I'm using a clarivue screen protector and I like it a lot. The same quality and cheaper than brando's.
Now, I see the "Privacy Screen Protector for HTC Tytn". But I didn't understand the product overview:
- LCD Screen will appear black when turned off
- Privacy screen only allows you to view directly

But its already black when turned off, isn't it??
I'd like to test, but I don't want to spend my bucks in vain...
The link: http://www.clarivue.com/detail.asp?key=Screen_Protector_Privacy_Black_HTC_Tytn
I think the privacy screen is when you use your phone people nearby cannot see what's on your screen. Liek you have to be directly facing the screen to see it clearly.
If it is what you said, I think this screen protector is uselessness... At least for me...
I'd like some "non-reflexive" screen protector, cos I can't see anything on Tytn when the day is very clarity or the sun is direct on screen. Its very very boring... :\
maybe its for watching pr0n on the bus
I just wanted to let you know NOT to buy the new Touch HD privacy screen protectors.
They seem very good "on paper", however in reality it's a major disappointment. The privacy screen protector should reduce the viewing angle of your screen, making sure that people sitting next to you can't see the screen. This feature does in fact work up to a certain point, but the problem is that this screen protector reduces display quality so badly I consider it unusable.
Basically, the entire screen get's a very harsh rainbow color effect and some strange wavy lines that make your screen look like a 1995. CRT screen.
So, in short - avoid it.
I had a mirror screen protector turn up with a case I bought.
Applied it fine, then got the green and pink lines when looking through it, it actually became more clear the larger the angle I looked at it from!
The protector scratched really easily too, tried changing backlight brightness by dragging and I got a nice scratch. I wasn't pushing hard.
Nice idea, poor implementation.
I was thinking about getting something like that. How about some pictures? lol.
If it looks alright, I might swing for it from some other manufacturer because my friend has one on his iPhone and it's perfect.
I threw the protector away 5 minutes after trying it out. It's THAT bad.
As far as the iPhone goes, it's possible that it's not the same manufacturer. Also, it would seem that extremely high pixel density of Touch HD's screen could be linked to the way display get's messed up with rainbow effect.
Hey folks,
I'm looking to buy a used phone on ebay. The description says that the screen has a slight scratch on it that can't be seen when the phone is turned on...only when it's off. Having never had a scratch on any of my phone's screens, I can't easily verify that claim. Does this have the ring of truth to it?
If you've had a slight scratch on your screen, does it really only appear when the phone is off? What about when the screen is dim? Or what about at different angles, etc? Does it pretty much always just disappear?
Thanks

I have a few scratches in my screen that are really only visible from slight anez, when the screen is off,and when the screen is solid white
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I have super tiny (1/100 of a millimeter in width) ones that are only visible when the light (only direct sunlight) hits it just right, other than that I forget that they are even there
Probably from being placed in a pocket
Awesome. Thanks guys.

I even have a dent on the screen and it's barely visible when the LCD's on, so a hairy scratch that won't be noticed while the screen is on sounds like true
I had a small crack in my screen and I never noticed it while using the phone unless you really look for it, small scratch you will be fine won't even notice it
Is anybody have this issue? when I wearing a polarized sunglasses my screen look black. I had a Samsung S5 before and it was now problem with screen at all.

That's because this is an LCD screen, which has linear polarization vertically. Your s5 was amoled, which has circular polarization. So when you turn the phone on its side, the lines of polarization line up and it blocks out the screen. Any LCD screen will do this.

I agree. Polarized sunglasses are essential. (I'm an optician). Keeping the phone upright will let you still see the screen with sunglasses on. Unfprtunately, there's no way to correct it while looking at the screen in landscape. Just have to take the sunglasses off if you need to take a landscape photo or something. Its just how optics work.
I switched over to non-polarized glasses last year because so many of the phones these days would do this.

my note 3 has more reason to stay the backup then. my nav apps are on that and i have absolutely no desire to go non-polarized on my shades.
My Oakley polarized sunglasses don't affect the screen when viewed at portrait. Landscape it does black out as expected.
#sigh Oh well I guess...

It really does suck. I want the best of both worlds (freedom to choose whichever phone I want without worrying about polarization; Polarized sunglasses).
Coming from such an epic fail camera in my Sony Z Ultra to the v10 makes it that much more painful because I'd actually use it for things liike my mtb or running the dog on my rollerblades. Lol...
I just tested with my oakley's, never knew this was an issue with LCDs. Portrait mode I can see fine, then see the black out in landscape; however, if you really need/want landscape you can tilt/angle the phone to left/right slightly and then you can see the screen. Just can't keep it completely horizontal.

Would you know why iphone lcd displays don't have this issue? Aren't they lcd technology?
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
Iphone also uses IPS LCD, however, the horizontal polarization defect that is present in LG is not as noticeable due to Apple using a different (higher quality) polarizing film on Iphone.
However, that said, you can "fix" the issue on the V10 and the G4 by using a tempered glass screen protector. I have a generic one from amazon and the problem is 90% resolved.
Was thinking of trying a Tempered glass screen protector anyway, which one did you get or do you recommend? Thanks
spigen glass from amazon.com

Are you saying the Spigen glass rectifies the polarization issue, or you just giving a general recommendation?

