This G Tablet is just out of the box, but appears to have some type of "burn in" that shows up one certain colored backgrounds. I noticed it first in the background of the application Tweetdeck, but the attached image is with the plain background using the free application called "Dead Pixel Test". It was a little tricky to capture with the camera, but there is an outline about 1/2 an inch all the way around the screen with rounded corners and on the left side it it juts out to a point sort of like a "speech bubble" from a comic. This is the third display color of Dead Pixel Test, "light grey". I didn't see it with any other colors in that program, but depending on what colors are in the background in other applications, this outline may appear.
Could anyone else confirm if their display has this issue? This unit is new, so I'm not sure how it would have any burn in like this, so maybe all displays have this, or maybe it's just a display defect on my unit.

I ran the dead pixel test and it didn't have any issues like your pic. If you bought in a store bring it back and show them the test and have them run the same test on an in store display model.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
Definitley bring it back. Better to have peace of mind than to worry about it.

Thanks for the confirmation. It didn't look right and now it does sound like it's just a problem with this particular unit I have. I am going to take it into the store as you suggested.
LCD panels can experience retained images, but it's far less likely to be permanent than the phosphor damage seen on CRT tubes and plasma displays. The new OLED panels will probably be bad for this as well. Set a pure white background for a few hours at low brightness to keep the temperature down (with no icons) then see if your pixel test shows any difference. If the image is really permanently retained out of the box my guess would be that it was probably a test result screen from the factory.
Good reminder for the rest of us that screen savers/timeouts are important!

Hello all, i have myself an 02 XDA Exec, but during the light of a soft reset
the screen is now working with fault
it looks like there is some sort of high contrast or the in could be bleading on the inside, but the touch feature works, will display pictures
Notice how the screen has different shades, but also patches in the corners of the screen, as ive mentioned the touch sensetivity works fine but the screen looks to be a bit pixelated and and in a different sort of contrast (i am currently reading up on the dis-assembly of it so if its something internal please say something about it)
and no i havnt banged it, smashed it, tried beating it up etc, i honestly dont know whats happened to it.

this is my today screen after a hard reset, basic windows mobile default, look at the different tones of colouring, the sort of slashes across the screen and the shades in the corner of the screen, and im not sure why, although i dont think it really can be ink bleading as when the phone is turned off the screen is as it should be, just off.
Now i will try out the camera on both sides, from the phone and from my camera
Camera's Side
Notice how the screen is in a sort of negative/contrasted style, not one im enjoying thats for sure, but coming from the phone the results are different
Exec Camera
notice how the camera still processes the image properly
which leads me to believe something is wrong with the screen
maybe some part of the frame is being pressed against it or something like that
i will be monitoring this thread closely and please help
With Many Thanks

Does it have this pink tint in reality too? (not only on the shots?)
If it does (and a hard reset doesn't help), then, one of the color transfer wires may be dead or have "only" developed a contact error (or, plainly, they have just been removed from their socket. This happened a lot with other models.)
That is, I'm pretty much sure it's a cheaply fixable problem. Try disassembling your casing and try to rearrange the wires.
pink/purple tint, but the screen apears in perfect shape
any guides on getting into the screen,
thanks very much.

Does anyone else feel that Lollipop has gone too far with the monochrome styling of notifications and popups? It started with KitKat and a preference for monochrome icons in the notification bar. There were some good reasons for this, mainly AIUI to do with transparency (although I preferred the icons from my older apps that were still coloured).
But now Lollipop seems to have gone even more monochrome. My beef is particularly with the extended notifications on the lock screen, and the popup-down for incoming calls and alarms.
Colour is a great cue to help you know what something relates to without having to look too hard. You probably identify the launch icons on the home screens as much by colour as anything else. Now in Lollipop I see a list of notifications from apps on the lock screen, but at a glance they all look the same. I have to look closely to see whether I've got an email, an SMS, or an app's just been updated, etc. If these were coloured I'd see much more quickly, which would help me know whether I needed to deal with it immediately or not bother unlocking the phone. With multiple notifications it would make it much easier to differentiate (and help avoid tapping the wrong one!).
The other issue is the new incoming call toast. It's definitely better than taking over the screen, but everyone knows that to answer a call you hit green, and to reject you hit red. But we get no colours, instead the words "answer" and "dismiss" with monochrome icons. It takes close attention to pick the right one. Same with the alarm. Trying to read the difference between "dismiss" and "snooze" while in a blurry-eyed state without glasses on a fully dimmed screen while lying in bed is far from easy!
I just feel that graphic design aesthetics have overridden proper usability concerns in the mansion of Android development. Is this just me, or does anyone else agree? If so, how do you feed these concerns back to Google so they might take some notice?

