You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the OnePlus 3's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The screen can go pretty dark. However for me the contrast suffers a lot when on the lowest two settings! Gaming videos on youtube get really hard to watch because everything is just dark.
The colors also shift with lower brightness. Especially the grays turn really blue. My swiftkey gray theme looks like I have a blue theme when the screen is dimmed.
Having a night mode shortcut on the notification tray, it's easy to use this device for reading in bed. Also the display will get dark enough for those kind of things.

I think it not that easy to set. If you set it to minimum you barely see anything and like 1 mm on screen above minimum it's extremely bright compared to min. Personally I think the auto-adjustment feels kinda buggy, too.

Yeah, it's awful! It seems like it never does what I want it to do. It isn't bright enough in indoor environments that have adequate lighting. And in dark environments, it is extremely dim and also randomly has random fits where it goes to maximum brightness for a few seconds and then goes back extremely dim again.
I hate it, and have it turned off unfortunately. Would like to see it corrected in an OTA from OnePlus.
About 4 nits according to a video on YouTube
I random fits are very hurtful to eyes... any one using any good apps to control the auto brightness?

I tried the best auto brightness in sultan opo's build. Just use the brightness bar to customize the brightness in auto function. Hope someone can port it into our op3 , more specifically oxygenos

I was driving while using google maps as navigation it was a very sunny/bright day and i couldnot see much on the screen so i just disabled auto brightness some how the screen got so dim i could not see any thing at all.I had to stop on emergency lane of high way and struggle to see any thing at all because it was so dim i couldnt do any thing at all by chance i got to the auto birghtness again and put it in auto mode again.Damn this birghtness thing of op3 is seriously killing me!

I like the minimum brightness, it's like having included a screen filter (that often distorts colors, but that is what all do). If you don't like this you can easily set the brightness bar at 60-70%, which won't be too bright (compared to other screens (Samsung S3))
The minimum brightness is quite bright, such that it hurts my eyes to look at my phone when just woke up even with night mode still on and minimum brightness.
Lux dash has fixed this issue for me
The display seems really good however once in a while my display dims as if adaptive brightness is on yet I have it disabled. I touch the screen and it brightens back up. My timeouts are set to several minutes.

I also feel it's too bright for me.
My temporary solution is install a app called screen filter.
Any Solution?
Has anyone got a solution for this? I received my OP3 yesterday and this adaptive brightness is a complete mess. Hows the situation with custom CM roms? Maybe is because of defective light sensors or connectors? My previous LG G3 on Android 6.0 had a flawless auto brightness control. So I think it's not a Android 6.0 bug...
Who actually makes this display?
The Mrs's LG G Flex 2 also suffers with poor black levels which is odd for an OLED.

The display hurts my eyes when I woke up in the middle of the night, even at the lowest brightness.
I found an app called Screen Filter that lowers the brightness even further. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5oYXhvciJd
Does anyone know if this is safe to use? Will it harm the AMOLED display at all?
It's funny, the lowest brightness is too bright for me when I need it, and the highest brightness is too dim for me when I need it.
I use Screen Filter on my original Galaxy S, and it works great.
I've never had an issue with it.
Been using screen filter on my Galaxy Nexus for months, great app. Now using on my Beautiful GS3.

Exactly my experience too. I love AMOLED's, but would it kill them to work on incorporating some Pixel Q technology. And really how hard can it be to just widen the range of brightness to capture the movie theater low if a stupid free app can do it?
There should be a huge range and we should be able to select the lowest and highest. Then let auto-bright take care of the rest. Or maybe even should have the ability to calibrate the auto-bright since a 20yr old's eye sees about double the amount of light of a 60yr old's eye...
Lux works much, MUCH better in my opinion

Try it, you will be sold! lol, im actually gonna go post about it, EVERYONE should know about it lol, after you set up 5-6 different ''levels'' and (imo) set it to adjust on screen open, its amazing
All it does is put a transparent black filter over the display. Not going to harm it. I had this app for my iPhone.

Thanks for sharing that. There are some apps that totally change the user experience. This seems like it will be one of them based on initial use. Too bad Samsung didn't calibrate this better out of the box.
can filter apps these make whites BRIGHTER and whiter? Whites are dim and yellow/pinkish next to LCDs. Very dim and dirty looking say on Google News or email.
ive been using this for a while as well. great for when in a movie lol! really handy

Exactly. Nothing to worry about. It won't harm your screen at all.
I've been using Screen Filter for a while now... but I may give that Lux a try. It looks pretty cool.
The one problem I've had with the Note 1 is the retina burning brightness, even on the lowest settings. Especially at night, in dark rooms.
Is the Note 2 similar?
Thanks

This doesn't answer your question, but the free app Screen Filter allows you to lower the brightness below minimum. I use it on my Galaxy S3 when reading at night. Like you, I find the minimum brightness on Samsung screens too bright at times. Just thought I'd mention it.
Brighter screen is better isn't it? I mean you can always turn the brightness down...on the other hand, if the screen is not bright enough...you can't really do anything about it can you? !

It is bright but not overwhelming if you mean that. I like the fact that it makes it easier to see in the sunlight.

That's just the thing. On the Note, you couldn't dial it down too far. In a dark room, it was bright such that without apps like screen filter I couldn't look at the phone. On screen filter is alright, except the display then looks overly blue.

my display way too bright, when lowering the brightness to the minimum, its still relatively bright enough. some note 2 displays I've seen had a different brightness than mine even though both levels were same for both phones. its an amoled thing.
Are u worry about screen burning issue? my note 1 got it after 6 month usage..note 2 I'm not sure, hav to wait another 3 month to see the effect, since i just got it 3 month ago...

