8.3 is not for you sorry as its great little tablet

Is it sharpness control, or simply some content not looking good due to the content's native resolution? Qhd monitors can have the same issue and depends how well the panel works with the gpu that is outputting signal. Maybe something that can be corrected in a low level hardware update.
Several reviews have pointed this out as well as some users, but not widespread enough to suggest all content is over sharpened.
BTW, this thread is a lit match for the fuse and powder keg known as G3 fans.
more http://anandtech.com/show/8169/the-lg-g3-review/2
Fans will still deny and call the naysayers trolls. I guess Anandtech is a troll now along with other reviews and users pointing out the Qhd was more a negative than a positive for the display compared to 1080p.
Still, can the over sharpness be fixed, or an issue with the display? Great for owners if can be turned off.
the font sharpening on some background colors is really bad and hard to read for the eyes. i hope lg gives us the option to disable it or reduce it for a better reading experience.

I can understand them.
About sharpness and saturation, I read that they artificially (using software) made it such a. At a very low level. I do not know whether it is possible to fix

Fans will still deny and call the naysayers trolls. I guess Anandtech is a troll now along with other reviews and users pointing out the Qhd was more a negative than a positive for the display compared to 1080p.
Still, can the over sharpness be fixed, or an issue with the display? Great for owners if can be turned off.

Oh, yeah. Me thinks that Anand is tooo nit-picking. I guess the future Galaxy F review will be all praise and kudos. But I definitely sure that LG will turn off oversharping in some future updates, maybe will just leave it on in Asia and Korean ROMs
This is how bad the sharpening is.

Please tell me your not comparing a screenshot to a selfie taken in a mirror -_-
I've read all this stuff before when i bought my yoga 2 pro, being the first 3200x1800 res laptop. Nothing but comparisons to 1080p displays, critics talking about color inaccuracies. All the credible reviews said it was a total failure and more of a negative that a plus. But i'm glad I picked it up, I was able to hold it and hold a samsung notebook with a 1080p display and honestly it was night and day, the higher res wins. Maybe that's just me cuz i have 20/10 vision but if resolution is important to you don't overthink it and take all these display calibration tests too seriously. Make the judgement for yourself.

Mirror? What mirror? That is a picture I took of my G3. What do you even mean by "make the judgement for yourself"? I bought the G3 and have it with me, do you? The oversharpening is a flaw in the LG's software or display. It causes display problems with certain fonts (most obvious with a black font and a light coloured background) and it is a significant issue if you read ebooks. Hopefully this is something that LG can fix through a firmware update.
I previously had a G2, I think the G3 screen (color wise) looks fantastic.

My point is 90% of the critics are complaining about things most people wouldn't ever notice on their own. No I don't own a g3 right now and no I don't normally read ebooks. (and I can't really see anything wrong with the text in your pic)
When I say make the judgement for yourself I'm talking to the majority of us who don't own the phone, because I see way too many people (on here, reviews, supercurio) saying terrible things about the display. Just saying that from experience as I've been in this boat before buying the first 'next gen display' while it's being compared to 1080p displays that have been on the market for a while that have all the kinks worked out already.

I have seen the sharpness issue and the only way you will not notice it is if the new device pixie dust does not wear off. Anandtech and other reputable sites as will as users have noticed it.
Should be a simple setting that LG can turn off. Hopefully.
Well, I love my G3, I haven't been near a bong in years, and my vision is perfectly good (with contacts).
I find the oversharpening is irritating too, though. So any software fix would be very welcome.

