In some apps that have black gradient i can see a few spots and even quite a long line of dimmer pixels at certian black levels. Has anyone else seen this? is it a defective screen? Should I go compare it to an in store model and see if the same spots show up?

I have the same thing. From what I've read/heard it's the Pentile screen at work.. I'm still going into. The store later today to verify.... Once you see it you won't be able to shake it out of your head.
I first saw it late at night with all my lights off and I was close to the screen...now I see it all the time.

Hi,
I am seeing 2 single white dots on left side of my phone screen. I like Galaxy R beacuse of its specification. But same time I was worried about its screen size as I am too used to keep phone on left front pocket of my jeans pant. When I drive 2 wheeler I see sometime it gets pressurized. I don't know how else I can keep this phone with me.
So the question is, did my phone create any dead pixels just because of it might have got some pressure? Anyone can help to know are those really dead pixels and how to fix them?
I can only see them when camera switch on/off and display for a moment becomes black or when watching video. Otherwise with full colour background wallpaper, dots never be seen.
Well as we have lcd screen, i dnt thinkk that problem like dead pixels in amoleds can be happen here (correct me if i m wrong)
try flashing stock rom and wipe cache and dalvik cache, may be it help. Do update ur prob resolved or not.

i don't think they are dead pixels, it may be because of dust.. similar thing happened to my friends Optimus One because of dust..
First let's confirm its not due to the background of the picture that was on your screen.
- Type *#0*# => Press Vibration(Black) => Now check if there are any White spots.
- If there are white spots on the screen then take it to the service center and have it checked, if its just dust as guys above me have mentioned then they'll clean it.
- If you can't see any white spots then it was the background that you were talking about which had white spots & nothing is wrong with the screen.
Hope this helps.

I have a similar white spot... well, i am saving that one, given that the R is now out of stock, if we dont see an ICS build or if samsung says they can't get to update it to ICS, i am gonna take it to the samsung centre and ask them to change the screen as i am getting that white spot and because of no stocks, i am sure i will be getting my refund
Even I had a white pixel on the left hand side of the screen on my SGR. You can observe it only while having a dark background. I read online that its pretty common so I left it.
You can try an android app - "Pixellator" (?!).. I am not sure if thats the name.. It has been made specifically for such white pixels.. Its dint work for me though... But no harm in trying

Thanks for this information. I was not knowing such hidden interface. I did above test and found no white spots. I am actually confused now. I do have scratch guard on my screen. Don't know but those 2 white spots can be seen randomly only when black background is on screen.

Then it's the background's problem .
I know CM7 has such a system app called CMWallpapers.apk , and they have the choice of setting it as "No Wallpaper" . Can you try extracting that from the CM7 ROM and giving it a try ? Don't know if it works though *shrug*
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?

try turning on the brightness to max and then do the vibration ( black) test...
then you can see them easily...
it is there in my case...

Switch on the camera and cover your camera & manually turn off the flash. Now take a picture it would be completely black.
Do update on the progress here.

I can now see those 2 very small white spots at the same place. Do such spots are problematic in future and should be fixed at service center soon? Do they will fix this under warranty?

If u want u can raise claim and yes they will fix it for free as its a display prob and ur phone is in warrnty period.
Before giving in ssc ensure that u have flashed stock rom of ur country, ur download counter is zero and ur phone is not rooted.

i had my Samsung tablet 8.9 since January and all of a sudden i noticed a white spot on the screen. it appears as gray when the device is on and the screen is white and it appears as white when the device is off or the screen is black. has anyone encountered the same problem? what is it? and why it suddenly appeared? how to solve it?
it is a normal thing. almost all lcd screens have approx. 0.03% dead pixel in whole screen even if it is new. there is no point to be worried about this.
Does anyone get lines on their screen it seems to really show up on light and grey colors. Its weird because it doesn't look like it goes from edge to edge its just where there is bright colors.
I attached a picture, my display just goes nuts whenever I have it up because of all the grey. I can see the horizontal lines at around 15% screen brightness and up.
Perfectly normal on a LCD Display...have it on my Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 5 and noticed it on other devices like the LG G2...not noticeable unless you´re VERY close to the screen...nothing too bad

