Thanks its a relief that i will not have to deal with acer's service

I've got it too a little. It's a common LCD issue, not really acceptable, but since almost every tablet's got it..

If you have a screen without the yellow band upload a picture here

There are many people who have perfect screens and no yellow band.
Those of you who don't have this problem could you upload pictures to this thread so we can see the differences?
There is a thread for those with yellow issues, but there isn't one where there are pictures of perfect screens.
Thanks!

Let's see how many people out there have perfect screens.

Is it perfect or screenshots from the Opo don't really help?

Screenshots won't capture the yellow screen on the bottom because it's from the internal memory, so it doesn't capture the screen defect from the outside. If you have a camera or another phone take a pic with that.

You're only supposed to upload an image if you don't have the yellow band, it looks like you do have it on your phone.

How is it hard to not post a picture? If you have the yellow banding you don't post an image, that's simple.

Read again what he said....nobody has a perfect white screen on his OnePlus, so you won't be seeing a lot of pictures here...

Well the new ota releasing today states something about new cold screen calibration.

He's talking about the yellow band at the bottom of the screen, now the yellowish hue that the entire screen has (due to software setttings).

They probably don't have a perfect one it is probably a lot less noticeable. Or they don't want to admit or deal with CS to get a refund. People who do that allow ****ty companies to stay in business.

What do you guys think?

Here's some shots of my phone. I can maybe notice it if I look at it at a certain angle and stare at it for a while on a white screen, but its 99% unnoticeable to me. I only see it because I'm nitpicking. When my LCD monitor is displaying a completely black screen, I notice the edges are a little brighter due to backlight bleeding so I'm thinking it might be the same thing.

Didn't update with the newest OTA yet. I took this picture late July, about a day after I got the phone.

Well if that was stock then the ota should make the screen colder and you won't see it at all. That is if it looked that good originally.
Mine is pretty knarly and I don't think the ota will help so I'm hoping for a refund whenever they respond to my ticket.

When I looked at the photos and saw a bit of yellow, I was surprised since I didn't notice it with my own eyes. That's why I took pictures of the top to compare. The camera makes it look worse than it is because my eyes can barely see the difference unless I stare at it closeup for long time. If I hold the phone 2 or 3 feet away I can see the bottom edge is a tad warmer. 99% of the time I don't have pure white backgrounds so it doesn't bug me at all.

I dont have the yellow issue. This is white background on 100% brightness.

Light Bleed Issue

Are light bleed issues this noticeable normal for this phone? I've had multiple Androids and iPhones and have never noticed anything as obvious.

That is quite noticeable! Mine does not have that issue. I had bleeding issues with my former phones, but not that noticeable. If i were you, ill have it checked by the service center.

Thanks for the input. I just wanted to know if it was a normal thing with Huawei screens.

Mine seems to have the same noticeable light leaks, but only if I crank it up to the highest brightness setting. The most apparent ones are also near the Sim / SD card slots and another near the volume rockers. It doesn't bother me though. Does anyone else get these?

Yup, that's the exact same spots as my phone. It's very annoying to me when I tried to put dark wallpapers and during movie watching, especially for really widescreen vids that have to be letterboxed. Pretty disappointed in this.

I do not know if it will work for you, but it works for me. Just press strongly with your finger the bezel in a way that minimize the light bleed. Little by little you should manage to have à more homogenous back light.

Well, the light bleed problem is also noticeable in the replacement AM7 I received. Not very good for watching movies with lots of black or for using black themes/wallpapers imo. Here are pics of them next to an iPhone, all with the same wallpaper.

^wow, the light bleed issue in your unit is really serious! And even the replacement has the same problem?
However, in my unit, no matter how I try to look at it, in dark and completely black wallpapers, I cant seem to find any lihht bleed.
I wonder if other users here also experience this issue?

This situation is very frustrating. I wonder how common of a problem this is with the AM7?

haven't got my phone yet but will check it out for this issue

Wow. While my phne was in recovery installing latest OTA update, against a very dark bacground, I noticed the light bleed on the right side, where the power and volume buttons are located.
So yes, I confirm the light bleed. And I think it is a build issue.

Did you make sure auto brightness was disabled after sliding the brightness slider to max? Moving it to max alone doesn't give you maximum brightness.
As for the tint, you can change the colour temperature of your screen by going Settings -> Display -> Colour Temperature. Adjust that till you're happy with the colour tint.

your phone is the one on the left @papaver?
its pretty yellowish and warmer. i was thinking of display settings, too, but you said you tried all settings and your friend's phone is still brighter.
also, that white spot is pretty alarming. i guess you have to show it to the service center technician for diagnostics.

