I got my 4th unit yesterday, Serial C07. The different with this unit apart from the others i have received is that you can clearly tell it has a different (cheap ips screen). The units i have returned have been because of defect (last one i bricked :crying. The one i receive yesterday is in almost perfect condition but notice the screen has bad viewing angle. Is still an ips screen but the view angle is bad because the contrast is not high enough (thats what it seems). Not sure how to explain it but when you turn the screen to the side you only see a bright backlight screen (not backlight bleeding, 2 different things). it make everything look like a cheap TN screen with great viewing angle (for a tn screen). I'm going to replace my unit again today.

So Ive noticed there are a lot of threads on screen bleed, after I did some research and there are a lot of threads regarding pc monitors that are ips with the same issue. They call it IPS glow, and it seems very common. Granted some will be better than others. Thats why when you tilt the phone that bleed you see shifts so its not backlight bleed. Thoughts?

Can't really comment on what you're saying here I have no experience or foresight, I can however tell you my wife has an iPhone 4 with LG IPS and has 0 backlight bleed.
Well im sure the smaller the screen is the better it gets. But google ips glow and youll see it. Ive seen ipads with the same thing.
It is both.
Off angle you will see the white glimmer in the blacks. On older IPS screens the effect is purple. The G2x IPS screen is not the old type, its actually a great IPS screen, not a cost cut version.
Bleed is what is seen on the corners. Its a creep of light coming around, and its visible straight on viewing, and not really off angle so much. Another post seems to indicated that cheep dust protection foam around the screen is creating bleed....which depending on the torquing of the the screws could cause all the variations of the issue.
The G2x has both, the level of bleed is in question, and if its a big deal unless you are specifically looking for it....but it definitely has bleed, and all IPS screens have off angle black glow.
On my almost 3 years old I had "oily stain" - obviously from wearing in pocket of my jeans. Pressure on display causes this problem. I dismantled phone and by aplying pressure on corners get rid of stain(done this once, it help for some time). But after powering up the phone, display was dark and with some strange colors(purple, pink...). I think I fu*ked up some of the flex cables with display signal or display itself, display doesnt look cracked and I am convinced that its not issue of backlight. Question is: Did someone saw this problem? Do you think that buying a new display from eBay(~$20) worth it? I am going to buy HD2(Leo) soon.. I tried to take photo but my camera cannot take that dark picture...
it seems display is damaged i took of whole display unit. Gonna buy new LCD sell it on ebay and buy HD2
Have the same problem on my touch pro after changing the screen. Dark display with some colored stripes that changes after i press some buttons or play a little with the touchscreen. I've tried to reconnect everything, play a little with the flex cables applying coductive tape etc. but no change. The LCD seems fine.
I have created threads regarding my problem at differrent forums but noone seem to know the cause or a solution.
Your problems are probably caused by a defective of flex.
Reasons for my suspicion that ASUS is running the display outside the specs to achieve 600-nit brightness.
1. I have two burn out TF-101 LCD displays both showing burnt mark on LED part of the circuitry. (I will show pics as soon as XDA allows me to post)
2. HannStar, the OEM supplier, does not even make any 10.1" 600-nit display.
3. High display defect rate for the TF-101 display.
Interesting find. I'm waiting for the pics to see what you're talking about. I've taken both of mine apart a couple of times and haven't noticed any obviously burnt components or smell of overheated components...
Received my pixel earlier this week.
Immediately after opening the box I was quite disappointed that the display noticeably shifts towards a blue hue even at the slightest change in angle other than straight on.
I have looked at a bunch of phones on display in stores since, some of which are showing similar symptoms to varying degree.
I understand that AMOLED displays are more susceptible to color shifts at different viewing angle but this seems very extreme.
Anybody else notice the same or bothered by it?
I notice it a little bit, but it doesn't bother me until at extreme angles. I figured it was just a characteristic of AMOLED displays, I see the same shift on my watch.

I have noticed the same on my device, 1/3 of the display at the bottom has a blue tint on light screens while holding it regularly, facing me. If I tilt the phone forward (not facing the eyes), it is better, but a very small angle change and that third of the screen is blue again. I have compared my device to another one and on the other device, it happens a lot less. Instead of just a third of the display it's the whole display that changes slightly color but in positions you wouldn't normally hold your phone. I am considering returning the device...
What have you done yourself? Do you think it is an issue?
Didn't notice until this post. That's probably because I had the same issue on the Nexus 6P. In fact, it ought to be better than this when Google are charging extortionate prices for this!

After 4 days of back and forth with play support they have finally agreed to exchange. I looked at a lot of other phones in stores and mine certainly seemed to be worse than most of them. Worth a try. Luck of AMOLED draw I guess.
AMOLED actually has the best viewing angles of ANY display, really. My 4K LG TV's look incredible from any way I look at them.
Pentile AMOLED as seen in today's phone screens is different and the cause of this issue. The color shift occurs because of the inconsistency in sub-pixel layout... RGBGR rather that straight RGB.

I have received a replacement phone and the new device hasn't got the problem as much , I guess the first device was slightly imperfect and I was noticing the amoled blue tint more coming from a LCD display before on my previous phone.
The viewing angles and hue shift on my lg v10 ips screen is worse..
It's the luck of the draw most manufacturers source hardware from different vendors resulting in slightly different variations. Ie the different ram used in pixels, making some slightly faster than others.
I am wondering how are your units in regards to famous AMOLED pink shift?
Mine seems to be a bit more pink on the side making whites and darks looking uneven.
Looked at display units around shops and all units had it to some degree, also YouTube videos shows a pinkish screen nature.
How is your one?
To me pink shift implies that it turns pink when tilting the phone or viewing off angles. I don't have any problems with that however the regular OLED color uniformity is an issue on my device. Nearly ever OLED phone I've had has had some issue with this and I think some people are just more sensitive to it than others explaining why it's a non issue for most people and a huge issue for others. My Pixel 2 has a pink tink at the top 20% of the display which is minor and think most would either not notice or find acceptable. It bothers me a bit but it could be worse and I'm not sure I want to go through the trouble of RMAing the device until I get something better (OG Pixel took 3 tries and then I gave up and accepted the problem, but then my 3rd OG bricked itself and they sent me a 4th with a nearly perfect display yay!). Pink on the side or diagonally across the display is the worst I think as it's really noticeable when reading text on a white or grey background. At the top is the best case scenario for me as it's only really annoying when reading content in landscape orientation.
I spoke with a Google Tech at length today regarding the different color tints on our devices (mine is blue) and he assured me that the tinting was intended with the new screens. On a side note I notice while out in the sun when it's hard to see my screen, if I tilt slightly my device, the Blue tint actually helps me to see my screen better. Not sure if that was intended or not.....