The tempered glass protectors seem to help. It still goes darker, but not completely dark. Still usable for the most part.

I had someone with a CrApple iphone ask me to take their pic and I had my sunglasses on. I was able to see the screen and I think it just had a film on it. It's encouraging I suppose.

Been using a LG G3 for 2 yrs.....that has a LCD screen. (Also a Moto x Pure) Does not do this at all. I am using the same polarized sunglasses clips I have always used.
Had the same issue until I put a tempered glass screen protector on the phone. It's a little dim now but certainly legible.

Hi, I got the LG v30 yesterday from T-Mobile and today i noticed that the all around the screen there is light bleed . Does anyone else have it. Check in the dim room.
Here is the youtube link for the video i did
You probably going to need to give us your definition of light bleed because I'm not seeing light bleed. I'm seeing the screen and reflections off of the metal trim.

Thats not a reflection the light bleeds all around the side es of the screen it between the screen and the metal.
I have it but the phone is so thin, I kind of expected it. It doesn't take away from the device in any way for me.
Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk.
I got my phone to do it finally. I had to shut off all the lights and turn the brightness up way beyond the point I'd ever actually use it at in such a situation. It's not really light bleed per se. The screen extends further and is masked to make the aspect ratio but the mask isn't taken as far out as they could have. Or they might have been able to. I'd have to go back and look at the tear down to see what's going on.
In my case the light bleed is just on the right hand side of the screen. I made a video of it here:
https://youtu.be/Q_XXkZnC-9Y
It's visible in any situation with low light. Even in a restaurant at night.

How high is your screen brightness ?
put on a case, problem solved.
I have it as well. I would call it clouding not bleed though. It's not a bright light leak on the edges of the screen. It's light clouding through out the screen on black when it's black.
Well I have it too. The glass of the screen have little gap between frame on the left side.
Got it on both sides, but not bothered as I haven't noticed it until just now. It's only visible when viewing the device from the back/sides at angles damn near approaching 90°. Not sure about the rest of you, but I don't view my screen from such angles, so for me it's a non-issue. I think it actually looks kinda cool when you look at it when scrolling through a vertical app drawer... feel like I'm in a Mass Effect elevator or something.

The second reply is very informative just in general
It depends on how visible they are with normal vision. Your camera is significantly overexposing the problem (unless your pointer normally looks like the glaring sun, in which case you have bigger problems). The CFG70's I've had looked bad with the phone camera I had at the time I took the pictures. I don't trust camera shots to represent what the screen looks like in reality unless taken by a credible reviewer anymore. Also, you should use a solid black image without a super white pointer the screen is illuminating to give a more correct representation of the back light bleed; the three spots around the pointer look far worse than the rest of the screen, and that could be the fault of the pointer.
Very probably you have the brightness at max on standard response. These monitors are far brighter at max than many other monitors out there.
400+ cd/m^2 is very bright and most people who calibrate their displays turn them down to around 120 cd/m^2 to make them easier on the eyes. I don't agree with doing this on a media screen though as the brightness helps the image a lot in movies and games. Turn the brightness down to something reasonable and most of your problem will probably go away if that is an acceptable solution to you. Also strobing should reduce the brightness and the problem as well if you're willing to live with it on.
I feel for people who can't just return to the vendor. I would try to make it tolerable with some of the above efforts, and if that's the only problem you have with the screen, I'd probably keep it. If you can see the bleed with the naked eye without a camera while watching movies or playing games, I'd consider returning it, but understand that every CFG70 I've had looked similar when overexposed on a phone camera.

Camera pointed at a black screen IS going to over expose. That is normal. Photos must be adjusted so it looks as you see it

IF it doesn't fail IP68, put a case on it. Problem solved. You won't see the so-called light bleed.
You want case on this anyway to protect the glass back.
I recommend this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74857344&postcount=191
but the first post in that thread has links to very inexpensive cases that will work.
I bought about a dozen case, in all price ranges, and like the Tudia the best.
The gap won't be an issue for the water and dust rating. It looks like it is just the mask they put behind the glass didn't go all the way to the frame while the screen extends further than what should be visible.

What i wanted to say is there cannot be a gap if the v30 has an ip68 rating. No way for water to enter

Hah, most people look at the photo and go ZOMG!
adjusting exposure to match the way it appears is necessary provided whatever camera used allows for it

Right. There's no real gap. It's just the black masking of the curved glass edge is not dark enough sometimes.
I always use a case on my phone, so I don't even bother standing in the dark trying to find alleged "light bleed". That's not how I use a phone (without a case), so no use trying to find an issue that has no real world substance for me.
(IF there is a gap, and it fails IP68, then of course return it under warranty.)

Hey folks.
I don't think it's a problem It's not actually a gap between glass and phone frame. It's not even actually a leak.
In fact glass has it's thickness, and edge of the glass pane is exposed over the frame. In this conditions glass starts to behave similarly to optic fiber. So part of the light emitted by the display is not let through the glass and starts to bounce between glass edges (inside the glass pane), to eventually become visible on the edge of the screen. If You look closely it's uniform thickness light, and visible in parts where on the edge of screen is something bright with bright color.
So be not afraid, nothing bad is happening here
