So I just just got my second Galaxy Nexus as my work phone. I also have one for personal use. My wife has one also, plus I returned my personal Gnex twice for screen problems.
I'm bored and I figured I would post the differences between the 3 we have at home, and the 2 I returned.
All 5 phones have been perfectly identical in 4g and 3g connecting, hardware performance etc. The only thing that has been different between all 5 phones are the screens. None of the screens have been equal to any of the others. Some have banding, some have purplish grays, while one had an issue with max brightness. Out of the three we currently have now, I would say that only one is near perfect, while the other 2 are adequate enough to keep (one produces banding on grays, and the other has purple tones associated with grey colors).
Why are all the screens so different? is it amoled? Is it just the GNEX? I have had plenty of LED, LCD, and CRT's monitors in the past, and a few amoled screens, but I haven't experienced anything like this before. I'm currently sitting in front of three identical LED monitors and they all produce the same effect on the same settings.

Anyone have a green spot on their pictures when they take a pic on a white background? My nexus one had a similar issue but it was a red spot (I think my HD2 had it too) here's a sample

dirt spot
get some windex and clean it up with a nice dustless wipe
Yes I do but not so obvious on my S2 and its yellow , its a defect present on many phones, google for galaxy s 4g tmobile yellow spot. Supposedly Samsung was going to fix it in gingerbread update but they never did!!!
I think cleaning it solved it. I'm not sure because it doesn't always happen (depends what the cameras looking at). thank you
Now I see a SLIGHT pinkish tint. It doesn't bother since I've dealt with it before and its not that big of a deal but that's my experience.

Count me in. I have the same problem. Only on the 8meg cam. The 2 meg is fine. I wonder if different ROM's may effect this.
I have the same issue,it's a pink spot though and turns green at night !
Definitely a camera issue, I clean the lense a it still there. Sometimes pink, sometimes green depend on the light condition.

Why this difference ? The yellow on the 2nd HOX (august) is horrible.
Actually, the right version looks better to me and definitely looks a much better white.
The one on the left looks blue to me, I think the warmer screen produces better black levels.
To answer your question, there are 2 different screens.
I 'think'
The warmer one have panel_id=0x294000f (Sharp)
The colder one have panel_id=0x4940014 (acer)
Warmer: better blacks, higher contrast, no grid lines.
Cold: more eye pleasing when you use it in person (not in photos), but shows grid lines & doesn't have as good contrast or blacks.
I think the yellow tinted screen is the better of the two.

Not sure if this in the right place (if not, mods please move), but I recently bought a T-Mobile variant Samsung Galaxy S III (T999L). Target was having a sale on their Brightspot Mobile devices, and $150 for a Galaxy S III was too good to pass up. I've had the phone for a week and a half, and it's a really nice device. The screen at any brightness is amazing. I've used a few AMOLED and SLCD screens over time, but my main device for the past year has been a Nexus 5. Nothing that I've owned compared to this AMOLED screen.
One thing that I've noticed, however, with the screen is that it has some inconsistent splotches on it. What are these splotches you may ask? They only are noticeable on very dark backgrounds with the very dimmest brightness setting. When viewing something dark in a dark room with auto-brightness turned on is how I first noticed it. There are some dark lines and spots on the screen.
Here is the screen with a black background in a dark room, on auto-brightness:

Look at all of those marks. They're hardly noticeable, but they're there. In fact, the only way I could pick them up on camera was to set my DSLR up on a tripod and shoot a 60-second exposure.
Anybody seen anything like this before? Should I be worried about the longevity of the screen? It's almost a non-issue for me, but I thought I'd bring it up. Thanks!
When I view light images, like the list of threads in tapatalk, the bottom of the screen has a different tint than the top. This isn't my first amoled device, and I know that whites aren't usually as good as an lcd, but this seems really bad to me. It's much more noticeable in low light when the screen isn't as bright. I don't have a way of taking a picture now, maybe I can take one tomorrow.
Not sure what I want to do, but maybe I'll wait a little while and then do a warranty exchange to get one from a different batch compared to this one.

I have owned almost every high end phone out there and this phones screen still impresses me every single time I turn it on
You can sort of see the difference in color on the bottom of the screen compared to the top.

Switch it out with at&t... this screen is flawless. Anything less is a defect.
I got a new one. It's much better, plus my bluetooth works better

left: pixel 2 xl right: nexus 6p
anyone with this problem? i need to take computer screens at work today and found out that my pixel 2 xl flickers very badly.
the black bars appears on the pictures too.... so it could not be the screen.
i don't have this problem when i'm on my 6P, is this normal on the pixel?

I have the same problem on my Pixel 1.
This happens with any camera; it depends on the refresh rate of the screen and camera. You could try changing your locale to the US or UK, depending on what you're on now. This usually changes the refresh rate of the camera.
Yeah, there are multiple threads at the Google Pixel forums about this. But don't waste your time going through them. They basically just say all phones have this, it's all in your head, reboot the phone, run it is safe mode. clear camera cache, blah, blah. Since nothing has been done about it since the phone came out, t is probably hardware and not software. I compared my Pixel 2XL to a Note 4 and Nexus 5X, and the pixel has the worst banding.
Here's a typical thread, though not the most annoying. In many, the shills will claim it is the same as all phones have, and repeat that over and over.
