The photo below is an image of my phone displaying a light grey image in a dark room. The yellow tinted gradient on the left hand side is very apparent, but that is not what bothers me so much. If you carefully notice the area demarcated inside the red box, you will notice a horizontal band that is of a slightly darker grey. Is this a burn in? I have only had this handset for a couple of days, so I can't see how I'm already being affected by this phenomenon. One can also see how uneven the display is, overall.
Damn I saw your other post, seems like you were the unlucky guy who got the screwed up handset in the batch. Mine had a really faint tint on the left side which has now disappeared
Just go and exchange it. You will be much happier!
haha. ya, seems like I got the lemon of all lemons. Lets hope the replacement is ok.

So I have had my g tablet for a couple of weeks now and I have noticed that my display color seems a bit off. Mainly being the whites, they have a red tint to them but it is really across the board. Any ideas? Do I need to call Viewsonic for an RMA? What?
Also, just a side note, my wife just got her Ipad2 and I must say that is a slick looking device. And you gotta love that display with those WIDE viewing angles. I am not an Apple person because I don't think some program should be able to rule what I can and cannot add to my devices.
Update: So I think i might have figured out my issue. Apparently the screen is tweaked because when I put pressure at the opposite corners, upper left andlower right, all of a sudden BAM nice and bright. We will see how long this lasts.
Update #2:
Here are some pics of the device both before and after when the screen is acting up. Now it just seems like it is dark with the red tint now...
Oh weird, I've never seen something like that before. Is it still fixed?
Nope, it constantly switches back and for.
Hey guys. Was out and about the other day and was using my phone and as I tilted the phone down out of the glare of the sun I noticed some weird vertical lines on my screen. Each evenly spaced same colour etc.
I can not replicate the effect unless there is large amounts of light or im outside in real light. BEAR IN MIND ITS ONLY VISIBLE AT CERTAIN ANGLES.
The lines don't appear on any pictures or hinder the video. They ar only visible during sunlight.
What im wondering has anybody else got this I will say issue. Or any insight as to what it could be? If there's a problem Carphone warehouse will want to repair it and not give me a swap for a new phone. What light does anyone have to share. Or am I just being paranoid?
My Titan is exactly the same, I think its just the way the screen works and is nothing to worry about.

I've got mine from Carphone warehouse. Haven't noticed this yet. They will replace it for you within 28 days. Else it goes to HTC for repairs. However, where did you find this sunlight? It's been so gloomy out here. BTW as mentioned above, this could be just the normal screen behaviour. The other two issues with screen that have come up so far are - the pink dot in the middle and grey keys visible on white background. Nothing back from HTC.
Hold your Titan with the screen directly facing you, at about 3/4 arms' length (as in, just sorta normally with your elbow bent a little) under diffuse light, with the phone powered up and the screen off.
Then tilt the phone backwards. As you get about 3/4 of the way back, you might see a regular pattern of thin stripes running up and and down on the screen.
They are not visible when the screen is powered up. I think it's just a normal part of the way the LCD panel works. As an analog, on my Dell Venue Pro, I could see a grid of dots under its AMOLED screen when looking closely at an oblique angle similar to as described above.
I also have a matte finish screen protector on my Titan, which might be making this more pronounced. In any case, it is absolutely *not* happening when the screen is powered up -- even in black areas of the screen.
Hmmm... Maybe it's a future charging grid.
have you guys noticed anything new in regard to htc amaze blue lines. i just go the phone a week ago and i have been noticying the same things. any new info thank.
My Titan also has these blue vertical lines, and it is seen only in daylight with screen off.
I see the same too but I thought it was from my screen protector...
A few days ago me and my girlfriend both bought a Pebble Blue S3. Unfortunately mine has a yellow tint to the screen, as a lot of other users seem to have too looking at the various threads about this issue. This is clearly visible when displaying white, but also the greys are affected. The whites appear to be more yellow when brightness is at its lowest. The whites are less yellow at maximum brightness. In direct comparison to the S3 of my girlfriend all this is easily noticible. In addition, in direct comparison between both phones the front cover of my S3 looks darker than hers. So I was wondering: could it be that this yellow tint which is noticible and which is already reported by lots of people, is due to some kind of coating of the front cover? So in fact it isn't due the AMOLED screen itself, but due to the tint of the cover, which thus functions like some kind of filter?
I hope I have some time this week to return to the shop, and see if I can exchange my phone for another one...

