2nd screen issues - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this has been brought up before but I am curious if the light bleeding and very dark screen is an issue with just some of the devices? My light bleeding looks horrible and can't stand looking at it in the dark. And during the day time it dims so dark I can't even see if I have a notification. Thoughts?

The light bleed is totally normal. This is an LCD screen and it uses backlight technology. There will be bleed when one part of the screen is lit and the rest is not. The reason its hard to read the 2nd screen out in the sun is because the 2nd screen dims to the lowest possible level to preserve battery life while it is on. It will brighten up if you actually wake the screen. I agree the 2nd screen doesn't look great at night but that is the trade off you get going with LCD. AMOLED wouldn't have that issue but AMOLED screens tend to burn in. Pick your poison.

I understand that but the main reason for getting this device was hopes to see if I have a notification by simply glancing at the 2nd screen. It's so dim I can barely even read it. At this point I wish I just had a flashing led.

I don't have the phone but based on other peoples experiences it sounds like you have a defective phone. The second display should be easily read. People seem to love it.

Plus their reds look like oranges.

I'm just noticing that the left edge of the 2nd screen, next to the front cams, is a lil brighter than the whole 2nd screen, in the upper corner. Im assuming this is normal. It's not really Noticeable

This is by design. All units have it.

My Amoled devices aren't as readabled in direct sun light. IPS text is so crisp. But as it's been mentioned it's lcd, so there's always gonna be a brighter edge where the backlighting originates.

Display not TRUE BLACK ?

Hello,
Im Using Amoled Smartphones since the Galaxy (i7500). They all were always showing at 100% Brightness for Black parts of a picture a true Black like the Display is OFF.
If you put the Brightness to 100% and go to an complete Dark Room and open an Black Picture you see some Gray/Yellow Tint on the Screen. You can compare this good by locking the phone to see the Screen OFF and than unlock it to view the Black Picture again. You should see a huge difference. Hope to hear from your experiences.
I've seen that already on the S1 when abusing it a a nightstand clock.
Best guess I've heard is that the (AMO)LED screen leaks some luminosity to other pixels in the background which is then visible as a very faint glow.
However I rather believe that the AMOLED are not truely off but rather get some leak voltage and thus have a very-very-very faint glow (like one photon per second xD )
That would explain the black spots most people seem to mind on AMOLED when on minimum brightness with a black screen; they are truely off or without insufficient leak voltagage (LED's requie a minimum voltage to work).
AMOLED production is somewhat complicated (very thin layer of silver as a power source and a control-layer) so I wouldn't be surprised if the above is true.
Nothing is perfect, especially not a rather new technology.
What else did you expect from a backlit display.

It's not backlit is the point.
Correct me if im wrong here but amoled is, by design, not backlit.

Yeah so I was wondering why it does this little/ hard noticeable yellow/gray tint on a dark room...
There is no Backlight... Unfortunely i Sold my Galaxy S2 so I cant compare it.. But im Sure it wasnt like this
I have this on my gsiii and also on the Gnote... I think is due to the pentile screen
I had this on my Fascinate but realized it wasn't a big issue. Definitely more noticeable on my Gnex but it also has more pixels so that could be why you see more light. I wouldn't call it a problem because the majority of the time it's absolutely unnoticeable. Each pixel has so have some sort of voltage to be ready to react to changes. Turning off/on completely each time light is needed might waste battery.
P.S. I'm noob at displays but that's my theory.

I was curious about this issue as well. It's my understanding that OLEDs do not produce any light in their inactive state.
Regarding your theory, I wonder if it's similar to plasma displays. Even though plasmas are capable of true black (they do not use a backlight) The individual plasma cells have better response times if they aren't fully discharged on blacks. So they have a faint glow that comes from the low power they are using to keep the pixel charged up and ready to go when a color change is needed.
This actually costs a little power though, rather than saving it. So if thats what they are doing, it is for screen quality reasons so that movies and other things look better.
Did some Googling and I couldn't find much information, but there is talk of delivering pre-charge voltage to the OLED pixels to improve response times. So it could be that they are indeed similar to plasma displays in that respect: Capable of true black, but the benefits of not using true black are too good to pass up.
Are you SURE the picture is actually true black? By that i mean pure 100% black in an uncompressed image? If not then you cant expect the phone to display true black. A JPEG of black may not be enough.
My screen it totally off when displaying true black.
I can confirm the screen showing a faint glow on S3 with a true black screen.
Use Firefox with Fullscreen extension (Chrome and the default browser don't seem to have fullscreen mode yet) and go to http://d4f.pf-control.de/black.html
That's rendered on the phone so we can expect it to be the blackest black an app can produce, however in a (very) dark room you'll see a very faint glow coming from the screen and you'll be able to see the black spots (truely black) that people keep complaining about.
The theory about it being a precharge voltage does indeed sound plausible since LED's have a certain reaction time which unfortunately cannot be compensated by e.g. Overdrive as is used in LCD screens.
Note that the S3's "black" is still far better than any LCD.
No mine is still jet black, no light at all.
Go to a COMPLETELY dark room and make sure the screen is actually turned on when on the website (not timed out).
Then take a long-exposure photograph of your phone (still make sure the screen is turned ON!).
I don't have a long exposure camera, but the room is completely dark and my eyes have adjusted, there is no light.
All sgs3 ( as sgs2) screens emit a very week glow on a black pictures ( with the screen on )

