Yo guys, just got a G4 today and I'm happy enough with it however coming from my G3, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, the whites just seem to be a fair bit whiter on the G3 and the G4's display looks a lot warmer. . I'll see if I can capture it on camera, but does anybody else have this issue or could it just be the case that this is how LG intended the pannel to be?
Just to mention that I can't compare it to a display model as the phone isn't stocked in my country.
Ive looked at like 5 G4 displays and none of them are the same
Dang, so it's essentially the luck of the draw if you get a good pannel? :/
Mine looks great, no tint color at all.
I'll check my friend's later if there's inconsistency or not.
I have 2 G4's, which I have already replaced one of the 2 I have. None of the three screens are the same. Also brightness differs quite a bit between the two I currently have. lastly, one is more yellow while the other is more blue.
Its a pretty large discrepancy between them

Yep I even went to the t-mobile store and between the two on display and mine they all had a different looking screen.

Hmm... I've no idea if I should send it back and get a replacement or just simply get a S6. I really do like the phone apart from the issue.

IMO ? Getting a S6 in replace of a G4, it's a rollback.
I'm noticing that on mine too. I currently have two G4s because I still have to ship one back, but the one I'm returning has clearer and crisper whites than the one that was sent to replace my old one. But the new one I got has so far had much better battery life so I think I can deal with having the screen be slightly worse if it means the battery lasts longer.

Get it replaced the G4 screen is actually a colder than normal looking screen.
personally i prefer warm colours as its easier on the eye but if you're into your whites then they should be colder. The tint wont go away. I rcall people with one plus complaining about it. However it was a bit more blatant as in one part of the screen would have it rather than the whole one.
There is variation between screens, the brightness has been mentioned by reviewers. I think its the usual kinks from early runs of the factory cycle. people buying later will have less issues.

Hi,
Ive seen a few other posts like this and was curious , at the moment i cant use auto brightness becouse if i do this transparant line becomes quite easy to see.
However if i set brightness to 60% i dont see this line. However i do still see it on grey backgrounds and if i have the browser open and pull taskbar down its still quite obvious.
Im not to sure wether i should bother swapping this phone as last month i saw around 5 / 6 sIIs with the same issues and even blobs. So im thinking with 1 line im not doing 2 bad.
If people think its worth swapping i might just do that as ive spoken to shop and they are fine with it. However i dont want to get caught swapping phones if this is part of how amoled works or traits of useing amoled as i could end up with one thats worse.
Any opinions views well appreciated i can post a pic if needed but im guessing most people that post here will know what im talking about
One thing id like to add is that this phone is simply awesome , ive owned sII and sensation xe and ended up returning them but i really do like this phone ics is well nice
thought i would update this thread with pictures view appreciated thanks.
Sorry, but this is how aMOLED works. At lower brightness levels, it cannot keep every pixel in check. This is especially true when they've crammed 1280*720 pixels on a 4.65'' screen. If it is not a hassle for you to swap (i.e. you bought it at a brick and mortar store) you could swap it out. You might get one slightly better, or slightly worse. I had a couple of lines on mine, but I didn't mind it. The price really through me out though...
It's just what you have to deal with to get the best blacks...
fixed mine
Hi,
I had the same issue and ran an app from the market called Dead Pixel Test... I left it on Yellow colour for a few seconds then alternated to other colours... had to do this for like an hour before the white line was completely gone! Now been a week and the line didn't come back so I'm happy that a simple software like this was able to fix it!
Try it out...

How is a dead pixel tester app supposed to fix your phone?
Break in the pixels possibly? Amoled pixels burn at different rates.

