Has anyone noticed that there is light bleed from the three capacitive buttons into the bottom of the screen.
Like three tiny spotlights flashing into the bottom of the AMOLED screen.
It is more evident when in a completely dark screen in low light conditions.
Does your Lumia 900 exhibit this scenario ?
Lumia 900 White UK version
I’m pritty sure that it happens with all the Lumia 900's
My White Lumia 900 even has bleeding at the top by the sensor,
but this only happens when the screen is totally off and the buttons are lit up when i see the bleeding white light from them (when the phone battery is totally dead and you plug it in is mainly when i saw it) there is a tiny gap between the screen and the black of the buttons that lets the white light from the buttons seep through
Thanks for the reply and information intwischa.
I have exchanged my initial handset and the light bleed is slightly less on the new replacement but it is still there!!
A huge oversight by Nokia if I may say so!
Best phone ever to work in full sunlight. But I guess you shouldn't look at the screen in total darkness cause you will be totally bummed by some light bleed. Can't please all of the people all of the time.
I will be sure to avoid total darkness situations. Still loving my "original" L900, even with some perceived imperfections.

I have stayed off the thread because I was wondering just WHAT someone might be doing with their phone in the dark
Im sure some people will find this a big deal but I have found very few "reasonably priced" electronic devices with a screen without *some* type of light bleed at an edge.
Screen bleed?
I don't see any screen bleed on my device. Then again, I'm coming from and LG G2X which had significant screen bleed at all four corners. Maybe LG desensitized me to anything that isn't grossly obvious. I also haven't noticed my Lumia rebooting a dozen times a day or overheating in my pocket.
This is a great phone! So glad I made the switch from android to wp!

Indeed this phone has got the best screen for bright sunshine scenarios.
However, the light bleed from the backlight of the capacitive buttons into the bottom of the screen is just poor design!
One expects better internal design from Nokia especially since they are the same company which designed this great Clear Black technology
I was slightly disappointed by the display of my Lumia 900. Indeed the capacitive buttons leak a lot of light into the bottom of the screen but thankfully to Windows, I guess, those are off most of the time. My last Nokia was E7 and that display was absolutely awesome. Excellent visibility, great color reproduction and real 100% blacks (unlike most Samsung AMOLED displays I have seen), no light leaks or purplish tint or anything. I'm yet to see a display that's better in any aspect, except resolution, than E7's.

I had this on my original whiteLumia. But, haven't noticed it at all on my second white one that I exchanged for the purple tint issue. Guess that's one of those "variances" that occur during manufacturing.
can you guys take photos? my amaze that i just sold had horrible bleed to the point i had to turn off the lights lol
My Nokia has the same problem, although it's not much of a problem since I usually use it outdoors. Love the ClearBlack display though...

I'm thinking the same thing. People will generally complain about anything...especially when they are Anonymous . They will want the performance of a Porsche on a Ford Fiesta. They will want the beauty and reliability of a Rolex on a Roldex. They want the convienence of a paid app, on a free app.
Anything assembled by man or machine, has its flaws. Light Bleed is one of many complaints that is important to only a hand ful of people here. I'm sure if I go over my phone with a microscope, I will find something to disagree with...Price doesn't matter in the quality of things...from iPhone, to Android to WP, to Blackberry. Each one as something. If you look long enough, and hard enough, you'll find something, anything, even Waldo...
If it bothers you enough, return it. Otherwise, I can NOT believe Manchester City actually won something !!!
My 900 has ZERO light bleed. Even with the screen completely black and in a dark room. None whatsoever.

I went to the AT&T store to check out the Optimus G. To my dismay, this phone has the same display issue that made me pass on the LG Nitro HD. It has a weird dithering or color banding issue. The LG Optimus 4G LTE had this issue, and it was written about here:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/11/23/bell-lg-optimus-4g-lte-review-video/
If you want to see the effect yourself, view this image on your Optimus G as well as another display.

On most displays you will see a smooth transition between colors. Not so on the Optimus G. If you're doing this comparison in the AT&T store, I suggest you compare the image using an iPhone 5. That display is almost perfect for sRGB colorspace. This may be an issue that will make me pass on the Optimus G also.
UPDATE - 2012-11-30
Several people said they did not see the banding/dithering issue on this thread. So I went back to the AT&T store and looked again at the phone. I'm not sure if this was the same unit or not, because this time I could not see the same dithering issue I saw before. This makes me very happy because that means this will probably be my next phone! I just wanted to publicly post the update, lest I besmirch the good name of LG displays.
How about finding a display above 4.5" to use as a comparison. I'll wager that you can't find one that's better. I'll deal with a trivial color distortion to have a display that's 4.5" or larger.

I don't have a issue with my screen, its beautiful, no banding or anything:good:
I was just using one of these guys last night and I didn't notice any of the banding issue at all and it was something that I did actively look for.
No banding , no yellow or blue tint on mine. Screen is top notch imo.

Agreed. Screen really is nice.

I've had my Sprint LGOG since Friday and the screen has remained amazing. I held it side-by-side with my friends iphone5 and even at 50% brightness the screen looked 100x better than his at 70%.
I updated my earlier post with an updated impression. I went back to the AT&T store, but this time I could see no banding on the same image. I'm not sure what changed since then, because there was a definite issue with the phone I saw last time. This time I compared the same photograph between the iPhone 5 (nearly a reference display), my HTC Vivid, the Samsung Galaxy Note II, and the LG Optimus G.
The Samsung had terrible color reproduction, typical of AMOLED displays. Maximum brightness was low, some black crush issues, and a image was too warm and too much green tint. Saturation was okay using the Movie Screen mode. I was shocked AT&T left this in, as they've been stripping this function from their Samsung phones.
My HTC Vivid was also a bit too warm and over saturated. Brightness was better than the Samsung though.
The LG Optimus G was the closest to the accurate colors of the iPhone 5. I daresay it's the possibly the best display I've seen yet on an Android device. I guess I should have also compared to the HTC One X+, which is also known for a good display. But I was short on time.
Definitely the nicest screen I have seen on a phone.. the iphone screen is nice but this screen to me is just as nice. I use I generally at less than 50% brightness and its sharp as a tack even when viewing up close.
Two thumbs up she's a beaute
F160's display do have bands from up to the end.especially in white background
but F180 has a great display,it looks pretty good
forget about it, just enjoy your phone.

