Hello!
I've read that there are two display manufacturers tianma and huaxing So which is the better one and how can I tell before buying the device?
From what ive read from a 9s/pro facebook group, most of the screen bleeding issues is with huaxing panel. I personally have tianma display, it has no bleeding and retention (as of now) but it does have some shadowing around the notch. And you cant tell what display you will have have unless you opened and checked it through engineering mode, its most likely a lottery really.
How exactly can I check which panel my phone have?
Checking the LCD manufacturer:

...but Redmi Note 9 Pro is not showing the LCD manufacturer there.
I have huaxing panel with no issues. There's no bleeding even if I put my screen on black. But thanks for asking!
My phone has a huaxing screen too, and I have no issues.
Sometimes I have the feeling people are SEARCHING for something the can hate on a phone...

Better to know it beforehand than to cry about it later.
If only your display misbehaves, you'd feel the real pain of getting a faulty display of previous Redmi and Poco F1 owners :crying:
My Redmi Note 7 had Tianma panel and it was really bad... Keyboard with lag and a lot of screen retention/burn. Now my Redmi Note 9 Pro (max, 6/64, 64 megapixels) have Huaxing and that problems are not present, by the moment.
But in YouTube you can see many videos with redmi Note 9 pro speaking about burn ins, ghost touches, etc. Typical tianma disease. For now maybe not many (?) users get this problems, but how these screens behave over time? Is screen from Indian unit (9 pro) different then from global (9s)? I can see more Indians completing. And trust me, they don't complain without good reason
I have one week to decide either to buy this phone or not. I would really like to believe that everything will be fine etc, but I've almost lost the hope

hello people, i bought grey RN3 in May/June from Amazon.in but it had this weird dark area in the bottom right of the screen (pics attached), it was very annoying, I think its some kind of backlight/lcd liquid defect, i replaced it immediately, but the replacement unit had also have a smaller dark area in the bottom left side so i refunded because i was fed up of replacing again and again.
i wanted to buy something of better quality. but there are still nothing better under 20k/300$ than RN3, and many people don't have this kind of screen issue.
So if you recently bought RN3 (especially grey coz it has tianma lcd panel, other variants have sharp/boe), please inspect the screen and confirm if your unit has this defect or not, if possible kindly take pics of screen with a white background like i did. Thank you!
Redmi Note 3 3/32, dark gray, boe screen, atmel touch, date on box 2016.07
it's perfectly white (it may doesn't look perfectly white on image, but trust me, it is)
from which site you bought it on, yours is probably made in China. Indian units are made in India now, these Indian factories are new so quality control is meh. also Boe/Sharp are better than tianma
I bought it from Polish importer and yes, this device has been made in China for sure.
---------- Post added at 13:18 ---------- Previous post was at 13:13 ----------
But I noticed strange glow, in the bottom of the screen, when the backlight of the touch buttons is on, so I turned it off. Try it too.
I turned off button backlight and then clicked these pics, I no longer have the device coz I refunded it in June
Atmel/BOE touch screen, and no issues with screen other than there is a very minor light bleed at the top which I can really only see in a dark room with a black background on the phone.
Ordered from Geekbuying end of August.
Dude, if you don't want to buy RN3 again, then Galaxy On8 (Edit: Not On7 2016, sorry) with SD625, 3GB RAM, 32GB ROM, FP on front, f/1.9 13MP camera and 1080p AMOLED display (india specific) will be a good option below 20k. Just wait for it to be relased in India. First Samsung beast phone below 20k. Only downside of it's compared to RN3 is little bit lower processor, but SD625 is a good processor too. Also, On8 has way more better camera and better metal body design compared to RN3. Just a friendly suggestion. Don't bite me Xiaomi fans. I'm a RN3 user talking.
Yeah but my main concern is development, samsung phones doesn't get good xda support roms/kernels unless it's S or note series, can't live without CM/aosp based roms and definitely won't like using touch**** ui. and btw on7 16 has tft screen not amoled
Oh, this is right that Samsung phones don't get development. What a bummer.
About On7 2016 having TFT - No, I was actually talking about On8 releasing in India on first week of october. It has AMOLED.
Yeah on8, considering dev support i only have 2 options, rn3 or g4+. g4+ has a good screen but not very impressive as whole, only if it had better build, 625/650 and bigger battery...*sigh*
also if Xiaomi had gone with a better display and gorilla glass, rn3 would be perfect.
i cant see the dark thing you are talking about in your screenshots, there is very little shady affect at the bottom, which is in MIUI itself, and comes only when you are in some sort of lists, otherwise its fine, I recently purchased dark grey variant.. and its absolutely fine, it has tianma panel. I dont know what is source of your info, but i have used all three variant of RN3, and the dark grey variant has most vibrant and beautiful display, it has better vewing experience than other too..
This is what I wanted to know if recent units have this problem or not, it's dull in the pics but it was very difficult to ignore when seen live, it's only on the bottom right or left, which makes it a hardware issue.
which site you bought it from and which month?
Can you tell me which site you bought it from and which month?
Hi All,
I've preordered M10Pro, expecting delivery middle of this months but am still wondering if I've made a right decision. I have never used a phone with amoled as my daily driver. I drive a car quite a bit, using google maps for around 1h daily plus every 1-2 weeks for at least 5-6 hours a single day. Additionally I am pretty used to now using AOD (LG G6), it's not clear if AOD on M10Pro is changing its position in order to prevent burn in so these to plus navigation bar drives my crazy when I think I could spend considerable amount of money on a phone which will get burn in after a few months.
Unfortunately regular M10 won't be available on my market and I do not want to order outside as I am used to having my devices covered by 24 months guarantee.
What are your experiences with amoled? What are you feeling when it comes to burn-in and M10Pro? Should I be even bothered?
Thanks

