Hello everyone
I bought an LG G4 last week and it had a clearly visible mesh pattern on the screen. It was most visible on white bright backgrounds. It was uniform over the whole screen. The funny part is you could also see it when the screen was off and there was a bright light shining on it.
I had it traded in at the shop and they agreed that it was a defect so they traded it in for another G4. This one has it too, but it's much less visible.
I have seen that the display models do not have this mesh thing at all even on the brightest setting. Some do some don't.
Does anyone else here see it? I have a serial number that starts with 511 if that matters.
I also have this problem. I have to see some display units because it may be the way that pixels are arranged. It those dispaly units are ok I am going to get a replacement.

I have a Tilt 2, and just recently noticed that when the screen is off, a section of the screen has the "rainbow like warp color". Its not oil or grease, it wont wipe off so the problem must be in the screen, though it looks like its on the surface. However, I do not notice any degradation when the screen is on. Everything color wise and everything looks normal.

Should I be worried about this? Is this a sign that even though the phone is new, and its never been mis-handled, that the screen is going to have problems soon? I have insurance on the phone and not sure if I could even get it replaced at this point, or if id have to wait until the screen actually has issues when its on.

I have it too. But it doesn't interfere with my use of the device, so I don't really care...
No there all like that, I have gone through 2 and they both had more then 4 dead pixels as well. Find a dark black photo or just turn your camera on and put you finger over the lens and you will find many.

The Newton Rings are probably very prevalent. I can’t say that I agree with your statement on the dead pixels though. Sounds like you got unlucky with both devices. I’ve tested mine with 4 images for black, red, green, and blue. Every pixel works fine for me.
Its caused by the layers between the touch screen digitizer and the actual LCD screen. The soft flexible LCD materials touch and form Newton's Ring patterns that appear as the pictures show.
On my old phone (A kaiser) the original screen did not exhibit this behavior, but when I replaced the screen, the new one did...
Luck of the draw,and no it is nothing bad...
I had this problem in european tp2 model... took it for repair and they changed the screen in warranty...
EDIT: Someone please move this post to troubleshooting, this is between my first posts on this forum, sorry.
Hello,
I have an issue with my T325, I have a white light bleed spot that is visible only on white or light pages between the two slim slots (in the middle of the screen but a bit to left). They are not dead pixels, many cheap phones have such a brighter spot.
I bought the tablet brand new 5 months ago, I have warranty for one and a half more years but it takes half a month or more until they see, repair and return the device if I send it in. (I haven't paid for premium service)
The spot appeared about 3 months ago but I told myself that I will not change my otherwise perfect screen for a brighter 0.3cm white spot even if it's a little annoying sometimes ( I had already exchanged two tablets until I got one without dead pixels or dirt inside the screen). I haven't dropped, pushed the screen on that point or did anything that could have damaged it.
However, at the beginning of this month i wiped my screen with a cloth that had something very hard on it and I didn't see and managed to get a deep 1 cm scratch (I can actually hook my nail in it) exactly in the middle of my screen and I didn't have a screen protector (who needs one on a tablet ? ). I am thinking on convincing somehow the service to change the screen because of the light bleeding. The two issues are unrelated, there is only one scratch on the screen clearly from a swiping motion.
Does anyone have an idea on whether the screen is defective or there is some strain in that point ?
Did anyone have a similar issue and managed to solve it ? Should I try sending it in ?
Hi to everyone.
I've just bought my Lg G4. It was second time, and the same issue. I don't know what I have to do
I see touch grid on bright wallpapers and colors, mostly bright like white bright blue etc. It's annoying because it's second time that I have the same problem, earlier lg was resend. SN is 602 and 1.1 version. This is visible under the sun and off screen. Lines are mostly horizontal when we hold phone vertically.
This is problem with original foil protector or new G4 have problem with that? Please help me. Thank you in advance.
I see em on mine too its the digitizer grid. Not a problem normal just another anoyance from lg. But its good. G2 and g3 the digitizer was on the outside so if the glass cracked or even got a deep scratch the touch screen quit working the diffrence with g4 is the digitizers under the glass. So a cracked glass the screen should stil respond. Like i said normal just an anoyance. Mines real bad in the sun but. Thats the only thing i can think of with it.
Hi,
I've just noticed that on the left hand side of my screen I have a vertical bar around 2mm wide that looks corrupted in some way - like filled with horizontal hatched lines that I'm assuming are defective pixels or similar. It's a bit hard to describe, and even harder to get a decent photo of the problem. The attached is the best I could do.
The issue seems to be there all of the time, but is less noticeable on solid white / black backgrounds than it is on block colours.
Is this likely to be hardware issue, and would it be covered under UK warranty?
Thanks

That definitely looks like a faulty panel. Nothing like that on my 10 (Carbon Grey, Tianma).
I'd get in touch with HTC UK and see what they think.
I have exactly the same issue and i've had my phone a week. I didn't notice it at first but it's definitely more noticeable on non white backgrounds, i've checked it with a screen tester which you can go through blocks of colour with. I also have the same slight dip in the top left.
How has your warranty claim gone with HTC? I'm going to try phoning them up today. I bought my phone from Very.co.uk but would rather deal directly with HTC.
Following this as well as I have stuck pixels in the middle of the screen. Very have been difficult to deal with so I'd really like to know how things go with HTC UK
Hey just as a follow up. very.co.uk refunded me with no questions asked. They don't do replacements so you have to re-order.
Just want to check with other user on whether your unit have a bleeding at bottom chin and side bezel. It's visible with grey background colour. Bottom chin will bright more with white colour. The bleeding/bright light at bottom does not appear at lowest or highest brightness. I'm quite reluctant to return it as there is not much complain on this and whether this is actually normal.
On my 2+ yr old Samsung S9... the cables and maybe (hope not, but...) the USB-C plug are getting loose. If it's plugged in to connect or to charge, I often have to move it around and wedge it against something to keep the connection cable. After doing that more over the last 10 months or so, a roundish "glow" developed on my screen - half fuzzy circle around the USB-C jack/plugin. It doesn't always show, maybe because of color - it's always a light greenish.
I don't believe your phone's screen's behavior is normal, and if it is, you should keep taking it back until you get one that's not normal and actually works right. It's not working properly, and if you got it recently... personally, I'd take it back. Despite the hassle.
(some stores MUCH worse than others - paid over $320 cash up front for a 3 year warranty at Worst Buy.. they said if it breaks, if I even Lose it, anything, bring it in, and get a new one) couple months later it wasn't charging and acting bad enough to be unusable. Brought it in... Sorry, you don't have $100 in the account you bought it with, so we can't help you! Geek Squad? Moron Squad? Bold faced lying salesmen.. rediculous. Best buy scam, got $300+ out of me for Nothing!

Yes there is about 3mm of bleed from the bottom of the phone (I believe it's normal). Are you able to send a picture with the grey background in a dark room?
Do you have the 10t or 10t pro?
