Does anyone else has a faint blackish spot around the edges of the phone? Mine has near the righr side. It's visible to the naked eye but hard to capture on my other phone.

blackish shade. 2 half circles. At least they are symetrical I am gonna use a wallpaper thats dark at the bottom.
Hey guys, I have the same problem as well. Is it a problem in the display or is it common on IPS LCD display?
Help me out, got the device just yesterday.
It does not concern me anyway lol
Can someone post pictures of it perhaps so others can know before buying this phone?
This is referred to as "shadowing". It's one of the negatives of LCD, along with light bleed. I've heard a few reviews mention shadowing.
This is what it looks like with a bright white wallpaper. It is hard to take a good photo. This is at the bottom on my phone and the shadows are only visible with white/bright colored background.

Hello everyone, today I've noticed that on landscape mode my GN has a lighter and brighter vertical line of pixels on the left side, if I turn the phone on the left; if I turn the phone on the right it doesn't happen and everything is fine on both sides. It is really annoying me and I can't say if it is the first time it happens or this kind of issue has been always there. It can be noticed only with white or light backgrounds and in EVERY photo, if brightness is switched to max it is hard to see but with automatic or half brightness is pretty clear.
I tried to screenshot it but I'm afraid this is something hardware since it doesn't show on screenshot.
Anyone else with the same problem?

Is it green? I have a similar issue. I think it's a case of screen burn.

I think I have the same issue. Don't know if I should go and get a replacement. It also only shows on white background while browsing.
EDIT: The captured screenshot doesn't show this, so no point in uploading it.

Took it to assistance. It'll be back in 10 working days and since I don't have something not even similar to replace it I'm stuck with an old Sony Ericsson W205...what a nightmare!

At least you can replace it. I am from Israel and I bought the Gnex in the US directly from Google. I noticed this problem a day before I went on the flight so I didnt have much time to replace it. But it doesnt much bother me. I know that those Super AMOLED screen have too much problems... Just live with it right now.
i have the same issue right now.
For replacing the GNex i had to go in a samsung point or they come to my home for took it?

I have the exact same issue on my Galaxy Nexus. The same row of pixels (along the top-edge). It's not visible in portrait mode because the notification bar is black and the pixels are switched off.
Here's the kicker: since this afternoon, the row of pixels are switched on even when the background is black. They appear as a faint line and become brighter when there's a background image. I put the phone under a magnifying glass and there appear to be three such rows, not one. It could be the pentile matrix playing with my eyes since the pixels are too small to see even with a (low power) magnifying glass, but there's definitely more than one row.
Anyone else?

Can you post or link a picture? I mean under a magnifying glass, just to see how it looks like...ehm not sure if it is possible though
I am having the same problem on mine too. There are these streaks that runs across in landscape or portrait. it's more noticable in a grayish white background. It's very easy to see with a screen test app that shows one color on the whole screen. Lately, I also notice the very top and bottom line of pixels like would lit up brighter. For example, when i touch the context buttons at the bottom, bottom pixels of the buttom would lit up bright white.
Edit: clariification, it's the same lines of streaks if held in portrait, it would go across. when in landscape, the same streaks goes to to bottom.
I also have a lighter vertical line of pixels on the side of the screen when in landscape. The interesting thing, though, is that it is on the left, regardless of whether my phone is in landscape with the power button on the top or the button. either way it's on the left of the picture. So I don't think it's a hardware issue. More likely a calibration issue?
I also have horizontal banding of slightly different shades in portrait on grey/white backgrounds (eg: facebook app). These become harder to see the more brightness I turn up.
Yep, have it too...
Now I'm deciding whether to go to the Service Center....
Other than that small line, the phone is perfect so i guess i won't bother..

I got the entire screen replaced by Samsung Italy. 100% hardware issue
i have the same issue... but i think it is not "burn in", it is just a pixel line brighter than the rest, in my case it shows all the colors as it should, just brighter.
Strange...
A couple of weeks ago I noticed the topmost line of pixels of my Gnex is miscoloured or brighter than normal, and yet sometimes displays correctly, usually when black.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I noticed it's on the bottom too. Maybe some backlight problem or something... But sometimes it changes colour due to shades changing, it's like in half shades it's shining more and in other half it's darker. Like some software compensating. There's other colours, but blue looks differently.
hiii,
i bought my note 2 on 29-1-2013
now what i noticed in my screen,
there middle 10% part is shaded with 1% opacity,
if we look closely then it's not noticable as u seen from far,
from naked eyes is too difficult to see,
its not like Colours are gone, only looks like shade,
if i increase brightness to 100% then the small shade like finish.
i m confused that it is defected or not,
is that Normal, does nay body heard that type of case,
Please make me happy,tell me that it is Normal,I dont wana give my phone to bad service guys.

are all amoled not plain background?
yellow tint
I have that yellow tint that the link is describing due to the glue during the manufacturing process. I'm able to see it when looking directly to the screen. When the screen is slightly angled away, that yellow tint is gone. I hope it will be resolved on future updates.

it could be a screen burn in ...because of keeping the display on for a long period...like during navigation for long time

Can't say what's your problem without any pictures but yes, AMOLED displays differ from device to device, and it's still immature, unlike LCD displays.
And yes, mine has Yellowish tint too.