Definitely is. The find 7 uses the same screen and doesn't do the over sharpening. I think they did it to try to emphasize the need for the resolution.
Hello I wanted to create this thread because this phone is really nice and has a great camera, but not perfect at all, first problem is the raw mode, it's cool but why is has some darker corner and green tint ?? and it's only 20Mo instead of 30Mo with Camera FV-5 and ProShot apps.
But Vincent2167 find a calibration file : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61360315&postcount=314
LG still have to fix it and don't need this...
An other problem is the camera mode, we can't record in 1080p in 60fps, it kind of sucks for a flagship in 2015, but the worst is the 4K video, the video is pixelated, try to shot a landscape with a blue sky, you will noticed that the sky is very pixelated... probably because the bitrate is too low, only 30Mbps for 4K is low low. I read it's almost 50Mbps for the Galaxy S6.
To finish, the camera mode when you do a zoom, a close up, the mic change and the sound quality recorded become very bad, especially when you want to record a concert, you can see it here :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKJZqdD8oZc
@0:34 when we zoom the mic change and the sound is closed, pretty bad, when it unzoom the sound come to reality @1:28
Edit : I forgot the video stabilisation, I think LG can do better, and has to do something to activated or deactivated the stabilisation because it makes the picture very distorted when moving.
Edit 2 : The front camera pretty good details, but the background is always overexposed even with HDR activated, so bye selfies with nice landscape.
So please LG fix this, it's nothing, sound like you just wanted to contain all real potentials of the G4, and wait to make for G5 or what ?
Edit 3 : Since Marshmallow, videos in 4K have better bitrate, 46Mbps instead of 30Mpbs only with Lollipop.
Why doesn't the camera app have a night mode setting anymore? I'm too old to remember ISO and shutter settings anymore. In fact, the stock camera app seems to be missing many features that existed on the G2 stock camera app.

Because its not needed any more. The G4 will take a night shot by itself if it thinks its necessary. It even does this with the front camera.

Did you see this mod ?
60fps does not seem stable but higher bitrate 48Mbs? at 4k looks to work. Needs root though.
Suspect they used a lower bitrate rate to keep file size, power consumption as well as heat low as possible. With the Z3 in warmer climates you could not get it to record 4k for more than 3 minutes (!) cold weather was better.

You basically answered your own question. It's not needed anymore *because* we can now manually control ISO and shutter speed.
"Don't include features, people will complain. Include those features, people will complain."
Now when I use manual mode and move the MF slider all the way up to auto the camera app fc's. Anybody else experience this?

Custom DPI does this. It does it with me too sometimes.
What is custom DPI ?
UP, I hope LG will fix it. Do you think the stabilisation in the video can be improved ?
Which one have the best accurate colors ? the warm or cold one ?

No I'm not root, I found this picture here, and I went to the store, the LG G4 has different screen temps, in the store it was cold, mine is warmer... So I wanted to know which one has the best accurate colors or which one has been reviewed on internet.

Neither. The warm has more yellow and the cold has more blue. some people like colder screens ie blue. Course the degree of tint matters, if its too yellow or too blue then its not good as you never see white. This matters if you are watching movies or seeing photos but less if you are reading docs say..
The term 'accurate' isn't a good one because accurate colours require expensive screens to reproduce and are not attractive to view.
So vendors tweak the colours so that they pop and are pleasing. it seems pleasing is more important to people than accurate.
there is no way to calibrate a phone screen either, android does not support it yet like you could do using a spider say with a regular monitor. And this calibration needs to be done on a regular basis to remain accurate.
personally i prefer warmer as its easier on the eyes. on my laptop i have a utility called f.lux that drops the colour temperature after sunset. otherwise its like staring into a headlight! have to turn it off when viewing photos but otherwise for working its been great.
i did the same with my phone using an app called twilight.
Ok, but when I said accurate, I meant the color reproduction of the others colors, I think I read someone said warmer teint has better color reproduction than the cold one but I can't find it anymore. Personnaly I prefer cold, because of his real white, but not too cold to be blue.

How it can happened ? The sound didn't change when he zoom...
So we all know we can stretch the video to fit the screen while we watch YouTube in landscape mode.
But I don't have this! I used my phone 2 days and didn't have it. Then restored the phone installed it again. Now I did have the white little toggle/button to stretch, but not for long. After updating the apps and syncing my accounts and settings the button dissapeared again
The settings are enabled for all apps at 'apps for fullscreen settings'. Everything is enabled here. The weird thing is, when I watch trailers of games in Play Store ( it uses youtube) it does show the toggle and I can stretch it. But when I go to the YouTube app and watch any video on landscape mode, whatever I try it doesn't show up. It doesn't work.
Can anybody help me out with this please? Pretty annoying. Thanks in advance.

I did. It is not there either. In the beginning it was there also. Not anymore.
I have the same problem. Is there a fix for this?
Go to settings> apps> youtube>uninstall updates, return to factory youtube
That just worked for Me
Just tap the screen once in the right hand area while playing videos in the YouTube app and the button will appear. It's also "hidden" for me unless I tap the screen near the right edge.
This is the update , the app was adjusted to full screen as default so you cant stratch it in latest versions , reset the app to factory default
Yes I can. I can both crop to fit and switch back to original format using that little right hand button.
I have no complaints about the YouTube app myself. I was merely suggesting possible solutions for the op.

