LCD backlight bleed on 100% brightness
That looks pretty bad if you ask me. I exchanged phones three times before getting one I could live with. The one I have now is about as bad at 100% as yours is at 50. It's not perfect but it's MUCH better than the first few I had.

Well, I was hoping mine wasn't as bad as others...
Doesn't really look too bad. I'd say keep. Your not getting much better and risk a buggy unit.

That's what I got as a general consensus... Just wanted to see how this compared to other bleeding LCDs.
Do you know if anyone has even gotten a unit without a backlight bleed?
How often will you be running black screens in pitch darkness?
Does screen bleed even matter in sunlight or office lighting?
At 30 percent brightness does it even honestly make a difference?
It'd be dumb to exchange it if the phone is free of any of the "bugs" or issues [serious ones] other people have with the phone. No reboots, never lags, good battery life? Keep it.

No reboots, never lags, 20-30 hrs battery life.
Only problem is the LCD blacklight bleed.

Then you answered it yourself. Keep it. Some people have reported the bleeding getting better overtime and I honestly don't understand what the big deal is. I wish I had a bleeding unit so that I could run some color and contrast bars and see if they truly affect image quality and fidelity.
because all I know is "HD' video and some of the games look gorgoeus on this screen....and the only time I see anything resembling "bleeding" is in that stupid draw app...which I would have never downlaoded anyway!
I almost feel like this is the BIGGEST conspiracy ever just to get people to download draw

Those sneaky Russians.
Well, the bleeding on mine was noticeable when running a GB rom with the black status bar. That's what made me decide to exchange mine. Was a huge issue? No, not really. Did it piss me off every time I looked at the status bar? You bet.
All that being said I guess it's best to mention I paid retail. If you got the phone for a great deal (like the one costco is offering) then I'd agree that it's not worth exchanging unless it bothers you.
Fortunately the one I've got now has been pretty good to me so far. I've only had it lock up once and I just restored a backup via clockwork and went on my way.

This is a shot of my replacement MT4G with the "Superior" screen compared to my wife's iPhone 4. Colors on the iPhone Retina still look better but at least my MT4G is in the ballpark as my "inferior" screen before this one displayed the same picture in a salmon color.

I did get my replacement, and compared it to my co workers iphone 4, and I can confirm it is up to par or slightly better in some cases than the iphone 4, as far as picture sharpness... I think the Mytouch has the edge, coz you can adjust brightness, saturation, contrast, sharpness and other more photo tweaks before even taking it.

You could but I'm not sure if they recognize this as a actual problem yet. You could add another more serious random problem, and the screen as another issue.
re:You could but I'm not sure if they recognize this as a actual problem yet. You could add another more serious random problem, and the screen as another issue.
This is true, I had mine for about 2 weeks, every day looking at my girlfriends good screen pissed me off. So i unrooted mine and called t mobile. Was one the phone for about 30 mins and he said it was not a common issue yet. He did day I was his second caller calling about the screen issue. I also had a spot on the screen that was flawed, it would not let ee touch the " compose message" spot when texting on anything else. Anyways they are going to overnight one with no shipping. Also I took a survey and they told me for doing so, I get one free month of service. I guess getting a "bad" screen was a good thing.

Does the price increase flow down to resellers, like Radio Shack and Costco?
But far more importantly, will the HTC Sensation come out as a 199 phone, or a 249 phone. Hard to believe it would be anymore than 199.
IMO, the price increase is simply a way of pushing out G2X purchases out to the supply that is already in the distribution channel.

