Hi there, I've been waiting for the S22 unveil to see if it has a notch or not, and unfortunately for me, it does. So I'm now looking into the Fold 3, but I haven't got one in my hands yet, all I know is from pictures on the internet. A couple of questions I have, how noticeable is the camera hidden behind the screen? And, how noticeable is the crevice in the middle of the fold screen after a few months of use?
It's a lower res part of the screen (when opened) over the camera but to me it's not noticable
do you really disregard specs and choose your phones based on the notch? if so, there are phones without any notch at all like Asus phones.
Back to your question, you barely notice the notch when you're using the inner display. Actually you don't notice it most of the time because of the immersive experience

100% they did a good job at hiding the camera on the inside screen. You have to look for it in order to notice it. All your screen activity plays over the camera hole. So while I'm writing this it is currently the exact same grey as the rest of my notification bar. If I'm watching a YouTube video. Don't ever see it.
It looks like dot pattern circle, but it's not a big deal, to be honest.

Unless you know where and what to look for, you won't notice the camera notch and it it much better then punch hole. As for the crease in the middle, as long as the screen is in front of you, you won't even see it. For me it is much more bother to the finger then to the eye. Any way if you're into foldable, you wouldn't care about these.
I've had the Z Fold 3 for a couple of weeks now. While the underscreen camera is noticeable, it is much better than having a holepunch in your display. The crease is noticeable from certain angles, but once you are using the Z Fold 3. You will start to notice it less. These are all my perspectives of the Z Fold 3 for now

Ok here's a warning to all of you, the edges of the screen are very sensitive to pressure I noticed the other day light pressure on the edge of the bezel would make my screen discolored, I just took my phone out of my pocket now and I have a yellow vertical band down the right hand side of my screen, I'm guessing my phone squeezed in my pocket when I got in the car for work this morning, just a warning to everyone be ultra gentle with your screens. :-( not happy.
having tested and unboxed over 15 HOXes
i can confirm to you some of them ripple under light pressure, some under some effort and few impossible to ripple
the ripple is a sign of imperfect screen lamination, if your's was very sensitive to begin with than it was defected out of box and hence the damage you have now
out of the 15 i tried, only one of them that my cousin own is completely ripple free no matter how hard you push
the one im talking about feels completely different to the rest, its extremely rigid on both left and right sides with such a tight gap that no dust can get it, like i said it has been an impossible task for me to find another one like it, this one is also perfectly clean and even on whites when viewed at every angle, ie: its lamination is flawless, early HT23 white
something is seriously messed with HTC screen fitting and its only time before more and more cases like this will appear
This phone gets better by the day...
Might dump it on ebay and .....
This is rediculous.... somone with money and power DO SOMETHING!!!!
Mod edit: Edited for language
The glass is pretty fragile anyway TBH. Mine has been in a pocket on it's own and still managed to become scratched after a week, whereas my last iPhone 4 went about two years without getting a mark on either side!

You should get a Samsung device, I here each of their displays are identically perfect. Seriously, I've never seen a mobile device forum where there weren't a percentage of complaints about the display. You can't build millions and have every unit perfect. Google "iPad/iPhone display issues" and you'll see no one's immune.

Thats the good thing about being able to manufacture your own screens and not have to rely on 3rd parties I suppose. Imagine being able to buy a HTC phone with a Samsung screen in it! Minus all the Hardware issues too!
Oh wait, were you being sarcastic!?!? lol
I just picked up a 2013 Nexus 7 this weekend as an upgrade for my 2012 model. Seems like a solid upgrade so far but I'm bothered by one item and it's the yellowish gradient toward the bottom one or two inches of the screen. I need to tilt the device maybe 15 degrees away from me to get a more consistent color. If I rotate the device 90 degrees counter-clockwise (camera now on the left), I can still see the yellowish darkening on light screens on the right. My 2012 model has consistent color throughout. I found a number of posts regarding people complaining of about a warmer color to the 2013 screen but haven't seen anything describing the gradient I see. It's rather annoying when reading webpages or ebooks with a light background.
Anyone else see this on their Nexus? Did it improve with time?
I tried to take a couple of photos but my camera doesn't seem to be doing a good job of picking up the colors.
Common issue
I returned mine (because of it) and got a new one which had exactly the same thing.
I also checked out a friend's N7 and had the same thing.
So I guess it is a normal thing. It is hardly noticeable and only on white background.
(Most panels have some kind of uniformity issues. I checked an iPad 3 and had some other issues...)

