Screen white balance? - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My G4 is just right under 5000 Kelvin.
I see some floor models are too blue.
However, when I tried V10 floor model at T-Mobile corp store, I noticed it's pretty yellowish.
How is yours compared with G4 or G Stylo?

hi, i confirm you that the v10 is pretty yellowish compared to the g4.
I'm pretty disapponted with that
I've installed this app and it works quite well, but it's just a workaround.
The real fix could be done with the root and the kernel rgb tuning, but so far it's not possibile.

[Q] LED problem (white light problem)

Hey guys!
Picked up my s6 edge (gold) 64gb version from a reliance digital store here in India on the release day, April 10th. Immediately got a 250 odd mb of update n even did that! But there seems to be a problem with the RGB notification led on the top! All the colors seem to appear well except for white! It appears like a light blue/purple colored light! Anybody else has this problem? Or do any of u have a fix for this "glitch". Or should I get the hardware replaced?
Awaiting your expert advice! Thanks in advance!
Thats exactly the same thing which i noticed so far. Im not pretty sure but i will check it tomorrow:
When i got my hands on the gs6 edge and gs6 both next to each other before the release (maybe pre-production models) i compared both devices with the result, that the gs6 edge had the MUCH better whitepoint. Well it was a bit blueish, but on these both devices the general gs6 had a much greyer white tone.
But right now after i receaved my gs6 edge, the first thing i was noticing was, that it had a very bad whitepoint, almost like a sand tone. I directly went to the next electro market and compared my gs6 edge to the general gs6 shown there with the result, that my gs6 edge had the worser white point, so the opposite of the result on the pre production models.
And thats the same with all the youtube videos. On those youtube videos who had the chance to test the devices before the release, the gs6 edge had a better white, and on those videos with the devices after release it was the gs6 with the better white.
So its pretty weard, because im not sure if this is hardwarewise or softwarewise. ( BTW all my comparisons were with the same AMOLED CINEMA setting and same brightness.)

I'm buying the LG G5, How serious the Ghosting issue and other faults

hello,
I was gonna buy ZTE Axon 7. but the cam made me cancel the order.
So, i have seen some serious ghosting and burns of lg g5 even in the first months
Please reply:
I use g5 DXXX series 6XXK (production date)
I have the issues: X,Y and Z
or
I dont have the issues
Thanks
I just want to be sure my g5 wont be defective... i cant know the serial as well but amazon usually sells the latest batches
ATT LG G5, no issues. 3 months now.
International H850, bought in May (produced in April I think), absolutely no issues at all
H850 3 months serious issue. Going tomorrow to LG service to replace the screen.
International H850 - 4 months usage.
Burn-in is not an issue (had it for a couple of days, then vanished without a trace).
No major issues.
H850 sending it in for GPS and the uneven standard module. Forgot to mention the ghosting issue. Bought it in may so also a rather early one.
By ghosting do you mean when scrolling?
Its an issue, its worse with black text on white background where the text will blend in due to the white ghosting into the black, this is display lag.
On white text with black background its there but not as noticeable and I only notice it if looking for it.
i bought it on bhphotovideo. because 450+tax usd for lg g5,extra battery,cradle, VR goggles and cam plus was a win.
i m just gonna sell the VR lol
i hope my device wont have the issues.
when writing your issue please include the production date as well(first 3 digits of the serial no)

Rs988 lg g5 608k screen is not white but bluish

So hello, i got an lg g5 with a white spot on the right corner(when i first turned on the g5)...
I'm comparing my g5 608k (manufactured in 2016, 8th month) to g5 605 dual sim version...
The dual sim has a mild screen burning issue that is not severe at all. But the display is WHITE. I MEAN , it produces white color the way it should. However my g5 rs988, produces a bluish white. Just like my g3. I'm cursed...
This even happened to me with my old nokia device omg...
And the dual sim g5 is a bit brighter than mine.
I can't believe it. How is your screen making the white compared to other g5s?
Also, my device which is silver, the chin doesn't fit perfectly, on the other hand, dual sim one's chin just fits in there.
The g5 dual sim the screen is AMAZINGGGG
MINE SUCKSSSS
I bought it from bhphoto
Is there any way they sell refurbished?

How do you like the screen?

