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

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.

Don't worry, its normal. I had this on my Note 3, S5, S6 Edge and my OnePlus 3, all with AMOLEDs. Its normal

Same here, I don't see this on my device.
Also didn't see this on any AMOLED screen that I've used so far ...

got that too, and reading online it looks like what was reported about galaxy s4: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Is-y...inversion-treatment-You-are-not-alone_id42563
it's visible in the dark with low brightness

Even with very low brightness the blur is not present?

Even with low. Just tried multiple combinations of screen and ambient brightness and I cannot replicate that glow/blur.
I guess it's not present on all AMOLED panels, similar to backlight bleed on LCDs.

Turn off any third party screen filter or auto brightness apps like Lux if you have any enabled. I experienced the issue you described when I was using lux app

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....

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.

Auto brightness is very painful on op3, we need some small app or mod to fix this one up

It's not getting that dark... even in night mode. It's way too bright for me!

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!
This yet another auto brightness is working great https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=biz.gyrus.yaab

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.

This is how my display looks at 100% brightness and night mode off. Is this normal or should i go for replacement ?
I cannot post links so I am using plaintext.
google photos/qCovm3GBgavfnxyU8. Replace google photos by goo.gl/photos
what version of Oxygen are you on?
Replace. You have AMOLED burn-in i think :/ Don't use full brightness unless you can't see it without.

I can see the tint in all brightness. in the oneplus forum there was a case where the problem was that it could only be seen in night mode at 15 - 20% brightness in a dark room. I can see this in all brightness, without night mode, and in a well lit room. Quite confused.
Can anyone with an OP3 confirm that this is abnormal ? I shall apply for replacement then.
that's not a burn in. its the so called uneven hues. some amoled oanels have this and is quite common. but rare on newer amoled screens. go for a replacement ASAP

I've had 2 Oneplus 3's now, and am now in the process of sending the second unit back for a replacement.
This because the screen wasn't functioning properly, there was lightbleed on both and the screen had a green tint on one side and a red tint on the other side.
Has anyone else experienced issues like this? Is it a known problem, big or small? Or am I just in really bad luck by recieving a bad screen 2 times in a row.
No issue here. Wish the screen was brighter but at least its the same as my g4

The problems you're describing are physically impossible on a Super AMOLED display... and to say that it has happened to both OP3s you received is just as absurd. The pre-applied screen protector is pretty crappy, but I mean c'mon... Are you one of those guys who returns things with the smallest imperfections, or perceived imperfections in this case?

Do you have any picture of the defect. So far, your issue is uncommon one for OnePlus 3.

Woah there, I have no idea how it is possible to have the problems I have, I know that with lcd sometimes the glue causes the device to be lit unevenly, don't know if that could be the case, but it seemed a little off. I tested this using this video on full brightness: https://youtu.be/vu0mQa2EpS4
While going from. Grey to black, the pixels should all turn of at the same time, or at least, that's how I think it should be on amoled. But this wasn't the case on both devices.
As for the different tint problem, that does bother me a lot more, reading Web with a changing color if you read from left to right isn't that good for the eyes or at least It bothered me.

Here are some pictures, it's quite difficult to recreate on camera like I see them but this gives a general idea of what my issues were with the first device. The first being the screen tint, on the left of the screen it seems to be more red and on the right more green, while this is a Grey background at about 50% brightness. The second is how the screen is unevenly lit while on a solid Grey low brightness background.

I just watched that LCD test video and firstly my eyes hurt from the bright white light secondly I am quite picky and having come from the g4 which I thought had a great screen (few bleed issues though) I am quite happy. I couldn't see anything at all on my unit like you have so maybe it's device specific?
I have noticed this weird thing though and it's when I use MX player pro to watch films. I have been watching the dark night for like the 20th time on th op3 but do notice the skin tones look a little warm and when i increase brightness it gets worst. I think this is a combination of the pentile display and the AMOLED screen with a lower resolution than we would like. I am sure I remember my galaxy note 3 and wife's s5 looking like this also but could be wrong.
Overall it is strange using g4 then using op3 it's hard to explain but they are just different not just LCD / AMOLED but the calibration also. Love the blacks though it's like the phone is off when the screen goes dark. Nice.

So the screen turned black fully at the same time, well there's a logo on screen, but apart from that all black?
I know what you mean by that, I think thats in all screens, not sure, but I had it in both screens but also the problems occurred on them too, maybe that's a feature, I at least won't mind at night when the screen is that low and a bit more warm toned. I saw it on a selfie I got on whatsapp, at night when I got it, I saw her face normal, but when I set the screen brighter, I also saw that the photo also had a background! which was invisible and dark on the lowest brightness.
no issues
Didn't see a logo. Must be blind

Smallest imperfection? He uses the screen all the time and notices that all the time, how is that small imperfection? Also amoled screens are known for the issues he described. All screens have that issue. Just people like you are not good enough to notice it while others notice it easily.

I don't know if it's roms (I'm on OOS4.1.1)related but, is anyone experiancing ghosting problems with oneplus 3? Btw it only happens with black colors. They just blur when I scroll.

This is normal for all amoled panels that exist, that ghosting happens when the pixels need to turn on after they were completely off (when the screen displays black). This tends to happen most at low brightness when a pixel is going from the off state to a dark color like grey or dark blue. Happens with my Galaxy S3, S4, S5, S6 and S7 and my OP3. Other phones with amoled panels do the exact same thing and OLED TVs do it too. It's perfectly normal

Thanks for the information. Have we overcome this problem in s8. I mean after 5 generations of display panels, Samsung ought to have fixed it.

Hey guys,
I noticed in a few occasions this issue. Specially in low light. Can anyone try to download this picture, zoom in and scroll and report their experience ? I don't it's just my unit... Thank you
I get this as well, but only in very low brightness. I think it is just the amoled screen ghosting which is common with pure blacks
Yeah it's normal with AMOLED in low light with low brightness. Black smear. It's been happening since at least the Galaxy s7
