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.

When I first turned on the phone I noticed some screen bleed on the very top of the screen if you were holding it vertically.
It doesn't seem to be bothersome when in use...you can barely notice it.
Anyone notice any ???
btw, the screen is great....
I kinda see what you're talking about, but coming from the MT4G with a "bad" display the difference is night and day. If I looked at my screen from pretty much any angle at all it would look all washed out, but now the colors and contrast are still there. I agree, the screen is great!
I wanted to get some opinions on the color balance across the screen on peoples phones.
I am noticing the bottom of my screen towards the buttons is slightly purple (about 1/5 of it). I wanted to find out if others had the problem or something similar like inconsistent color temperature across the screen. I am using basic mode.

I have had the s6 replaced three times and each one has the pink screen hue at one end of the screen.
I urge every s6 owner to load up a white wallpaper or background and see if your screen accurately produces white evenly on the display. I bet you it won't. And once you see it, you can't unseen it.
Hi everyone.
Just got my new S6 (non edge) today. While I'm installing my apps by sitting in the garden, the sun shines directly to the display and I saw just two things I can not recognize.
Around the display is a frame inside, which is showing up, when there is a white background in a lighten environment where the auto brightness is setting up to a maximum . Its hard to photograph, but I tried it. The "zebra-look/stripes" are from taking the photo, its not present on the display.
After that I saw a spot on the upper side in the middle of the display, too.
Anyone else? Or is this no problem? Doesn't looks nice when the sun is shining and you are using the phone...

My phone has the same thing when in direct sunlight showing a white image I can see what looks kind of like a faint black border on the edge like in your bottom left corner picture.
I literally just saw this when I was outside today, fortunately I was not able to see it inside or under normal lighting conditions. It's most likely a shadow of sorts from light reflecting inside the display assembly. I don't think it's a big deal tbh.
Yeah quite possibly a shadow of the assembly. My fingers make shadows on the screen in direct sunlight unlike any phone I've seen before.
If you look hard enough, it looks like a G.
Its rhe panel in behind the screen guys
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.
I got my OnePlus 6 a couple of days ago and it is an awesome device.
Hoever I am a bit concerned about the viewing angles.
When I look straight at the screen, the color is a little warm in the whites (very nice), but as soon as I tilt the phone slightly, I notice a cooler white.
The change already starts aroung 15-20 degrees. (note that I am very sensitive with such color changes, some people may notice it later at 30 degrees or more).
So if I look straight in the middle of the screen, the middle is a little bit warmer than top and bottom.
If I tilt the phone very slightly, the warm "spot" moves around.
Is this normal or do I have a bad screen?
I know that this somehow affects most OLED displays, but the small angle makes me wonder if I have a bad device.
Btw. the factory screen protector is still applied, may be makes this effect worse.
