Im about to buy a V10 but I has heard about bleeding light on the left edge/corner of the 2nd screen. Is it happen on all the v10 or just some and I can exchange for a new one if it happen to me?
It's all of them...is only noticeable really when the screen is off in a dark room....not a deal breaker for me...this phone is awesome!
Well, its an issue on all v10s, and personally I don't mind it. It winds up looking like a gradient from the top right corner that occupies roughly 5-10% of the main screen, with no line or anything between the first screen and the second screen. I would take a pic for you, but I don't have a camera that can pick it up. What you could do is go into a store and cover the phone with like a jacket or something and look under there while its off to see if you have an issue with it.

Mine definitely has the light bleed that people are talking about but sometimes when i turn the screen off it isn't as noticeable. Doesn't really bother me though
Why is this an issue? It's kinda like just trying to find something wrong!

Doing that in a store will make you look very suspicious
It'll look like you're trying to steal the phone lol :laugh:
Anyhow it's there but it's really not a big deal
I switch off the second screen at night, I set it to private mode anyway :good:

well it's literally a hardware issue, I think I will just go to a store and test it, If it is not a big deal, then I will buy it or wait till LG fix it because I saw some look that pretty bad on youtube
Mine has it as well but it doesn't bother me one bit. One of the perks to having a backlit screen but the trade off is great for direct sunlight viewing

As the others have said, it's definitely there. It all boils down to personal preferences - it's definitely there on mine and it can be a little annoying at times but I love the phone enough to overlook it. Just basically becomes what you're willing to look the other way on.
Mine has the light bleed ... but it's only noticeable in a dark room when the screen goes dark - then for the next 30 seconds the second screen stays lit and you see the light bleed. Once the 30 seconds passes, the second screen dims and the light bleed is nearly impossible to see.
3 of my associates have this phone and 2 of them do not have any light bleed at all. It doesn't seem to matter if it's an AT&T or Verizon version - some have no bleed, some do.
It shouldn't bother you. Then again, if you're anything like one of my OCD associates, it might make you insane, as he returned 2 of them till he got one that didn't have any bleed.
Mine has it too. I don't think it's a deal-breaker but you will notice it in a completely dark room.
Here's a photo showing it.

This was taken in a completely dark room with a 10 second exposure, at pretty much the worst angle for seeing the bleed.
I can see it on mine in a dark room only. Doesn't bother me one bit
I've gone through 3 devices. The first two were both from an 11/15 batch of phones, and had very noticeable light bleed, with one even having some on the upper left of the main screen as well. On these phones, you could notice it even with lights on as the icon on the left of the second screen was noticeably brighter/more vivid than the rest of the icons, which looked pale and washed out. The third phone is from a 12/15 batch, and is much better. It shows a slight bit of bleed like the picture in the post above, but none on the main screen. The light bleed it does have is really only able to be seen at night in a dark room. Otherwise you can't tell at all and that screen's blacks are just as inky black as the rest of the screen.
LoL. yea i noticed it too. reminds me of my very old CASIO watches when u press the light button to see the digital screen at night. However, not a deal breaker at all. i barely notice it every now and then

how do you know the batch of the phone?
i also notice the light when i looking direct/normal at the screen should I get replacement? i just got it today kind of sad i talk to LG about it they say should I get new phone at the store apparently is a known issue for them
Mine has it also but it is visible only in completely dark room with main screen off and second screen is bright. If both screens are on or second screen is dim (i use auto brightness so this is the case most of the time) it is not visible. It does not annoy me at all. Now i use nillkin leather quick cover case so it is not visible at all because main screen turns on automatically by opening the cover.

This is not meant to be a thread about me asking whether I should return my phone. Has anyone else noticed that the top half of.the display is warmer (color temp-wise) than the bottom half? It's certainly not a major yellowing but on a white background it can be seen. Any thoughts?
Return it if it bothers you so much....j/k, can't see it on mine, could it be the light leakage from the leds for the red buttons?
Sounds defective to me.

No problems here. Screen is so much better than the AMOLED screens.

don't know. Yeah post a pic but pulling up my dialer, which has lots of white, the top and bottom look very purely white.
Just checked mine out. No problems here. May want to swap it.
Ugh. I haven't posted 8 times yet.
I appreciate all of the replies. What I'm talking about is pretty subtle, so I'll be curious to see your reactions to the pic.
I hate to do this, but I would like to post an image.
Here's a pic of my screen using "Screen Test".
http://db.tt/f7U6CK7Y
You can see that it is warmer on the left (top half of screen)
Eh, mine does it a little but not enough to make a fuss about it, barely noticeable.
People are too picky about things. Nothing's going to be 100% perfect.
Not major but it is interesting to look at these manufacturing quirks. Having said that, Nexus has some "quirks" in its display that I found unacceptable. Yet most people don't even bay an eyelash.

Not seeing it. When you say top half of screen do you mean based on landscape or based on the phone's top? The color bar on the half with numbers 3 & 4 is more saturated.
I downloaded that app and mine looks just like yours. I don't see any problem except for that saturation but I don't notice that on anything else so I have to guess that's the way that image is already. I've looked at the white screen and the grey screen as well. Perhaps there's a very, very slight lightness at the very edges of the screen but nothing that looks really wrong.

I meant top half of the display if it was in portrate mode. That's a little confusing since my pic is in landscape. My sense of it is that the "1" and "3" side, or what would be the top of the screen, is warmer. If I'm looking at a page of text on a white background and I watch a spot as I scroll it up toward the top of the display it will get warmer the higher it moves.
Basically what I'm saying is that the bottom of my display has a higher color temperature than the top, and it sounds like that's pretty consistent with other Rezounds. Overall, I don't think there's a better display out there.
I just checked with Screen Test. I notice your key lights are on in your pic. I wonder if leak from the LEDs down there are making it a bit cooler. On mine, I can just maybe barely hallucinate the light leak on a black background it if I'm testing it in the dark but I still think it looks different than your pic.
Your screen is warmer from the top until about 1/6 of the way down where mine would be cooler from the bottom until maybe 1/10 of the way up. I don't know if there's any potential optical illusion going on but I would guess you have some backlight nonuniformity issue. Maybe try it in different kinds of ambient light and see if it looks anything like leakage from the bottom keys.

So, if I'm understanding you the two displays are similar in that they're warmer at the top and cooler at the bottom?
If my past experience with LCDS they seem to have had had less variation across the panel.

I think what s/he's saying is that the capacative button LEDs are on so they leak a bit of light onto the bottom of the screen. You can download Screen Filter and turn them off and see if you still feel the screen is cooler at the bottom. And yes, they felt their screen looked different than yours but that it could be an optical illusion?
Okay now I'm wondering if I'm seeing it on my screen as well so I took screenshots, rotated one of them and putting then up side by side to see if it could be an optical illusion based on there bring different shades of grey nearby.
Well they didn't come up side by side as another post of mine since they're bigger for some reason, but anyway, you can see the dark grey squares of both butted up against each other and they look the same. I agree the white circles around the numbers seem different but perhaps that's the image from the test and not the screen?

It's only noticeable on black or really dark backgrounds but does everyone else's home button bleed a bit of light into the screen or just mine? I'll see if I can snap a pic tomorrow.
Yupp... Once an led brightness mod is created it should be better.
Yeah noticed this from day one. Mine is not just on the really dark screens either but I think every phone I've ever had has had something like this in one way or another....no biggie.

Do you guys know if this justifies an exchange from BestBuy? I'm just concerned that it may get worse because that's how these things tend to play out over time.

If you have light bleed issues, you should get a replacement. Mine is perfect - zero light bleed. First HTC device I've owned that didn't have at least a little.

you can also download an app from the market that test your screen for dead pixels and it helps find light-bleed as well. I believe it's called Screen test, just type that in the play store and you'll find it.

I don't have any noticeable bleeding in black backgrounds, but the lights at the bottom of the screen are very noticeable in other colors, especially white. It doesn't bleed really into the screen, but there is a pattern of small bright lines at the bottom of the screen.

You have 30 days to do whatever you want with it.
I had light bleed on my first EVO LTE. The light bleed is most apparent when the button lights are on, the screen backlight is at its dimmest setting, and the screen is black. A great way to test is to install the flash-the-brain.com FlashLight app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.flashLight) and swipe down to set it to the dimmest setting. A picture of my first phone and the replacement are below (this was a long exposure in a completely dark room, so it didn't look quite so bad in real life):
I have it also, i didn't always notice it but definitely there at times... must be when the lights are on the buttons like ahecht pointed out
i dont know if it gets worse though, should i exchange?
yeah mine has a light bleed on all black screens as well
mine has light bleeding as well.. i noticed it during a game boot up today.. isn't our 30 days getting close? hmm what to do ...
Really like the N10 but this makes build quality seem a little shoddy.
It's annoying to hear the click every time its re-positioned in my hands.
Might just be a defective unit, mine doesn't do that at all.