EM+ user, unsubsidized is still the same so it doesn't bother me one bit.
Well I'd rather the price go up because it is in such high demand then the price go down because it isn't popular.
My fiancee and I both got G2x's. Her's has been flawless with no modding required...18 hour battery life, no random reboots, instant lock GPS.
I've had to exchange mine once, and my current one has occasional random reboots and GPS doesn't lock for 10 minutes. Annoying, but I'm still happy with it..it pretty much flies otherwise, so I can't complain too much.
Guess I'm not that lucky. Had mine for a week and it's a mess. Battery life 4-6 hours. Random reboots 2-3 times a day. Battery gets super hot. Only thing I don't have is terrible screen bleed. I did get a good price though. $99 at Costco with a 30 day return which I will definitely do to get something else.
Ok so I'm pretty content with how my phone looks rite now. I think it looks badass rite now. I'm running cm7. My lockscreen is ripple lock, my theme Chooser and adw theme is synergy. U can grab all these in the market. Oh and my live wallpaper is vortex galaxy .....let's see yours

Very very happy. Hell I just saw a article on the g2x having issues, mentioned screen bleed which I don't have, reboots which also don't have and battery heat issues.
Lol id rather have all of those vs the sensation dust, dead pixels, unforgivable wifi, screen not responding to fast swypes, way hotter than the g2x, two different screens which wash out baaaaad.
G2x ftw. Only issue I ever had on ny last g2x was a few reboots out a month. Meh no biggie
And ya know what smashpunks alot of people dog the **** outta this phone but for LG and there first big android phone I think its beautiful. Everything about it. Yea they should have this update out and definitely should have did more qa. But for being LG it is not a bad phone at all I know some peeps are sour about the g2x but I have no complaints never really did I love my phone and I'm super happy. **** HTC is known way better then LG in terms of phones and even tho the g2x came out 2 months earlier it was still a better device.

I think people were just too hard on LG cause it was the first high end smartphone of theirs. Again the sensation issues wow. I think its cool if not many more g2xs are sold, kind of gives us that love it our own special place.lol but for real, the sensation features had me at hello, but once those wore off the performance just degraded and I missed my g2x. I sure love mine. Especially with cm7. That brightness in the scroll bar like the vibrant is genius ...
I had a n1, people dogged it non true MT screen, and now look at it, still big. People dogged the vibrant, look at it, still strong and part of the elite screen club and its gourmet wow., now this, dog it, but it flunking flying.
Long live the few g2xs left and strong.
I just now realized my volume rocker fell off and I have no idea when it happened or where it fell off. I had just made the decision that I was going to sell this phone and keep my G2x because this phone doesn't interest me like it used to. Anyone else have this happen? This is another issue to add to the list...

Actually this is not the first incident. I read about it on pocketnow.com and brushed it off because my rocker was only crooked, loose, or whatever you'd like to call it. Never did I think I would have this issue. Normally I'm with the vast majority of people who don't have problems but this time I got the short straw. I'm by no means rough with my phones so the "how" is actually pretty irrelevant.

examining the phone i dont see how you could of loss that with out opening your phone because its cradle down like all phones oh well your the first
The fact that any part of this phone can just fall out is inexcusable for a premium device. Sure, it could have happened when I was swapping memory cards this morning but the fact of the matter is that it can (and does) happen. At least maybe now people can learn to watch out for this type of event through my misfortune.

ok i just seen the article you were talking about on http://pocketnow.com/android/htc-sensation-volume-rocker-fail ill keep my eye on it thanks for your post
I once lost a screw to something (think it was a Playstation 2 controller) and about 3 weeks after losing it, I found it.
A volume rocker is not small enough to disappear, and if you lost it while changing your SD card, well, it's probably where you were changing it

I think I'll try my luck with going into a store and seeing if they have any returned handsets. If so, they normally don't have a problem giving the back cover away. I don't foresee calling T-Mobile doing me any good whatsoever. I just hope that this turns out to a fairly simple task...but I am disappointed with HTC's design now. Their products are normally second to none in my opinion.

My power button has sunk in, I hope it won't popout like your rocker. The back cover with it's bad aignal, wifi bug, lack of dust protection and faulty buttons, is turning in to a nightmare. I hope they are working on a new back cover or some one makes a 3rd party alternative.
I called HTC this morning and told them my color or paint was peeling off the back cover. They are sending me a Free replacement and should be here in 4-5 days.

