Poor Screen Uniformity

Anyone else have any issues in regards to the screen?
I can look past the horrible refresh rate/ghosting, but this is really bugging me, amongst other things.
It seems the bottom half, mainly in the left corner, is quite a bit brighter than the top, making it seem more yellow, and the top a darkish pink hue.
The bottom corners also have very noticeable light bleed strip down the sides, which is noticeable on any screen/colour. It's like a small bright 3mm or so wide strip each side.
Half way up theres also a mark that separates where the brighter part of the screen starts/ends, so I'm wondering if someone dented the back of the panel when assembling it in the factory?
Either way I've requested a replacement, I'm just more curious to see if it's a common problem or not. Ghosting aside, the screen itself is quite stunning to look at, especially with a bit of ambient light in the room.

i didn't get your question, but if it is that i have any issues in regards to the screen? then no, i think it's stunning...

I also have the light bleed in the corners but it's only really noticeable on the bottom of the right bezel (in portrait). The light bleed looks like a strip on bright white light running up the right hand bezel before stopping about a third of the way up.
This is my second z3 and I'm contemplating whether to bother with another replacement or just return it altogether. Can't say I've been won over by the phone so far...I may just go for the note 4 instead...

[Q] Display Issue, Viewing Angle, Normal?

Hi Everyone,
I recently bought a Oneplus one and am a bit disappointed with the display. Besides having the yellow part at the bottom, when I look a little at it at an angle I see the screen tint to whitish almost blue and this effect increases as my eyes level to the surface, this is best seen by looking from the right corner of the screen with a black background. Is this normal? I only need my head to be slightly away from the screen to notice it. Also I notice light bleed from the top.
Let me know if this is just an effect of the LCD display and if its normal. I've used amoled displays before this.
Regards,
Bobbie

I don't have this issue on mine. Honestly though, why is it such an issue? The scenario you're describing would just never happen in the normal use of the phone, nobody looks at their phone on such an angle when using it.

Hi Heisenberg,
Thanks for the quick reply. I do notice it during normal use otherwise it wouldn't be a problem. The phone is on the left side of my computer now and as i'm looking at it I notice the whitish blue tint while using a black background.

Fair enough. Dunno what to say though, I have two of these and neither of them have a tint when viewed on any angles. I initially thought my screen protector might be why but that can't be the case because one of them doesn't have a protector on it.

Mine does have a screen protector on it that was already on it when I received it, could it cause some kind of tinting? I only see it from an angle not if i just look down from the top to the bottom of the phone, then it looks perfect.

It's possible. Those films that come already on the phone aren't actually screen protectors as such, well they're not meant to be used for an extended period of time anyway, they're really just to give light protection during the shipping process. I'd recommend you remove that one and get yourself a good tempered glass protector. The Nillkin 9H is exceptional and it's quite cheap too (less than $10).

light bleed.

just noticed my google pixel from verizon has serious light bleed on the top and bottom right corners. very noticeable on a black wallpaper or the ambient display screen. anyone else face this issue, defective lcd i suppose? :crying:

Light bleed comes from screens that are backlit by an LCD or LED. The Pixel uses an AMOLED screen, which does not use a backlight. Instead each pixel (of the screen) produces it's own light. Therefore, there can be no light bleed.
If you are seeing something resembling light bleed, I think you have a bigger problem that should be covered under warranty.
You should upload a picture so we can see what you are looking at.

im assuming it was a defective panel. so i got it swapped out today. new one is fine. amoled or not it seemed like light bleed to me on dark wallpapers.

Its not typical backlight bleeding since as u said there is no backlight, but its the same thing that causes grey uniformity issues. Contrary to what people think amoled does not 'shut off' pixels when displaying black unless screen brightness is at a very low level. When checking the screen for uniformity with a grey backgrond my amoled screen has a yellowish tone in bottom left area and this same area wont display 'pure black' unless brightness slider is at a certain position.

S8 plus red screen issue India

Hi all, the aim of this thread is to know how widespread the "RED SCREEN/TINT" issue is India & whether the software update fixes it.

The software update doesn't fix it right off the bat. You get additional control over how you want to tune the RGB and edges of the screen. You need to find the right balance which works for you.
My S8+ doesn't have a red tint over the whole screen but it had slight tint over the edges. However, by tuning my edges, I was able to remove it.
You need to slide the RGB bars to find what works best for you.
I know this is kinda murky solution when we are paying top bucks for a flagship but the nature of this huge screen is such that it is susceptible to some degree of tints when looking at different angles.
IMO, the pros outweigh the cons. If you're still not happy with the display, you can return it and get a new one. But be prepared to face the same issue again!

Lucky you. I had some red tint on both the edges but the new slider after the update fixed it!

In my case, there is a slight tint over the edges and on the screen when viewed at different angles. I have filed a replacement and ill get it by monday.

This is what worked for me.
Post downloading the OTA for the red tint issue, i moved the RED slider to 50% and for Screen Edge Colour Balance, i turned the slider all the way to the extreme right where it says Cool.
That pretty much fixed the red tint issue for me across the edges. I didn't have a red tint except on the edges to begin with. Even with the Blue Light Filter set to ON, i no longer have a red tint issue along the edges.

Mine is also having same issue
Just bought mine yesterday, had tint over edges after adjusting it fixed it,but there is still red hue when i tilt the phone to certain angle ! Is is normal guys or should i get the replacement ? I worried that i might end up getting worse device with tint all over the phone screen.
Also tell me does your screen looks dull with Basic and other two AMOLED setting ? Mine looks best with Adaptive only!

screen tint

When you looking at a white background, on about 40% brightness in a small angle, is your screen has even white color from top to bottom?
I have a feeling that on the top, the screen has a little of a pinkish hue and towards the bottom a small amount of yellowish hue....
Anyone else?
Maybe it is bacause of the factory screen protector? It somehow reflects light?,

Wired, but I'm facing the same problem.
I have yellowish tint in the bottom of the screen, and also on the top of the screen. It's really stand out when you looking at gray background.
Very disappointing.
Will try the warranty program.

Can you post a picture of it? I see it on white background

Please check on your phones, do you see any tint on white background when tilting the screen ?