I can't believe this is normal, this effect doesn't show up on my computer LCD, and when I have that picture up you can see lines from far away on my phone.
Okay...I see you´re coming from the Galaxy Nexus, just like me...muuuuch better screen imo despite the lower pixel density..
But very noticeable Scanlines might indicate a GPU or Screen defect...small lines, barely noticeable may be just the digitizer you´re seeing...Again: Only speculations
I noticed these lines on my N5, but they´re too small to capture on a camera let alone see from a distance...
You might want to RMA or try other Nexus devices out..
I am looking at the image on a 60" 1080p display and I can't see any horizontal lines. I must be blind?
when?
sorry when does it happen to u?
Same problem for me.
Horizontal lines.
Barely visible on white or black screens.
Noticeable on grey tones.

Ummm...... That is a SCREENSHOT it will not show defects in the display, only what the software is "outputting" to the display, screenshots will be defect free.

Hi all,
i got a problem with my display.
The brightness/illumination on display when displaying content with white background is from what I see not correct.
A certain part in the middle of my display is clearly more illuminated then the rest. But only when showing the color white.
I did the diagnosis test in the menus and here it occurred again.
Does anybody have the same issue?
Is this a display problem so I have to change my phone? Or is this just a calibration problem?
Thanks in advance
I have the same problem on my z5 Dual. White backgrounds and the screen brightness increases. Not sure why this is.

Does it do the same in manual brightness mode? If so, you probably got a faulty screen .

By manual you mean adaptive brightness off right?
If so yes in manual mode too
Here i made a photo of my display.
I think you can see it pretty good

I have exactly the same white spot on my black Z5, even in the same location. Very annoying, especially when scrolling through Facebook, Twitter and other apps with white background. On my iPhone 6S which I also use the screen is perfect.

You got a bright patch in the middle too - interesting. Maybe you could take this picture again vertically (without tilt & finger smudges) in a dark room ? I never saw 100% uniform white on any LCD & Amoled mobile screen, but yours don't look acceptable.

But this is definitely a defect screen. The bright patch in the middle is really annoying when scrolling
I returned mine today, the bright patch in the center together with all other issues was just too much. Got an S6 Edge+ instead, same weight but much larger and much better looking screen.
I have the same issue, but Sonys repair shop say there is nothing wrong which I refuse to accept. See my reply in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/help/xperia-z5-backlight-unevenness-t3229903

I'm in Singapore and on my second Z5 and there is still this unevenness in the backlight. The first set was more obvious and in the middle which was really irritating. This second one has two minor spots but they sort of form a line to the middle of the screen. It's kind of disappointing that the QC level of this product is so ****ty. Two straight out of shrink-wrapped boxes!
They are also from two revisions; the tray is different on both of mine... on the first set it was stupid with the microsim and sd slot on opposite sides meaning you had to slide one in half way to keep the sim card in before putting in the SD card. The second one made more sense with both the sim card and sd card on the same side.
I'm still pondering if I should bring it down to the telco to make another change...sigh.
guys my z5 had display but no backlight, I have bypassed the "V" and "A" both fuses still theres no backlight can anyone help?
So after using the phone for a week, I can see a faint line in the top of the screen which I find quite weird since I haven't used the phone at max brightness nor had any static images for long periods of time. I'd just like to know if this is something other people have experienced with their devices? There's also a slight green hue with white screen which is absent at the bottom of the screen. I only noticed it because of a black wallpaper that showed that there's actually a constant notification bar in the launcher screen.

Ok so you assume that this definitely is a defect? Too bad.. it's really really faint, but since I've seen it, it's always there. The home button from AOD is the most notable, varying by the brightness.

Is it burn in or ghosting?
If you are unsure about if your display is burning in or showing ghosting or both, use a full screen gallery app like QuickPic. Get a gray image and view it. With ghosting you will immediately see the navigation buttons but they will fade (scroll about to a few other images to help it fade), if they don't fade, well the display is probably burning in. You can easily download the checkerboard pattern with a google search.