Can you check the batch/date/country of your phone and let us know? It might be the new batch and can be the glass glue which is still not fully dried. I remember my iphone 4 32gb had this issue and i waited a week or 2 and it disappeared. Due to high demand the phones are shipped out much quicker and may take sometime for things like these to dry out.

Yep, if you tell me where I can find this information?
Yesterday evening I've been to another shop, and I've seen two other Pebble Blue devices. Both the front covers were lighter blue than mine SGS3, and the screens were more white as well...
It's on the back after you remove the battery. Also there is date/country on battery.

Same here and also Pebble Blue model...and it sucks! It literally ruins my day when you realize you shed 660 euro for...this crap of a display! Already installed Screed Adjuster from the Market (hate the new "Play store" name!!) but it's of little consolation. I think Samsung SCREWED UP big time this time and i'm toying with an idea of changing the model and, for that matter, getting out of Samsung followers as i've bee all these years. It's a shame 'cause I've been on all Galaxies ever and now they let me down.

I went back to the store and showed the problem. They agreed on me, and said it looked like someone threw coffee over it. They gave me a new phone without further discussion. The new one has a nice white screen.
Unfortunately this one has another issue; when I push the capacitive back button (and the phone is in silent/vibrating mode) I can hear a noise/static hiss coming from the speaker, which dissappears after 4 - 5 seconds...
However, the screen is way better, and looks rather nice. I suggest you go back as well and ask for a replacement.
So, I picked up my new V10 today, and I noticed something odd. It appears that the upper left corner of secondary screen has a problem with the Backlight. Just wanted to see if anyone else is noticing this.
It's most noticeable when the second screen is running with the main screen off, especially when there are notifications coming across, the upper left side of the screen is over-lit. Please see the attached couple of pictures for example. (The first picture is hard to see, but you can see the brighter corner on the second picture where I have an email notification). It's also noticeable when the phone is in use and both screens are on.
I'm just wondering if others are seeing this or if it's possible that I got a small defect from factory.
The secondary display does 'bleed', as mentioned in a few youtube reviews. Mine also bleeds. Apparently this is normal but definitely not appealing.
Mine does as well. Only noticed it in my pitch dark bedroom last night.

It's not a defect, just part of using backlights. Look up LG G2x backlight bleed, that was a whole different ballgame, lol.
I'm only seeing that bleed in the dark until that screens dims a bit then the bit of bleed dissappears. I've never seen what you have in your picture.

Yours looks very excessive. In normal viewing conditions, the backlight should not ever be that noticeable. The only time I ever see the backlight on my V10 for the secondary display is in a completely dark room when the screen lights up a little bit because the phone was moved or something. But in this case, the backlight is leaking into half the screen because of how backlight bleed works in an LCD - i.e. it is not a hotspot like you have.
When I got my first V10, it had a hotspot in the upper left corner of the main part of the display. I noticed it immediately but wasn't sure if it was a defect or not. Compared it to the demo model and the salesman agreed, so we swapped it for another V10 right on the spot - no issue now, the screen looks beautiful and the secondary display and notification bar blend PERFECTLY into the bezel during use. It nearly looks AMOLED unless in complete darkness. I would swap your phone ASAP.
Mine does to in a dark room but once it dims the second time when screens off its hardly noticeable. Not what OP has though.
Nothing like that on mine either.
I did notice a very faint glow on the top right of mine but this is as others mentioned...Only barely visible and only in pitch darkness.
What you showed on the top left doesn't seem "normal" at all. +1 on swapping it out. I'd say that's excessive and a defect.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, it turns out that it was not normal. Just rolled back in from the T-Mobile store. Took it in, expecting to be met with some resistance when requesting a replacement. To my surprise, they immediately agreed and replaced it!
The replacement does not have this issue. Glad to get that taken care of, really my only major gripe so far is gone.
Glad to hear it! Happy endings are the best.

Good to hear as well.
So there is no more light bleed on your second screen or it just isn't as pronounced as before?
I have some. The tiniest bit. In a dark room. Totally acceptable. I think this second screen is sexy as all hell
From reviews I knew there was a light leak issue. However, it does annoy me. I wish there was none at all our at least give us the ability to change the brightness. That being said, I initially thought the second screen would be dumb but now I can't imagine being without it. Switching between apps is so much easier now.