Thanks for the feedback. This is actually driving me nuts and I'm going to take it back to see if I can get one with at least less of the effect. Mine seems to be worse than the display model in the store I saw today. If they can't give me something that's equivalent in color consistency to my 2012 Nexus 7 then I'll return it and just stick with that.
If I were you I wouldn't bother.
In the store there are other ambient factors that may trick you in believing the store's sample is batter. But it will not.
3 samples I checked are exactly the same...
My device have yellow tint to. How to fix? "Screen adjuster" and other not helped for me.

I don't believe that this is correctable with software. I ended up getting a different tablet altogether and even this 10" one has the same issue. Guessing these panels are all coming from the same manufacturer....
Hi to all
I'm pretty new to the tablet market and I just bought the note 10.1 2014. I'm in my first 14 days where I can exchange/return my tablet and I want to make sure everything is ok with my stuff.
I've read countless online reviews before making my choice and, as you all know, one of the strongest aspect of the note 10.1 2014 is the display. Most if not everybody is praising the resolution, the colors, minimal color shifting, brightness and the viewing angles. Now, I want to make sure my understanding of lcd displays/viewing angles is good.
My tablet's display is gorgeous... when I look at it straight at it. I have the minimal light bleed on the edge which only shows on black and has 0 impact on colors which I'm ok with (all demos in stores are the same so...) As soon as I tilt the tablet though (vertically or horizontally), colors become very dull. Actually, colors do not shift but everything becomes dimmer/duller. Now, I suspect this is normal behavior from a backlit LCD but still, I keep reading reviews stating the display is gorgeous and bright even from an angle which is not 100% right for mine. I've tried to look at videos/pictures online but most people doing reviews actually setup a camera right in front of the tablet and barely move it once it's turned on so it's not helping me. So when you guys are saying the tablet's display stays vivid and colorful from every angle, are you getting the same kind of behavior my tablet has and are not talking about this because this is normal behavior for an LCD display or is my tablet's display defective?
Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation. If needed, I could take pictures.

As is typical of the Samsung displays, the viewing angle stability is great. The colors remain stable regardless of the viewing angle and we did not note any great loss in brightness.

Thank you very much for your reply. Well, I guess my tablet's screen is pretty similar to the test unit provided in the review. My definition of stable brightness and colors is pretty different from the behavior of that display But to know my screen behaves normally compared to other tablets is good to know.
Just enjoy this tablet..Don't spend hours looking for problems that arent there. This tablet is wonderful , I have had mine since December with no issues at all. I'm rooted with tons of stuff on mine. Most of the problems I have been reading about are people with way too much time on their hands. Have a beer , and love your tablet!!

Don't get me wrong here, maybe I did put too much emphasis on the display and I'm sorry about this. I love my tablet too. I'm just discovering the power of the tablet and the S-Pen, the integration is pretty amazing.
Cheers
I received mine early, next day delivery.
The phone works great, except for the camera. It has issues auto-focusing. If I double tap the home the camera remains unfocused for a lengthy period of time. Sometimes it will remain unfocused. Doesn't matter whether it's attempting to focus near or far, set to auto or selective focus mode, or opening from lock screen or camera app.
Did you remove the plastic?

Wow, I feel like an idiot.
I didn't realize there was a small bit of plastic attached to it.
It would explain why the focus worked when I "cleaned" the lens.
Also realized there are 2 pieces of plastic, on both the flash and the lens.
The plastic on the camrea doesnt cover the lense, so what the point of removing?
I made a post on this in the main S6/Edge section. I'll make it in here too. Be careful not scratching the lens or flash. The flash one is very hard to get off. Stupid Samsung doesn't put tabs on them so it would be easier to pull off.
You don't have to pull them off but I like to since maybe it's causing a glare.

I have a faint white line next to the tower. Not sure if it's because of the protectors.

So I removed both covers, and it's helped some, but the auto-focus is still a little slow.
Here's the screwed up part, if I pick up the phone while facing screen side up and then double tap the home, the auto-focus is sluggish (takes 2-5 seconds to focus)
If I leave the phone screen side down and then flip it up, double tap home for the quick cam, the auto-focus is quicker (camera is already focused by the time the screen activates).
If I flip the camera screen side down while it's having trouble focusing, the focus may catch and actually work.
I don't think this is normal.
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
