My OP6 have this uneven lighting on my screen. It is visible when you have a dark grey background, in a dark room, and the brightness is on 5%-10%. It's also visible when you open up chrome app and close all the tabs until you got nothing but a dark background and a + for new tabs. Is this normal? Or should I RMA it?

Here you go
I don't think that's normal at all. At least my OP6 doesn't have that. The brightness is even across the entire screen.
Normally the issue only have Huawei and the LG OLED Panels.
OnePlus 6 have an SAMSUNG Super AMOLED Display, and there is no issue with uneveness Display in low brightness.
Can anyone else confirm this if it's normal or not? Please try again and use this image i attached. The uneveness is quite visible with it.
Go in a dark room.
Full screen it (make sure there's no other bright elements are showing).
And lastly, set your brightness to about 10%.
Please tell me it's normal :/
*edit. Funny, can't seem to upload the pic.
Welp.

@aserate: I have the same issue. I tested it yesterday and saw some lines and uneveness.
Im happy, that I bought the OP6 from Amazon. Now I give the OP back and buy the Mi Mix 2S without AMOLED.
Only Samsung build AMOLED Display without uneveness and lines. I tested the screen from Mate 10 Pro, P20 Pro, Google Pixel 2 XL, LG V30, OP 5T,...
All of these smartphones had a problem with the OLED / AMOLED Displays.
Im wondering, that the user, who test the phone for YouTube or a mobile site, dont see the bad screen.
I bought the Mate 10 Pro 3 times ans the P20 Pro 2 times from different stores. All the devices had a bad screen.
I hate the UI from Samsung, that is why I only buy now smartphones without AMOLED, only IPS or Super LCD.
I don't have this issue. I checked 5 different OP6 units and all were ok. Only one had some slight uneven brightness, but not as visible as on your picture.
Appreciate your feedback. I guess i have to rma this since it's clearly an issue. Praying the replacement won't have this. Sad to know after watching linus' op factory tour with all that quality checking and stuff, common issue such as this still exist. Welp.
There is a way to completely deactivate the top part of the display to completely hide notch. But I don't want clock on the left of the notch I want it on both. There is a way?

Rubbish? I´d tested all of the phones:
- S8 & S8+
- S9 & S9+
-Note 8
All of them don´t had any display issues.
I´d tested:
- Mate 10 Pro
- P20 Pro
All of them had uneveness and lines on the OLED Display
I´d tested now:
- OnePlus 6
THis phone has uneveness, too.
Now I have OnePlus 5T and this phone has a perfect OLED display.
If I have the chance, to get a samsung phone with OnePlus Oxygen OS, I would like to swap asap!

i rest my case as you said all are perfect this proves other wise
Got the same issue. Also on my fourth device already because of loose alert sliders. my fourth device has a loose alert slider and an uneven screen. right side is darker than the left side and its noticable in dark menus, notification shade etc on low brightness
No problems for me here in terms of uniformity.
Great panel, but I wish the calibration was better:
- calibration too cold
- oversaturated
- gamma way too high
- black crush
I had this problem in 2 Oneplus 6. I made a RMA and got a new unit, without the banding, but a defective corners (a white glow in dark images). So I got another one, finally a perfect unit.
The other one was purchased via amazon, with the same banding issue, so I got an exchange.
All of them were red Oneplus 6.
The OP customer service was very helpfull resolving the problem. I give a 10 to them.
Anyone can check the screen with this images or an app called oled tools. You need a dark enviroment and low brightness
Im kind of hestitant to replace since im on my fourth device already and dont feel like waiting anymore. Thinking about returning and waiting for the 6t. Id have to use my galaxy s5 for a few extra months though...
I just received my replacement unit 2 days ago, I was waiting for it for almost a MONTH. Unfortunately, I still have the screen issue. I can't believe I was waiting for nothing. While waiting for the replacement, I only used a f***ing keypad phone, and it was really hard for me. Have I known this issue is fairly common, I haven't RMA'd my unit just to have a big chance to have the same issue again.
First thing i noticed upon setup.I tried messing with all display settings.Note 10 is supposedly one of the brightest display's on the market even more so than a xs max or a s10+.Do i have a defective unit? anyone else feel like their max brightness is low?