It would seem to me that the 'ink spots' many have are not overly dark spots at all, they are what the screen should be. My screen emits no visible light when displaying a true black image, at least nothing my eyes can see, even at the edge of my vision field where light cell are most sensitive. My screen is on maximum brightness.
My screen has no patches, no streaks, no spots, no pink or excessively blue tint. I guess i have a screen thats as near to perfect as they get.
yes there is very faint glow indeed making the screen a bit greyish instead of pitch black

I don't think anyone is trying to paint it as an issue that needs to be resolved. It's more of an odd technical mystery rather than a real problem. The blacks are still extremely deep on an AMOLED, just like with Plasma it puts LCD to shame in that department.

Backlight bleed or light leakage.

My Xperia Z Ultra has minor light leakage from the top of the screen. Visible at the top and also the top left and right.
Its not evident when the phone is held straight but becomes visible (these areas appear brighter at an angle and you can see a clear source of light) when the phone is held at an angle. I cant recollect whether I had this from day 1.
Its been about two months with this device.
Is this normal? I do know that minor backlight bleed or leakage is to be expected from an LCD screen but I thought that applied to bigger panels like monitors. But is this normal for a phone? All my previous android devices were Samsungs with AMOLED displays so I'm not sure whether I'm just getting worried over nothing.
To test this, take a pure white background at fullscreen and check the corners of the screen at different angles.
Kindly post your findings here.
Yup, I have it too. Not really noticeable unless I look for it though, so it doesn't bother me.

Is it at the top of the screen for you? Is it visible when you tilt the screen or when the phone is horizontal..like when placed on a table?
For me the top most area of the screen appears brighter with light shining through when I hold the phone vertically at a 45 degree angle or when the phone is on a table.
When I'm holding the phone straight on, directly facing it, it doesnt seem to show much.

Upper left corner of secondary screen, backlight very bright

So, I picked up my new V10 today, and I noticed something odd. It appears that the upper left corner of secondary screen has a problem with the Backlight. Just wanted to see if anyone else is noticing this.
It's most noticeable when the second screen is running with the main screen off, especially when there are notifications coming across, the upper left side of the screen is over-lit. Please see the attached couple of pictures for example. (The first picture is hard to see, but you can see the brighter corner on the second picture where I have an email notification). It's also noticeable when the phone is in use and both screens are on.
I'm just wondering if others are seeing this or if it's possible that I got a small defect from factory.
The secondary display does 'bleed', as mentioned in a few youtube reviews. Mine also bleeds. Apparently this is normal but definitely not appealing.
Mine does as well. Only noticed it in my pitch dark bedroom last night.

It's not a defect, just part of using backlights. Look up LG G2x backlight bleed, that was a whole different ballgame, lol.
I'm only seeing that bleed in the dark until that screens dims a bit then the bit of bleed dissappears. I've never seen what you have in your picture.

Yours looks very excessive. In normal viewing conditions, the backlight should not ever be that noticeable. The only time I ever see the backlight on my V10 for the secondary display is in a completely dark room when the screen lights up a little bit because the phone was moved or something. But in this case, the backlight is leaking into half the screen because of how backlight bleed works in an LCD - i.e. it is not a hotspot like you have.
When I got my first V10, it had a hotspot in the upper left corner of the main part of the display. I noticed it immediately but wasn't sure if it was a defect or not. Compared it to the demo model and the salesman agreed, so we swapped it for another V10 right on the spot - no issue now, the screen looks beautiful and the secondary display and notification bar blend PERFECTLY into the bezel during use. It nearly looks AMOLED unless in complete darkness. I would swap your phone ASAP.
Mine does to in a dark room but once it dims the second time when screens off its hardly noticeable. Not what OP has though.
Nothing like that on mine either.
I did notice a very faint glow on the top right of mine but this is as others mentioned...Only barely visible and only in pitch darkness.
What you showed on the top left doesn't seem "normal" at all. +1 on swapping it out. I'd say that's excessive and a defect.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, it turns out that it was not normal. Just rolled back in from the T-Mobile store. Took it in, expecting to be met with some resistance when requesting a replacement. To my surprise, they immediately agreed and replaced it!
The replacement does not have this issue. Glad to get that taken care of, really my only major gripe so far is gone.
Glad to hear it! Happy endings are the best.