i choose the Mate 10 6+128GB!
I know that for some of you there may be an option to choose between 10 and 10pro but for me, when I want to have a full guarantee locally options are -to buy 10 pro with amoled or to buy from competition which does not have amoled, so basically htc, which to me is not a real alternative
As per android central review on YouTube out today, after "several weeks" of usage he had no burn in issue for the Mate10 pro.

Will watch it straight away. Hope it clears all my doubts.
It will burn in eventually. It's a reality with AMOLED. May be sooner, may be later, as each screen is different but it will happen. This is why I really try to avoid AMOLED. I prefer peace of mind over a more saturated screen.
Not to mention I've never heard of the company supplying Huawei with their AMOLED screens. If I have to get one, it'd probably be a Samsung.
Not sure why LCD has so much hate. It's perfect on my Mate 10 and with HDR videos it's stunning. No worries about burn in too.

I have seen the AOD on the Mate 10 pro in different locations, so i understand it will be moving about.
And navigation is not static, so maybe it won't be an issue ?
Everyone is going oled whether its LG, Apple, Pixel 2 and OnePlus. And there is that BOE manufacturer ready to bring out their oled as well and so will be seeing oleds even more. Apple and others know that oled is prone to burn in and yet saw it as fit to use on their important iphone x, which means the probability is low and depends on a certain harsh usage.
If Huawei covers warranty for a burn in it would be reassuring though. Personally, i don't use my phone in max brightness and prolonged periods with a static image. And i use the auto brightness most of the time. I haven't had a problem with my oled on the P9 plus after 1.5 years of usage.
Every big player will get Amoleds to their phone....
Why? Because of money and bussiness....
Why to make a perfect phone that will last for 3 years without a problem.
They need more to sell...... I would buy a mate 10 pro if there would be a ips display.... oled no....
I had a lcd once, on a sony : I hated it. I always had oled screens, and never had any burn-in problem (I keep my phones for 2 years usually) and I also use google map a lot>
I have now had my Mate 10 Pro for about 2 months and i am absolutly loving it.
I can confirm that the AOD is moving around, so nothing to worry about there, and the screen itself is stunnig to look at.
Will i get burn-in over time? I don't know. But i really like the screen and the pictures it creates.

Now apple will stop production of iphone x and will made a model back with ips display because of burn in
Blotchy Black
Hi!
Is anybody experiencing a blotchy screen when you render plain black images? I noticed this in my stock gallery app, Netflix, and video player. It is noticeable in a very dark room. It bothers me since I know that when an OLED panel renders black color it turns off so no light is emitted. But in this case I see a blotchy black.
This "sooner or later", burn in is not how it works. I have a Galaxy S3 and a Note4 with zero burn in, even though I used both heavily for years. (Even for GPS, etc.),
The content matters. Like my sister had an S4 and it had Facebook Messenger burnt into the screen because she was chatting for so many hours.
And after she gave the phone to me just a few months back so I can sell it, the burn in went away after mixed use.
Tl;Dr: Burn in is more of a meme, it's more like retention. I mean the Mate10 Pro has on screen buttons but that's not a 100% chance that it will burn in.
Send it back and get a new one from Amazon. I saw this problem with the camera in white or clears walls. It seems "banding".
I acquired a second hand Mate 10 Pro 3 weeks ago (first owner bought it on the 24th of November), it already had burn-in zones: navigation dock button, Google Search, bottom system buttons bar and many other ones from various apps' icons... These zones are mostly noticeable on clear or white screen/pages (eg: about:blank URL in Chrome browser). At reception, I immediately selected a black theme and activated Battery's dark mode. Now I can see my own apps setup marking the screen... After only 3 weeks...
Am I the only one ?
I'm contacting Huawei customer service.
I finally went to Paris' Huawei customer care center. They told me they never saw/heard about such issue, hard to believe.
They kept my phone 24h and they replaced the full front part (including battery): they only keep the motherboard (can't say if it includes cameras' parts too).
They ensured me waterproofing should be the same. 200 meters after I left the building, I noticed a huge gap where the back plate should stick to the phone's body. So long for waterproofing I suppose.
I immediately went back, and in 10min they replaced the back cover for a brand new one; things are better, but after throrough look, I can see back cover is not perfectly glued... But hey, I have an almost brand new device now.
I took time to compare the demo devices they have, and the Mate 10 Pro had a burned-in screen too, quickly noticeable thanks to Chrome's about:blank URL
Hi,I'm thinking about buying a Pocophone F1,but after doing a lot of research I've come across some problems,mainly the screen bleeding issue and the touchscreen issue,I will be using the Pocophone mainly for playing games and media consumption so those issues are very important for me,so how widespread are those problems? It's just a minority or they're actually very common?
I can't buy the pocophone oficially in my country,only through aliexpress,so If I buy it and things don't work as they should I won't be able to just return it and get a refund,that's why it's very important for me to consider all the potential issues of a device,if you could help me I would be grateful.
I've bought it through AliExpress and I didn't have the issues.
Many have the issues you mentioned, but most don't.
Good luck and don't buy the indian version!
If the name on the backside is POCO = indian version.
If the name on the backside is Pocophone = rest of world.
Touchscreen is real for me . Specially scrolling . Never noticed any kind of screen bleeding in my device

