I have them too.

Black spots that are visible on black backgrounds are called ink spots. They are very common in AMOLED screens, since almost every AMOLED screen have them.

I have them too. Now I can't stare at a pure black screen in a dark room. Very upset

I am so happy I don't have any black spots on my sgs3 yet galaxy nexus and sgs2 had them

Believe me, you haven't noticed them yet. But they are there =)

Yeah I have them too. They are normal.

how bad is it?
I am about to buy the s3 tomorrow. Every night i watch series in bed on my galaxy s. I cannot have a screen with weird black spots. Are they easy to notice (mostly i use screen filter to dim my screen an extra 75%). I'm really afraid these will be very very visible.

I didn't notice them until I dropped my phone on its face and got a couple of mini-scratches on the screen... now they're very visible, but they appear only where the scratches are.

Black spots
I use S3 for 8 months and black spots on the screen increases ....

Screen issues?

Has anyone who tried out this phone tested it for the screen lines/blobs issue that the S2 had?
I would also like to know this too the yellow tint issue, and black blobs. I had the issue in both my SGS 2 black and White...though in galaxy nexus it was vey negligible but still there . I hope its not in SGS 3
There seems to be a pink tint rather than yellow tint.

Should probably wait a bit before buying this phone, who knows what the probability is.
Bump. People should know about this before buying the phone.
Most of the screen won't have tint problems . But still people can check the screen using lcd test code before taking it to home

What about black crush issues? Is it all pixellated when viewing dark videos or images?

I hate this on my S2. Hopefully in a few days when people start getting their phones we will have these questions answered.
LCD TEST CODE is *#0*#

Has any S3 owner checked the issue about the pixelization when viewing dark videos or images?

Yup! I received my SGS3 yesterday, and after seeing this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658601 I checked the Iron man Pepper Kiss video on Youtube and I did not notice any problems!
The pixelization is sometimes caused by poor encoding.
I received the phone yesterday.
Did the LCD tests.
All tests are crystal clear. RGB backgrounds look like glass and the black videos are deep blacks without pixalation of any form.
I also checked another thread talking about some kind of pixels that were appearing as different colour and this didn't occur either.
The screen works perfectly and it does look gorgeous despite that pentile screen debate.
If a phone doesn't perform as described by me (and many many others) then the phone is simply defective and will be covered by DOA.
Bumb:cyclops: sorry

Blotches when viewing a black screen.

I noticed my screen has black blotches in the screen that are only visible when you are in are dark room looking at a black (or dark gray) background. Both of these conditions must be met to see it. This is actually my second gs3, I returned my first one cause it did it really bad and I later noticed that the new one also did it. Can any of you guys confirm that yours also does this? Go to Google images and l search black and look at that image.

Just wanted to hear that it's normal, I figured it was the case after my second phone. It's hard to feel like your phone may possibly be defective when it's less than a week old. Looks great 99 percent of the time.

Screen shot plz

I guess OP means the screen is not turned off, as amoled supposed to be, while showing black color. I don't have SGS plus but S2 is the same. No big deal to me though.

Yes I've noticed the screen doesn't go 100% black like the GS2 but it's pretty close (comparable to a really good LCD screen). I sure wouldn't call it "bright". Can you provide screenshot?

[Q] Small black tint on the screen

Yep there is a topic on it in general section I think. "ink marks" or something. Personally I think it is not a major problem. I have 2 or 3 tiny spots but most of the time we don't use the phone in a pitch black environment, nor are we looking at a pure black screen (how often do you spend in the homescreen?). It would however be an issue if it was noticable during movies, games etc, where the viewing experience is paramount

Yes true, it would be an issue if it was visible while watching movies and such.. but question is how long should this ink spot last compare to the other parts of the screen?
What does this ink indicate?
Yes I have them and it annoys me. And I don't understand why people defend it and say it's okay, we've all paid a lot of money for these phones how is it okay or acceptable to have black dots all over the screen? Yes it's only under very specific conditions but that's not the point, it is extremely annoying watching movies when they fade to black, when in the app launcher under dark conditions. And it's not just 1 or 2 small dots it's like someone broke a black pen and flicked it all over the screen.
It's just the way how the amoled is made. Every amoled has it. Don't worry. U won't notice that after while

I've only had the phone a few days now so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt since everything I've read is saying you get used to it but...... It's there..... There are dots on the screen every time there's black, how do you get used to that? I understand every AMOLED screen has it but don't you think that if it's that big a problem then the screens aren't ready for prime time and need to improved? I've found myself using white everywhere when black is what saves battery on an AMOLED screen and black looks good on an AMOLED screen but I can't stand the dots.

I have it too, annoying to know they're there but not that big of a deal in every day use. Still buggers me every once in awhile tho.

Dead pixel?

I've noticed on my screen when my screen shows black that I have like a dark little line on my scree about half a cm long and about a mm thick. Is this a dead pixel? When I do the colour dead pixel test it's fine but soon as it goes black it's quite visible.
And ?

do you have a scratch gaurd on the screen?
if yes, maybe its just an air bubble
Are you talking about the ones visible in dark environments with low brightness? Kinda like stains? If yes, that's normal

Indeed it will probably have it
It's not easy to see those stains, I can only notice them when it's dark and the screen is turned on and fully black :good:

Yes, I do have a black stain but not as bad. And it's very small not a big line plus spots. Anyways.. At least my new phone has a sane chip:laugh:
