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.

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...

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..

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.

Glad to here, I think your chances are good. It seems the ones coming now most of them are coming with the good screens. If it doesn't get another one.
Don't drool! Welcome the first G2x with a fisheye'd lense. It's a completely removable. I used this same lense on my Samsung Vibrant (and the sample photos you'll see below are from the Vibrant, NOT the G2x just yet). Now my G2x will be doing all the work.
The lens has a magnetic ring on the rear and then you apply a ring as well to the camera on your phone that has some adhesive in the rear of it.
Some of you will ask where I got it from. Well. There are several types on the internet of the same brand, but this one seems to give the best picture and less blurriness around the edges. It rocks.
Only issue I see is the flash will be semi-blocked and might cause odd lighting. Since I came from the Samsung Vibrant it won't be such a big deal to turn the flash off for the time being.

I just went to ebay under In Cell Phone & PDA Accessories. I typed in "Lens" for a general search because i wasn't sure what was available. they are all universal kits that usually stick on with magnets or clips
I really like the typical magnet style but also saw this as a bundle for cheap. Might be worth a shot considering the similar price.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I just broke mine recently too, I ordered a white replacement digitizer on ebay, originally thought I would receive the whole assembly as most are advertised with the housing that has volume /power buttons, I got just the screen still easy fix though it required some tough gloves and a screwdriver to break all the old digitizer out and some impact proof superglue to put old one in though it worked, and now i have a black and white g2x its quite nice here's a link to a video on how to replace it.
I would recommend for ease of replacement to get a black one with the housing (volume and power buttons) attached. much much easier to replace.

I sent mine to LG (well, Stellar Wireless) after I dropped it, and they swapped it out for me for $40. Unfortunately, the one they sent me had non0functioning 4G and GPS, so I had to send it back in and I'm waiting for my replacement to be returned to me.
I ordered the digitizer from eBay. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to replace

So i wanna see what happen to you if the phone looks like that. Dang man thats bad about the phone but its fix able. Unless you want to sell the phone to me for $50 ill take her off your hands
My new digitizer should be here in a couple days, seems a whole lot easier to repair than my last phone, so I will update on how it goes. My biggest thought is about getting dust or anything between the LCD and digitizer. :/
looks like a nasty fall did you have a screen protector on it or even a case? or were you rocking the naked look? just curious
Naked of course lol I don't think anything would've protected it tbh

You have a terrible signal...
I'm confused as to why people are treating this as a bad thing.
Go buy an iPhone if you want your hardware limited.
I suspected as much. Doesn't give the text on mine, but the throttle is most certainly there. It's bloody annoying.
On, off, on, off, on off... This thing should come with an epilepsy warning. Fine, I'll just keep it at 99.9%, then. Marvellous solution there Samsung/Google.
It is incredibly annoying!
And yep terrible signal
Confused about the iPhone comment...

Thermal throttling is an amazing thing. It allows you to have as much performance as possible without damaging the hardware.
Apple sets their maximum performance very low so as to never need to throttle. If you want your N3 never to need to throttle, turn the settings down.
And this is a bad thing... because? It's to avoid hardware damage

I am going to buy a note 3 , have a mega 6.3 , and in the mega foruns here on xda this issue have been discussed exhaustively. As it seems some units do this others don't have tryed mine to do it/ display this message , setting brighteness to the max , and paying asphalt 8 for more than a hour straight , I did get the device to warm quite a bit , but no display throttling whatsoever, just hope I have the same luck with my note 3

OMG I always used my PS3 as a space heater in the winter. That thing was a monster though. I7-3930k level of performance, on 45nm transistors. I'm surprised it didn't burn down more houses.
What does the picture say?

for me the problem is that the thermal throttling kicks in (or, better described: on off on off on off) even at
minimum brightness levels, so i doubt it has any thermal impact on these low levels. there it's only annoying, nothing more!
it would make more sense if the thermal throttling of the display only activates over some brightness level, where the reduction HAS an impact on the thermal situation!
but this are just my 2 cents...
I really don't think these measures are put in for sh*ts and giggles but yeah you only paid $700+ who cares if by preventing this it'll cut down the life span of the phone or help reduce screen burnin

Tapatalk is retarded when it comes to attachments.
Thermal throttling is good to avoid damage to hardware.
And for your own health, is advise don't use 100% brightness, this is way too bright, it will eventually slowly damage your eye.
I had no idea how could you stand 100% brightness, don't you think it is over kill bright?
