stain in bottom of the screen - LG G6 Questions and Answers

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.

"Streaky" colors on my MDA

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).

This streaky junk:
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?

Japanese Privacy Screen Protector

Has anybody used these with a pressure sensitive touch screen device and the Touch Pro in particular?
I've never seen one in the US but they're all over the place in Japan. It like a screen protector but when viewed at an angle over ~30degrees from perpendicular the screen is unreadable or black, sometimes with a image on it.
This page shows how it works, the page is Japanese but there's pictures.

The difference is they're stiffer and thicker than the usual screen protector so I wonder how well the pressure sensitive screens like the Touch Pro work. Since the pressure sensitivity is adjustable they might still work good anyway.
There's a Touch Pro specific one for sale here for $8 so I'd think that means it works decently.

And the next question is can anybody in Japan order these up for us? Maybe expansys can buy them in bulk and resell them to us?
I am sure this is nice especially in Japan where it would be annoying to have someone constantly trying to look at your screen so they could watch you weird cartoon pr0n.
Nice find... very nice. I'll try to get a few. You can as well go request this in Dealextreme... if the demand is high, they will consider of getting it listed.
Nice one, I will have a look at the shop on the way home tonight and see how they perform.
Pocketsolutions has them, just not for the fuze yet.

Problems with the screen

I have bought a SGS II and I like it a lot but I have some screen problems (and it is not related to the yellow/blue tint on the left side). My problem is that compared to the screen of SGS I, my screen is much worse, because there is a kind of "layer" (only noticeable with low bright and you have to pay a bit of attention)like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
that makes that when the brightness is low (on the device) the screen should be like this:
but instead of that I see something like this:
. It's a kind of layer that is showed every time, so I see that noise and I think that something is wrong with my device, or do you have this problem too?
Sorry, but I can't post URLs, so open them.
Like some sort of static image noise or dithering is going on, thats absolutely not normal.. What you can do is maybe go back to the store and have it check/compared with another unit.
Defective screen? Take back to shop!
looks like a (bad) screen protector foil is applied. if that's how your screen looks like without anything applied to it, return the device to the shop...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's what I will do, I hope my next SGS II doesn't have this problem, anyway, I have to wait at least one month to receive a new one .

[Q] One-sided color shift when looking at the screen at an angle

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.

LIght Bleed

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.
