Is it simply a side effect of the Ripple animation on the lock screen that causes it to appear washed out, with "blotches on the right side of the screen? Disabling the ripple effect causes wallpapers to be displayed with the proper contrast ratio, with no light colored blotches...but the "normal" lock screen sucks...
has anyone dug into the lock screen to see what it is that may or may not be causing this?
for example...you can even see it in screen shots...

That is really odd. Mine keeps the same aspect ratio. I loaded up a few backgrounds. The only thing it does on mine is gives it a more washed out look, but no weird blotches like yours. And in your screenshots, it fits the entire image in your lockscreen, but clearly the image cuts off on your launcher. Then again I am using the stock launcher as well. Both images are the same size.
Odd find indeed though. You should maybe try stock launcher and see if you get the same result for testing reasons.

I get "stain/smudges" on the screen too on a dark background with high brightness I tested on demo models to same.
If ripple effect is removed the no issue

I'm running 2.1 Generic Rooted. I also use FolderOrganizer with the Widgets/Containers.
I've noticed running the Sony 2.1 Home Screen that the transpararent background of the FolderOrganizer containers looks A LOT better than it use to.
However I prefer to run LauncherPro. When I use LauncherPro though the gradients look like they use too on 1.6.
Has anyone noticed this?

No dice. I did notice though that when I flip through home screens the gradient is "Sony Home Screen Quality" for a second then when the page is finished "bouncing" the gradient turns back to the ugly LauncherPro style.
Quite odd. Now that I've noticed it, it bugs me.
EDIT: Ok with the high quality scrolling on it looks normal anytime I'm scrolling pages. So I have HQ but only when scrolling then it is low quality when you release the screen. What the hell.
hi
i searched for this issue and the closest thing i found was this
here which happens at the lock screen only
1. its software
since it shows in screen capture it has to be software
i got a bad pc display but if i zoom in i can see the lines fairly well
it only happens at the lock screen

does any one else have this ?

Isn't it just your lockscreen background which is faulty?
I see no line on your added picture. Then this would be a hardware defect. Which I actually doubt though

You need to view the screen cap on a different device/computer. If you view it on the affected screen, of course it will appear in screen capture.
Viewed your attached file on my desktop and I see no lines. It might be your phone's screen!

not sure if this is discussed elsewhere or is the same thing as the black crush issue ....this is a bit different ....i see lines where the screen background gradiants from black to grey, some apps are worse than others.
it does not show with solid colors, only with gradiants like on ICS style menus.
had to take a picture because it doesn't show on a screenshot, this is one of the worst, the others are not as bad with only a few lines
anyone know what this is?

Exactly the same here. I don't know if go and take a new one, because I'm tired of these AMOLED Screens. On my SGS2 had the same problem, the ugly gradients, some green/yellow tint, and ink marks with not true deep blacks. And now, with PenTile.
Put this image on your S3, It's a screenshot of MegaJump. On my PC it looks well but on the phone... ahh.

Sorry friend, it's just Samsung. That's what we get from a "premium" phone.
(I'm spanish, sorry if there are some grammatical errors)
yes, i can see all the gradiants quite visibly on the S3, it is much better on my S1, my S1 also doesn't have those grey banding lines which are worse than the halo effect ....i hope the lines are just software or background issue
i still prefer amoled to LCD though, just those banding lines suck
Hi, ho have the same problem on my sgs2. It's not a screen problem, but a 16bit rendering. This rendering mode improves 3D graphics performances, but reduces display quality introducing: banding, dithering, color missmatch.
aha!
it seems that is the answer ....so how do we enable 24 bit rendering?
can't find any info on it ...or is it something that should not be changed?
i presume there would have been an option on the phone if it was ok to do without too much performance degradation
Having read tons and tons of nightmares about the GN screens and now some of the GS3, I wouldn't know where to ask this
But quite simply put, I love my s3. The screen is perfect....in the phone
I thought where they put some browns I.e. in the dialer etc was weird. But it was right as it was right next to a black
However I tried a black wall with the Nexus X on the lockscreen
The screen looks brown a little. I am thinking it has something to do with the science behind the water and the lock screen....although I Know nothing about that
Might someone explain or give me a piece of mind. I dont know if its worth all that if only on the lock screen
I
I'm confused.

I *think* he's asking if the S3 displays black as pure black on the lock screen, as he thinks there was a problem with that on the Nexus. Inside he thinks the blacks are true black, but is concerned about the lock screen.
I think he's wondering if the water (ripple effect??) might have something to do with the blacks showing up a bit lighter (looking brown).
-------------------------
To the OP:
I'm not using the Touchwiz lock screen, so I can't say how it looks there, but the black background in my wallpaper is black using Widget Locker.
I noticed the Lockscreen didnt like dark wallpapers. Here is an example of when I switched to a dark wall.

It turns out the lockscreen ripple effect was the culprit so disabling that option made the wallpaper look like it should.
Not sure if thats what you meant with your op as it was a bit confusing.
This is something I didnt expect or not sure if only my set is affected , can pplout there compare their Z2 with the stores / Demo sets or other to see if the whites are slight yellowish ( I know you can cure it with little tweaks ) but without any tweaks anyone ?
Here is a sample pic I took with my ultra of the demo and my set
edit : I have checked the other color reproduction and they are absolutely fine no problems its only the whites..

Holy **** i thought your white Z2 is staining based on the title
I think I might have a similar issue, my whites don't look as good as they do on my Z1 I think it might be the screen protector I've put on so I've ordered different ones to make sure its not the protectors.
I have this too.
I think it's normal. Screen tech and calibrations are different - so tweak the white balance settings to your taste. You can also check my second post at this thread

I've taken some photo's you notice the difference more when you're on the settings menu.