Im having the same issue with my S8+
Crop to fit is different than stretch to fit.
Its actually crops out some of the vid. You can miss headers,footers, or other captions for vids like this. Not to mention content.
Im only getting 2 options with the actual youtube app
"Fit to screen" which has the black bars and doesnt take up the entire screen to keep a certain aspect ratio or "Crop to fit" which takes up the whole screen but cuts out too much of the original video.
If i use the stock Samsung internet browser i can
-go to Youtube websits in Desktop mode/view.
-Select a video.
-Change the view or mode to mobile on the browser. May have to refresh it a couple times to get the Red play button in the middle of the vid.
-Then click the red play button
- Then the Youtube view option will give you 3 different options. "Fit to screen" "Crop to fit" or "Stretch to fit".
The Stretch to fit option gives full screen and doesnt crop out content or parts of the vid.
- However there is no way to change the video quality or resolution when you are using mobile view mode with the browser
So its like I have to choose between having a true full screen picture that doesnt crop out part of the vid VS. Having 720p or 1080p resolution.
This is pretty shocking to me for such a high end device
Why doesnt the youtube app just have a "stretch to fit" option like it does in mobile mode through the web browser????

I get where you're coming from.
Some videos have 3 "modes": original, stretch to fit and crop to fit. But those are few and far between. Most only have the crop to fit option.
In my experience, most videos have the content" centered "and i don't really miss anything but cropping. It depends on the video.
I suggest trying crop to fit and if you come across certain videos where you need all of the image just use the " original "format. Shouldn't be too many of those on YouTube, I think. [emoji53]

Thanks. Unfortunately a majority of the vids I watch have important details listed at the bottom.
What i dont get is the same videos that have 2 options on the youtube app have 3 options on the mobile browser view. Same exact videos. So i dont think its something that varies from vid to vid.
The only dowside with the mobile browser view is you cant switch it to HD resolution.

Tbh, I think you just need to hold tight and wait for youtube/samsung /app developers to figure this out.
It's still very early days for something pretty different from the norm. Growing pains are to be expected.
I expect (actually really hope) this will all be solved in 1-2 months time.
Just hang in there until then.

Honestly, do you think the Note 8 won't have the same aspect ratio?
I'm 100% sure it will. And these issues will be fixed way before then.
So the only realistic reason to wait for the Note 8 would be the S-pen, and not the aspect ratio.
It's up to you, mate.

It doesnt matter if it has the same ratio. If they fix in for the S8s before the Note 8 comes out. Chances are the Note 8 wont suffer from the same thing. So either way im waiting on a fix.
A guy in the other thread pointed out the Note 8 will have a better 4k screen. Maybe a better 4k video cam and options. And a much needed more pratical on screen finger print scanner. I do miss the pen as well.

An on screen fingerprint scanner would be great. S-pen too if you use it. But a 4k screen is a bad idea. Would destroy battery life with no benefits as the human eye can't see the difference on a screen this small.
As for the camera, do you really use 4k video recording that much?
Don't get too caught up in specs and features that you might never use or notice.

I would like to do more than 10 mins worth of 4k recording. I record a lot of car related stuff with my phone.
Good point on the battery life. But im sure there will be options so the screen wont be a battery hog. Just like the S8 +. Battery life is amazing. But if you bump up the brightness and resolution settings the battery goes pretty fast.
Yeah im not going of specs. Just real world stuff i would use it for. Which is why I have such an issue with the weird aspect ratio.
Every time a phone comes out they say you cant visually tell the difference on a screen this small. Yet magically everyone claims it to be be the best screen by far. And to be fair i do notice that the S8+ screen is better than my Note.
4K display would be good for VR, but anything else it is just wasting energy on resolution so small you can't even tell the difference. I had the same dilemma on waiting for the Note 8 or getting the S8+ (loved my Note 7), but I am fine with the S8+ at this point. Doesn't mean I won't be selling it and getting the Note 8 when it comes out, I might, but for now the S8+ is the best phone made. I agree the odd aspect ratio will take some time for app devs to work with, but it will not be much of an issue in a few months most likely.
