Hey I just got my tablet Z off preorder and love it. I have noticed today that there is a bit of backlight bleed (especially on the bottom) which is really noticeable during the startup screen. Also any pressure put on the edges of the screen produces a crazy amount of light leakage. Is this normal? Are others finding this too? I would like to know before I go and exchange.

The back near the camera is fine for me.
I am more ok with the pressure marks given how thin the tablet is. That is understandable if everyone has it. I am more concerned about the two or three spots along the bottom with severe bleeding when there is no pressure put on the screen.
Do you have the same issue like in below film ? It happens when i lightly press front or back cover in top right or left down corner.

Won't be doing anything about it mate. Isn't noticeable unless you purposely press on it.
I didn't even notice it until i saw this video.
Its visible with high brightness and if you purposely preasure top right corner in the back. Somewhat happens if you preasure front too but with much higher force. Nothing to be worried about as its only visible upon application and is not visible when you hold it. Also its quite awkward /uncomfortable to hold it with just one hand and fingers just 2cm from the edge basicly like you would be trying to pinch it.
There is no bleed otherwise.
Mine has noticeable bleed along the bottom even with no pressure applied. Ill have to exchange mine.
"noticeable during the startup screen"
I have this yet almost every tablet I have had shows allot of bleed/light at startup then gone. As for pressing around the edges, left side top none. Right side no but looks same as if I press on my monitor at home. Bottom yes but its flash of tiny light and just where I press and goes right away.
My only "problem"? is battery. It charges great I just cant use it while charging. If using it it shows charging but drains still just slower drain. So I have to not use it if I want to charge it. This is a killer for me. I will be sending it back.
Battery and blacklight bleed are killers for me. No bleed here..

I exchanged the unit and now I have no bleed. Very happy. As far as the drain goes, I notice this someones on my Xperia Z phone. Im tending to think that as these devices become more powerful, the battery used to operate them is being used at a faster rate than they can be safely charged at. It sucks but not a deal breaker for me.

Also do you have trouble with the touch screen not fully working when the back of the tablet is on against something? Like with mine when I'm in bed and put the tablet against my pillow the touch screen won't work as much especially on the middle part. Wonder if I'm the only one has this problem.

Why does it only do it on the left side then if its down to how thin it is
Serious light bleed on the bottom of the screen
Bump on this one..!
Guys I have exchanged 4 different units , 1 black and 3 whites Xperia Tablet Z LTE, over the past week here in Greece and ALL of them have serious backlight bleeding issues on the edges and especially on the bottom of the screen !! Really annoying when wathing full HD videos which have black bars on the top and bottom of the screen
I cant believe there are only a few reports about this issue here. Could this be a bad batch here in Greece ?
Have you all checked with the light bleed app and 100% brightness in a dark room??
I notice a bit of shadows from The buttom of the screen when viewing White websites, but it's nothing major. For me, The light bleed is really only noticable on the boot animation, and not during normal use.. Still it's quite a concerning design flaw..
Sent from my Xperia Z using XDA Premium HD
Yes it is concernig
For some people its ok, it doesnt bother them. But not for me..
Too bad, because other than that, this is an excellent tablet!! Probably the best out there.
I thought the Z tab was one of the few tablets that seemed less prone to backlight bleeding complaints. I had a 16gb which I returned for a 32 version and both were absolutely perfect with the displays. I can't say the same about any transformer pad I have tried/owned.

I had a minuscule amount on the original Nexus 7 but none from this new one (LTE model). I've only seen a few issues about screen bleed with the new Nexus
Minor towards the top that's not visible under normal use. Non-issue.
I have, at least imo, bad screen on the top right of the screen. Also have it on bottom left. Really visible against black even at lower brightness. Seriously considering to send this for warranty repair if it covers it. I have 32gb flo.
Btw, there are plenty of threads already about this, even in this section...

IMO, I may bring it to ASUS service center again near the end of the warranty. I also have the same thought with you, I can live with screen burn-in but not the light bleed.