Good to hear as well.
So there is no more light bleed on your second screen or it just isn't as pronounced as before?
I have some. The tiniest bit. In a dark room. Totally acceptable. I think this second screen is sexy as all hell
From reviews I knew there was a light leak issue. However, it does annoy me. I wish there was none at all our at least give us the ability to change the brightness. That being said, I initially thought the second screen would be dumb but now I can't imagine being without it. Switching between apps is so much easier now.

Can you try pushing a notification to yourself, while the screen is off and snapping a picture like you did in your first post? I'm curious to see what it looks like because when my screen is off and I get a notification with a white background it's bright on the left corner just like your picture.
I have the same issue on white notifications. Annoying but considering first gen of this type of display...if in future models I'm sure they will have a higher quality one in future.

Went to the T-Mobile store to compare my phone to the display model. After playing with the phones I could see that my second screen display was in fact brighter on the left edge than the display model, so I'll be exchanging mine as well. Hopefully, I get a better one but at the moment I'll have to wait, since they are sold out. It was such a pain in the ass to get the sales associate to see the difference. Unfortunately, she couldn't but when she called someone else over they agreed that it was brighter.
I started a new thread about the dimming of the second screen(probably shouldnt have after reading here). Has anyone figured out how to make the display brighter again with the screen off? I can hardly see it in a lit room..
Thankfully the set I have (HK Dual Sim V10, H961N) has very very slight, almost unnoticeable bleed for the 2nd screen
I exchanged mine yesterday. That top left of BOTH screens was horrible. We went through 5 devices and every single one had some sort of bleed. I picked the one that had the least, and none on the main display. I'm sure LG will revise the HW and fix the issue but anytime you pick up a device with new tech expect some sort of issue.
Mine bleeds a little, but I really don't care.

2nd Screen Light Bleed - Want other user opinions.

Hey guys so I just picked up my LG V10 2 days ago, I knew there were some issues with light bleed on the upper left corner of the 2nd screen but I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
The first night I had the 2nd screen off, however last night I decided to give it a try since it seemed like an elegant idea to have on this phone.
In the darkness of my bedroom the light bleed from the upper left was utterly atrocious, it actually fans out and extends into the other screen to about where the notification bar is (this is with the main screen off). The light bleed is also quite bright at night, it is very visible from across the room and really destroys the user experience.
I'll update with photos this evening as I want to know if other users have a significant problem or it's something that happens on every few phones and I can exchange for a unit that hopefully has less bleeding.
I'd love your feedback on how the 2nd screen bleeding WITH MAIN SCREEN OFF is for you especially in a dark room.
Yeah mineb does exactly that..doesnt really bother me too much
If you're in a very dark or completely dark room, you're going to notice light bleed. It's unavoidable with LCD technology. Mine also bleeds a bit into the regular display. Look at the screen directly (not at an angle) and it should look a little better. Angles produce worse backlight bleed - you're going to notice when you're laying in bed and look over at the phone and see the backlight bleed being a lot worse.
The big concern is if the backlight is actually bleeding in normal day-to-day conditions. On my first phone, I noticed in the STORE that the upper left corner of the notification bar was brighter than the rest of the screen. It had backlight bleed bad up there to the point if it being visible in daylight on colored portions of the screen. Exchanged it for another phone on the spot and it looks completely fine now. In most conditions the second screen appears to be floating because your eyes are adjusted to the brighter ambient light and can't see the poorer contrast ratio of an LCD compared to an AMOLED. At night though, you will definitely see that the second screen would have been executed better if LG would implement OLED in their flagship phones.
I see a little bleed on the left edge of the second screen, when the main screen is off, but it doesn't bother me. I kind of like that the notification icon is brighter than the rest of the second screen because it helps me notice that I have a notification, especially since the phone has no notification LED (shame). The second screen is not important to me, plus I don't see the bleed when the main screen is on which is when I'm actually spending significant time on the phone.
There reason you see bleed is because the second screen has a dedicated white LED on the left edge that's separate from the main panel backlight and positioned to "inject" light from the side without being properly integrated with the panel's backlight diffuser. This is why you'll see this, to varying degrees, on every unit. When you're in a well-lit room with the main screen on, the second screen looks perfect, because that secondary LED is off when the main screen is on. Also, the second screen auto-dims based on the amount of ambient light, so you might see the bleed on the "high" mode when you first turn off the main screen, but not when it dims down to the "low" mode after a while. Maybe they'll introduce a new hardware revision that repositions the second screen edge LED or does something else to limit its bleed. We'll know in 1-2 months when the next batch of V10s hits the stores.
I replaced my V10 twice because it had yellow bleed at the BOTTOM of the screen by the navigation buttons and that annoyed me as hell, since it affects the colors of everything I do, especially watching movies. All three had second screen bleed. What was particularly interesting is that each had a different color temperature screen. My first one was reddish, the second one was blueish (like the G4), and my current one is greenish, it actually looks exactly like the Nexus 6P screen (I put them side by side to compare).
I'll agree with Nitemare3219's and siraltus' observations and comments. When the main screen is on nothing is really noticeable. When the main screen is off I have the second screen off. It's so dim I don't see the point to having it on. The second screen is a bit of a gimmick. If I had additional issues I might think of exchanging it (still have 10 days), but I don't notice any other screen issues, and my fingerprint reader works...with a case. Every LCD screen I've had has had some sort of bleed. The problem starts if it is noticeable during normal use/viewing.
Mine slightly lights up the whole right corner 1/5th down the screen, only visible in a dark room. I dont get bleed from the right like ive seen in pictures and youtube.
It's only noticeable when it's pitch black and my main screen is off, so it doesn't bother me at all. It's not noticeable any other time.
First the second screen has already become a staple of my use habits, it's no gimack. Yes bleed is there when main screen is off, no I don't like it, but don't feel it's as big an issue as some make it out to be. That's just me though, I can see it bothering some.