This can only be resolved with a color temperature change, up to now im still wondering why the color temperature on the Galaxy Note 2 devices vary so much from phone to phone and no its not the glue. From where I live this is valid with in the 7 days of replacement provided that the next unit they open up is not yellow. But if im in a pitch black room or no 'warm' light sources there are no traces of this warm color temp.
Mine has no yellow tint, mine looks like middle area of screen is grey shaded, I checked, protector is ok, but screen middle area is very slightly shaded. Very difficult to see, when we scroll fb or youtube(down to up) then its noticable... most in plane white background...
I hope someone understand my fail English. .

Thats obviously a defect, have it replaced.
so, thats a picture,
shows that middle area of screen is grey shaded,
is that Normal?
have it replaced.
Like I already said in another thread to your query, this is normal. If you can't distinguish this from the naked eye (during normal use), this is definitely normal. I'm sure you are keeping the display in low brightness; this brightness uniformity issue exists on virtually all AMOLED displays, and the Mura Effect does have some attribute to this as well. Rumors say that the Samsung's Flagship Devices this year (2013) might feature an SLCD3 instead of AMOLED. Might indicate that AMOLED displays still need further refinement. If the shade is not so prominent, you should not worry about it then. Every Note 2 has this, those that say they don't see the shade are not looking close enough. I call this AMOLED phenomena a Samsung-kind-of-thing for a reason.

Does anybody experience the same issue?
Everything works correctly, however when I go out and use phone on direct sunlight, the colors are washed-out.
I haven't experienced this issue in the indoor or when the sunlight wasn't too bright.
Is it the IPS display feature, or some kind of an issue with my current piece?
Thanks
I also have this with my H815
Same, with h815 but there was a topic about it.. Seems to be a feature to see better at a direct sunlight :

Yes, I have bright bar, everything is quite greyed out.

The first time when I got the phone, I almost freak out.. On closer look at the top edge of the screen, it looks like some kind of animation on the notification bar. I hope you get what I mean.
So relax, its not light bleeding.
It's by design, and I think it's awesome.
The colors get really washed out, I don't care if that's meant to be some sort of stylish feature, it's just awful! I used xperia z3 before this and they both boast of ips, I never experienced this on the Sony.
As the title states.
I have pink tint on the left hand side of the screen, vertically down.
I tried a bit of UV light blast and keeping the screen at full brightness - but not sure if it improves or not.
It is a TIANMA panel. Anyone else had a partial pink tint on screen, and did it go away with time?
Thanks guys

Sorry to hear of this problem.
Perhaps you find better results in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/poll-panel-htc-10-main-s820-variant-t3370972
Kernel devs added in KCAL Color Control so that would help if you are rooted, you will read about it in the above thread.
Thanks
I know of the above thread. I am just curious to hear about this from other tianma owners.
If there are any out there who only had pink tint on part of the screen did it go away?

Mine is pink on an angle, seems it's normal. The bottom part of my screen in pinker than the top and it hasn't gone away.
.. is the sound u get when tapping the screen also changing depending on where you tap the screen; meaning it sounds more low-pitched in the middle of the screen and more higher at the top and bottom?

Jup. As this point I'd call it common knowledge, we have talked about this on XDA for about 9512 times already^^
We even have dedicated threads, the search engine is your friend here.
It has to do with how the screen has been bonded to the edge of the frame and what lies underneath the screen. It's also present on quite the number of other phones, like the new IPhone 13s.
And the beat goes on
thanks guys!
so lets get on to another screen issue (since i cannot find a display thread here): do u also have a reddish tint as soon as u slightly tilt the phone?

Nope, not at all. I just checked most colors and tilted my phone in every direction, and for some odd reason I can't seem to find any sort of color tint. Even my white stays white in a ridiculous tilt, which never happened before with a pixel phone. All my previous pixel phones went a bit bluish when tilted. .Maybe my eyes have gone kaboom sh*t crazy, or I won the lottery ticket of this years display.
Some people here claimed / talked about a yellowish tint of their display, even though that was more of a general sort and also present when the phone was not tilted. I'm not able to reproduce that, so there is not much more to say.
Do you have a screen protector by chance? That one might be responsible for tint if tilted.