Yeah, I can live with this too, but if possible, I could do without it I'll send it in the beginning of 2014 as I won't be able to use it for a while anyway.
I'll attach bunch of pics in various lighting. Most are in dark room (natural light) or completely dark. There's a few in well lit room too. Most are on 100% brightness, some in 50% as well. Unlike you, my screen seems to be fine on blue.
Oh and the quality sucks as I took them with an ancient samsung pocket cam and my s2. S2 seems to have better quality imo
Here's a dropbox link to a zip of all the pictures: LINK
I also added a few as attachments.

I download them from your dropbox and the light bleed in the top right side seems a bit serious. Most cases I googled usually are obvious in black background including yours. However, my case is obvious in any cases except in the dark black background lol
Here is another picture showing the old and new Nexus 7 in Google Now screen. You can see the left edge is brighter especially in the purple area...:crying:
This is a picture of a Nexus 7 (2013) 32GB model K008. The bleeding on the top (left side of the image attached) was visible during regular use and really bothered me, so I returned the device the same evening to the store. After some convincing they swapped it with a new one. That one also has bleeding, but very minor. Not visible during normal use. I'm glad I returned the first one!

Here is mine. I don't know whether my shooting settings are good or not but maybe someone can help
I have screen bleed on top screen Maybe the problem is that the screw? How to.
Has anyone tried to unscrew the screw?
Hmm I don't think it is related to the screw problem, as the LCD panel and backIit should be assembled as a whole already.
It s a glue problem...
On my previous nexus, after running a few games, screen became yellow.
Bleeding =bad glue job or bad quality.
Do you have the well described light bleed on the bottom of your screen (7 brighter spots) at low brightness?
Whether you do or do not I am curious to know what your serial number date is.
I.e. are the 1st 3 digits 311 or 312.....
Someone suggested this was fixed on newer batches of these tablets and am curious if the newer serial numbers are showing the same issue.
311, got bleed. Don't care tho.

Yes but only with a white background at that edge and when the tablet is at less than 20% brightness. If it is a darker background or the tablet is above 20% brightness I have no bleed that I can see. In fact, I never noticed it in regular use until I looked for it in order to reply to your thread. So obviously it does not bother me. SN 311.

Thanks. My purpose is not to get people bothered. I am more thing to establish 2 things. First that unlike light bleed which is random this its a near universallyrics described flaw out limitation of this device and going and returning it for am exchange is likely fruitless. Keep it if you like it or move on. I have chosen to keep mine.
Secondly to seeif there is a pattern to those that claim not you'll have this issue. One person in another post started his first twist had it but the replacement with a newer serial number did not.

Part of the reason I never noticed it is that I have my on-screen buttons as black so any bleed would never be visible for me in portrait mode. Also, the only time I ever have my brightness that low is at night when reading my kindle app in bed and I use the white text on black background for that so bleed would also never show up in that situation.

The only bleed I have is when when brightness is jacked up and the background is dark. It goes a bit lighter in the corner but no worse than my nexus 7.

So what this means, is that the lack of the light bleed at the bottom of the screen that so many of us have is not necessarily related to do the month of manufacture. Somebody had suggested that models with serial 312 and higher were made sense that have not exhibited the same problem.
One thing I have noticed, is that I can lower the brightness on this tablet to a much lower level than any other smartphone or tablet. It is possible that is why we see those 7 lights at the bottom. It probably has to do with the fact that the overall screen brightness is so low that they become visible. Ordinarily on a different tablet it probably doesn't reach brightness level that low where more artifacts in the screen becomes viewable

This is a great thread and to tell you the truth if you havent began this one i would very soon began one similar. Here is my observations:
My first one was with 7 bright lights on the bottom vissible on white screen(do you tests with an apk thats free from Google playstore called "Backlight bleed apk", its free) from a 35% brightness and lower. It was annoying and second,much more important,for the money i gave to LG i want the product to be of high quality and tested by their technicians very thoughtfully before launching it. So i return it as a DOA. The second one had no 7 bright spots on the bottom but it had a yellow line on the top(under the Lg sign) that was very obvious with a white background (from 60% brightness and up). This one went also back as a DOA. The third one has again 7 bright spots on the bottom but its noticeable with 20% and below. All 3 devices are 311. Its quite a shame that this device with such good specs has such bad screen problems. I thing LG had a wonderfull idea with this tab but hurried to get it to the market.
Does someone with 312 have simmilar problems?

