I think mine has a little bit uneven white. It looks a bit yellowish on the bottom (by soft buttons) and a bit gray on top right. It's barely visible and you can only see it under daylight (5000-6500K). It doesn't affect other color.
Is it considered defective?
In addition, how can I check the manufacturer of the screen?
check it in service test software lcm

Hi Guys - great phone which I've had a week or so now. Upgraded from the first Galaxy S.
Now I must admit to having very good eyesight (sometimes wish I couldn't see finer details!) and..
On white / grey images (download the various screen test apps to have a look for yourself)
The screen, when on a low brightness, is "muddy" and demonstrates a few vertical darker lines on the screen with mine showing quite a prominent one in the bottom right heading up about half way up the screen.
This is mostly visible when the brightness is at a minimum (regardless of auto or the powersaving options)
When the brightness is turned up it is barely visible, if at all... looks fantastic..
But.. at this point I preferred the screen on the Galaxy S which, when dimmed was more vibrant and didn't have this "problem"
Hands up who can see what I see? Any darker lines visible on your white / grey backgrounds? a side effect of this new subpixel arrangement? totally normal? some pixels not as bright in a row hence darker lines?
What do you guys think?
Cheers, B

Could you take a pic or something?
ASAP yes (no camera ironically so will have to ask a colleague!)
hold menu and press power button for screenshot off the device.
Yeah, mine set to minimum brightness and has some line artifacts like when LCD supplied with low voltage. (low brightness setting)
Easily noticeable when displaying grey colors.
I'm also using Screen Filter app, setting brightness even lower, some black points around 0.3cm is exposed at night.
Not sure those points are affected by anti-scratch film though.
Hola
I can confirm that I see the same "line banding" effect when using the device with low brightness. Like others have mentioned I also use the free Screen Filter app to get even lower brightness levels especially when reading stuff in bed in the near dark.
I would think this is a side issue with having the Super AMOLED Plus type screen but I guess only a Samsung tech can confirm.

65" long exposure exposing some black spots.(digitally enhanced)
Lowest brightness + Highest brightness.
Wondering those spots are caused by screen protector or defective screen or limitation of current AMOLED's.
You can see there is some current leak.(It should be bezel-like black if it is ideally off)

Not sure I understand you cpu98!
Is there a consensus we all have this "problem" - i'm on the verge of taking it back for a refund and "monitoring things"
Anyone understand the tech / spoken to Samsung?

Not sure what those black spots are... is your camera messed up? There's spots on the right even off the phone...
Also yes, pure black for SAMOLED still produces SOME light, but it's almost indistinguishable to the human eye.
Take a picture of a dark grey image on low brightness and it should show the bands the best...

That spot off the phone is on the wall not defective cam. As you can see photos are taken at different angle. And it is visible in naked eye.
Yeah I like its screen very much. That black issues are no problem in real use.
I'm very satisfied.
The photo below is an image of my phone displaying a light grey image in a dark room. The yellow tinted gradient on the left hand side is very apparent, but that is not what bothers me so much. If you carefully notice the area demarcated inside the red box, you will notice a horizontal band that is of a slightly darker grey. Is this a burn in? I have only had this handset for a couple of days, so I can't see how I'm already being affected by this phenomenon. One can also see how uneven the display is, overall.
Damn I saw your other post, seems like you were the unlucky guy who got the screwed up handset in the batch. Mine had a really faint tint on the left side which has now disappeared
Just go and exchange it. You will be much happier!
haha. ya, seems like I got the lemon of all lemons. Lets hope the replacement is ok.
Hello to all
As the title says it's another screen defect that this phone have
I have noticed a darker area, which make almost a perfect rectangular shape upper to left of the screen and it is visible only in some circumstances
- screen brightness need to be lower that maximum (the lower it is the higher this defect is visible)
- mostly visible on grey image (for example the market startup) see other images in the links

not visible at all on black screen of course but when the screen is off and with a bright light (sunlight of a power lamp) in some right angles I can see some darker dots (looks to be some kind of liquid inside the screen) at the size of 5mm and also this rectangular shape (good eyes need here ) no picture for this because it is not visible with any camera
I wonder how came to this and is any possibilities to fix this such as those screen burners, could these help? or only a screen replacement?
PS: phone have no waranty
Thanks
Screen burns are permanent on AMOLED as far as I know. You'll either have to live with that or do a costly screen replacement.
Ah well, guess I have to live with it, not a major problem but it's looks a bit ugly sometimes.
Just read a bit more about amoled screen burn and it seems that the blue leds are the most that probably get weaker in time and causing this screen burn, and yes this is an explanation why on a blue screen this is almost not visible no mather of the screen brightness
Maybe burn all the screen with a white image, but I believe the result can be worst that this
Thanks
I just purchased a new Xperia Z2 (D6503), everything worked fine.
But I noticed there is a tiny bright light/spot looks like this "-", about 1-2 mm long, located at the left corner of the bottom bezel (which is all black) on the front screen. It is most noticeable when the screen is on. When the screen is off, this tiny light is also off, just looks grey.
I wondered what this light is for , and found no results in the user manual. I searched Z2 phone pictures online and all the bottom bezel on those phone looked whole black without any light. So i'm worried if my screen is defective.
Please help me check if you have the same light on the bottom left corner of the bezel.
Thank you!

I'm new to this phone too, but I don't have anything like you describe. I think you may have a faulty device.
Maybe damaged pixel? Not sure, but I'm sure it is faulty hardware, take it to Sony for warranty repairs.

Is it on the display or off the display?
That wasnt clear to me?

off the display , in the black bezel region at the bottom of the front of the phone.
It is most likely a manufacturing defect where the the bezel was scratched on the back side. This causes light from the backlight to bleed through the glass when the display is turned on. Sorry OP, maybe try to exchange it?
I am not referring to the pink hue issue, rather my screen looks as though whites are dirty? Like there are some spots a lighter hue than the area next to them. It makes pure white look as though it is dirty.
It is most noticeable at lower brightness settings, and it appears to be noticeable on any lighter color as well, such as the quick settings light blue.
I am curious if this is just normal amoled unevenness, or if it is something wrong. I've tried to get a picture but I can't get it to show with the poor cameras I have.