You know, I was a very happy Sensation owner. I completely disregarded the fact that my first unit had a crooked power button and exchanged it for another with a crooked volume rocker. I figured it wouldn't be that big of a deal since I don't mess with the volume nearly as much as I lock/unlock the phone. What started making me choose the G2x over the Sensation was that I had both phones side by side yesterday and was curious about the wifi issue. The Sensation picked up and dropped the signal constantly whereas the G2x held onto it with full signal. The Sensation also was terrible with collecting dust in the case and that concerned me as well. Now, the volume rocker falling out sealed the fate of the Sensation. In the end, I have decided I will take software bugs over hardware. I don't have many of the G2x issues so I can wait it out. The good news is that my friend at T-Mobile told me to go to her store on Monday and she will give me a new back cover. I hope everyone watches this more and more because I'm sure this will become a bigger issue soon.

I seriously doubt it becoming any issue at all. I have 3 batteries total and NEVER plug my phone in. So basically I swap batteries that are charged only, opening and closing the case each time. I have done this dozens upon dozens of times with no issue at all, even upon reading this I intentionally tried to maul the rocker and nothing happned. Either way its a bummer YOU lost it, but call tmobile or HTC and tell them what you feel about the quality. Tell them they have let you down and your upset with spending that much for a device defective rocker/case. Goodluck.

Just received my 16GB from Tesco here in the UK. In my initial checks I found there's quite a bit of backlight bleed across the top of the display and about 1-1.5cm down either side. It's not the worst I've ever seen but it ain't great either. Not sure whether to return or live with it. I might see if I can get a shot of it to post on here.
Do other people have the same problem?
I've had 2. Both identical bleed up top.

Would you say they were within the realms of acceptability?
I just got rid of a stuck green pixel directly below the speaker. I think so yeah. You're not going to get much better.

I didn't notice any bleed until it was pointed out, and then I still had to look for it. Maybe my eyes are dodgy (!), but in my opinion, it's completely acceptable for normal use.
I agree, now if I spent 400 I'd think differently.

You've definitely got a point, even more so as I effectively got it for free with Tesco Clubcard vouchers.
Anyway, I've taken a shot for the record.

My device have some bleed to, but not as much as this.
One problem I found is that it has two black spots on the mount point of the LCD, you can only see when you put the phone slightly tilted.
Does anyone have the same problem?

I can clearly make one out in the bottom left, not so much the other side. That won't bother me TBH.

Yes, is not something that bothers a lot, but I was thinking of getting to replace, but if it is with all, I am stay with that.
Anyone else have the same situation?
Thank you.

Wow - my Moto G's screen definitely does not have as much bleed as that. Nowhere near! And I can only see one of the mount points at extreme angles (way higher than any usable angles). The effects might be exaggerated by the photos I guess? Is it the same with bare eyes? I would take some photos of mine but I don't have another camera...

With my bleed, do you reckon I should return it?

The mount point I start to see at approximately 35 degrees, below is new images illustrating the "problem":
35°
45°
85°

I can't speak for the average quality of the screens on different Moto Gs, so it's hard to say. If you got it from a shop, maybe you could consider taking it in and asking to compare to some other Moto Gs because you're concerned about it?
Maybe I am lucky and got one with an excellent quality screen or something?!

Yep, that looks a bit irritating. I definitely don't see anything like that at around 35-45°... The most I can see is a vaguely darker area, pretty much only visible on full brightness.
I have almost no bleeding at all, just sayin'
I've arranged a return. On searching I did find this thread with a similar experience of bleed (although no pic) http://www.modaco.com/topic/366801-backlight-bleed/
I also noticed a very slight flaw/nick in the glossy plastic surrounding the screen. That plastic is a little soft so I'm wondering about the durability of the phone in the longer term.
Anyway I'm not getting a replacement right now, I'm going to sit back and see if these issues are prevalent and then decide whether to get another.
Any QA issue would raise it. This is how manufacturers learn and improve

I can see some backlight bleed, but it's not all that bad at all, and I had to use a black image to really notice it. It's mostly in the top left corner, for some reason..