I also have the transparent line
I had the transparent line on the screen too. It was clearly visible on light & grey backgrounds such as when opening a new tab in the browser and loading the Android Market.
This coupled with a yellow tint to the screen on white images, the average battery life (for me at least) and the volume bug which took a while to get fixed were enough reasons for me to return the phone and continue using my S2.
I definitely will buy the Galaxy Nexus again though. I liked the hardware and the screen clarity was great and stock ICS is superb. It was just a shame about the warm colours and transparent lines. Hopefully these get fixed in the near future via new production batches or a software fix. By then maybe an extended battery will be out too.
just to update this thread swapped the phone and my new one has no transparant line , however my new one does have some crazy banding which can be viewed here :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382073
mad how different 2 screens can be again will be retuning , this phone is awesome but seems to be let down my samsungs build quality :/
Just to clarify a point that keeps being made. This is how SOME AMOLED screens are, not all.
I have a perfect screen as do many others, if it bothers you, exhchange it for a new one as it is possible to get one without defect.
Just kind of annoying how comments are made that make a blanket statement about all screens, when it really isn't. Sure it might be a typical problem with AMOLED, but it's not how they work and certinaly not a problem with all to have lines down and across them.
My phone seems to have a gray issue. the lower 20% of the screens grays are much darker when it should be uniform. I can see that in horizontal view that the gray status bar gets noticably darker towards the affected area.. Whites also have a very veryyy slight pinkish purple tint. This is my second replacment S4. Is this common? Or should I deal with it since probably majority of these amoled screens suffer from this?
EDIT: whites have a pinkish purplish tint ONLY in the affected area. The unaffected area of the screen has perfectly correct colors as far as my eyes can tell
Yep this seems to be a common problem.
My s4 has this and lots of other people have reported the pink tint with their phones.
I'm on my second s4 as well. The first one had faint vertical lines on the screen.
Hopefully Samsung comes out w a fix for it.
The galaxy s2 had a similar issue where the left side of the screen had a yellow tint and it was fixed w a new update.
Thats dissapointing to hear. The screen is so beautiful usually. Then I notice the pink when reading websites or greys on the reddit app. Either I stick with this or go for the HTC one I guess

Yeah I was thinking of switching to the htc one as well but I really don't want to give up the 5 inch screen, user replaceable battery, and micro sd slot.
You can try another exchange but there's no guarantee they you will get a better screen and you may end up with another screen issue.
Hopefully we get a fix from Samsung on this.

Yeah I had this issue, I did three exchanges before I found one that was good enough for me to live with
I'm just sayin
Against my better judgement, I decided to try for another replacement to see if I could get a better screen.
No such luck. The third replacement still has the pinkish tint but it's at the top instead of the bottom. However the tint is actually worse than the second unit I had.
I'm pretty much done with replacements now and will just live with it.
Hopefully, Samsung comes out with a software fix for this issue.

Yeah they threatened me with " after this exchange, you'll have to go thru Samsung warranty" statement. I said well I'm not leaving out of this store with another screen like this. So I made them open the unit and make sure the issue wasn't prevalent or as bad as my previous unit. Good thing the first one they opened was acceptable for me to live with....... By the way it's not a software issue. Somewhere there are some inconsistencies with how the screens are manufactured.

The yellow tint issue was a bit different because the tint was applied throughout the entire screen, whereas with this issue it's prevalent in different areas of the screen. The only update they can issue to remedy this would be to replace the entire screen.

Actually the yellow tint on the s2 was on the left side of the screen, so the s4 issue is basically the same.

I had the same problem on my old N7 and went through 2 of those as well...
I've got some pretty bad backlight bleeding at the top/center of the screen. Literally looks like a dark grey to black gradient across the status bar. Other than that the screen looks pretty good. I say pretty good because I still think Asus could take a tip from Samsung in the display dept. But better color reproduction and contrast than the old N7 and love the 19x12 res. I'm gonna really enjoy reading on this thing once i get a good one. I just can't handle backlight bleed; it's a pet peeve of mine. It's going back to Best Buy tomorrow and I hope they have one more in stock for me. To anyone buying one, I would open it in store and check it out before leaving. My Best Buy is 30min and a load of traffic away.
Anyone else having this problem?
No backlight bleeding like my old nexus had. I haven't noticed any problems with mine , they really upped the quality with that $30 increase from last year

i think google's letting asus too much on the free rein. there's been better quality control on the previous nexuses, apart from asus. do try to chck out how sammy made the n10. that's what we can compare with n7 (both) and cry and curse asus.
seeing all that, I'm waiting for the next batch to come out, since I don't have enough reaources to replace a device once bougjt, so I just won't be taking any chances.

My original N7 has backlight bleeding along the left side, most noticeable on the bottom. Wife's has similar backlight bleed. Seems like some of this has nothing to do with batches. I got my original N7 in December, long past the first batches.
Just seems like they have some quality issues. Like the three org N7s that I went through before hitting on one that didn't have screen lift. I did finally get one, but it took some effort and returns on my part.
As for my newly purchased second generation N7, there are a few problems with it. Aside from very minor light bleed that is only visible in a black room, light bleed is not one of the issues.
I do hope that the second generation problems are worked out in subsequent batches, because the screen itself is a beautiful thing.
there is backlight bleed top center