I had a perfectly fine LG V20 (5.7" screen) on Sprint. I just came home with a Samsung S9+ on Xfinity Mobile (Verizon) and am a little disappointed. The screen looks beautiful, but what the heck it's smaller than my LG V20! It's the same length, but it's smaller in width.
The curved edges are annoying and stupid. When you have YouTube on, part of the video goes around that curve and when outside there's a glare across the whole length of the screen where the curve is.
I'm gonna keep the phone because I wanted the latest Android and want to use Google DayDream.

I also came from a v20, which lagged horribly. When I got the case, I thought Amazon sent me a s9 case instead of the plus!
While the phone itself is slightly smaller, keep in mind there's less bezel, and the 5.7 vs 5.9 is measured diagonally. Before my v20, I had a Nexus 6 which was going from a 5.96 to 5.7 inch screen and honestly it was about the same size. Measuring diagonally is the key here.

I don't understand this post. Are you saying the screen looks smaller or actually is smaller? The s9+ screen is 6.2" so it is definitely bigger than the v20.
The screen is gorgeous but I agree about the curved edges. They are a terrible design that actually takes away from the screen experience.
Don't you think the curved edge can be a bit odd? Isn't it a form of visual distortion?
The curved edge doesn't bother me at all, and it allows the phone to be narrower, which makes it easier to hold on to. But no single phone or design is going to make everyone happy. If your only goal is to have Orea and Daydream, you'd be better off with a Pixel, I think.

The curved edge bothers me only because there's a line of glare all the way across the phone where the sun hits the curve. Otherwise it's not that big of a deal in everywhere else but my car. I can't get a Pixel. I have Xfinity Mobile (Verizon).. it's freakin free (as long as you have Xfinity internet service).

Yep it does look smaller. I just measured.. looks are deceiving I guess.
S9+: 2 5/8" wide x 5.5" tall
LG V20 (not counting that tiny second screen): 2 11/16" wide x 5.0" tall.
I just realized when I originally compared the two, I had the phones side by side to measure with the screen off.. I totally forgot about the tiny second screen on the LG V20, which when off, looks like it's one big screen. That's where I went wrong.

Hey I had a Nexus 6P also. Unfortunately I cracked the screen and tried to replace it myself. I bought the kit on eBay to replace it, which came with tools to open the case, which you had to heat up with a hair dryer. Holy crap was that hard to open and holy crap did I damage the appearance of the phone LOL.
My mistake was comparing the LG V20 and the S9+ with the screens off.. I forgot about the LG V20 second screen, so that's what made it appear larger.
I never had any issue with LG V20 lag, but maybe because I Dirty Santa rooted pretty soon after I got it. I then uninstalled a bunch of crap.

I Nad a Nexus 6 not a 6P. It hit EOL so I wanted to upgrade. Got the v20 and had lag issues after about a month. It was constantly out of ram, and ran hot all the time (which made the processor get throttled). Those issues could be solved running an AOSP based rom, but you lost 2nd screen support, and until fairly recently, the wide angle lens support on the front camera. The two very things that got me to buy the v20 in the first place. I was resetting my phone monthly and rebooting daily, sometimes more than once.
I will say my s9+ typically sits at 1-1.5g of ram free. So clearly with what I run, 4gb of ram just wasn't enough, however, I trust my phone to be smart enough to kill apps in the bg before it's down to 384mb of free ram. Closing them myself would typically stop the lag. This isn't something I should need to do. It's a smart phone. It should be smart enough to know if something hasn't been used in 6 hours, that is safe to close it because I'm low on ram.
All that said, I love the 9+. I do have some issues using a swipe style keyboard with the curved screen. Part of it is the curve, and part I think is my Tempered Glass (Bodyguardz). I don't think it's sitting quite all the way, so sometimes it doesn't register touches especially on the lower left side. I'm about 90%certain that's the issue. There are obviously other things to get used to going from LG ui to Samsung Experience (although I am using Nova Launcher), but all in all, I'm glad I upgraded.
I noticed that the curved corners cut off part of the screen. I'm playing a game and part of it gets cut off.
Today I used adb (there's a post here) to remove bloatware without root. Fantastic post. It's the only reason I even wanted root. Phone boots quicker and stuff like Facebook, Samsung Messanger, etc are gone.

Screen apears grainy

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.