Ingesting and unrelated.
Here are my chronicles:
1st G pad: white 310 serial. Had both regular and 7 light bleed. Had not readabout this issue before returned it.
2nd G pad: Black don't recall serial. Good build quality no light bleed but 7 light issue. Now aware this is a common problem. Decide to exchange and go to best buy inspect 2 others (sales person let me setup 3 tablets and look best I could for issues. All 3 had the 7 light thing so figured this must just be a characteristic of the lcd they use in this tablet. So took home
3rd Gpad white w 11 build which in store I thought was better than the 2nd for the 7 light issue.
For Home was wrong and based on what I have read and my assessment I was resigned to the fact that they would all be this way and was going to keep. At this point I stated this thread after reading about some people who did not have this issue, one of them having a December or 312 build which I have been unable to find anywhere.
The build quality was bad in this replacement however. The edges of the tablet were sharp with a seam the others didn't have. Less than 1 day later the bottom right of the tablet must have been lose as depending on how I gripped it, it would creak and pop as if the plastic was coming off and snapping back.
At this point I decided I would return as a defect and got
G pad 4: white 310 build.
Was similar to second tab in buildwith almost no light bleed but had the 7 light issueand also felt the lower right part of screen at edge of bezel felt it had some give. I am now fed up and neuroticabout all this add I am in vacation in the USA and we don't yet have these in Canada.
Wanted to settle it. Found one other best but that head in store stock and it was rainy so I said last try to get at least one with only the 7 light issue.
Picked up a black one. 310 serial.
Took it home knowing that I'd it was no good I would say screw it and get ipad mini.
This one is nearly perfect.
Even at 0 the 7 lights are almost invisible. I have to look for them as I know they should be there. There is just a bit of traditional light bleed visible at 100% brightness in a dark room and in dark room I am rarely above 40%. Build quality is great and screen doesn't have any significant yellow cast.
I love it!!!!
From all my craziness I have discovered a few things that might explain the issues with this tablet.
1) 7light issue is there in every tablet. It is the way the lcd back lights work. The reason I and others likely have a tablet that doesn't exhibit it is due to something else. Brightness of the screen. By this I mean that all the tablets that have the 7 light issue can be dimmed incredibly low at the 0 setting.
Much lower than an ipad other tablet or my Samsung note 3.
My best screen seems noticeably brighter at lowest brightness. When reading an ebook at lowest brightness with white wiring on Black background the text is brighter in this one. So it could be that my 0 brightness calibration of the screen is closer to a 20 on one of the screens exhibiting the 7 light issue.
2) White tablet shows fewer finer prints if that is an issue but the metal black back is sweet!
3)With the voice Siri like app you can have option to enable or disable it listening for a hot word to activate it. With mine turned off my standby battery life is great even with 3 email accounts (1a push exchange account) going. We are taking 1% every 4-6 hours. This is much better than every tablet I have hadand my phone. This in spite of wifi on during sleep.
4) In spite of my issues of which in retrospect I would have been fine with my first 2 tablets and my current one I love this tablet.
It is a much better size than the lost nexus 7 2013 it replaced. Having expandable storage Ada much needed versatility. It does not win in any one category like an ipad or Nexus might but it hits all my desires from stereo speakersto God look to nice screen to great ergonomics.

