I've noticed that to, its not just you. The blacks are not the rich high contrast dark that I am used to from my captivate. I'm hoping that we will get some color screen adustments once tweaked roms get cooked up.

It isn't just you...I have the same problem...
Same Here. Ugly Blacks....
Samsung Media Hub movies and TV shows looks great. I don't know why Netflix looks like this. Hulu also looks OK

YouTube was doing this to me as well
So what do u guys think. Bad screens or software related?
Sent from the Almighty Note!
Netflix used to do the same on my iPhone. Its definitely not the screen.
sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note.
So I'm not the only one noticing, great I think. Is there an actual fix in ics for this?
Software, not hardware. Known issue in the IGN.
I think maybe its the quality of stream that netflix uses cause when I play movies from my sdcard i dont notice it..
i always notice it though if the video res is really low.

I'm not in an LTE area but I have 30/5mb speeds with wifi. Netflix looks horrible still. I'm thinking that a lot of apps just weren't made for this size screen and a simple update will fix it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
yes i think hiii is correct. the netflix app on 2.3 series does not scale with screen size i beleve it is kept at a low resolution and that is part of the blockyness.
Use the following Netflix.apk file attached. It'll solve all the resolution problems. I've been using it for 2 days now.
Note: Do NOT update the app after you install it, or it'll go back to the one that doesn't work well.

It works better than the updated one, but it's still sort of disappointing that it doesn't look as hd as I'd expect. Thanks for the temporary fix though!

it's not just netflix it happens when you watch videos
on th note
My Netflix doesn't look bad. But we need to realize that....sure the International version has been out for a while, but is only now going mainsteam with the i717. That will make app developers take notice and start optimizing for the Note screen.

I will be watching it and it will randomly freeze but I can still hear the sound. I'm on alpha 2.1 with the newest netflix. Do I need a different version of netflix?
Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using XDA App
Yes, I have to quit Netflix and restart the video to get it to work. Any solutions?
Actually the latest version works perfectly for me. And i watch a lot of Netflix

I havent used Netflix much, mainly because the screen looks smushed because of the resolution. Anyone have a fix for that?
Happens to me to. On my htc sensation as well

I don't have that problem. With one of the newer updates Netflix goes to Tablet mode instead of looking like it's made for a phone. And the video quality is very decent, at least for Star Trek and Spongebob it is.
The HD Netflix app from the Razr works on the Rezound. Just thought I would put that out there. It is cleaner than the one pulled from the Android Market or Amazon. Version differences prove HD vs SD, 1.5 vs 1.6 on the build versions. No errors or any other issues.
Edit: My apologies. Was in a hurry earlier and thought I put this up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394637 is the correct thread. They janked it for the Nexus and I was curious.
So you tell us this and then dont post the apk?

I don't see a difference. Supposedly a portion of the screen is suppose to be cut off but mine is full screen. Video doesn't look hd either.

Yeah, mine goes full screen unlike that post, but I think the picture might be better. It's just a slight difference, though.
We won't get true HD on Netflix until the snapdragon has the proper security certificate like the omap does.
Yep
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I think the difference is only 360p to 720p. No full support at this time, but the reason the screen is shrunk is because the screen size is different. Resolutions for 1080 or 720 shrinks on the larger display. The video is only slightly different, but I did notice slightly better clarity. Could just be that I watch anime mostly and not too many real movies or episodes. Similar to what pulls up on my ps3 though. just about 46 inches smaller on the phone.
Is it possible to pay someone or switch the screen of the original galaxy s2 for a Hd one?
i dont think so.... it would effect the software and everthing..

It would be nice. Or i can find someone who does the job.
Why would you want a different screen than what is on the S2? I dont know of another mobile device that has a better looking screen than our, or one thats really even that is close to a sharp!!!
Idk. Just not Hd like the iphone. Still it is alright...

Put them side by side and you'll see that while the iPhone wins for resolution and clarity, the SGS2 far exceeds it with contrast and colors.
Tottaly agree... I don't see the point in replacing the screen anyway what do you need that high of a resolution for anyway?

Should have waited for the nexus or went with LG's 720p res phone. Also i work with a lot of iphone fanboys and not one yet has said they like their screen over mine
Screen Adjuster app lets you change red green blue plus contrast and brightness. I use it and it works well.
I use LCD Resolution app. Tw launcher isn't compatible but launcher pro and go launcher works great!

Samsung phones are highly proprietary and don't respond well to changes. Even using a non OEM battery can cause problems in some cases. What don't you like about the display? I think its pretty nice.

First of all,: have seen my brothers galaxy nexus and I haven't notice any of the problems you mentioned.
Secondly, No Galaxy Note doesn't have much of hardware issue other than some people complaining about black corners.
Just bad part with the Note for now is Gingerbread and Touxhwiz.
And after a week of use, with perfect size of device you won't even like to look at any small devices.

A lot of people seem to have varying problems on xda. Some people complain of laggy screens and low quadrant scores, so you might want to run a quadrant and make sure it exceeds 3000.
Another issue is the black clipping/crush some people are experiencing with dark wallpapers and videos. Run this YouTube video to test for this problem:

Lagging is just bcoz of gingerbread.
All should go away as soon as ICS update comes.
And black clipping crush is whatever I don't see it as deal breaker issuse and doesn't bother to many of us.

Black crush is when very dark images transitioning to lighter darks or other colors are very blocky. It is very notable on the devices that have it, I'm fortunate enough to not have it
Just run that YouTube video and see if it runs clear and smooth or very blocky.

Odin is very simple to use. And if you look in the development section there was a flash counter reset for ATT notes just posted today. I'm sure they'll have all the Canadian versions up before the day is over.

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL. There is an issue with the gnote and its black's. I would like to say 8 of 10 ppl are dealing with it. You can see the black blotch is very clear on the right side of your picture. No phone should do this. A fix should be coming with ICS, I hope

Yes its pretty bad. The lower the brightness the more visible it is on my note. Its kind of a buzkill when looking at my wifes HOXL and seeing perfect blending and no blotchy blacks.
Its gotta be a software issue, cuz I think I read somewhere the one x and note use the same panel tech right?
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
Sadly, the black crush problem, or "black clipping," is a very well known issue on both the i717 and n7000 Notes. It doesn't look like the official ICS update is going to fix the problem, but at least one n7000 developer, Supercurio, says he may be able to fix it once we have the official ICS source code.
Even though the problem affects nearly every Note, Samsung has never even acknowledged that the problem exists.
Keep your fingers crossed...