I'm not a big fan of this whole "material design" thing they're doing.
Hey guys, I got Galaxy S7 few days ago and I noticed somewhat strange white shadow/outline under black (most prominent with bold) text on white or gray background (can be easily seen in Messenger).
I wasn't able to Google anything similar so I'm wondering if it's just me or what.
Here are two examples:

and
It's more noticeable when normally looking at screen, but I wasn't able to capture it with my S3 Neo, so I had to zoom.
Sorry for posting images like that but I can't use links yet.
Hi,
as I mentioned in PM, I have the same problem. It is visible bellow dark/white edges. Partial circumvention is to lower the resolution, which unsharpens these edges. Simple way to replicate this with the attached image. Are we really the only two with this problems or the other S7 owners didn`t notice/don`t mind this? I`ve seen another S7 in a shop which has the same problem. All in the Czech Republic (if I guess correctly based on the images above).
Thanks for any information.

One more info on what is going on - a detailed photo. For some reason are red and blue pixels on the edge more bright than they should be.
I don`t know if anyone is reading this, but I start thinking that I have some super sensitive eyes. I saw four S7s and three definitely had this problem. I am not sure about the last one since I didn`t have enough time to test it.. I also found this article http://phandroid.com/2017/05/03/samsung-galaxy-s8-tips-tricks/ with photos of S8 and this (d)effect is visible also there. I took a look on my wifes S3 and it is OK. The display simple looks better - well the resolution is lower, but no weird effects and the colors are not shifted to red like on my S7 (I haven`t noticed before, every display has little bit different colors). On the other hand this thread is the only one notice I was able to find about it. I don`t know how differently ask google, so native speakers - how would you call this (d)effect? I cannot believe that there are only two people dealing with this.
I`ll see what Samsung service says to this.
Btw - I remember something similar on really old (like previous century) LCDs but the other way round - the light leaked from bright pixels to dark ones, if they ware next to each other.
I`ll be happy for any related information.
Thank you.

hello I would like to report a software bug of the pixel.
when we put the color profile in adaptive and we before the brightness of the screen to full on a solid color (notification panel, settings) we can notice a line that is displayed along the entire length of the screen
this is indeed software bug because i currently have pixel 7 pro and i proceed this bug on both.

This is also happening to my pixel 7 pro.
It is more visible with brightness set to max and only occurs on grey backgrounds like notifications panel or chrome tab manager when dark mode is enabled.
The line is wider at 1080p and thinner at native resolution. Changing colour display from adaptative to natural also changes the line appearance (from grey to dark blue) but it is always present.
Sometimes it disappears on its own after a short time. Touching the screen may also cause it to disappear or reappear.
I´m not sure if this is a software or hardware issue.
Anyone else facing this problem?
while i have a pixel 6a .. this happened (since) last week here as well. not sure how these two devices are comparable in that regard.
for me the line can be "forced" to show up more visibly when "pressing" some specific area in the lower part of the display (just like a usual display-touch, but using more force), and can be made almost invisible when "pressing" (with force as well) the outer case pf the phone (from all sides). either way, it’s seems to be a hardware problem for me. google support agreed (!) and right now the local repair shop (acting on google’s behalf) ordered a new display for me and will install it next week. the guys at the shop already told me they’ve seen a few of these cases BUT always after the phone fell down on hard ground or something (which wasn’t the case for me).
I think it is more of a manufacturing flaw/design/anomaly??? Not so much a bug or something to really worry about because it only appears under certain extreme conditions such as MAX screen brightness with dark mode on certain colors. Meh...
I just got T6R Max today and the built-in apps (Netflix, Prime, etc.) are showing way too bad image quality. I connected it to my pc and made some comparisons and pc was way better. However, still I don't think I am getting HDR image and it actually looks horrible.
It says SDR at the top left. There is an option called HDMI 2.0 and there are ''On'' ''Off'' ''Auto'' options. Can somebody explain what this option is for? My HDMI cable is KabelDirekt HDMI 2.0 18Gbit/s.
I don't know if it's supposed to show it but I can see ''No HDR'' in windows as well.
Here, I tried to show the difference. The first one is my PC monitor. The second one is T6R Max. You can see there is no detail whatsoever in the second photo. Darks are so dark. The colors are idk what to say... I tried to tweak the image a bit with the projection's options but it won't help.

I just downloaded an HDR film and put it in a usb. Tried to open it that way directly in the projector's OS. The difference is big. It is way better than what I am getting from my pc. However, I am still not sure If I am getting HDR10 content. I am a bit lost here.
1- How can I see If it is really showing HDR10?
2- Why can't I get HDR from my PC?
Edit - Day 2:
I bought Amazon Fire Sticks 4k Max today. There are good display options in that. Finally, I can see HDR text when I open it at the top left corner. However, the problem with blacks and colors is still there. So this is my conclusion: I think even though the projector supports HDR, its brightness (550 ANSI lumen) is not enough for HDR content. That is why there are no details in blacks and colors are not there. I chose adaptive HDR in the display setting and with a little bit of tweak I can see more now. There is an image quality loss, however.
But I think this is what you get with this price range I guess. If there is a way that I can improve the quality please let me know.