311, have the light bleed. thought of exchanging it because it somewhat bothers me when I'm web surfing at night in landscape, but I figured out it doesn't worth the effort becuae probably most of the other slates have this problem too. I was right.
I think we should all be a little bit less perfectionists about our tablet, and give more thought to the good things at the tablet + focus on more important issues in our lives (At least I know I should )
I would like to buy G Pad but before ordering it in online store (Poland) I sent them a message asking for checking some G Pads randomly. The result is shocking: first 10 G Pads have light bleed at the bottom of the screen. After that they decided to check all tablets in stock. It turned out that all of them (> 50) have light bleed at the bottom of the screen. Product manager told me that they will contact with distributor of LG in Poland requesting clarification on that issue and they want to return all G Pads and replace them with good ones.
Will let you know how things will go on.

I have stud I think this is less a defect and more a characteristic of this screen technology. Based on the unit I now which does not have it I can say that mine does not get as dim at 0 percent brightness. Could be like with all LCD tech that below a certain brightness things like this are visible. It is a trade off in that you are getting a screen that can go dimmer but with those lights visible.

I'm on S/N 311 and I got no bleed at the bottom, but at higher brightness I got a pretty serious bleed at the top left corner, that's left of the LG Logo. I don't notice it normally but when I use the tablet in landscape that spot is covered by the black software key bar, making it stand somewhat out. I'm not gonna get it replaced, I played that game with my SGS-II back in 2011, you ARE going to find something else on the new unit cause you'll have gone in nitpicky mode.
Besides at this price, which is one third of what I paid for my Note 3 on launch day, you can allow a tiny few beauty marks.
Exchanged a black gpad because of a 0.5 inch yellow line at the top of the screen. Don't know the serial number unfortunately.
Got a 312 now as replacement. This has the light bleed at the bottom as well. But I have not seen any of the other issues like the blue line or the issue above. The bleed is noticable, but I might keep it anyway because most of the time i use it in portrait at high brightness....
Has anyone noticed any screen tint and/or discoloration? On a white background I've noticed that my screen has a slight pink tint on the bottom 20%. Dark backgrounds/images are unaffected.
Mine is uniform top to bottom... In dark lighting it does look a little holographic at times when I'm reading text on white background though.
I have a similar problem. Bought the US unlocked version and whites all over the screen have pink hue.

I preordered one from Verizon and received it yesterday. I'm going to drop by my local Verizon store and see if their display(s) have the same issue.
Mine has a redish tint as well. If you go to Display you can change the color profile. Can't tell if it actually helps though.

I tried playing around with the color temperature settings. Making the color temperature cooler makes it better, but still visible.
You mean like temperature ? Mine's a tad cooler than what I'm used to but I'm leaving it default. No reddish tint here.

I've got no tint unless I look at the screen at extreme angles (like >70 degrees). Even then, it's only a very slight pinkish color.
When I first turned on the phone, the screen was slightly warmer than I prefer. I fixed this by knocking the screen temperature slider 2 ticks over to the right.
Mine is fine. I can see it at extreme angles as well but just barely and really wouldn't notice it without stumbling on this thread

Mine has it at the bottom too, I think it is slowly going away but maybe not. I will give it a few days and if it is not completely gone I will get it replaced. This time yesterday my lower left side was really pink and bad, now it is hard to tell most of the time. Some LCD screens take a few days to cure properly. They say the sun or UV lights will speed up this process. Lets keep updating each other on our progress.
My htc 10 has a yellowish screen tint at the bottom when looking directly at the phone. However, it seems to go away if i tilt the phone away.

I definitely noticed a pink tint on my verizon model
I think maybe the "hologram" effect I'm seeing is almost an interpolating of white and pink. It is similar to the "shiny" effect you see if you slightly tilt to the left or right, but less pronounced. I mostly only see it when I'm scrolling thru text. Definitely seems slightly pink on white.
If I look at my screen at the perpendicular it is noticeable. On a pure white background the top 80% is white but the bottom 20% gradually fades into a subtle pink hue at the bottom.

Yeah... I'm going to get this unit replaced. It's just too pink

Let us know if the replacement unit is any different.

