horizontal stripes from any dark images and text
Likely either a blown display or mobo.
Was it dropped or exposed to water?
Use ScreenTest to further examine the display... to get a better idea of what it's doing.

the smartphone is new, nothing happened, otherwise everything is fine, except for the banding
This is the first time I see such artifacts, only horizontally, will it be possible to pass it under warranty?
Return it.

Even more likely just Sony's notorious quality control issue.
Wait! They calibrates each single mark 3 display individually isn't it? .
I really think this is just effect of their personal screen calibration of each unit.
Or a side effect haha!
Now we know it was just marketing bull...

The lines go from the black edges of the images, in the photo after the black lines from the image there are lines further on the entire display, most noticeable on a dark background

If it's just happening to some images, it's most certainly corrupted image data, not the display itself. What if you open the image in other devices?

Hi guys,
Can please somebody test for me if have similar issue as me...
I noticed that the grey on SGS2 suffers a lot in quality... more visible on reduced light.
I did create a file in Photoshop with fixed grey value.. as you can see from the screenshot attached sgs2 goes more magenta instead of grey+ plus there is a lot of noise too around this value R 100 G 100 B 100
As far as i know the grey is the most difficult color to display because needs to use all 3 leds in the same time...
Anyhow pls let me know if u also have distorted results as me!
Thank you
Yeah, my icons definitely look darker and has a redder tint to them side by side with the SGS. I've been informed that it has to do with Gingerbread as well, about how Gingerbread hosed up the colors.
I have exactly the same problem. All greys look pink / magenta. I am right now trying to replace my unit because of it.

Why replace it? It's not a fault with the phone. Your next unit will be exactly the same.
Mine looks grey. No pink tint

Except it isn't, as I don't suffer from it at all regardless of the brightness and background effect.
same here: no pink/magenta on the testpic. looks exactly the same as with my computer monitor.
that is very sad news, seems i need to change my device....
Carnt open that file ..
How do i test?.

the file test it is in a zip file, you need winzip or winrar to extract the file, after that you can copy to your device and view it...
Also, i made the test on another sgs2 device and they grey is as is supposed to be...
Do we think is a software or hardware problem this is the question?

I hate to say it but I suspect it's a hardware fault with some individual panels, although whether Samsung would view it as a fault is another matter. These screens are incredibly difficult to make and almost impossible to make every one identically, so it's inevitable some will be less than perfect even if that imperfection is only noticeable in certain circumstances (a grey screen in this case). There is another thread on here with someone having a yellowish hue line down the left of their screen when the screen is a certain colour -- another example of a similar issue.
Found it. Check the post out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13861159&postcount=12
if that is the case, a lot of devices will go back... first sgs software was horrible, now sgs2 hardware? damn it samgung u`ve done it again!
Yep, nothing wrong with mine either using that greyscale test image.
Imagine its a bad batch of SGS2's out there somewhere.
Mine is grey, like the SGS pic in the Op I know what teh pink looks like as my Desire AMOLED version was pinked
Those with clean gray, can you please post what firmware/baseband version are u using?

While watching a video, I noticed that in the top right corner of my screen there is a dead pixel. You can't notice it unless you look at the spot....so I don't think I'll try to exchange the phone.
After doing some searching, I couldn't find an app that fit the whole screen that fixes dead pixels but I did find a video on YouTube that may fix the dead pixel and runs in full screen.
Here is the YouTube video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvI0ZUPpdJI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Does anyone know how long are you supposed to run this for ? I don't want to damage the rest of the screen by running this too long.
Thanks for the new thread!

FYI, there is an app that will allow you to test for dead pixels. http://goo.gl/o8HXB
It'll start as a white screen. Just keep tapping the screen and it will cycle through multiple colors the sane as that google video you posted above.

Running stock firmware on a ZenWatch 2 Wren. Day one the phone was weird with some ASUS watchfaces. Sometimes AMOLED black would be red/purple instead of black. Only fix was turning up the brightness, oddly enough. I've used the options in developer settings, changed the DPI via adb, etc. AoD just looks red now and I've read every solution I found. Any thoughts?
No, its a hardware thing.

Hi ...I got Xperia X (f5122) few days back & on the second day I noticed a weird light on the screen of my phone .There are two large spots at the bottom where the gaps are.I am attaching pictures here.
This is very frustrating and distractive even in daylight I can see this light coming off screen .Notice the area where the ' Back ' & 'recent ' keys are.
I haven't see this kind of light bleed on my previous Sony devices.This is easily noticeable even i don't look at it & execpt it's on 10 % or lower brightness.
May I request anyone from SONY to confirm this as manfacture defect or some issue with my device as this isn't a standard of a product ?
And anybody elese facing this issue please attach your pictures and do tell whether your Xperia X has it or not?
It will be very useful to me.

Are you sure this is bleed? Reminds me a lot of some pressure marks I got on my laptop lcd. And it's definitely a defect it seems like noone else has this issue. Did you in fact ever put excessive pressure on the phone?

Excessive pressure ! Hell no! 1st day I got the device ;it was sealed pack ,set the device through setup guide ,charged it to 100% .and made sure that wifi was working because I need that and one 2nd day in morning I started disabling pre-installed apps and I noticed this.
I had atleast 9 Sony devices before & I don't remember having this issue.
Thanks for quick reply.
I am just curious because bleed is ( or whatever it is ) exact on back and recent key and they look organized ! lol ! So want to confirm from XPERIA X users do they have it on exact same spot.?
I am getting your point but do you have Xperia X & can you post a picture of it?
Set brightness 80% or more then dial *#*#7378423#*#* on phonepad -go to service test-display-click until u get black screen.Notice & post a picture if you can.

4)Go to ' SERVICE TEST " - DISPLAY -click screen until you get black one and see if there are unusual lights coming out from anywhere .
Post a pic here ,please it would be helpful to me.
DON'T DO THIS ON DEFAULT OR CURRENT BRIGHTNESS WHICH YOU HAVE ; INSTEAD SET IT TO 100%. THEN DO THIS .
