Anyone else having this problem with their note? I've noticed in brighter conditions the home button seems a little bit darker on the left half, as though its not lit up. But when I walk into a darker area it looks perfect. Anyone else have this problem? I have a white note. Not sure if that affects anything.
I forgot what review it was, but they talk about the light bleeding in the buttons on the white Note.
Mine light up evenly, there is some bleed around the icons since my note is white.
When I set my capacitive key backlight to "In the dark" they stay lit up as long as the phone is awake regardless of the light level.
I see the bleeding but its not that. In anything but bright light its not noticeable, but in the sun, it looks like the left half isn't lighting up

Does everyone's keyboard light up all the keys? Or did I get a defective phone? I notice that the 3, 6, and 9 keys are real bright and the rest of the keyboard in between is sort of dim, almost like a wave of lights across the keyboard...i also notice my 1(!) key is very very dark, almost like no light at all...should I exchange my TP for another one? other than that my phone works great!
those areas are where the light sources are. mine is almost the same way. i don't really mind it that much since the rest of the phone works great.
Mine is the same they probably just did 3 lights at the top instead of lights all around the keyboard to save power.
oh. i guess its more noticeable in the light when its not really necessary. i wish the light sensor would sense keyboard light is not needed. in the dark it appears that the entire keyboard becomes lit, just brighter in some spots than others
have a fuze from att...its the same way.
Hi Guys - great phone which I've had a week or so now. Upgraded from the first Galaxy S.
Now I must admit to having very good eyesight (sometimes wish I couldn't see finer details!) and..
On white / grey images (download the various screen test apps to have a look for yourself)
The screen, when on a low brightness, is "muddy" and demonstrates a few vertical darker lines on the screen with mine showing quite a prominent one in the bottom right heading up about half way up the screen.
This is mostly visible when the brightness is at a minimum (regardless of auto or the powersaving options)
When the brightness is turned up it is barely visible, if at all... looks fantastic..
But.. at this point I preferred the screen on the Galaxy S which, when dimmed was more vibrant and didn't have this "problem"
Hands up who can see what I see? Any darker lines visible on your white / grey backgrounds? a side effect of this new subpixel arrangement? totally normal? some pixels not as bright in a row hence darker lines?
What do you guys think?
Cheers, B

Could you take a pic or something?
ASAP yes (no camera ironically so will have to ask a colleague!)
hold menu and press power button for screenshot off the device.
Yeah, mine set to minimum brightness and has some line artifacts like when LCD supplied with low voltage. (low brightness setting)
Easily noticeable when displaying grey colors.
I'm also using Screen Filter app, setting brightness even lower, some black points around 0.3cm is exposed at night.
Not sure those points are affected by anti-scratch film though.
Hola
I can confirm that I see the same "line banding" effect when using the device with low brightness. Like others have mentioned I also use the free Screen Filter app to get even lower brightness levels especially when reading stuff in bed in the near dark.
I would think this is a side issue with having the Super AMOLED Plus type screen but I guess only a Samsung tech can confirm.

65" long exposure exposing some black spots.(digitally enhanced)
Lowest brightness + Highest brightness.
Wondering those spots are caused by screen protector or defective screen or limitation of current AMOLED's.
You can see there is some current leak.(It should be bezel-like black if it is ideally off)

Not sure I understand you cpu98!
Is there a consensus we all have this "problem" - i'm on the verge of taking it back for a refund and "monitoring things"
Anyone understand the tech / spoken to Samsung?

Not sure what those black spots are... is your camera messed up? There's spots on the right even off the phone...
Also yes, pure black for SAMOLED still produces SOME light, but it's almost indistinguishable to the human eye.
Take a picture of a dark grey image on low brightness and it should show the bands the best...

That spot off the phone is on the wall not defective cam. As you can see photos are taken at different angle. And it is visible in naked eye.
Yeah I like its screen very much. That black issues are no problem in real use.
I'm very satisfied.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this on their RAZR. While in landscape mode (I first noticed this while watching Netflix). In the corner near the search capacitive button I noticed the lighting for the capacitive button seeps out a little, like a very small amount. It doesn't overwhelm the screen or anything. When holding my phone upright and looking down towards the capacitive buttons, I do notice some light coming out from the left and right corners. Just wondering if this is because of the design and is normal? Or is it a flaw in the phone? Thanks!
I have noticed this as well on my unit. I have also noticed black blotches on the screen that can be seen when the screen is completely black.

Hmm. It is somewhat hard to notice, I'm still wondering if it is a design thing or flaw.
I have exchanged my Razr and there is still light bleeding from the capacitive button (search). Also the black blotches remain when the screen is black and the backlight is on.

