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:

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.

All phones should have an IPS display this is the most beautiful screen on any phone perfect touch responsiveness... and it's perfectly visible in direct sunlight at 100% brightness

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.

I'm looking forward to the G4 a lot, so I've been trying to see as much about it as I can, and it seems like sometimes it has a very strong green tint to the screen.

9:45 - Look at the white background behind her on each phone.
https://youtu.be/vOgGg5hX4Qo
0:00 - Look at the color of the google search bar on the G4 and the S6 (not the M9 because it's not trying to be white).
https://youtu.be/AADWxIXdimY?t=17
0:17 - This one doesn't appear to have the green tint, but it is phonearena and the video is low quality, plus their review said it had a very cold colored display, which would fit with the green tint.
https://youtu.be/ulc6Ha9GqH0?t=115
1:55 - Again the google search bar on the G4, and the white parts of certain app icons on the iPhone. This one also doesn't seem to have the green tint.
https://youtu.be/c2Znb6i07xg?t=112
1:52 - Also missing the green tint, and I think I've noticed that when the lights are brighter, the green tint isn't there.
https://youtu.be/arMxaPbO4rc?t=26
0:26 - Missing again.
I'm not sure what to believe. Could these be issues with certain versions LG (or T-Mobile) have been sending out to people? Are these just a couple lemons? Could something else be to blame?
G3 had yellow tint, hope this is NOT true!

Yellow tint? Compared to a Moto G 2014, my G3 has a blueish tint on the screen. I just think that LG G3's screen has quite a precise white balance level.

I agree, I find the G3 to have correct white balance. The issue is the screen is really dull, very low saturation and contrast, and the annoying oversharpening problem.
My screen on the top is more brighter and gives a gradient efect to the status bar or notification bar. Anyone notice that? I saw 3 LG G4 and all seems to have this. And a little light bleed on the bottom which is not very visible. How are yours? Pics : http://imgur.com/a/zCuO4 http://imgur.com/DFQOTuY
same here
In the shop seem like this too
Dual sim H818P model, Thailand
I went yesterday to a Vodafone shop and the G4 from their showroom was the same. A bit lighter in the top of the display. I guess all are the same. But why LG let this happend?
I'm not seeing it on my H812. I'll check my girlfriend's G4 in the morning and see if hers is any different but mine looks solid.
Lg G4 from android authority. Clearly a gradient in the top of the display http://cdn02.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/lg-g4-review-aa-28-of-34-710x399.jpg
Same here. The ones having this "problem" have colder white point and much more brightness than the ones without this problem with the warmer white point of white
Seems different panels were used
Same on the Nexus 5X. It does look cool, its very eaven and very small so it looks like status bar is in fact supposed to be gradient. However there is no light bleed on black screen. No bleeding at all, only when the status bar is colored with bright color, like green, red or orange. Full black screen at full brightnes head on has no light bleeding at all. It may be that LG uses the same binding process of display to midframe like on the G4. Because the pannels are obiously different at least in terms of the resolution but also the size.
For me was annoying enough to return the phone and get another phone from another brand. I tested 4 LG G4 and all have this gradient on the top of the screen, so replacing the phone with same model wasn't a solution. @sageman yes,you are right. I saw a Nexus 5X in a local store with the same issue.
I have an LG G7 (G710EM model) and my phone has an visible digitizer grid on my screen... The grid is visible as a lot of horizontal lines that are barely visible, but are visible and while it doesn't affect the good resolution of the screen, it is a bit annoying to see all the lines when I look at my screen closely... It is visible mostly on brighter colors.... Is it normal or is it a defect?
Hello. I've seen this too. I think that what you're seeing is the white subpixel used for boost screen brightness.
I just received a brand new LG G8 (Sprint) and noticed even at it's brightest it just felt a bit... dark. I put it side by side with my LG G6 and the G6 has a WAYYYY more true White color while the G8 has this slightly reddish tint to it. I did literally everything in settings, and the best I could get for a truer white color is putting it in Sports mode display. I don't know what's going on but it is perfect besides that. Is my screen defective or is that just how the phone is?
My g8 does have a redish\pinkish tint when I rotate to a certain angle, straight on and beyond that particular angle it looks great. A little disappointing but don't know of it is normal
Thanks for responding. I actually was so annoyed that I went to a local sprint store to compare with a G8 there, but none were in stock. Instead I compared it with a V60+ and to my surprise it looks the same way. Also, the S20 was similar, but a little brighter. I can only assume that new phones are dimmer like this because of whatever filtering they are doing to lessen eyestrain (even though I prefer the brighter screen personally). I did everything I could in the Settings, and the best I could get it to look was by toying with settings in Expert Mode or by just putting it in Sports mode. I can live with it once I get used to it I guess... I'm just spoiled by how much brighter my LG G6 is.
I just switched from g6 to g8s. The whites on g6 are much much better. I don't think g6 is brighter. But the better whites might give that impression. I'm gonna miss that white.
