I bought Z3 LTE from Sony Store last week but I returned it because it had edge light bleed problem on the left side and I returned it. I ordered a second unit few days ago and I received it and seems it has the same thin light edge bleed as pictured below.

Note this is only visible at an extreme angle and is not visible straight on or looking at the phone at a small angle. Also it's only visible on non-black colored background
Is that normal for and LCD screen? should I return it, or don't worry about it?
Thanks!
your chances of finding a perfect panel is basically "zero." if there arent any dead pixels and the backlight bleeding doest affect your viewing experiences then just stick with it. the chances of you getting a more defected one is higher.
you should also go into dial pad and test it with the service menu by inputting
*#*#service#*#*
I believe that is normal.

I ran a complete diagnostics when I received the phone. Luckily everything passed and got zero sight of dead pixels, stuck pixels or clouding! Its not the first time I have seen this, I had similar problem with my xperia S, Z and Z1. So its seems like its a normal thing
I'll take your advice and stick with it. :good:

This is my second one not purchased in the same store. I see the same issue that I had with the prior. Funny a different state and different CVS upscale drug store and it still has the same issue. I bet all of them this way and most buyers are unaware of this issue with the panel. Either Anti-Glare film wasn't applied correctly or the the panel is not assembled correctly. No QCI, if there were this wouldn't have pass inspection and be rejected.
Down below you can see what's going on. If you do firmware update or factory reset i you can see how bad it is.

I've posted the above at many forums so far this reply was the best answer.
I have noticed that text cutoff on the left edge of mine, too (landscape with "Craig" logo on top). Looks either like a classic video adjustment issue (hsync on LCD possible?), or imprecise placement of the LCD panel within the bezel, which I suspect is more likely considering the price point. Simple fix: rotate 180 degrees for apps where it matters like a terminal session
But then the placement of the top layer on the screen (protector? anti-glare? digitizer?) might be more noticeable as there is a gap of about that same 1mm or so on that side. Hmm... maybe that is also imprecise screen placement issue - everything shifted that way? Oh well, for <$100 we may have to overlook the "edge cases"

Simple test to see if you run CM3.apk
Yesterday morning my phone was working great, then all of a sudden about an hour later I noticed that the touch was behaving weird, I was having a hard time unlocking my screen and also from time to time it's doing stuff by itself. So I downloaded a "touch screen tester" and swiped my fingers all over the screen and noticed that there are two horizontal "rows", one on the top and one on the bottom of the screen with a height of about 1 cm which doesn't work properly, when I swipe my fingers across it only registers small dots all over it. Also, sometimes in this touch screen tester there's a thin horizontal line which appears on top of the screen, which means the screen is randomly "fills dots" by itself.
I checked the LID and one looks pink to me, the other white. I haven't submerged the phone into any form of liquid, so I'm having a hard time believing this error is caused by water. Should I send the phone on warranty or should I try something first? I've heard that warranty doesn't cover cases where the LIDs are pink...

I have same issue with my Z3 dual. 1 line on center of the screen doesn't work and touch screen sometimes work weird - spontaneous touches by itself. I send phone on warranty and for now i have info that they repairing it. I attached my screen test.
UPDATE:
I sent the phone on warranty to Sony. They sent me a new phone, I got it yesterday. Super happy with their support, was without my phone for only 4 days.

This is called backlight bleeding and normal if it's not too much
Flash updates,that's a little bug.

That's not a bug. It's completely normal for screens to have a little bit of background bleeding. Just check your computer monitor in the corners for example
I have that as well, its not a problem once you get accustomed to it. when I first got the phone from aliexpress, I opened a dispute regarding the order as I thought that the screen is faulty. But actually turned out to be a common problem so I just made my peace with it
Hi. I was searching this forum because i just got my mix 2s. Immediately noticed the light grayish discoloration at the lower part of display. I was planning to have it replaced by the store when i posted this issue at the miui forum. 4 replied to my post, all having the same concern. Then this. So i guess its pretty normal.

Hello,
I bought the RN6P recently and noticed there were some reports about a backlight bleeding issue like on the Poco F1 on the internet. But I also saw other people mention, that a certain amount of bleeding is normal, since the screen is being lit from the side.
So I took a picture and I want you opinions on this. The 'bleeding' appears on the chin (maybe 1 - 2 mm; you can see it fading away towards the corners of the screen) and on the top (not really visible on the picture) of the phone, is this a normal ammount or should I try to return it?
From the Xiaomi Forums (better pic quality):

well usually there are some bleed mostly around notch as you must have read it, but I am not sure if this yellow ting on the down side is real or just present on this photo - however if it is seen in real this yellow-ish like, it is quite not normal, as it is not close to the screen end, but is rather centered .. I would try to return/replace the piece at the reseller, if possible.

That yellowish stuff are just the apps on the screen. I was reffering to the chin, where it's the most obvious. It's not as bad as with the Poco F1, but it still catches my eye time to time.
I got my S10e last month and noticed a weird problem/issue with it. The screen has ghost letters all over the screen that are only visible on a grayish screen. I use black wallpapers and keep brightness on the lower side so didn't notice it earlier. See pics to understand what I'm talking about. I used to have a S9+ before and didn't have this problem. I was wondering if this is something only on my device and I should get it replaced or is it on all/most devices out there. If you've a S10e or other variants can you please confirm if you have this issue.
Thanks
PS sorry for the weird link (remove spaces). xda cdn is not working and being a new user I can't add links

not common issue as far as I know - sounds like an issue with your device - try to get it replaced due to defect
Try to invert colors maybe to see if it fixes, probly wont but all I can think of

This is not even burn in by my use. I never had any wallpaper or anything with those letters, seems like an issue/burn-in from the factory. Will need to get it replaced
Get it repaired under warranty. If you're in the USA, the "uBreakiFix" stores are Samsung authorized repairers.
Or just get a new unit since it's so new.
Seems its new unit then better send for replacement.