Thanks for your reply, I also have a suspicion that it might be due to the fact that I used navbar to make the navigation bar entirely black, making the navigation bar "not to burn in" so to say. I disabled that and will see if this has any effect. I also disabled the home button on AOD. If it is burn in it is extremely light still, and only visible with gray backgrounds. I have a feeling that it might be fading away, or my eyes are just starting to give up fingers-crossed, the latter probably the better since I hate to be this nitpicky.. :silly:
Also I haven't read about anyone else suffering from this green tint/hue at the top of the screen. It's not so prominent when I lower the green values or when the screen is dimmer. It's this green stripe that sort of leaves this completely white gap between the bezel. Not very easy to explain but it is easy to distinguish with white backgrounds. It almost looks as if the panel isn't aligned properly and a line of pixels is "out of bounds". Weird if I'm really the only one with this symptom..

I would if I had a camera.. I was just wondering if anyone has had even remotely the same problem. I should probably just learn to live with it
It's because that Samsung S8 and S8+, have problems with some wallpapers. I get a faint status bar on for examples some wallpapers, because of their aspect ratio. So if it's that, try out the inbuilt wallpapers as they don't get this problem. Don't get a flip, if it's not that you ment!
Try and take a screenshot. Just say Hi Bixby, take a screenshot.

I wish it was, though the green hue is noticable on completely white and grey backgrounds. I did notice what you mean though when I used a black wallpaper that had this weird bar at the top.
I get that too on some black wallpapers, but if i use a builtin black theme the strange oversaturated dark bar disappears.. and when I take screenshots the bar stays on the screenshot.. so it's not the screen having prob..

Yea, but I'm talking about whites now. With a solid white background the top has this green line, not with blacks.
try to screenshot it if the green line appears on the image when you scroll around..

if you zoom in on the left part you will notice a slight over saturated bar.. but on the original wallpaper there isn't.. it only comes out when I use wallpapers that are not built in on the theme.
Ok so now I stumbled across this thread on reddit https://www.google.fi/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/682xmo/my_screen_is_a_little_uneven/
I have a strong feeling I'm experiencing the same problem, though at the top there is this white line that goes through the green area just below the green line at the top. Don't know if this splotchiness is a completely different issue..
Update on my situation, I sent the phone to service center through my provider. We'll see if they see what I see. It feels so bad to be away from my Samsung.. I hope they treat it well. Will update once I get updated.
I'm quite surprised but today I got an update on my situation. They swapped the screen and battery so my concerns seem to have been justifiable. I'm sorry that I couldn't replicate or get a picture of my problem.
Now received the phone, new problem arose. The so called "light bleed" that many have been complaining about, but for me it's literally everywhere. It's in the receiver, in all corners and all sides. Damn, such a shame to be sending my phone to service all the time.. Guess I won't be touching any curved screens anymore.
Edit, And to all those who say the light bleed is normal, I didn't have it before the service so I am certain it is a defect or misalignment of the screen.
Got my phone back from the service today. They said that the light bleed is normal and should be expected with "edge" screens. Yet as a precaution they swapped the screen again. Now I have to deliberately look to find the same problem, so on that behalf problem solved. What they didn't manage to fix is the uneven greens. The screen is quite uneven from top to bottom. Darker at the bottom, lighter at top. Really don't want to send this fixed again so I'm pretty sure I just try to live with it and see if it really bothers me with my normal usage, videos etc. I do know that this issue is really common with amoleds (speaking from experience.)

Um... That's exactly why it happened. You need to understand what "burn in" is. It's not burning at all. Simply that amoled pixels lose brightness and color the more time they are used. That's all. So if you have a status bar as black, it will not be losing its brightness but the rest of your screen will. So basically you burned in your screen. Really the screen is always burning in, the key is to make it burn in uniformly. That's why leaving AOD on without it moving would burn the time in, because the lit pixels are decaying while the rest of the screen isnt
