So if you're wondering why your phone is losing it's color or if it's color is fading away.
You've come to the right place.
I stumbled upon this problem when I compared my Gio between my Parent's and my brother's Gio. It seemed as if the color on my Gio had seem to faded.. lol
Then I found out it's just because of my Screen protector!
My Screen protector was also thick so maybe that's why it was blocking some color. It may also be that my Screen protector was not clearly clear.
Hope this helps!
Your phone is completely fine!

I've only had this SGS3 for less than a week and i already have a laundry list of issues.
I recently had my phone slip out of my hands and hit up against a wall, cracking the screen. I have a replacement glass on the way. My issue is yesterday i noticed my screen looked washed out/over contrasted. I thought i had a setting in a rom messed up but i can't seem to find any issue within the rom itself, not to mention if i reboot in to TWRP it's also over contrasted. What i mean by that is blues and greys look purple, and even with brightness set to the lowest setting it's still bright. Currently i have it set to autobright with an app called screenfilter set to 40%.
Only thing i can think of is the lcd itself is damaged, which would be odd because while I wait for my case to get here i've treated it like an egg and i really want a sunnyside up.
Has anyone else had this issue? This is 0/3 for me with Samsung so i hope replaceing the glass somehow fixes this because than i'm dumping this phone as fast as i can.
There is a blue tinted 'smear' in the left center of my phone. I removed my screen protector and realized it wasn't a smudge. It's the screen itself. It doesn't appear in screen shots either. It's apparent with white background.
I also noticed increasingly more dark shadows in my screen when pitch black screens or loading screens show up. They're hard to describe. It's like seeing a lcd with bleeding light but in various smears or shapes.
I've had this since I got the phone on launch day but since then I've noticed the number increase.
I thought maybe I've banged it too much or pressure in my pocket. But I never keep anything in my pocket with my phone besides my leather wallet occasionally. I also had a flip cover too which makes it weirder.
This is a samsung screen thing...most amoled screens have this... I belive its the glue or somthing...if u turn ur screen all the way down and use a screen filter to lower the brightness even more.. it should show up on blacks...there is a thread somewhere buried in qna with same issue.

Hey all,
Just curious how many of you received your Note 3's (or older phones) and noticed any OLED display defects? Specifically, if you see any "stuck" red/green/blue pixels? My last two OLED phones (SGS1, and SGS3) were perfect ('cept for SGS1 burn-in), but I just noticed that my Note3 has tiny red pixel splotches all over.
When I first got my Note3 about a month ago, the first thing I did before I even turned it on the first time was slap on a cheap (Spigen) screen protector. I was wearing a red long-sleeve shirt at the time, so when I powered on the phone I was pissed to see what I thought were pieces of red lint from my shirt under the protector. I didn't care that much because I was planning on replacing the plastic protector with tempered glass anyway, annnndddd, I finally got around to doing that tonight, which is when I discovered that the red lint were actually display defects.
On a 100% white background image I can see one somewhat noticeable 0.5mm red splotch in the lower right corner, and then 8 other much smaller red dots spread out elsewhere. On most other backgrounds, it's barely noticeable, unless you know what to look for or have OCD.
I'm not anal enough to do a warranty return over this (though I know many of you out there are); I was just curious how common this minor problem might be? I know that the original Note had a problem with "crushed blacks", which was thankfully fixed, and that the Note 2 wasn't that bright compared to the Note 3, yada yada. Chasing perfection.
(On a good note, though, I did manage to apply my iloom tempered glass screen protector almost perfectly straight, and without any lint this time, thanks to the steamy shower room. LOVE the glass; never going back to tackier-feeling and greasier-looking plastic protectors, even though they're much cheaper)
Mine suffer from mura effect. It only show in compete dark room though.

Same here, my old SGSII had the same defect (even after several exchanges). I think all Samsung OLED displays have the mura defect except possibly for those few lucky lottery winners. I've learned to live with it, but I cringe every night I use it with the lights off. I hope they fix it at some point, I thought they would've by now.
I feel a bit stupid asking this , but here goes
I recently got an 8.4 Tab S that was 'unused' but the box had been opened.
I removed the plastic protection on the sides and from the camera lens but there didn't seen to be anything on the screen so I presumed the previous owner had removed it.
However the screen does have what I would call an oily appearance when it's turned off.....rather than the mirror black I would expect.
I remember a similar situation when I bought a Nexus 5.......it took me a while to realize there was an out of the box screen protector fitted.
If I look closely there seems to be a whiter area around the home button and the top speaker but its feint.
So...before I start digging around the edge of the screen could somebody advise?
Thanks

Hi,
I got an Oppo Find 7 for my wife - so far a nice phone.
But one thing she has remarked upon is the strange faint markings that come and go on the screen, visible in strong sunlight mainly. These are visible even when the phone is turned off or in lock screen mode so would be a hardware issue.
I know the Oppo Find 7 comes with a factory installed screen protector and could it be that not installed correctly? But I'm not sure.
Here is a picture of the marks - ignore the lint on the screen, its the whitish blurry row of similar marks that I'm talking about.
Thought I'd post here before I go to where I purchased the phone to get a warranty claim.
Actually I can't post a link to the screen flaw image cos XDA wont let me, you'll have to use your imagination.
