Replacement Screen Help - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've carried out a screen replacement using a part that was advertised as a genuine OEM replacement part, but I've got a few issues with it and I wanted to know what other people thought.
The new display has some shadowing around the edges, and suffers from screen burn after only a few minutes on a static image. It is also noticeably duller and less vivid, and seems to have a bluer tint than the original.
The colour I thought I might be able to make acceptable with a colour temperature app, but a new screen shouldn't have shadowing or screen burn, especially not an OEM one, right?
I suspect the part is a knockoff. It has the LG logo and a similar, but certainly different, crosshatch design on the bezel. I wouldn't mind this though if the screen quality were better.
Am I likely to have these problems with any replacement screen that is not an original? Has anyone bought a replacement screen that is of a similar quality to the original?

looking for a legit site as well, which site did you order yours from?

[Q] Replacement screen for Z1 Compact

Are there any experiences with cheaper "oem" replacement screens found on ebay? Actually around 40$...
Just replaced mine two days ago with a cheap $40 one.
All i can say, you get what you pay for. The lighting on the sides of the screen are a bit too noticiable, and the gamma seems to be a bit off.
I haven't had the chance to see if tweaking the white balance whould solve that.
However at a fraction of the price of new oem screen, i am satisfied enough.
Even on a really sunny day, in direct sunlight, the screen is clear enough.

Faint horizontal lines or mesh pattern on screen

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.

Display issues

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.

My P9 EVA-L19 Glass LCD Broken

My P9 EVA-L19 Glass LCD Broken

Good to know...
Cool story.
I have received the LCD replacement and I also installed it by my self.
So far so good
but I compare the new LCD with my friend P9 and I found there is slight difference in color.
but it is good for me.
Good congratulations
I bought an replacement lcd assy from germany.. after cursing with the replacement (mostly with the battery) i powered up the phone and noticed that swiping home screens worked only 1 time in 10..
Checked with the debug tools that touch location works perfectly.. but touch point size shows always zero, and the actual touch point size is displayed in the pressure
Can anything be done with the means of software, or is this gonna be a bad ebay review?
Sigh. What is wrong with these people. TEST BEFORE INSTALL. So you can send it back to warranty without issues and not leave a bad eBay review for a defective screen.
..
yes you have to TEST BEFORE INSTALL
I recommend this replacent so far
I had my screen broken last night, how's the A+++ screen replacements quality compared to factory one (JDI)?, in terms of responsiveness, quality, deep blacks, brightness. color calibration, etc, I'm very upset and worried about this and the fact that I may end up with something not on par in terms of quality...

I bought the LCD the OEM here, work and looks great. Don't know how to tell if it's OEM but everything seems as good as original. I also compared with other P9 and couldn't tell that mine was replaced.
I also bought a OEM battery to fix the suddenly shutting down problem at less than 50% charge, mainly when using camera. Seems fixed.

Hopefully one of you can help me
I currently have two huawei p9, wife's and sister in-laws, my wife is on her second screen already and needs to be replaced again.
The screens I found, cheap ones on eBay (lltrader I think) they don't look too bad at all.
First screen I replaced on my wife's was awful and the glue melted and the glass seperate and cracked within a week.
The second was from the seller I mentioned above, but she is a clumbsy woman.
So for this third one I am looking for for a glass screen protector, the problem is the replacement screens don't have the curved edges. So all the screen protectors for the position are too small or are designed to fit the curved edges...
Do any of you know a phone with very similar dimensions that I could try a screen protector from. I am sick of replacing screens now...

Question regarding LG G8's design - Is this normal?

So I've received two LG G8's now from ebay, the first one I returned because it was in very poor cosmetic condition. The new one I received which while for most part looks brand new, has one similar potential issue that I noticed on the first. Basically, if you look right at the seam where the glass is supposed to be tucking into the metal frame I swear you can see under the screen. It's very noticeable if you max out brightness, hold the phone in your hands horizontally with the screen facing up, and then start tilting it upwards. The only explanation I can think of is that the glass is clear there allowing you to see through the screen somewhat.
It's very possible that the screens were replaced on a lot on these "like new" models people are selling on Ebay. The problem being if the screen isn't properly adhered to the frame I fear the phone will probably no longer be waterproof. Does anyone here by chance have a G8 that was purchased brand new and has hopefully never had the screen replaced? If so, can you see what I'm seeing as well?