Thanks for confirming this.
droid razr
My screen also has the blotches when the screen is black and in low light conditions.my capacitive buttons also bleed into the screen in the corner but its not something i notice only when i really scrutinise the device.
I have a small streak or two of the blotches but they're only noticeable during the black boot up screen, not when using Netflix or YouTube.
There's absolutely no leaking from the white light of buttons though..
I also have the black bloches, it's like the screen isn't AMOLED; the black's aren't completely black, i compared it to the Galaxy S 2 and on the Galaxy you can hardly see where the edge of the screen is because it is completely black but on the RAZR it's as if the screen is more greenish where the Galaxy would be completely black.
The black's look better on the first Galaxy S than they do on the RAZR
I first noticed when i started using NOLED, i like it better than the led notification light on the RAZR
In any case, quite dissapointing
BTW i don't have light bleeding from the capacative buttons
Hmm. So some units have it and some don't? I do confirm the black blotches when watching netflix and the screen goes black you notice it. The light bleeding i noticed while watching a full HD movie and I was like eh.. What's this tiny flash moving in the corner. That's when I noticed the light bleed, and it occurs only when the capacative buttons are on. Another member stated that he exchanged his RAZR and his replacement one has the same issue as well. I've looked around and it seems other devices also have this issue as well. Not sure if it's just a design flaw or defect.
@Dusanzk you might actually have a defective unit if that's the case, cause some people were complaining about a green tint on the phone. My blacks and black, why whites are white, I have no problem with colors at all. Just that bleeding ;(.
It's quite hard to notice at first, i only notice in the dark and when the screen is completely black.
I downloaded an app called Burn In Tester, you can adjust the colours on your screen to see what they look like and when i choose black that's when i notice it.
Regarding the green tint, i'm not sure that's the problem i'm having because it's only a problem when something black is showing on screen and it's dark, in all other situations the screen looks amazing, like my Galaxy S 2
Hey guys so I just picked up my LG V10 2 days ago, I knew there were some issues with light bleed on the upper left corner of the 2nd screen but I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
The first night I had the 2nd screen off, however last night I decided to give it a try since it seemed like an elegant idea to have on this phone.
In the darkness of my bedroom the light bleed from the upper left was utterly atrocious, it actually fans out and extends into the other screen to about where the notification bar is (this is with the main screen off). The light bleed is also quite bright at night, it is very visible from across the room and really destroys the user experience.
I'll update with photos this evening as I want to know if other users have a significant problem or it's something that happens on every few phones and I can exchange for a unit that hopefully has less bleeding.
I'd love your feedback on how the 2nd screen bleeding WITH MAIN SCREEN OFF is for you especially in a dark room.
Yeah mineb does exactly that..doesnt really bother me too much
If you're in a very dark or completely dark room, you're going to notice light bleed. It's unavoidable with LCD technology. Mine also bleeds a bit into the regular display. Look at the screen directly (not at an angle) and it should look a little better. Angles produce worse backlight bleed - you're going to notice when you're laying in bed and look over at the phone and see the backlight bleed being a lot worse.
The big concern is if the backlight is actually bleeding in normal day-to-day conditions. On my first phone, I noticed in the STORE that the upper left corner of the notification bar was brighter than the rest of the screen. It had backlight bleed bad up there to the point if it being visible in daylight on colored portions of the screen. Exchanged it for another phone on the spot and it looks completely fine now. In most conditions the second screen appears to be floating because your eyes are adjusted to the brighter ambient light and can't see the poorer contrast ratio of an LCD compared to an AMOLED. At night though, you will definitely see that the second screen would have been executed better if LG would implement OLED in their flagship phones.
I see a little bleed on the left edge of the second screen, when the main screen is off, but it doesn't bother me. I kind of like that the notification icon is brighter than the rest of the second screen because it helps me notice that I have a notification, especially since the phone has no notification LED (shame). The second screen is not important to me, plus I don't see the bleed when the main screen is on which is when I'm actually spending significant time on the phone.
There reason you see bleed is because the second screen has a dedicated white LED on the left edge that's separate from the main panel backlight and positioned to "inject" light from the side without being properly integrated with the panel's backlight diffuser. This is why you'll see this, to varying degrees, on every unit. When you're in a well-lit room with the main screen on, the second screen looks perfect, because that secondary LED is off when the main screen is on. Also, the second screen auto-dims based on the amount of ambient light, so you might see the bleed on the "high" mode when you first turn off the main screen, but not when it dims down to the "low" mode after a while. Maybe they'll introduce a new hardware revision that repositions the second screen edge LED or does something else to limit its bleed. We'll know in 1-2 months when the next batch of V10s hits the stores.
I replaced my V10 twice because it had yellow bleed at the BOTTOM of the screen by the navigation buttons and that annoyed me as hell, since it affects the colors of everything I do, especially watching movies. All three had second screen bleed. What was particularly interesting is that each had a different color temperature screen. My first one was reddish, the second one was blueish (like the G4), and my current one is greenish, it actually looks exactly like the Nexus 6P screen (I put them side by side to compare).
I'll agree with Nitemare3219's and siraltus' observations and comments. When the main screen is on nothing is really noticeable. When the main screen is off I have the second screen off. It's so dim I don't see the point to having it on. The second screen is a bit of a gimmick. If I had additional issues I might think of exchanging it (still have 10 days), but I don't notice any other screen issues, and my fingerprint reader works...with a case. Every LCD screen I've had has had some sort of bleed. The problem starts if it is noticeable during normal use/viewing.
Mine slightly lights up the whole right corner 1/5th down the screen, only visible in a dark room. I dont get bleed from the right like ive seen in pictures and youtube.
It's only noticeable when it's pitch black and my main screen is off, so it doesn't bother me at all. It's not noticeable any other time.
First the second screen has already become a staple of my use habits, it's no gimack. Yes bleed is there when main screen is off, no I don't like it, but don't feel it's as big an issue as some make it out to be. That's just me though, I can see it bothering some.

Same, the light bleed is noticeable in the dark, but not bothersome. It is not nearly brought enough to light up my room at all, and is very slight in the upper left corner of the second screen. For the usefulness of the second screen with my usage, it's an ok trade off for me.
If your not happy with it and your within the 20 days id return it. I did return my initial one and my second one is better with less bleed.
my bleeding is always noticeable but especially on dark rooms,
I posted the pictures here:

I've had my G5 since mid-April and I think I'm beginning to see light bleeding in the lower right hand corner of my screen. I haven't had much experience with light bleed but I assume it looks like light is peaking out from behind the screen when the background should be dark. Anyone else experience this, thoughts?
This is quite common with portable devices. My LG has it, my ipad mini 4 has it, my work monitor and my home 42" tv has it. Nothing to worry about really if you can put up with it.
Who puts their phone's brightness at 80-100% at dark places anyways