Yeah..but the gold huawei in store is even worse.. i wouldnt notized the difference between screen if there werent be two mate7 at home..
Maybe i will give it to services..i asked today and in the store said that they have to send it to official service in our country and than it would take month or more to have back my phone..so i will see

Light Bleeding

I've decided to start a new thread to gain some focus on this issue.
It is common on the U11 according to some posts.
I've just noticed after the recent update, maybe it was there from the beginning, that this device has a lot of light bleed around the sides when using always-on feature. Some parts of the edges of the device has greater light bleed than other sections.
It's quite noticeable and adds more light to the room at night. If only the time was showing it would be perfect. This is what I thought was there before the upgrade. However I believe that any light bleeding is a hardware thing not a software thing.
This could be a reason why it drains the battery so much.
The light bleeding isn't noticeable during the day as far as I have checked.
Maybe I should return this device but not sure if HTC will agree.

According to some early buyer, U11+ shows the light bleeding only from the bottom right corner of the display.
Also it should be barely noticeable: if your unit has "lot of light bleed around the sides" maybe it has a faulty or not properly assembled display...or maybe you are exaggerating things!

Can you please show a picture of this issue?

In darkness, the light bleed is visible, and expected on an LCD because you can not light up just the pixels (the date and notification floating window) which you want to show on an LCD . The whole screen has to be lit up with minimal brightness.
In normal lighting, its not visible at all because the brightness on U11+ can go down quite a bit and blacks are blacker than I have seen on an LCD.

See attached image.
Not sure what's acceptable with light bleeding by HTC's standards or most mobile manufacturers.

Ouch! That really looks bad.
I was eyeing this phone, and can't decide between it and the LG V30. Both seem to be a lottery with the displays unfortunately...

Asia model , its very minimal on my phone. Have to stand in a dark room to see the bleed in the right hand corner

Mine is direct from Taiwan.
Yes, the bleed is only noticeable using the always-on feature.
I could swear I didn't notice it before the recent update. But it's got to be a hardware thing.

LCD Panel + Backlight = visible light on black screen. No surprises here tbh lol

Exactly!! To all the HTC detractors making this a huge issue, show me an LCD screen which does not have it.
Here is another nugget: the non-uniform light bleed shown in the photo above is because of special algorithm followed by always on display software. If you just do a full screen black (use the Full Screen Test from play store), you will see a uniform backlighting, which is the best I have seen on an LCD. U11+ display has no defects in my opinion.
HTC should not have even tried AOD on an LCD screen.

Htc m9 and 10 didn't have that much

I have the HTC 10. The black on HTC U11+ is blacker than the black on HTC 10 i.e. the backlight is even lower on U11+ than 10. I tested using the Full Screen Test I mentioned above. I would like to mention again that non-uniform light bleed is only an issue with always-on-display, and not with the screen in general. And its the non-uniformity of backlight that makes it seem like an issue.

Thanks for all the feedback.
I'm very happy with the U11+.
I just selected the option to turn the always-on feature when I move the device, so it's very liveable.
HTC has always been my favourite manufacturer for the last 13+years. The HD2 one of the best years ago.

Ouch, this light bleed seems harsh. Although it should be expected given the screen's technology.

It's not a default. Devsk explained it well, I wouldn't worry it
Even my Moto X Pure LCD screen has bleed, but it is only visible in total darkness on a black screen. Doesn't bother me in the least.
PS Anyone who is curious can download the Backlight Bleed Test app from the Playstore to view how much bleed your particular LCD screen has.

People who think this is normal for LCD screens, let me stop you right there! The HTC U11+ has blacks nearly as black as LED screens, even at night. There was no light bleed when I received this device. I held it next to the S8 Plus, and both had almost the same black values. It's amazing.
After a week however, I suddenly had an extreme light bleed, 0,5cm around all edges, like some sort of weird snow theme. Luckily it faded within an hour. Now it's normal again, except for the down right corner. That's only noticable when the screen is black, and it shows the time. It's barely noticable though.
This incident led me to believe it's anything but normal. The seller told me it's alright to exchange my device for a new one, so I hope it's not an issue with all devices. :fingers-crossed:
You'd think it's an hardware issue, but what are the possibilties the software influenced the backlight? Any thoughts?

UPDATE:
Just had a software update, and the light bleed is gone now. Even in the down right corner. Is this a coincidence, or do you think it might have been a software problem?
