Is this thing in my screen normal?

Hi,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus phone yesterday, and last night I noticed this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you see, the screen looks a bit more reddish on a side and a little more greenish on the other. It's more noticeable with low brightness levels, especially when displaying white backgrounds.
Is this normal on these phones? Should I get a refund and / or replacement?
Thanks!

These screens have some issues at lower brightness levels.. that's just the screen though. In your case I guess it would come down to how much it bothers you really

Well, it does. I know these screen have some other issues, such as some noise and granularity, but as far as I've read this is not a common issue. Hence the question, do you guys have it too?

Hallo my friend, seems like we are in the same boat. We have a screen issue thread over 60+ pages in galaxy note Q & A.
check this thread out
The issue u see are definitely associated with these Amoled screens, but the biggest problem of all is the ignorance from everybody thinking it is NORMAL.
Where i say its NOT NORMAL
And still everybody thinks is NORMAL & continue to think they hv the best Super Amoled screen in the world.
I m getting frustrated...

I'd assume that's not normal and it would bother the crap out of me. Try getting a replacement?

try Franco Kernel as it fixes the color... if you buy his app you will be able to control the color to your liking.
but this is definitely not normal

Er, well. If you agree that it's not the way the screen should look, I think I'll get a replacement rather than mess with the kernel. I'll let you know how it went, thanks guys.

[Q] Does this look washed out? Is it a faulty screen?

Take a look at this screenshot of my phone. Does it look washed out to you? I think it's horribly washed out. I had a serious hardware issue with my phone (the microphone failed completely - I even reverted to 100% stock and the issue persisted).

So I had a warranty replacement and this new phone's screen seems horribly washed out. I took a screenshot which I've posted here, but I'm not sure if it does justice to how bad the screen seems to my eyes.
The background looks gray but is supposed to be much more black looking (Tapatalk dark view).
Should I request a replacement due to screen issues?

You do realize that the screenshot will absolutely show nothing that the physical screen is showing you? It's effectively showing a "video out" of the screen. Its showing what the phone hardware is sending to the screen.
You have to take a picture of the screen with another camera...

Looks fine on my iPad 2.

Looks perfectly fine on my notebook too. LOL.
Ya do what the 2nd guy said.

Sometimes my Tapatalk looks like this and other times the app is actually black. Are you saying my screen goes from washed out to not washed out?

I think what he is seeing is the HW acceleration gradient present in ICS.
To the OP, if you go to your settings, do you see the same gradient running from the bottom of the screen and getting progressively darker near the top?

I would recommend using Franco's kernel until voodoo comes out. To me the "hue" is slightly yellowish on stock. Using Franco's kernel it's much nicer.

It isn't washed out. That gradient you see means hardware acceleration is currently enabled.

Mirror Screen Guarder for Samsung Galaxy Note

anyone tried this:
looks like funny idea, but I'd love to know how it affects touchscreen and readability in sunlight

Looks crazy. You have a product link as that's obviously not a note.

not note, but they seem to have the same pic for all 183 devices: http://shop.brando.com/search.php?keyword=Mirror+Screen+Guarder&Submit=Product+Search

Brando protectors are very good. IMO

Under Samsung, note they have one....

Mirror screen protectors affect the quality of the display. You'll see rainbows occasionally.

I love the idea. I'd need to see it on the Note to judge, however.

I cannot say how much I liked that. I want to make a response using the words "Unicorns", "come" and "rainbows", but none will pass my internal smut filter ....

I suppose there are no screen protectors out there that have this feature that is coupled with a privacy sort of filter?

Ive tried this on my iphone.
Be prepared to drain your battery faster as you will need to set your brightness to MAX to be able to see whats behind that mirror especially when youre outside and the sun is so bright, you wont be able to see unless you set to max brightness.
I have a Matte protector on my note, i find it hard to see through it also when im outside.

enjoy man

Have Screen Burn In? Warranty It, Get a New One

Searched, didn't see a similar topic.
If you had Android Wear 1.0 through about 1.2 on your phone, your Moto 360 had a much brighter charging watch face. That much brighter charging screen was actually causing burn-in on your OLED.
You can see if yours is affected by opening the Settings app. If you can see a ring of the charging halo in the background, your phone was damaged by this.
Fortunately, Motorola is honoring this as a warranty issue - you just have to claim it before your one year warranty is up. I now have a brand new first-gen Moto 360 - with an improved watch band clasp too.

Hi, where did you submit request for service?

I got mine warranty replaced (for this issue) by calling Motorola technical support. Despite being clearly outsourced, they seemed to be well aware of this issue - and processed it without too much futile troubleshooting.

moto 360 has an LCD Display , not an OLED!

I have burn-in too. It's most noticeable on white backgrounds as a yellowish ring. I only noticed it recently but I think my warranty might be up. Didn't think an LCD could have burn in, but there it is...

Could someone post a picture of the burn-in? I want to see how bad it actually is.

I took these with my watch at max brightness. Normally, it's more subtle. It's a yellow ring that's strongest at the 3 o'clock position, and decreases clockwise -- exactly where the charging ring would start.

In person, the white backgrounds actually look the worst. I have a nice white watch face that I simply won't use because of this.
I mostly use dark watch faces though so I don't notice it. It's invisible on black and most of the Moto stock faces (e.g. Dials).

how can LCD get burn-in? that's so weird

Light bleeding bottom right corner

Anyone can see small light bleeding at bottom right corner?
Visible on light colors as shining vertical line.
No big deal but on that price could be without it.

no i don't think i have that here or at least can't see it..

The only light bleeding I see is between the notification LED and the sensor that is right next to it. (But not the one right next to the speaker.) It's kind of hard to even tell anything is there during the day.
EDIT: NVM It is the one right next to the speaker, which I think is the light sensor. That's not ideal, but ah well.

Hard to take photo of it. It is shadow from bottom and shining line at corner. Visible especially at daylight.