as I said, google's probably giving asus free rein too much, and asus is putting all that axe on our necks. They should be considerate about quality, because quality only is what matters. see all the good specs going down the drainage.
Mine only has it at the top like you, but its only noticeable during really dark scenes in a poorly lit area. Most IPS display will show some sort of light bleed. Speaking from experience, if its not one thing, then its another. Everything else is excellent. No dead pixels, popping sounds from the speaker, etc, etc. I swapped my N4 3 times before I got a unit that I thought was pretty good. And even then, its still not perfect since it too has some light bleed. If it really bothers you, then prepare yourself for what could possibly be a goose chase. :good:
Hi, Bought M9 yesterday after 30 minutes decided to sell. main reason was display. İt felt some how step back from M8. Display is greenish, not as bright also viewing angles is worst reminded me LG G2. also when you tilt screen little bit you get rainbow effects i assume thats becuase display not being in cell. but that happened to me o M7 few weeks later i found really good display maybe should never buy new phoenes as they come out. i did have around 300 mb update after that phones was still hot, and camera was not good.
Why did i buy M9 i like HTC as company i would buy their product instead of Samsung but now i feel a little disapointed. i think they could have made phone better but instead went lazy.
Before i get bashed i put picture of phone
Its the same screen as the M8, I had concerns with the colour depth as its not quite as vibrant as the M8, although that's down to the configuration in the display driver, should be easy to tweak at either htcs end or when kernel source drops.
I have not seen any rainbowing or angle issues so you may have picked up a duff/faulty screen

I really do hope so! I will build a kernel using the m8 display drivers if it doesn't... When looking through the camera its actually a little more true to life than the m8 was
The screen on mine is slightly better than my M8. Much better white balance. It's not at all green. The phone has it's faults, lots of them, but the screen is not one of them.
Sorry to hear that and at least you gave it a try. By now I am very much hesitant getting the M9. I love HTC product; coming from Nexus 5; I promised myself to only by HTC phones again. The m8 has spoiled me so much with build quality and the software optimization. By now M9 has shown its definitely not a step forward from M8. I say this because look at the changes at HTC; CEO resigned and also the main designer left; plus all the negative reviews speaks for itself. Hopefully by now HTC learned their lesson.

So I received my m9 a couple days ago and can really notice the green tint, haven't decided if I wanna return it because I don't know if this is normal, or something that can be fixed through software tweaks or what. I talked to Tmo and they said it was noted across the board that the displays have a greenish tint, basically told me to wait it out for software fix since I'm most likely to get another one like this. My m8 has had a blueish tint bit never really notice it until I play with a different device for a bit.

Is this normal? Greys have a green tint which is really noticeable on low brightness. Is this a limitation of AMOLED? But I don't recall this issue on my 6P or Note 4.
Hmm. Not having this issue...
Greys are really greenish. Though it happens only at some certain brightness level (a little more than the lowest).
The panel apparently is of low quality and has issues with greys. It's detailed in the anandtech.com review

Guess that answers that, cheers!. (although mine might be right side of the screen, not bottom)
On my phone, the bottom part is also "greener" than the upper part. This is especially visible when brightness is set low (which I do when not outside, because it totally suffices).
Do more people have this problem?
Would returning the unit and getting a new OP3 make sense, or are these unevennesses typical??

The findings on Anandtech have nothing to do with the quality and everything to do with the calibration, which is just software.
Hi, is it darker like the pics from my thread? I think I have the same issue on my display, just at the middle of the screen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/dark-line-oled-screen-t3402293
One thought came to me: In the upper half of the OP3 are the parts which get warm when the phone "works". Perhaps the part of the screen which is warmed up regularly loses a bit of green tint, while the lower, colder part remains as it is??? Just a thought...
I get a weird purpley/dark colour on greys and when scrolling white font on black background, but only on minimum brightness.
After reducing brightness below a threshold (just above the minimum) the colours across the display seem to shift

I got my replacement phone today. And. The display is even more worse. The colors are uneven, like some of them have here. The bottom is greener and the top slighlty pinkier/the correct color.
Argh. That's what I'm afraid of (sent my device in for replacement on Saturday):
That, as a replacement, simply someone grabs a box with a new device and sends it to me, without testing.
Edios, what did you write in the service request as your reason why you want a replacement? Did you write about the display problems?
Welcome to the lottery...
Does anyone know: If the 2nd device also has a defect, and the 14 day return time since I got the 1st device is already over, can I demand from Oneplus that they take back the 2nd device and that I get my money back??

The problem is, they provide only a single replacement and now insisting to give a refund. But I want this device cos there's no other device that I'm interested in. And it's out of stock also.
For what it's worth, these sound like typical AMOLED issues. There are long threads in the Galaxy S6, S7, etc. forums with people experiencing the exact same thing. AMOLEDs just seem to not be as consistent as LCDs in the quality control department and it's always just the luck of the draw whether you get one with green or pink tints or not.