Agree.,,my OP7pro is brighter than my note10plus. This along with the issues of signal, is a deal breaker for me.
My note 9 was as well I tried all sorts to see why but I managed to sort it out by switching on performance mode and setting blue light filter on and to the lowest setting
Now the note 10 plus is brighter then my note 9 but in video the note 10 is not as vivid and bright I think it's due to the note 10 been more color accurate and them eliminating a lot of the blue light
But I think it does get bright just more in direct sunlight
Ok so i tested the v40, s9+ and note 10 all on the same youtube hdr video. s9+ and note10 on vivid, note 10 is definitely the brightest of the three.so the display is not faulty, its capable but you cannot go the high brightness manually. probably because of potential oled burn in warranty problems , samsung has capped the brightness under normal conditions. Also i noticed, if turn the screen temp to cool it looks a bit brighter. I read somewhere Samsung reduced blue light from their display starting with the s10. Might be why display appears to be dimmer. Wish it wasn't capped at the very least. you pay 1k for a flagship phone and samsung does this smh.
i have both note 10+ and note 20 ultra. i feel that the color on the note 20 ultra is not as vivid putting side by side to compare with note 10+. anyone think so too?
My Note 20 Ultra arrived today and I compared it with my Note 10+ and I agree with you. The colours on the icons are far less vivid or rich, sort of like a bit toned down. Also when scrolling through the menus anything white seems to be less white and more grayish. The settings are the same on both handsets
Yep can also confirm this, I've just been running some comparisons too and find the same. I guess its a bit more natural, but personally I do like a bit more saturation to be honest..
Yup , prefer vivid also
So yesterday my N20 Ultra arrived from wondamobile (highly recommended, everything went smooth), and I'm quite happy.
I do have 2 questions though:
- Is the back really made of glass? Everyone says it is, but it feels completely different from my Oneplus 7 pro (and yes, I know for certain I don't have the non-ultra). The glass on my Oneplus feels cool to the touch, while the note doesn't. It also sounds different when you tap them with your nails.
- I heard this phone had the highest peak brightness of any screen. On the highest non-adaptive setting my Oneplus 7 Pro gets much brighter. Is this just Samsung limiting the max brightness, or is this a random difference in panel quality or something? I saw Lew from Unbox therapy also had potentially related questions about the display.
I made a return of my N9860 256gb. Compared to Note 9, theNote 20 ultra's brightness sucks! I order a new 512gb model. I hope will get luck with last one
These displays should be able to get very bright...

Firmware glitch it sounds like... bad Samsung
It isn't a Hardware fault. Samsung limited the manual max brightness limit to be like that , so you only get the full brightness in adaptive brightness mode under direct sunlight

So can you manually jack it up?
I never use adaptive brightness, lol it never worked right and still doesn't.
I don't want to kill my OLEDs or my eyes so typically it's at about the half way point or less on the 10+
The 20 U gets even brighter...
Using these devices in the sun is sort of asking for it.
On my Note 20 ultra, colors, specifically dark colors look much different than my note 9 as well as Pixel 3 xl. Do you think mine is a defective unit or is it just how Note 20 display works?

There are some existing threads with some advice and discussion in.
People who are using dark Mode are suggested nkt to apply dark Mode to their wallpaper and choose vivid mode.
I have reported this here as well. Blacks aren't as deep on YouTube and chrome with dark mode on if you compare it to other past devices. At least he's even throughout the screen, so not horrible, but definitely not as "contrasty". It's like the blue light filter is on at a very low rate. Don't know if it's software Samsung can adjust or if it's due to the new screens being used. Some say the s20 ultra had it and one plus. Apparently those were addressed with a software update.
Yeah my YouTube seems kinda Grey
Very odd.
I just noticed that this morning.
Hope this can be fixed through software