Will do, it will probably take a while for it to arrive since it just started shipping. Judging how most people have perfect units I don't foresee any issues

I've seen a few people complain on Reddit as well. And someone said it's due to the glue and it should be gone with time, but I don't know if it's true. Was considering buying the 10 myself, but it's still not available in my country so I'll wait for you guys to say how it goes.
And I'm also sorry to hear every one of you has the issue ;//
Spot on! Finally someone who has the same issue as me (and clearly a lot of other people have it too)
And yes, mine does have that, very visible. I have no idea why they didn't pick an IPS or amoled display, the price is already pretty ridiculous.
Also tried the temperature changing function, doesn't do any thing. No software will fix this either, its just a hardware thing.

Can you post that reddit link?

Quick question for those having this issue, if you pull up a plain white background like say one part of a display test do you see the discoloration on that?

Im not sure we have any korean users on here but curious if the red tint rumor is real.
Apparantly also easyly solved by adjusting the red color strenght to half the value.
No product is 100% free from defects. They all have a 1% target to hit for defective units but of course it's sometimes higher. You get these stories with every new phone that's released, including iPhone. The percentage of people that actually have a real issue will be small. If it's defective in some way or not to your liking, it's easy to send it back.

That was my thought exactly. Funny how the news wants you to hear what they want you to hear. Right or wrong

I had this issue on 2 different S7e (both early and later production models) last year and it was not easily solved by adjustments. It took a full-blown device replacement so I wouldn't put too much hope in that.
yep its true. Happens more often then you think.
Some screens just have a tint to them. Most devices will let you change them in the settings.
One of my old phone had this problem but the screen was yellow. it effected a small amount of those phone and i had to send it back to get a good working one.
But we will see what happens when the s8 is launch and how many are effected.
I checked it out at Best Buy today. With all 3 colors maxed out it had a red hue so I turned down the red and it got better but still not 100% to my liking. Coming from the iPhone 6 Plus its display seemed brighter to me (could be due to the hue) than the s8+. The iphone7 plus was sorta the same to had a dark hue to it and definitely wasn't bright as my iPhone 6
I am wondering how strong that red tint is? Can you clearly see it? I am a bit paranoid when I read such stuff and always feel like I have said problem xD

Did the S7E allow you to control the pixel color strength? I had one and didn't remember this.

Either way, I like my displays with a slight red/warm hue. You get used to it quick and it's much easier on your eyes at night.

It's real. I have pink-red tint on my s8+. It really noticeable at different angels. I've attached pics sitting next to my s7 edge.

Wow, on yours it definitely looks like the lower 2/3 of the screen has a red tint. If thats the case, and its not a uniform discoloration, i would say it would have to be impossible to adjust out because as you adjust to make the lower better, the upper is going to look worse.
I can see this on white background screens along the right edge. Not too noticable.

This phone better be perfect in my hands. I will be having the verizon guy show me a straight white background before I walk out of the store. That **** is NOT acceptable for an 800 dollar phone. And I would keep returning it until it is perfect.
Trust me its a lot more noticeable in person. The pic doesn't do justice. It's the whole screen for some reason the camera catches only 2/3. I will call TMO tomorrow see what the remedy is but I am not keeping the phone that's for sure. I use my phone a lot in bed and thats where the pink-red is very visible and when I have it laying on my desk. And no turning off the red color like Samsung suggest doesn't make any difference.
My midnight black S8+ is displaying perfect whites. No red tint here.

My midnight black S8+ has the red tint at the left and top edge only. it also seems to disappear if you look at it at an angle.
I've just been on the phone with EE to get a replacement phone sent out. It arrives tomorrow I hope the replacement doesn't have the same issue. I will post an update tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Yup, id return that. Dont feel too bad, mine arrives today and will likely have the same problem. This seems to be the new norm these days, if you want something your happy with, be prepared to fight for it!
Getting mine tomorrow... I'll test it out and let everyone know if I get a red tint and if I can adjust...
Yeah this isnt a new problem, just a QC problem with screen.
Got mine today and it looks okay but im not sure ill ever get used to the edges.
