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?

I have a black spots on the screen I only see on a dark Rom and full Black wallpaper it's normal amoled screens ???

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 ....
ok,so I decided to get an S3 after a long confusion between it and the gnex but I'm still not sure which color should I get.I've seen both colors in reality and surprisingly,they both look much better in real life than in pics.I like both but I want to get the white 1 for a change since I never had a white phone.I'm just wondering if anyone with a white S3 got any problems with it like color fading/scratches on the brushed metal sides/button light or notification-LED bleeding into the screen or any other problems.
IDK about the white since i dont have one, but im sure as heck no one complains about the blue : D
Yeah, it isn't blue....
Seriously though, I own both colours. There is no noticeable difference in how they work, its just the colour... Get your preference...
There are many colours to choose now.

I got the white because I can't wait for anything, wasn't that keen to start with but now I'm really happy with it. I think it looks a quite classy now. I think I even prefer it over the blue... sorry blue fans :laugh:
i'm on white my only complain is the touch keys it leaks speacially at night it's very bright

My first white phone ... love it. It looks good and even the white glow from the capacitive keys I think is a nice touch whether it be on purpose or not. I dig it.

Just to be clear so there is no confusion for the OP. The "bleeding" is not into the screen its self but into where its white around the screen. And like Coreym said, it adds to the phone IMO, makes the whole white bezel glow. Not a problem for me.

Loads of colors now available but I think white is the classy choice
OK,it seems that there aren't any problems with it except the button bleed(which doesn't bleed into the screen) but I can just disable the lights,or keep it cuz I might like it Thanks all,can't wait to get my hands on it
I bought the white yesterday. I'm loving it (except for the massive battery drain, it's the same as mi iPhone 3G).
Didn't like the blue colour, so went for the white. It's gorgeous.

No real problems at all with the white, and I think the blue with the curved edges do make it look a little too cheap for my liking, especially on the back cover.

I disabled the lights too, every 3 seconds they went off... very annoying.
I have blue, my partner has white. Personally the white one looks cheaper with the back light of the soft buttons shining outside of the button stencil, but it sure as hell is sexy as fook.

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.
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

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:
I always heard that Amoled displays have perfect blacks with no grey color, but when I use my phone in the dark the blacks still posses a soft grey tint with them. Why does that happen?
For pure black, the pixels are off. You're either not looking at pure black or what you're seeing is the colour and reflection of the screen

In theory , Yes, as RootSU mentioned, but the problem is there is something called "screen mode " or Color calibration, for easier understanding.
If you ever used Galaxy Nexus, then you know there is color calibration for the Super Amoled screen, but the problem is, it is very very very HARD to configure the pure black.
As far as I know, galaxy S3 doesn't have color calibration as I mentioned in Galaxy Nexus expect Perseus kernel but I don't think there is any one who is "boring " to do such configuration to display pure black as it may be useless through it could be interesting...

As you can read in screen tests, the GS3 has almost perfect blacks with a value of somewhere around 0,0010. So that's why you're noticing a greyish tint.

Also I forgot to tell you when I compared the amoled display to an LCD (iphone 5) I noticed at high brightness the s3 easily beats it up, but at low brightness the s3 display gets close to that of the iphone's or a bit worse (I'm not so sure about this I'm not too good when it comes to display tech).