What is your scrolling issue ? Also that is laggy/not always picking it up ?
I notice "something" about the screen aswell, still contemplating in sending it back....
Yeah, the screen bleed issue is not that noticable. My gf use OPPO F5, it also has screen bleed if you look for it. The touchscreen issue is real, but I don't notice any scrolling lag. The only issue is the edges of the screen is not as sensitive as the center.
Performance and battery is excellent. I really want OIS Camera and NFC, but hey it's a $300 device with SD845.

I wish I had done more research like you before falling for the low price. I have had to replace my POCO with a different company's phone now.
does the new batches fix the touch issue?

So, I have been seeing many reviewers commenting potential display quality issues, mainly screen bleeding all the way around the screen and punch hole.
I know it can be considered as normal for IPS LCD screens, but many say it's really noticeable and can be annoying. Also, pretty low brightness is reported as under-average.
It seems, according to what I have seen and read, that display is downgrade from Redmi Note 8 Pro, which has pretty good display, no screen bleeding and decent brightness.
So, those who have Note 9 Pro (9S), have you experienced this issues, is it a general thing, or maybe it's just some batch in question.
I really would like to buy a phone, but I wont take a bellow average display as compromise.

Not confirmed from my side,no visible bleed around the camera hole. I was asking myself about this reported claim.
Display is good for me and can easily compete with my old MI9T.
I don't regret buying this phone.
I was hoping to hear that, because I've also saw people commenting that their units are free of any kind of screen issues.
But it seems some batch of phones is impacted by this issue.

Mine is perfect. Don't listen to Frankie from Frankie Tech on YouTube. He's full of $hit.
Mine is fine. Nothing noticeable. ??
Mine is two weeks old and absolutely fine. I have yet to notice light bleed (should I have, or would I need to look for it?) and there's no display retention issues.
I notice the faded color around the screen, im thinking on a return. But dont know if its normal, cause cant notice on some apps even at max brightness. Just got the phone on Sunday
Hi there, I am using 6/64 GB variant POCO F1 for one and a half years recently I noticed problem like screen burning, on my display. If I use any app for 5 to 10 mins I see a shadow of the same app for 20-30 mins behind the screen. It is more clearly visible in dark mode or dark grey background.
Is there, anyone facing the same issue or knows whether it is a software issue or there is something wrong with the LCD panel? And if its a hardware issue where in India can I change my LCD panel for a good price with good quality?
I posting the Pictures of Screen shadow below, please check it out.

It's a hardware issue. Have an issue like that too. It happens intermittently, but isn't really an issue for me anyway because when I switch to another app it's not too noticeable. Usually happens when I read manga since the screen is mostly white, then there's artifacts for a while then is barely noticeable.
As to where you can get it fixed in your country, sorry I'm not from India so I don't know. But if there's a Xiaomi store/service center they should be able to help you
You can greatly reduce that effect on stock MIUI by going to Display > Color Scheme and change it from Automatic to Standard. Been having the same issue for about 8 months (my device is 18 months old), other than that, haven't had any other display problems, so there isn't much of a reason to replace the lcd pannel (unless you're still under warranty).
Had the same issue with a replacement screen, but after some time i decided that it bothered me too much, so i decided to replace the screen again, and now everything is fine.

what was the cost of screen replacement and did you replace the screen in MI service center or in a local shop?
Well i was able to fix it by using lawrun oc build i implemented the amoled color option and i don't have to suffer from this problem anymore.
