Have you noticed such thing on your G2 device: when looking at the screen from the RIGHT side, at an angle, there's a color shift, especially when looking at an uniform color background (red, blue). For example - when you look at the red pattern it becomes yellowish at the very high angle (almost flat), BUT this thing doesn't happen when you look at the screen from the opposite direction (left). I have a 16 GB version.
I have attached some pictures and would be glad if you could check it and confirm whether it's present on your device (display/dead pixel test software is helpful here to display one color on the whole screen - like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester). And also - which model you have - 16 or 32 GB?

This is also present on my device, but i really doesn't pay much attention to it. In real day-to-day use i don't see it. Many reviews stated that there is a color change on G2, so it is an issue for most of people on G2, just some people see it, some people don't.
If you wear polarized sunglasses it's actually impossible to see the screen when in landscape, this and lack of wireless charging are the only two things I can fault on this device and honestly the former is pretty minor imo.
Thanks for your answers, so unless anyone says he doesn't have this issue I think it's just specific to the LCD panel used in this phone.
I have a blue shift to the right and yellow shift or the left. Quirky panel.

My MDA screen got totally smashed, so I bought a new one and installed it.
While the touchscreen capability is functioning fine, the LCD itself seems to be having issues. I can't tell whether it's a hardware or software problem, but I'm hoping it's a software thing. When I start up the phone (where I see the IPL/SPL screen), the colors are normal. But after that first splash, the phone colors are sort of streaky. Can anybody help?
Normal startup screen (mostly white, but no streaks evident in the grey boxes as far as I can see).

Anybody???
A Question!
Looks it like a Shadow?
If you have a Black Screen ... you see a light Grey area? Or Colors like Red or other are on this Point not realy Red?
TFTs have a big problem. If some item press on the TFT. It becomes Shadows. This is possible by damage the Spacer in the TFT Screen ... this are little balls!
Dont put Keys in the same Pocket like your Smartphone :->
Damage like this are imposible to Repair without Display Exchange!
It sounds pretty much like you described, except there's no pressure--it looks like this all of the time.
And this WAS a replacement screen, ugh.
Not to mention, any slight pressure, say TOUCHING THE SCREEN IN ANY WAY BUT THE LIGHTEST, creates a different problem(screen fading to white).
Thanks.
I am having the same problem due to my phone getting a little humid, any idea if there is anything I can do to reverse the damage?
Just picked up a new white S5 on Friday. Few days later, I am noticing a burned in bar on the lower half of the screen. I am not sure what to make of this? Could this just be an issue with AMOLED panels? It's not very noticeable unless you look for it, but it is definitely there. Would love some opinions on this.

Burn-in (uneven wear to be more accurate) will still happen in any AMOLED device. the technology has improved so it should not appear until quite some time down the road, at least it's supposed to have improved.
Any app that might have kept an static image for a long time there?

Well before venturing ideas, I'd like to get a good idea of what you are seeing. I'm sure that it is glaringly obvious to you since you know it's there now.. but your photos are not close ups or high res.. and you didn't circle the area or describe it in detail. Can you point it out or describe it better?
It might be exactly as the poster above suggests or I can think of three or four other possible causes depending on what the artifact looks like.
Good Day Everyone
did anyone of you owned a S4 back at its launch? Then Maybe you can remember the struggle with it's Screen Bleeding/Smearing all over the place whilst scrolling up n down a list. The pitch black background was to blame for this. Not able to light up quick enough. Well I Themed my N9005 with All Backs Black which itself is a lovely theme. But many system backgrounds like the Dialer, Contacts, File browser and Settings etc. are a dark gray color which annoy the s*** out of me. After theming it with All Blacks Black the dark gray background is very noticeable to me. Here is a sample
I intentionally made it a bit more visible for non amoled screens

I've tried replace .png's like tw_background_holo_dark and tw_background_dark but sadly that didn't work like it seems have for many people on their S4's according to @bala_gamer over at his thread ( i know they try to get rid of that effect in that thread but at the bottom of the first comment he shows a method to reverse the "fix").
I mentioned my desire on the All Blacks Black thread and @Kdio suggested that maybe messing with the right .XML file would help, but I have no clue which one I have to edit.
I know getting the background to black would cause smearing/bleeding (whatever you wanna call it) but I'm fine with that.
I would be grateful if some one could help me out with this issue and knows what to do.
May the odds be ever in your favor! Peace Out :fingers-crossed:
I got a samsung 4 tab 8 as a part of a promo from comcast (well really I am paying for it in the form of a two year contract).
However, it has a decent amount of light bleed on the lower left side. About the size of a half a quarter. I noticed it when I was in my room with the lights off so it is dim, not dark and the display was only 50% brightness. I was watching a movie and it shows up on the black bar. Being pretty anal this really bugs me.
But is it worth trying to get a warranty repair for? If I had bought this from the store it would be going back, but warranty repair is a different animal.
What do you guys think?
Can you post a picture or a link to a picture of what it looks like? Thanks
What you're asking is pretty much a matter of your own opinion but I can tell you this is not an isolated thing as mine (that came from a major retailer ) and Im sure many others have this problem, so theres a chance youll just get the same thing again unless maybe you're really lucky and they manage to hand pick you one that dont, which may or may not be possible if all the displays from the manufacturer are like this. I can only tell on mine when the screen is all black, but yes its a bit irritating to get this with the Samsung name...

SO this is what I am dealing with. It is viewable from 30% and up in a poorly to dim lit environment. At 50% it is viewable with standard room lighting. It goes invisible if the lighting is good.
Hi,
I recently noticed a mark on the screen. It's only visible with light colours (especially white, with black the mark is not visible at all).

I did not find any similar case on the forum or the internet.
It looks like when AMOLED display are burned (like in JerryRigEverything videos).
But, it's LCD panel here...
From this video https://youtu.be/zuq2uPAEmeM?t=211 , the mark seems to be at the same level than this "copper bottom circle" :

Any idea ?
I've got a very similar 'stain' that is most noticable on a white background but never looked in to why it is so would be interested to find out what it is too! Not that it bothers me much and in fact apart from that it's an A grade phone as no scratches etc but as it had the stain it was reduced to C grade price so I only paid £90 for it which was a bargain!
I think the stain is glue and the spot on screen is caused by pressure. Hotspits can also cause such effects.
There were flat tvs, where the heat of the two SoCs on the mainboard (the second one was necessary for motion compensation, in single core days) would cause two squares appear on screen after the tv had warmed up.
I've just noticed a very similar stain in the same position in my LG G6. Lucky enough the two years warranty ends in two weeks haha, so it's already at the store and I hope they get it fixed soon.
