Seriously tho no its does not look normal ive seen simular issue on lcd screen with abnormal pressure points. Also when screen refresh is out of sync and strobes lines if I would suggest returning to supplier.

i would say it's normal because that's just how the screen of S4 is. on my S4 also banding is visible especially on gray color. you might try to change phone for another one but think hard before doing it because you might get phone with screen that looks even worse.

Its not normal... I have this problem before with my previous galaxy and samsung replaced it for a new one..

I have that problem too, but didn't notice until about 3 months after purchase. Samsung doesn't replace with a new one, but a refurbished one, and who knows what problems a refurbished one will eventually happen. Anyone ever figure out if this was normal or not? Seems to be a lot of people with this issue if you do a simple Google search. It doesn't really bother me unless I'm on a gray screen.

I had the same problem on my Galaxy S5 too (horizontal lines)
goodbye Super AMOLED Display !!! :victory:
goodbye samsung !!! :victory:
I bought a LG G3 today http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3 :good:

[Q] Display problem

Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with the display on my G2. I spotted a grey spot on my display. It's not very big and can only be seen if your in a dark room and the display is black. Sounds really like a minor issue, but now that I know it's there, it just bugs me.
Any of you guys have an idea what this is, or having the same problem? (Just test it out)
I'm not sure if this is reason enough to get it replaced

You can't see it very well, because I just don't have a better way of taking a picture from it than my Nexus 7

I won't look on mine... because if it's something common I will have it for sure.. and I know myself it will bug me till the end ...
Anyway looks like glue residue or something in that matter, in case you do not have a screen protector.
If you can prove it to the store, get it replaced... This is a flagship device. Prestige one... Even minor appearance problems shouldn't be there.
Personally if I had it there and as you say, you can see it, get it replaced, and you never know if this i snot a beginning of something bigger? What if your screen falls off? (bit paranoid, but you know what to say in the store if they gonna give you hardtime )

Get it replaced! A $500 phone should not have that.

yeah, get it replaced if you want to. But i have a dead pixel on my G2, it bugged me for about a week, but ive forgotten its even there now haha

RMA? Screen / Screen Temp

I feel like maybe I am just too picky but I wont be able to be at ease unless I RMA. What do you guys think?
I have two devices one 32gb (ordered while waiting for my frost 64gb) and my frost that just came today.
Right off the bat I could tell the frost's screen was dull... not bad by any means still vary usable just dull when compared to the other device. The colors didn't "wow" me like the silver 32gb device does.
I feel bad for even worrying about such a little thing. The device works great and if i didn't have the two in hand I probably would have never known the difference.
After comparing the two It is a pretty noticeable difference the colors don't pop on the frost as they do on the other. I have messed with all the brightness/and display settings with no changes.
Ill post pics once I find my camera cord... (shortly) however I am afraid they dont show the differences between the two as well as in person.
EDIT: The one on the left is the Frost and is dull compared to the right

RMA it. I had a similar problem and the replacement had noticeably better contrast.

Thanks I think I will... the picture doesn't do it justice! I cant seem to capture how much difference it truly is in person but it will drive me nuts if I just settle. :good:
Wife is going to be so mad haha 3rd phone ... Return the first one (silver 32gb temp phone purchased to hold me over while waiting for my frost) and now have to RMA my frost that just arrived for a replacement.... plus I bought the Moto X pure when it first came out. I pawned that off to her when the nexus 6p came... She will never let me live this one down...

Same here. I just got my 128 GB Frost and the colors seem weak and don't seem to pop for an AMOLED. It looks washed out next to my Note 3 and shouldn't it look more, or at least as saturated/colorful as the Note 3? I even put the 6P into sRGB mode and there's little to no difference. Should I RMA? I just got it, how long does it usually take to get another one from Google?

Color convergence issues

Hi all,
I've had my 6p for almost two weeks and tomorrow is my last day to return it. They will not extend buyer's remorse to a replacement unit so before tomorrow I need to decide if the issue I have is specific to my unit (get a replacement) or related to the AMOLED panel used on this phone (cancel).
The issue is that colors seem not to converge correctly, just like old CRT screens would. This is most noticeable on high contrast borders such as black text on light backgrounds, which my brain interprets as embossed text rather than nice flat text. Below is a zoomed in example showing this issue, upper borders are reddish/darker and lower ones are greenish/bright.

Anyone else seeing this? my friend's S5 has a similar thing but way less noticeable and i could probably live with it, whereas my 6p is probably too much. Yes this is my first AMOLED.
Thoughts? thanks!

You are joking? Right?
That image is blown up how much??

400%. Otherwise you wouldn't see it on a forum, but real life you can see it with no need to zoom

Anyone facing gray text on note 4

Hello everyone,
I'm facing a problem (or may be i have ocd) but I see that black texts on white background on note 4 is not even black. Actually it's more black on the left and some kind of gray on the right of the screen. But not completely like that. Some center block of the screen also have the gray texts. And somehow some character has the gray top and bottom and center black. It's very weird to me. I think I will borrow a camera to capture the screen and post here tomorrow.
I came to the Samsung warranty center this after and they say my screen is perfectly normal although I can see the unevenness by using web browser and especially kindle. I use kindle a lot and didn't spot the problem because mostly I use low brightness and black theme. They tested r/g/b/w/black using *#1*# and I don't see the problem here. I also borrow another note 4 and a s7e and also see the problem but not bad as my phone.
Is this by design?I used many lcd-product (iphone, ipad) and never met this problem.

same here, the display on note 4 is far from perfect. I have owned many note 4s most of them had an inconsistent display quality across screen. But not all people notice it...

Do you think this is amoled flaws? I don't have any problem view pictures, watch videos, but only seeing gray texts. I will borrow a good camera and upload the screen photo here.

I will borrow a better camera. Just got these pictures from iphone 6s. http://imgur.com/a/7JxGf

yes the display panel on most note 4s is like this but most people don't even notice it. Its not really a problem...very minor stuff....i used to worry about such minor things as well and kept wasting money on swapping one phone after another but i have learnt my lesson...there is no such thing as a "perfect phone" ! so get over it and enjoy your phone :good:

I found my issue. It's because the screen gets dirt and my finger print and effect the text quality. I haven't even think that text quality can be affected by such minor things. I cleaned them out and found the texts great again. But I want to say that even the screen is clear, some texts are not black, but not bad as in the picture.
