I noticed on my new note on dark backgrounds some screen issues. I noticed a purpleish smear when i scroll on some dark background pages. Especially when i was scrolling thru a page here on xda on gray images a purple color smear would appear. Did anybody else come across this issue? Im exchanging it for another one tomorrow.

It won't matter if you exchange it or not. The new screen technology makes the pixels actually turn off so blacks are true blacks. When they turn back on it causes that purple smear, or at least that's the theory prior are saying in other threads about this issue.

Interesting thank you for the info...i just read that the s4 experiences the same problem. A 700 dollar phone i dont think this should be an issue.

I'm noticing this on Tapatalk right now - the purple smear with the brightness all the way down. I don't know about the color, but the squish blurred effect is surely intentional. I'll try messing with some of the color settings to see if it's affected.

Hey all!
I've noticed that when my screen is a bit dimmer and I'm viewing whites like on Facebook or even in the xda app the coloring seems "dirty" and it isn't a clear white. Does anyone else notice this too? Is this expected?

I have noticed this as well and keep my brightness manually at about 35% to prevent it. From what I understand it is normal for this screen technology to display whites like that when the screen brightness is low.

Whenever my screen displays a black color in a certain few spots,you can see a weird black spot underneath that looks like oil leaking into the screen. You can only see this when the screen is dark and everything else works fine. Do you think this will be a big problem?

All amoled phones have that. It looks like an ink spots or blotches. You can only see it in a pitch black room. Its not a problem and shouldn't be noticeable during regular use. You can get an app called LCD screen test if you really want to see the blotches in a dark room
..but I wouldn't worry about it!

Thanks, I was a bit worried that it might cause hardware problems in the future

Hello I have 4 perfect circles going vertically on the right half of my screen, they are about a half inch diamenter. They have an outline of about a 1/10th of an inch outline.
Anyone else have this issue? I tried to take a screenshot but this is a screen issue so it doesn't come out on the pictures. Ill try to get a picture.
Any input on what they could be??
They are more easily viewed on whote backgrounds or any light color background

First ive heard of that. Probably need to try to send it back for exchange.

Did you have an image on screen for an extended period of time? This sounds like a burn in. It happens on these screens when something is on the screen without moving or any changes. It just burns in. If you go thru some of the settings on the phone there is an option that helps against this.

I have nothing of that shape 4 circles...

If I use my alarm clock the stock Android one and dim the screen so the large clock shows will that lead to a burn in? It's something I would always do with my old lcd but now I'm scared with this phone

Are you using a screen protector? If so, try the burn in test without that on and see if those circles are still there. It might just be the screen protector.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
The four circles may be correlated to the four fingertips of your left hand. Could it be that the screen protector is damaged with some kind of oil deposits? Have any KFC lately
I have the same thing. You only see it when you look at the phone from the side... so I don't mind at all

Yes leaving the screen on all night with the clock can cause burn in.

Wait.... so any image in the background can cause burn-in on these screens? That's some BS....I always have a background with images on for a good period of time....
Its always something.

It is NOT AS SERIOUS as on this image(its a image from google)
On my display there are maybe 8 small dots and a little bigger one in the screen corner. It is only visible on a totally black wallpaper.
What is it????

Mine 2 appear only when the screen is completely black...not off but when it is completely black like in a wallpaper or video

If you're talking about the individual pixels that stand out, then you may have a few stuck pixels... not dead pixels... stuck pixels. This is indicative of a damaged and/or defective panel. Truthfully, other than an RMA or replacing the panel, there's not much you can do about this.
However, if you're talking about the black splotches on the screen, that's a frequently occurring anomaly common to OLED displays. It's called miura, and it's perfectly normal. It's not a manufacturing defect and it's not a sign of damage to the panel. Furthermore, it should only be noticeable on a completely black screen and in a nearly pitch black environment, like in a very dark room.
For your sake, I really hope you were talking about the splotches and not the funky pixels. I hope this has been informative and/or useful/helpful. Take care and have a good one man!

Guys I noticed something really annoying where as when there is a white background application like play store, WhatsApp, even xda I could see some particles that are not moving when I'm scrolling. I thought it was screen protector so I removed it, cleaned the screen and I could still see these particles which I guess they are dirty. Our are they something else maybe screen is damaged? And if it's dirt how did it get in there? It's only a month used.
If you could try it with me on your note 2 that would be great.
Put brightness on maximum no auto. Open play store and look closely and scroll to see any stable Black dots.

If you mean that white things aren't really white like other devices and somehow has black spots, than thats normal I guess.. I have the same thing.. that annoyed me for a while but I became used to it.
It might be something to do with non-Pentile amoled screen.

Yes. And not only the whites any other bright colour like here in xda u can see black spots, very tiny but plenty that they are obvious. I just want a confirmation if that is dirt and not my screen is faulty somehow.
