Just got the Rogers LTE version today and first think i noticed is some light bleed coming from the bottom of the screen making the blacks kind of washed out.
Im comparing it to my SGSII which has ZERO bleeding and perfect blacks. But it is an LCD screen and not AMOLED
Return it if you have light bleed problems. As for the blacks, you are comparing it to an ambled screen after all...
Does anybody else have a rather noticable grainy screen? It looks like a layer between the diodes and the front glass. Its as if I was looking on the screen with some photoshop grainy effect. Or better, if you put a very thin paper in between the diodes and the front glass. It gets significanty better with brightness turned up to max. But it doesnt go away completely. Its most pronounced with darker colours. Black is fine though, no mura effect there.
Its really annoying to look at. Is it normal? I thought LG supposedly fixed this issue which was very common on the original Flex.
I only saw a grainy screen when I turned the brightness way way down below the normal with Lux brightness control.
I got my S7 today and I haven't had an AMOLED screen for a looong time. Viewing angles are fine but everything gets a blue tint if I'm not looking straight? Or better, gets more blueish, it's not just a zone, it's the whole screen. Changing display modes doesn't do a thing. Is it normal?
I've googled around and read a few threads here but there seems to be a problem with uneven panels, having a small area of the screen with a different tint but this is all over and consistent.
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.

Yeah, I figured there was a problem with the panel, glad they changed it out for you.

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.
Anyone else have blue tint on the very left and right edge ? Is this because of the curved screen or what ? Only visible on light background. I already tried to adjust it in the display setting but didn't do any good
Its norml due to screen edge. even on S7 Edge i had a blue tint due to curvature of screen.
