Green tint, blue tint, lines....etc..
My first device had problems making calls.
Second device had a white burn in mark.
Third device has a faint white horizontal line near the bottom...
Really?
I've also seen a few people complaining that they had circles burned in to the screen
Now is this a problem with OLED screens in general, or is this just a poorly made device? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the phone, but this is getting ridiculous.
I've had 2 devices in the past 3 days (Best Buy wouldn't match Sam's Club tax pricing) and I haven't had an issue with the screen on either. There's the slight bluish tint when you look at an angle but nothing I'd consider an issue myself.
My screen is great no lines or nothing. I think the amoled screens just intensify the colors so much people think the colors are tinted...and maybe they are...still looks amazing

First 2 devices were purchased from an AT&T store in Wayne,NJ. Third device was purchased from an AT&T store in West Caldwell, NJ
First device from AT&T store, no issues.
I believe I read in the normal Galaxy SII thread that theres a screen calibration app that fixes it. I'll see if I can't find it.
Here are a couple pics showing my issue. Don't know if I should return it or not...
Not the best pics, but you should be able to see the darker center. The light part that looks like a white line goes upwards on the right side as well.
I upgraded today at the local ATT store... first one had a very noticeable coloration problem in the lower right hand corner, almost in the shape of a triangle... Went back and exchanged it... Number 2 looked fine when I powered it on at the store, but now I am noticing the same lightness. I created a simple gray jpg and emailed it to myself (so I can open it using gmail and see it) and it was really bad on number 1... Number 2 barely noticeable.
I will give it a couple days, perhaps the screen will work this problem out itself... otherwise I will be going back to the ATT store for another exchange.

It's been a couple days, so I think I'm going to return mine. I might just hold out for the next powerful phone. I'm having trouble with data and receiving texts on this device anyways. Oh well
SGS2 from an AT&T store and it's amazing. No problems at all.
For some reason the only time I get a green tint is with auto brightness on. When its off there's no tint regardless of the brightness level
I actually returned my first SII to Best Buy. Had a big white triangle in the bottom left corner. Obvious when the notification shade is down. Best viewed on gray colors. Got a 2nd, had slight circles burned into the top. But they were very faint and I gave it a few days. Completely gone.
Why would it take a few days to go away

No clue. The triangle didn't go away on the first phone. The insignificant burn in on the second one (dim dim outlines of circles at the top, probably from a testing app Samsung uses) went away after a few days. I guess the screen adjusted.
Nothing but absolutely spectacular performance from my Sunday AM Best Buy purchase.
Bound to be a percent or two failed units.
Too busy finding and loading apps....
Only a single force close so far, probably me being impatient.
God I love this phone.
My phone seems to go dim from time to time.

My lovely new shiny prime has now got 2 dead pixels on different parts of the screen. Does this warrant a return to PC world in Swansea or is this acceptable as it is under the number that is set as standard as faulty unit. Going to try the GPS outside son on a clear nice night to see how it performs
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
return it. I wouldn't take a dead pixel for a new unit.
I would say 1 dead pixel is enough. Its up to you. If it bothersyou or is in a bad spot (like the middle of the screen)

I have a few I think it was about 6 and it's now down to 4 they are very spread out and can't be noticed unless you are on a boot screen or a similar black screen and you look really close!

Thanks for that, looks like a trip to my local PC world for a swap or refund tomoz afternoon
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
I just swapped mine at Best Buy because it had only 1 dead pixel. It was really annoying, and for $500 it shouldn't have any.
Try a pixel fixer app first lol
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I had to return my first one. It had two suck pixels right in the center. One red and one green. Hoping the next doesn't have any but it seems from the comments on this board it is very common. If i have to return a second one i will not be buying a third.
PC World took it straight back with no problems and gave me a full refund.£500 richer now and not sure what to do? Buy another one or wait for a newer version,,

I agree with everyone who responded to this post. If you're not happy with your device, exchange it.
There is a warranty card that came in the box that explains what ASUS considers as their TFT Display defect policy.
Minimum defect requirements for service:
3 bright dots or 5 dark dots or 8 bright and/or dark dots in total; or
2 adjacent bright dots or 2 adjacent dark dots; or
3 bright and/or dark dots within an area 15 mm in diameter
Just curious, does this video fix anyone's dead pixel problem?

