So I acquired my s3 this Sunday and today I was watching Netflix and I notice some markings while the screen was black. I hadn't notice it till now and it's bugging the heck out of me. Do any of you have this? Could I take it to Sprint and have them exchange it? It's so noticeable in a black screen

That sounds like my GS2. This has been a major problem with the Galaxy S2, at least on T- Mobile. When the screen is black, you can see little lines. I haven't heard of this on the Galaxy S3 though. They should take it back and give you a new one. I was hoping Samsung had fixed this problem. Good luck...

It's called ink marks, search forums here for multi-dozen page threads on it.
AMOLED sucks. It has "ink marks", it's very dim, bizarre over-saturated colors, and the whites look "dirty" e.g. yellow or pink, and also there are tints from the sides and also a tint gradient sometimes where half the screen is slightly tinted even straight on. And S III is also PenTile (blurry).
Look at the HTC One X screen or EVO, Incredible, even a Droid or another phone with LCD. S III is far inferior to these unfortunately.

The smudges are getting annoying because they look ao bad. Does anyone know how I could show it to the AT&T person, so I could get a new one?

It's a common thing with the phone, and it actually does not ruin the quality of the screen at all. Just don't look at a black screen in a very dark room...
I've only run into one case where I ever see it: feeding my baby daughter in the middle of the night while waiting for a netflix movie to load. Once anything else comes on the screen, my eyes adjust and I can't even tell it's there.
My Captivate had the same thing and even after more than a year the display looks fantastic. I don't think it's anything to worry about unless it frequently bothers you during normal use.
I exchanged my SGS2 today because of screen issues. they exchanged it no questions asked. the screen looks better on this one
http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com/at-t-galaxy-note-front-screen-assembly-white/
I noticed that the replacement part to fix the LCD/screen issue if anyone has one (cracked screen like mine). I noticed they sell the entire unit with the front white housing. It seems possible to buy the white replacement and install in the black galaxy note if not mistaken. Trying to shed some light for anyone who has a black galaxy note and is in the same situation as me.

if its i717 parts it will work with any i717 phone. black or white
i just wish companys like this would just sell the glass some of us have broken glass but digitizer works fine! *and some of us know how to use a heat gun to separate the 2*
Yeah well you know how some manufacturing companies can be jerks and the two pieces would have the smallest differences making them incompatible. Just my .2 cents
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
nah, you can make your black note white without issue.
or white note black if thats your thing.
seen it done for i717 and n7000 without flaws.
also id look for a canadian white i717 note, then you dont have to have the fugly as hell ATT logo at the top
Yeah well aren't there ways to get rid of it? Or no way to remove it?

Blue got better colors than White..I was really confused.Also, I used same wallpaper on both phones and they didnt have same colors. Is it normal? Does anyone got same problem?
No GS3 will be exactly identical due to manufacturing process. Choose the best you found.

All S3 has a slightly different colour actually. Blue or white S3... You can find one Blue/White S3 that look nicer/uglier than yours actually.
Duhhhh....in terms of specs, they are absolutely, 100% identicle! So how the blue can be better than the white is beyond me....unless you've just created this thread to cause arguments....

- Similar , identical phones , just color variation , unless you're likely specific football team
If the color variation is so great that it warrants a discussion, the two phones - most likely - had different "screen modes" selected.
Settings > display > screen mode. The difference between Standard and Natural alone are relatively dramatic.
You're most welcome.

Also the screens are extremely inconsistent your blue one may no tint (lucky duck) and white may have a tint like I do (ugly yellow :banghead: )

I dont think they have different hardware
Ever single phone has identical parts but the screens can differ. E.g there was big issues with blue/yellow tinted screens with the iPhone 4**** due to the glue etc used in the displays

It can be because of phone's color surrounding the screen i.e. in blue frames the colors looked better than in white frames (because your/my/somebody else's brains work that way - "correcting" the colors so you "can understand those").
Try removing the phone color or changing both to same color from video/image and then compare to see if there are differences.

I think the two S3s that you got just happens to have a different batch of screens.
One screen has a cool tone, one as a warm tone. The cool one, will tend to make whites a little blue, while the warm one will make whites q little yellow.
It's perfectly normal. In fact, both have their pros and cons.
Warm ones tend to display colours in a way pleasing to the eyes. Cold ones are not as pleasing, but are way more accurate.

Hardware built are totally the same. Just based on your preference. White looks clean, but blue looks cool...Match with different colors/types of casings will make your devices look even nicer.

Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
Do you mean across the notification bar? Or throughout the screen? I have seen burn in (in the notification bar) on two of the warranty replacements I received recently. They both had black vertical blotches on the screen visible on gray backgrounds, and one had a triangle of brighter color. There was a huge deal about this, very common issue with the early devices. Under normal circumstances it can't be seen, but I think a vast majority of i777's have the splotches. All 4 of the i777's I have used had at least the splotches when viewed on low brightness and gray images.

How about a fourth? My screen has a little bit going on but only when the screen is extremely dark do I notice it... in other words, not a big deal unless it's really bad.

My wallpaper color is black and I'm not sure if I like it. Someone tell me what to do do I need new wallpaper? My dishes are square, I don't know if I like them, Wtf do I do?! Dude. If the screen bothers you. Have it replaced. If it doesn't, don't. Ultimately yer he one that has to live with it and see it everyday. None of us can stand next to you and look at your screen for u.

I don't know if I want to keep my white or go with the Grey. opinions are welcome. Which one looks better, white or Grey? Thanks for the help.

It's all preference.
I liked the grey better, but that was because of the home button. The white didn't match in my eyes.
If you're looking to switch, may want to hold off because word is, a black version is coming out soon.
What he said ^^.. My daughter has the white one and I have the grey one. I personally like the grey better but she likes the white better. All preference.

It's a known fact that the grey one is faster, gets better reception and will not break if you drop it!!
Ok, none of that is true, but it is true that the grey one looks better!!
Ok, that isn't true either (for a lot of folks)!
But if you are asking for opinions, then mine is. . . GREY!!
I suggest you go to a store and hold both phones. Then pick the one you like best and buy it.
Good luck.
The grey looks less cheap, will hide dirt better, and the gd button doesn't stand out as much.
The white flip cover gets dirty on the inside of the cover quite quickly. The white however may lend itself better to the new coloured flip covers that are available. I don't know if grey and pastel-orange or blue will look so good.
I went with Grey. I had the white galaxy s3 and if you have a screen protector on the phone it starts looking dirty after awhile due to finger oil/dirt that happens to rub off.
Can't go wrong with either though.

I came to say similar things about the white one, lol.
I got a tpu hybrid case & it has black and clear parts to it, so it really looks nice over the white GNote, even if it wasn't I love the look of white on this, it really makes it pop
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I prefer grey. Looks better. But my sgs3 was white. Lol
I got the grey simply because it almost blends the VZW logo in with the phone; you don't see it as much. Also, there are going to be a lot more cases that will be black as opposed to white, and unless you like serious contrasting colors, most cases will match the dark grey of the Note as opposed to the white color. Hope this helps.
I got the white one. And I tell everyone I meet that I'm on a verizon plan.