Can you try pushing a notification to yourself, while the screen is off and snapping a picture like you did in your first post? I'm curious to see what it looks like because when my screen is off and I get a notification with a white background it's bright on the left corner just like your picture.
I have the same issue on white notifications. Annoying but considering first gen of this type of display...if in future models I'm sure they will have a higher quality one in future.

Went to the T-Mobile store to compare my phone to the display model. After playing with the phones I could see that my second screen display was in fact brighter on the left edge than the display model, so I'll be exchanging mine as well. Hopefully, I get a better one but at the moment I'll have to wait, since they are sold out. It was such a pain in the ass to get the sales associate to see the difference. Unfortunately, she couldn't but when she called someone else over they agreed that it was brighter.
I started a new thread about the dimming of the second screen(probably shouldnt have after reading here). Has anyone figured out how to make the display brighter again with the screen off? I can hardly see it in a lit room..
Thankfully the set I have (HK Dual Sim V10, H961N) has very very slight, almost unnoticeable bleed for the 2nd screen
I exchanged mine yesterday. That top left of BOTH screens was horrible. We went through 5 devices and every single one had some sort of bleed. I picked the one that had the least, and none on the main display. I'm sure LG will revise the HW and fix the issue but anytime you pick up a device with new tech expect some sort of issue.
Mine bleeds a little, but I really don't care.
So I'm well aware of the AMOLED tech and that there is always some sort of a slight blue shift at an angle. I'm, honestly, completely fine with this. What is bothering me is that when my device is tilted it shifts slightly red before shifting blue. That happens at about a 30 degrees angle or so.
I saw somewhere in another thread around here that someone measured the whites to be calibrated at 6500K which is a bit yellow-ish than most LCD screens. In all honesty, though, my eyes can get perfectly callibrated to that temperature and if I haven't seen a bluer screen in a while I start perceiving the whites on the S9+ as perfect. And here's where the slight red shift just before the blue one starts to really bother me. For some odd reason, especially at night when the room is completely dark, this slight hinge of red completely decallibrates my eyes and when I get back to looking at the display straight-on whites appear to be very yellow-ish for a while. And getting into the red shift zone (about 30 degrees tilt) is actually rather common whilist handling a 6.2" inch device.
So do you experience a slight red shift before the blue one when you tilt your S9+ and if so - does it affect you in the same manner as it does affect me? I'm really curious as to whether I have an outlier display or this slight red shift is actually the norm across S9's and it's just me who has to suck it up eventually and just move on. Thank you for the input!
I had three s9+ devices and all of them had the exact same thing that you've described, so i'm pretty sure it's a common thing across all of the devices and therefore it shouldn't bother you
Is that an issue? Possibly all have it.

That's what I'm asking. So far only one person has responded, though. Is that so hard for people to just answer with a goddamn "yes" or "no"... :/
My first S9+ had a more pronounced blue shift but didn't shift pink before it shifted blue. Unfortunately, they had mistakenly sent me a single SIM variant even though I ordered a dual one. Second one was the correct variant but I noticed that it shifted red so I got the best of my 14-day return window and sent it back. My third one was similar to my first one and nothing in it really bothered me but as it turns out it had a dead pixel right in the middle of the display - somehow it took me 4 days to even notice it but once I did I just couldn't cope with it. So now I'm having my fourth S9+ and it's the same red shift right before it goes blue, just like the second one. I'm just trying to understand how common is the red shift because I'm this close to returning this phone as well but at the same time don't want to put the retailer through any more crap as I already returned 3 phones. It's actually an issue for me, even more so than any black crush or whatnot else. It's just that if I see a lot of people having similar displays that it might actually help me cope with it and move on until my next purchase somewhere in the future.
mine does and that's perfectly normal
Yes

My issue is the always on display. The clock has a pink hue to it. I've only hady S9 plus for about 2 months. Weird part is my girl got hers at the same time and hers has it also. It's very annoying. On top of that if I go to an all white screen mine has more pink than hers. I tried a painful factory reset and it's all the same.

It might be because of the wallpaper you're using
The clock (at least on the lock screen) will always have the same coloring and shading to it as the wallpaper
So maybe that goes for aod as well? Not sure because I'm not using aod, but it's worth a check