Doesn't LG make the retina display? Lol. And from what I know, IPS is an LG tech. Also the i5 has no ips plus. I have both, my LG is nicer, to my eyes anyway. Maybe its because I feel Im looking at a matchbox with the iPhone screen.
Also just note I have no yellow at all. Maybe a touch blue. The i5 is much more yellow.
I may be wrong on lg making retina, it might be sharp. Regardless the G has a fantastic LCD. Its way up there.

I have the Sprint variant. And my screen is absolutely. Horrible. I went to the store to compare it to the demo both with full brightness and. Can confirm that my screen has faint lines and pixelation...nothing representative of an ips screen...im sort of disappointed
The colors are actually really washed out on the screen as well. Vs the demo had a slight tint but it looked more natural, also the lines didnt show up as much on the demo as well. To bad sprint repair centers are like pulling teeth, most their employees aren't the brightest people

I just bought the Sprint version yesterday and mine has the dreaded yellow screen tint on the bottom. I noticed it right away. It almost looks like they are using warmer leds on the last quarter of the screen. Its very annoying and distracting when I'm on a page with a white background.
With that said, the screen is not washed out. Its probably the nicest looking screen out there. Everything is sharp and contrasty. There is some slight banding on greys but its not a big deal.
I also have other issues with the build quality. For example the camera rattles inside the phone when I place it down on a table. I'm wondering if Sprint got the $hit end of stick with quality control here.
Don't get me wrong, the phone is still really nice. Just frustrated with these small issues.

Sony, at least for AnandTech's review unit:
"I did some poking around, and my HTC One X (AT&T) review unit has a Sony display:
[DISP] mipi_video_sony_hd720p_init: assign initial setting for SONY_NT id 0x18103 Cut1, PANEL type = PANEL_ID_ELITE_SONY_NT"
The display on the Teg3 One X is from either Sharp or AUO (Acer); HTC uses both. The AUO display is cooler and seems to be preferred. The One XL only uses a Sony display.
so sony rules!! :good:
btw i found this comparison by anandtech
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6425/google-nexus-4-and-nexus-10-review/2
in this test the LG screen seems the better one...
Read the Nexus 4 reviews they are stating the screen displays more washed out colours. It will be a good screen burn good as the One X hard to tell until those with both phones can compare.
Also remember the HOX will have the larger screen despite being the same size as the on screen buttons on the N4 takes up screen estate.

Do all displays look like that http://www.kitguru.net/mobile/blair-mcclelland/htc-one-x-smartphone-indepth-analysis/ ? By that, i mean if you enlarge that image, you can see parallel alternating lines with different color. It is visible under certain lighting only. If you also turn on the screen and put a white background, for example, and look very closely at the screen at a 10-15cm distance for some time, you can see parallel lines of alternating brightness. Does that have to do with the technology?

Those marks are the electrical tracks written on the glass to enable it to detect touch. Chemicals are used that are electrically conductive and are almost transparent to light, but not completely transparent to light, so under some circumstances you will see these marks.

I don't think there is such thing as "best" screen. E.g. nothing can beat the AMOLEDs in terms of contrast. They suck at everything else (and I mean "everything"), but their black is unbeatable. Our screen has the advantage to be laminated to the protective glass which gives it great appeal. The butterfly has the highest ppi on a screen (higher than the N10 I think), but at the end of the day it's which screen looks better to YOU. And that's something only you can decide by looking at them. No benchmarking or reviews can do that.

Both current mainstream screen technologies have their advantages and disadvantages.
I like both IPS and AMOLED for different reasons.
Screen technology will improve further next year.
So just enjoy whatever device you get as there will always be something better coming along.
Seems like Lg will be the leader on full HD displays. They've just announced the worlds slimmest Full HD display. Its flexible also. It uses true RGB pixels and not pentile. Its contrast ratio, quality, and brightness surpasses anything on the market now. It has already been officially certfied on all this by Intertek. Its speculated this display will be on new LG G2. I'd figure on the next G pro also. Q3 will be very interesting for LG phones. I'm so amazed with display on G pro now. How much better can these things get? Lol

I have a problem in which I'm not sure if my device is defective. I am aware Amoled screens are very contrasty and displays deep blacks but poor whites . My concern is the white which shows off-white,dull and yellowish on my GN3. My previous devices were the HTC One with S-LCD 3 and the Nexus 4 with IPS display. With little tweaks the color production was perfect and the white's were white on those devices. I don't know if I'm spoiled by the LCD display's or my units defective. I've tried all the screen mode from adapt display to movie with no avail. I currently own a Nexus 7 (2nd Gen) which also has a LCD screen in which I compared the note 3 white level. Maybe my eye's just need to get use to the amoled screen or maybe it's defective, please any input would be appreciated. I've attached a photo with the Nexus 7, GN3 and Galaxy Nexus I know its a bad comparison and crappy pic but hopefully it helps.
Do you have a screen brightness app installed such as Lux? If so, you need to change the nightmode settings, I had the same problem and realized the app was giving a filtered tint to my scriin such as the one you described.

Samsung took Apple's approach and made their screens yellow, for added warmth. LOL.
