I have a LG Optimus L9 P679 and I just bought the display screen because the other one is broken and I installed the screen but i can't see anything only if I go to the sun light I can see my screen but it looks really dark so is hard to see I out the brightness in 100% but I still the same so I was wondering who can tell me what's wrong with my phone?
I received a refurbished lg g2 ls980 , and the screen looks wired compared to my other g2 d802,it's full of small boxs. Is it the normal ls980 screen or it's yesterday a replacement screen ?
So far the screen perform good, colors, luminosity and view angles are the same compared to d802 but the boxs are visibles when screen is off, see the attached pictures.

Those "wires" are the touchscreen grid. Some phones have it more visible, some less. Probably different touchscreen than on original G2's.
What I noticed is if I put my screen on like 50-80% brightness and look at an completely white picture and focusing the color is not uniform but is slightly grainy or muddy, I had the phone for 2 days before noticing it.
I also have G6 and there I don't see it.
Its hardly noticable so not an "real" issue" but just wondering if it is normal or if I should send it back for replacement.
Also not only on white, but white its most easy to see.

I dont have this issue.. send IT Back.
Definitely send it back! Non-uniform screens are a "characteristic" of LG's manufacturing process. Ins simple terms, it's basically Russian Roulette when it comes to getting a decent screen. Just about all screens are going to have this issue to some degree. The key is to get one that this only shows at brightness around 10% and less only.
Just went to an shop where they have it on display, i would say that unit in shop was much better. Im just gonna return it and get money back. The strange thing is that it was only 1 month ago it was manufactured so a really new phone.

LG doesn't consider it an issue so they won't fix something they don't consider a problem. This issue will continue to plague all versions of the V30, V30+, V30s ThinQ, etc.
I want V30 with IPS screen

That or the mLCD on the G7, but without the stupid notch! On the replacement I received, I am noticing the poor uniformity of the screen on 78% brightness with ease on black and grey backgrounds. Running a dark theme, it is really noticeable.
It's like LG is using an older OLED style. My Droid RAZR, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 6 and V30 all exhibited cloudiness, graininess, and banding on gray backgrounds. They all looked perfect on White, Black, Blue, Red, or Green, but gray looks grainy. I'm guessing that since most people use a completely white or black theme, they would never see the imperfections. I ended up getting a Pixel 2 XL which has a perfectly uniform screen, though the blue shift is slightly more noticeable than on the V30. My Note 8 has what I would consider a perfect screen and if you've ever had one, it's hard not to notice the uniformity of others isn't up to par.
The V30 has a great screen, and is perfectly usable, but depending on the theme you use and the brightness, gray backgrounds could be problematic.

I have a Note 8 sitting on my desk right now that I need to flash for my mother. I also have an S9 Plus as well. Definitely can't complain about Samsung's OLED's. If LG's was half as good as my S9 Plus, I wouldn't have anything to complain about.
Grey's are the bigger issue with the V30 but there are also screens that also have blue or pink shifts when viewing white backgrounds. I didn't have this issue on my last one and I am really disappointed that this one does. I don't use white background though so it isn't really as noticeable. I can see the difference in colors as well with this one. The top left corner and around it is much more dim in comparison to the bottom left corner. Whether viewing blues, greens, or reds. You can see it when the color is supposed to be a vibrant shade. I have seen some for sale on Swappa where I could see this in the pictures of the phone the seller was selling. I really like a lot of what the V30 has to offer but my S9 Plus has definitely spoiled me.
Hello. When I bought my LG V30, 2 months ago, i have notices like a underscreen bump, but it was rarely visible only on sunlight from some angle. But now, that bump developed a dark spot and a very bright light from the dot to the top edge of the screen (look at the images) . I'm sure that the screen is damaged, but is there any way at least to make that line darker or not so visible, without changing the screen? Thanks.
Just got the replacement for my first Mate 20 Pro, which suffered from the green screen issue and luckily it's a BOE screen that doesn't have this issue.
However it appears to me that surfaces have a slight sandpaper-like texture to them instead of being smooth (especially noticeable when using gboard or on grey and white areas).
By the way smart resolution is of course turned off, thought at first that this could be the reason.
what do you mean by sandpaper-like ? Is it the feeling of the screen or is it what it looks like to you when you look at green images?

It's nothing you can feel. It's a visible grainy structure especially noticeable on single coloured surfaces. Kinda reminds me of the issues with the pixel 2 back in the days.
I have a BOE display and have looked tirelessly to see if I could notice this and nope it's just not there for me....
I've just had a replacement BOE phone delivered today, can't see any graininess to it, but the screen is not as bright as the LG one. Side by side the BOE whites are noticeably greyer. Suppose its a trade off, greyer screen vs green bleed

Ok thanks for the info. So it seems like I have to return m mate again and hope for either a working lg (getting hit by a lightning on a sunny day seems more likely) or a boe panel that ism affected (luckily my issue seems to be isolated).

Strangest thing, I checked last night the white on BOE seems definitely more greyish but this morning in the sunlight its the other way round. Maybe I'm just being too picky. If I didn't have the next to each other to compare I would never had notice the difference. My wife has the same phone and her screen seems to be a different shade on the white too.
I think I would keep the BOE if I have to choose. I always think about the resale

Same here, got a BOE screen and the whites are indeed greyish (not as bright as my previous LG screen) and the screen is not as sharp.

My screen is BOE and what I can note in comparation with my S9 is that in the Mate i can see the digitalizer... in the S9 no...
Sometimes if I try to see it very hard...i can see little points from the digitalizer.
don´t know if in the LG screen is the same thing...
But my screen is brighter then my S9. Colors are very good too and resolution...
but i definitely can see the digitalizer..
Some comparations between bu Samsung S9 and the BOE screen of Mate:
