I loaded a couple of movies on my phone and they do not display properly. They are both the wider 2.35 aspect ratio so should display with thin black bars. Instead they get stretched taller to fill the screen.
Are there some settings hidden somewhere?

There is a button in the lower right corner of the player for stretch options. One is original and I'm sure that's the one you want. Just tap it a couple of times.
Doh! For some reason I thought it was the stop button, guess I should have pressed it!
Thanks.

Somewhat hard to describe, but fairly basic.
When I swipe over to another home page, the screen will tint darker for a second, and then tint lighter again immediately.
Has anyone else noticed this?
FWIW I'm rooted and running Eugene's vanilla 2.1 Vibrant9.
Yea I know what you're talking about... never paid too much attention to it though. All of my Android phones have done that (G1, MyTouch, Cliq, and now Vibrant) in wondering if it is an illussion.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Its definitely not an illusion.
I owned a Incredible, EVO and now this and I've never even noticed it until tonight.
I didn't even notice the first few days I had the phone.
So is this a general thing across Android that I never noticed, because its seriously bothering me now.
Using ADW launcher now? Coz I've noticed the widget goes a little blurry for a split second when I swipe the screen. I think it has something to do with the tweaks of the launcher.
It may be the "power save mode" readjusting the brightness levels for the change in screen content.

Yeah I turned off the power save feature and it still does it.

When I go to contacts, I noticed if I leave the page idle for just 2 seconds it has a green tine to it but once I swipe down it goes back to normal.
I never noticed it until I started using ADW on my Vibrant.

Are you guys talking about swiping the notification bar? This DOES adjust the brightness so long you have auto brightness turned off!
Nah not the notification bar, simply going either left or right on the home screen to another home screen.

Unless there's an issue with your touchscreen calibration, that shouldn't be happening.
Swiping across the notification bar adjusts the screen's brightness. I think you're accidentally swiping it by mistake and not realizing it.
I noticed this in the web browser when I first purchased the phone. It's very noticeable on a site like XDA with a light background. The screen's tint changes while holding down the screen and dragging it around. No idea why.
It's not a bug. It's built into TouchWIZ. Heres an example. Go into your contacts and just look at the tint. Now scroll down, the tint changes. The tint changes as you scroll because the little letters on the right side are activated.
I never noticed it doing that in the browser but I probably could liken it to the scroll bar on your CPU browser. Perhaps as you scroll, it changes because of that.
Like I said. In contacts, it's a feature. If you have it done in the browser- I don't. Maybe your phone has a bug.
It does it on every screen on the phone, not just contacts, not just browser.
Hopefully my g2 wont be doing this.

No problem here. Running stock from the factory.
I Recently noticed screen burn-in of the Google Play icon (Homescreen Shortcut) on the screen ...
The burn-in is more noticeable in white/gray backgrounds...
How do I remove it if its posible? Tried few apps from market but app logo imprint is still visible

Mother of GOD ! there are other icon imprints as well if I look closely !!
Hope it doesn't get darker than this ...
You won't find away around it unfortunately.
These screens are both fantastic and both sh*t at the same time. It's good technology but it isn't perfected. My original SGS went terrible. After nearly 2 years on it I could see perfectly the alarm icon and almost every icon I had on my home screen on light and dark backgrounds - It's a nice screen but it will only get worse within time.
As others have said only real solution is to keep altering your backgrounds and home screens but tbh I wouldn't bother, you'll still get burn from the time and other icons in the status bar.
Until Samsung sort them out and improve how they work it's just the way it's going to be
Whoa!! That is scary!
I have heard that there is no solution for a burn-in..? Thanks for the advice though. I'll keep changing the layout constantly.
So my soft buttons have left some burn in on my screen. My idea was to take a pic of that area, invert it, make the top a solid color, and let it set for a while to even out the burn.
However, I cannot seem to find a way to just display a picture pixel for pixel full screen. Any ideas?
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
This is a terrible idea lol. You want to destroy a perfectly good screen so it'll match during the 1% of the time you're watching a video in full screen.
Why would this destroy the screen? It would be no pixel decay more than using it for a few hours.

I transferred my wallpapers from my SGS2. Resolution of those is 960x800. On my SGS4, there's a little strip of black at the bottom. Is the resolution of this screen 960x854 rather than 960x800?
This phones resolution is whatever 1080p is, drawing a blank. 1920 x 1080?

I'll try that. And if it's too big I guess it'll shrink it down.
I'm currently on my second N3 (the first one had vertical lines in photos) and looks like this one has a bad display. When using Tapatalk with the dark theme, the bottom left corner/edge of the display is brighter than the rest. When testing with Screen Adjuster, the difference is very noticeable. The issue can be seen even with just Thumb Keyboard with WP7 theme.
Has anyone else noticed this kind of problem?
Return it and buy from another store. Seems like these guys are selling you lemons.

The two phones are from different stores, I'm still waiting for a replacement for the first one.

Check it with the stock messaging app, it should have a uniform brightness. Mine is glowing on the left edge and especially on the bottom left corner.

Should this happen again, The vertical lines are solved by clearing cache/data in the camera app

The problem can not be seen in a screenshot. And the camera lines disappeared after a hard reset but came back soon after.

You may notice that the black screen when you open the settings. Not symmetric Colors.
There is a difference in the backlight. Increase in the left of the screen.
AMOLED has no backlight! the issue is due to the production process (basically: the more of the center of the wafer your particular screen has been cut out, the more uniform it will be)!

Change from Adapt Display to Dynamic. Best thing to do to resolve the problem.

If you want to get rid of display brightness issues, just switch to Dynamic, as the 'blacks' in Settings would be even blacker, to the point where it doesn't really light up as it uses the OLED technique of showing true black.