I have 1 dead pixel that I can't stand. Would RMA'ing to NewEgg for an exchange be faster? Or should I just have a warranty repair?
idk asus wont fix just one dead pixesl unless its a dark spot which must suck
i have like 4 white spots and they are not noticable lol

Same here, I have 2 of them near to speakers. I only see them when the screen is black( like webos booting). Probably something is pressing to lcd. Can we do something against it? Does it go under warranty?

I have them at random spots at random times (sometimes right at the middle of the screen); I tried sending it in for repair, but they just sent it back after doing a doctor - so the problem is still there.
Took some pics when it happened if someone wants to see it.
Maybe dead pixels?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
No, in my case, it tends to come and go as it pleases.
I have those spots as well. I think its just normal clouding as on most TVs. Since its only visible when the screen is completely black, its not that much of a problem.
One time I pressed down on the center of the screen by mistake with my elbow, and when I looked at the screen there was a yellow light halo in the center about an inch wide. I freaked out, but I 'massaged' the screen softly in the center and it went away. Might be something pressing behind the screen ?
I've yet to get my TP, hopefully by next week.
But as I read all your posts, it sounds a little bit like "Screen Burn in".
But, burn in usually most noticable with a white screen, not a black screen like some you have mentioned. Again I'm just taking a wild guess here.
I guess I will be able to contribute more when I get my device.
But then again I'm Hoping I won't have this problem at all.
=o)
Edit: 02/10/2012
I've had my HPTP for over a week now and have yet to experience any yellow spots on the screen anywhere.
Could this be an issue that happens over a period of time?
How long have you guys had your HPTP before this problem started?
I have the problem also. There are also some issues, like glue-points between the display and the cover, the display sticks off at the home button and there are other issues of the production. My touchpad is only a few weeks old and now i will send it back under warranty.

yup, same thing just happened to me
On the left side and up in the corner if it is a yellowish on dark that is lightbleed. I have it bad enough it is very visible even at 50%. This appears to be a common issue. I sent mine in for something else and it came back with still light bleed. They have offered advanced replacement, but the more I read the more I believe this is common and will never be fully free of it.
Here's a slideshow for people to make fun of:

Its actually worse than the camera picks up;

Yeah thats nothing like what I have. You should send that in

I already have, but as mentioned, it just came back the same way; I've had this problem since I've bought it.
The worst ones are at the edges of the screen, but I didn't manage to get pics of when it happened.
Looks like internal screen delamination. That should def. be covered under your warranty as its a manufacturing defect that occurred when the screen was originally made. It's nothing you did.

The problem is that even though its under warranty, they don't do anything about it - possibly because they do not notice it as it pops up at random times.
So I'm having this slight yellow tint on my S3. It's not super visible but I do notice it. I also compared it to a show model and mine definitely had a tint while the one in the shop was just pure white. Should I return it or just leave it as it is?
If anything the tint should be blue due to the pentile display.
it could be down to your screen mode which you can change under settings > display > screen mode
Screen mode doesn't change the tint.

Hmm, I would suggest getting some other people you know to look at it and confirm it has a tint without trying to sound harsh it could just be your eyes. If not take it back to the store its still going to be covered by the stores warranty and of course manufacture warranty.
are we talking about the casing or the screen?

I actually compared it to the store model. It definitely has a tint. But a guy at the service center said the tint might go away. There are more cases where the adhesive had to dry or something, so the screen would have a yellow tint the first two weeks or so. If it doesn't go away I will send it to samsung in a couple of weeks.