You can always try different screen modes in settings -> display
I dont think that those screens are too bright, but rather becausr theyre too big. Even on the lowest setting, there is so much light generated by such a big screen that this might be it. Screen filter app may help.
Note 2 minimum brightness is definitely dimmer than Note 1, since I came from Note 1. So it is not bright at minimum setting IMO.
I use this program to give me fine-grained control of screen brightness at night.

it's very well thought out in the way it works and puts an entry into the notification bar.

Used that app, works great, so thanks for the suggestion man. Especially at night, I am pretty sure it is saving me some juice. What I am wondering is, is there an app which does the complete opposite of this? As in, one which allows you to increase the brightness more than the maximum level for n7100? Tried searching for one on the playstore but didn't find one
The thing is, I am in India, and when it's sunny here, its really, really sunny. Not complaining, but it makes reading your messages all that difficult while out.

If your phone is rooted, then download and install rom toolbox and open the build.prop editor. Change the minimum brightness level to whatever you desire. By default it's set to 20percent.

Not going with the Rom toolbox... It kind of messed up a script I was running last time I used it. Had to reflash stock and what not. Any other options, something which is only concerned with the screen?

You could just manually edit the build.prop with a text editor and change the ro.lcd_min_brightness=20 line to something lower. More info on build.prop editing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056364.
I'm a fan of Screen Filter, the standard minimum brightness is still quite bright in a dark room
I am a bit disappointed in the HTC 10. My 3.5 year old Nexus 4's display is much brighter. At about 15%, the Nexus 4 is brighter than the HTC 10 at 50%. At 100%, the HTC 10 is only as bright as the Nexus 4 is at 50%. I get that it's not an OLED, but damn it, a 2016 LCD in a top-price-bracket phone is worse than a 2012 phone's mid-tier LCD?
Another issue now, I set the navigation buttons on the bottom to be always on and they change their brightness all the time. Sometimes they are visible (minimally), other times the glow so faintly as to be only barely perceptible even in a dark room. I hate to think how bad they are in sunlight.

the nav buttons are based on the screen brightness, so if the screen brightness is at 50% so will be the nav buttons.
i think its pretty bright, rebooting the phone and get that white aboot screen i have to look away. coming out of the camera app, since it goes to 100% brightness in there is pretty bright also (I'm use auto brightness, so only time its at max). i have no problems outside on a sunny day.

Coming from the Nexus 4, I don't trust or use auto-brightness. That said, I almost always have my Nexus 4 on about 15% and that's plenty bright in all but direct sunlight (when really nothing is bright enough, so who cares), at at 50% brightness the Nexus 4 is still much brighter than the HTC 10 at 100%. It really is incredibly disappointing.

Hello everyone,
I just bought my oneplus 3 but when I am scrolling with blacks in the screen I see something like blurring or blending the black color with the next one for a second.. I didn't have amoled screen again so I don't know of this is normal.
http://imgur.com/xTfrRrh
Here when I am scrolling with low brightness (5%-10%) especially in the last colors the blur is too strong.
Sooo... Is it defective? Should I return it?
Thank you in advance
Edit: https://youtu.be/8KVOvsE_l2Y
I believe that's normal I've noticed it on my screen too but because this is my first time with an amoled screen I thought it's probably normal... I wouldn't worry about it.
Return it. Not normal IMO as I don't have it.

Even with low. Just tried multiple combinations of screen and ambient brightness and I cannot replicate that glow/blur.

So it's something like 50-50.. Either you are lucky and you don't have it either you are unlucky..
No this is 100% normal and EVERY AMOLED screen has this. For the people saying they can't see it, they are blind. Sorry for being so blunt but it's something that all AMOLED have as the slight purple blur is the turning on of the pixels when they are displaying black. My S3 (had 3 of them), S4, S5, S6, OP3 and any other AMOLED screen had this. My friends OPX Had this, my friends Note 5 had this. Don't worry your phone is fine
I see it as well.
me too ..
and i think its normal
My first OP3 has burn in problems and it also had this common amoled issue, my second OP3 has this "issue", It's normal, I had the same issue on my S4 mini.
THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE, it's perfectly normal all AMOLED have it. Please close this thread as it's useless
I've used various display technologies, all have pros and cons. I suspect that to display something very dark the pixel only lights up briefly. Since it's not much energy used, the various parts of the pixel (RGB subpixels using a certain matrix) light up - but not with the same speed. I'd even more suspect that it's the same with light pixels, but far less noticeable with the human eye.
I would not bother....
So I'm not sure if this is a beta issue or my Device or maybe it's how the pixel is idk (went straight to the beta after getting it) but at minimum brightness is literally can't see anything on my screen at all and before I can see things properly the slider needs to be at least near half way before anything is readible. Is this normal or a beta/device issue?
Don't have much problems keeping max brightness on if I need too but kinda sucks I can't see **** even in a dark room at minimum.
Pitch black room with brightness set to lowest, I can see things just fine with the exception of the black crushing. What were you trying to view exactly? Pics, text, video?

Mainly text it's hard to read when brightness us all the way down in a dark room is really hard.
Also in the daylight even a little bit down and it's near impossible to see outside seriously my razer phone screen is more visible
Is it white text on a black background or black text on a white? I know with white text on a black background it can be difficult especially if scrolling because the black smears into the white.
The Razer phone is a really dim screen and max brightness on the Pixel 2 XL isn't super high but definitely brighter. You have Adaptive brightness on or off? As with most phones, screen actually gets brighter while auto/Adaptive is on and set to 100% than off and set to 100%.