Same, the light bleed is noticeable in the dark, but not bothersome. It is not nearly brought enough to light up my room at all, and is very slight in the upper left corner of the second screen. For the usefulness of the second screen with my usage, it's an ok trade off for me.
If your not happy with it and your within the 20 days id return it. I did return my initial one and my second one is better with less bleed.
my bleeding is always noticeable but especially on dark rooms,
I posted the pictures here:

How could you LG??

What's up everyone, loving this k one but how about that screen bleed though!? Yes I know there is a similar post about this, but I want to make it only about the screen bleed issue and anyone experiencing same? I am about to go get my third exchange in less than ten days
I just checked and the only noticeable bleed I noticed was by the top left of the second screen but it's small. Main screen seems ok, to me at least.

That's true, and for me it's fairly noticable on the top left, along with under the two front facing cameras there is bleed as well for me. This is my second phone.
Could be like the g2x lol
It's definitely there in the top left corner, but there's no way it would bother me enough to go exchange it.
Same here, if only there was a way to invert the color from BLACK text on White backgroud, to WHITE Text on Black Background. The fade would not be noticeable.
I went through 2 V10s and ended up returning both and going back to my M8. Basically what I noticed was slot of backlight/screenbleed issues when in immersive mode of an app. Like a book reader for example. If the background color is white, up at the top of the screen there would be a gray/black hue leaking through.
Of course once you notice it, you see it in other applications that go into immersive mode. I think there is something happening where the 2 displays meet at the top when immersive mode kicks in.
It's mostly only noticeable when the screen is like 60% brightness or less.
Unfortunately that was a deal breaker for me, even though the rest of the phone was great.
What sucks is that I'm going to have to fight a restocking fee for this problem even though t-mobile store reps saw the problem as well