If you're still within the 14-day return period I wouldn't chance it and just get a new handset now. That would be the safer option.
That sounds like a line, the guy at the store probably doesn't want to do anything for you. If I paid a lot of money for a device and or 3 year term you better bet I'm getting the best phone possible without defects. My 2 cents...
There are at least 2 two other threads about this here and there is also two on swedroids forum (use chrome for translation).
I have the same problem and I have sent it back to the retailer as a DOA. I hope I get a new one!
Looks like it's not meant to do it I goggled for like half an hour and there is nothing coming up for yellow tint due to adhesive.
I'll be mad as hell when I get my S3 and it had the same thing. It's bad enough looking at it on my S2.
The yellow or pink tint is something pretty common almost all S3 I've seen (about 6 sets). The severity and location of the tint varies from set to set. On my current set, the screen is yellow at the top 25% and pinkish on the rest of the screen. My previous set was yellow on 50% of the screen right in the centre.
This problem is most obvious on light colored backgrounds (eg. white, grey) when we surf the web. An easy way to see is to download LCD-Test app from play store.
Very very disappointing widespread defect on an otherwise superb phone.
Well I they said that they wouldn't wan't to take it back as I had some other problems with other S3's and they already replaced those. But anyway.. Is there a chance the yellow tint will go away in the next week or so? As I heard it is often caused by some kind of adhesive.

Does anyone even know whether the glass of the s3 is fixed to the screen with adhesive? The yellow tint is really obvious imo.. I really dislike it and want ti return my GS3 asap.

I would honestly leave it. You might end up getting a worse phone with dead pixels or worse.
All phone screens are slightly different. There will be a rom/kernel out eventually that will let you tweak your color settings.
My i9000 used to have a slight yellow tint. Now I've set up voodoo color it's a pure white. I'm sure your phone is perfectly capable of displaying a pure white too.

Well I actually don't plan on rooting it.
I'm more than 1 week in and the tint hasn't changed a bit. I made the screen a bit hot (not too hot) so that if the tint would be caused by adhesive it would dry. As there is no change in more than a week I'm not really expecting the tint to change. If the issue persists more than 2 weeks I will bring it back and keep everyone updated on how the service is, so that people will know whether they can send their phones back in case they have a tint.

Someone please post a screenshot of the yellow tint, I am going to sue Samsung on this now.
Hello All,
I have a Verizon G3 which I bought a couple of months back. For a few weeks, I have observed that there is light purple hue on the right hand side of the screen. It is prominent on light backgrounds and on dark backgrounds the right side looks bit darker. Am I victim of the screen burn issue or the LCD has gone bad. Please help.
Thanks.

I would get a warranty replacement or repair. That's not normal.
The phone is less than one year old so it has to be covered, even if you bought it second hand, lg has to honor the warranty directly.

If you notice, the screen looks a tad bit dark on the right. This is a Verizon G3 bought in the US and am using it in India. Would any of the burn in fix tools available in the Play Store Help. I can't ship it back to US. Got it of CG List, person got it as gift. Was in box unopened..

You can get warranty repair directly from lg, doesn't matter where you bought it. The phone has been released less than a year, so they have to honor the warranty.

Updates:
Warranty not applicable in India.
I switched ROM, was on Eclipse and now on Dirty Unicorn from At&t with VS985 kernel - Tinge reduced a bit.
Had actually pasted the qi charging sticker on the back cover bought from eBay, removed it again some improvement.
Still some amount of discoloring is present, screen is not uniformly white / gray but better than before.
Noticed that the screen feels hotter in the area of the tinge.
Can this be the retention issue seen on LCD ? Can there be any changes to thermal settings or display profiles which may fix this ? Like using Synapse or similar tool to change display profiles or using the burn in fix tool

so you are saying if I, a g3 owner, decide to move to india tomorrow, then next week my g3 has a hardware issue, lg will no longer cover it because i moved to india? i find that extremely hard to believe.
Technically if you purchase a retail phone with the bill and stuff and you are the first owner you would get the warranty. But as I mentioned I got it off Craigslist and its a Verizon branded phone, the warranty won't apply.
Take a very very close look it might be screen burn.... If it is get a screen burn app... Let the app run one night and don't let screen fall asleep