I was thinking in maybe doing the same but getting maybe the HTC m9 or anything other than the Samsungs. Hate them. I will be going today to get my third new exchange since I still have seven more days left. Gets very annoying all this screen bleed issues. This phone is so beast in all other aspects. Camera, sound quality, and love the software but not as much to stock like nexus line.
I have a post here with dead pixels issues, the replacement T-Mo sent me not only had dead pixels as well, but a terrible bleed where the two displays meet. It is only noticeable when you look at the display from an angle, for example phone on the table and you have a light background you see a dark spot there, once I noticed that its driving me crazy. LG quality control is a POS IMO. This phone rocks, but is plagued by stupid QC issues.
There is nothing you can do. All phones will have the "second screen bleed" due to how it's designed.
There are two backlights. First is the normal backlight that lights up the entire display (there is no "second screen" - it's a single LCD panel). Then, there's the secondary backlight - a single white LED on the left edge of the "second screen." This single secondary backlight LED is injecting light through the left edge of the second screen and is not attached to the main backlight diffuser, which is why it lights the screen so unevenly. There are certain times when that secondary LED is on and when it is off. When it is on, it adds extra light near the left edge of the screen, which makes the notifications in that area brighter.
Try this. Turn on the Camera app and observe the buttons that appear on the second screen. Notice that the left-most (or bottom, if you hold it horizontally) button is NOT brighter at all? That's because the second backlight turns off when the camera app is running, and you only see the main screen backlight, which is even. Exit the camera app and you'll see the second backlight turn on and the bleed return. Open the camera app again and you'll see the bleed disappear, as the second backlight turns off.
Do another test. Hold the phone at an angle so the bleed from the second backlight is clearly visible, then go into the settings for the second screen, and turn it off while watching the left-most edge of the second screen - you'll see the "bleed" suddenly disappear, because the secondary backlight turns off (even though the main backlight is on). Turn the second screen back on while watching the left edge, and you'll see the bleed come back as the secondary backlight turns back on.
Yet another way to see it - power off the phone, then power it on while watching the left edge of the second screen. During initial boot, it will look perfectly even, no bleed, because the secondary backlight is off. But half-way through the boot process, the secondary backlight turns on, and you see "bleed."
Now, when the main screen is off, the ONLY thing lighting the second screen is the secondary backlight, so ALL you see is bleed (since the main backlight is off) which looks horrible.
The reason you don't see bleed at all in TWRP is because TWRP doesn't know that there is a second backlight and therefore it doesn't turn it on, since it doesn't know how.
To get rid of the "brighter left side" problem when the main screen is on, all LG has to do is issue a software update that turns off the secondary backlight when the main screen is on - I'm surprised they overlooked this obvious problem.
And here's the kicker - you know why you don't see the second screen bleed on the demo units in stores? Because the Retail Mode app turns the secondary backlight off, just like the camera app.
here's my issue, called again to T/mo and they're sending another RMA..Apart from that am having a defective proximity sensor...will update when the "new" phone arrive
That's not screen bleed. That's where the edge of the lcd panel meets the edge of the bezel around the front facing cameras. It's an unavoidable shadow.
I'm really picky about my phones, especially the screens, but I think you're honestly expecting the impossible. They can't NOT make a shadow there, given the arrangement of the secondary screen backlight and the camera bezel.
If that's your biggest complaint about this phone and the screen, then I think you're being too picky.

I know am picky, we all should be with a $600+ smartphone, in the highest end gamma quality control must be precise. Apart from that I already posted a dead pixels thread and this one has dead pixels too...take a magnifying glass crank the brightness to 100% and watch very carefully in a dark, this is my second V10 and a third is on the way
Now dead Pixels are not acceptable. But that shadow will always be there no how many times you exchange it.

That shadow was not there on the last phone and its really annoying cause it distorts any solid color that's displayed there, also it's only a "shadow" with light content, it's a bright spot with dark content. It looks worse in real life than it does in pictures

Same here, if only there was a way to invert the color from BLACK text on White backgroud, to WHITE Text on Black Background. The fade would not be noticeable.

Gross
That means our models r very radically different.
way much more of an extent than I have been realizing.
Or...u have an adware prob or it's hidden
I think when it comes down to basics...each flavor has it's own heart.
Yet..No matter the carrier and especially when it's a basic LG/LGE setting....it shuld b on all.
Forgive my lack of correct wording....
I bet if u can't see it ..the ..invert....setting maybe just hidden
Again...u r stock?
K now i think....
You should Try searching for "invert" with QuickShortcutMaker app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...G6PnXP4eFRw4Tw9vg&sig2=ujB0W4bySmI1c5Qzvof0KA
No I'm not pushing the app...I'm hoping it may enabling u to see the setting.

You need to take use of their 3 RMA in 90 day policy and switch out from the V10 than.

I went through 2 V10s and ended up returning both and going back to my M8. Basically what I noticed was slot of backlight/screenbleed issues when in immersive mode of an app. Like a book reader for example. If the background color is white, up at the top of the screen there would be a gray/black hue leaking through.
Of course once you notice it, you see it in other applications that go into immersive mode. I think there is something happening where the 2 displays meet at the top when immersive mode kicks in.
It's mostly only noticeable when the screen is like 60% brightness or less.
Unfortunately that was a deal breaker for me, even though the rest of the phone was great.
What sucks is that I'm going to have to fight a restocking fee for this problem even though t-mobile store reps saw the problem as well

I noticed the same thing on mine. I hope they will fix it with a software update. I've noticed that it doesn't seem to happen as long as the second screen is active.