This wouldn't bother me anyway tbh. I'm concerned about bad backlight bleed.
Same here, no flex.
You press on your car hood and it's going to dimple and make noise too. Are you going to RMA it too?

it's irritating simply because its noticeable every time you switch hands or re-position the N10 in your hands--something you do often while holding a 10" slab of glass that weighs over a pound for an extended period of time.
If the hood on my car made a sound every time i turned i would probably RMA it too.
I'll be honest though, i am torn on a RMA because i think a lot of people return too many items driving up the cost for everyone. I'd never return something because the screen looks uneven with a pure black image in a completely dark room because it's something i'd never notice in regular use.
If it was just flex i wouldn't give a crap but the sound however is hard to ignore when reading or browsing the web in a quiet environment.

Is not uneven, it's areas of the screen that are much brighter than others on a black screen.
You would notice it in normal usage if your planning on watching dark videos on it.
I agree, slight bleed is ok because you won't notice it at a lower brightness level in the dark.
However bad backlight bleed where a reasonably big portion of the screen is alot brighter than the rest would be very distracting whilst watching a dark film.
I have a bit a flex (well, its not flex, more like its hollow underneath) right around the 'S' area of the Nexus. But i dont care.

If I really push I get a slight click. As I don't push on the back of my device with force too often I'm not seeing it as a problem.
I was more concerned about dead pixels. I have none, I do have some light bleed though but since its only noticeable in the dark when I have brightness up maybe 25% its not a problem as it is only noticeable at 100% brightness
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I noticed today I have this flex in the back too. I also have some bleed in both bottom corners and a small amount at the top. None of this is really bad enough to bother me that much. I was just wondering if there could be any correlation between this flex and light bleed. Anyone that doesn't have the flex, do you have light bleed?
Mine just came in about an hour ago. The little bit of light bleed I can live with, but the back cover looks like somebody stepped on it in the middle, there is significant bowing, and associated creaking and popping.
Already processed an RMA with Google, replacement should be on the way.
But other than that, this thing rocks so far.

Bro, do the RMA. That's not normal, on mine there's a slight give when firm pressure is applied. It feels natural though, like that's what's supposed to happen when that much pressure is applied. You definitely can't feel any play or hear any clicking noises while handling it. I get that your trying to be considerate and everything but there's a limit, you paid good money for the device, don't sell yourself short.
If you can take the back off, maybe you can take a hairdryer to it and gently melt it flat. Can't say I know anyone who's tried this though, just a random thought
Has anyone noticed that the bottom edge of your DNA has a slight 1-2mm shadowy area where the backlight is dim as well as random areas along the sides (this is not the capacitive light bleed which most units all have, which I don't consider a big deal)? I've had numerous replacements and all have exhibited these issues including a few Verizon store units. I find it surprising that this hasn't been reported upon in any reviews. It's fairly annoying on white and light colors, the majority of what I use the phone for (side-by-side with my 4s, the 4s has even lighting to the edges). I also checked out the HTC One in an AT&T store and couldn't see these issues, so it looks DNA rather than HTC specific.
It's a bit hard to make out from pictures, but it is visible.

Yeah, man; it's a curse. I'm one of those who notices the digitizer when the display is on as well.
Because of those lights, I think the top 1/8 of the screen is a bit brighter than the rest as well, especial if you're viewing in landscape. If you do the same on the bottom, you see nothing, like they didn't put any LEDs there. The inconsistency I've noticed along the sides isn't the exact same between any two phones (I've had a number of replacements mostly due to other issues). I bothers me pretty much any time I use the browser, maps app, texting, or anything like that, but I think i'm slowly getting used to it. From what I can tell of hands on time with the HTC One, it looks like they've mostly avoided this in that model, if not because of a larger bezel to hide the diffuser/LEDs in.
Hello all,
Last night I watched a show on my tablet in total darkness and noticed some weird banding which I thought was caused by the video itself but then I checked with the other apps and it was clear that it wasn't the video but the screen itself. Is my tab screen faulty? It's just over 3 weeks old for God's sake! Is anyone else experiencing the same issue or am I the only one?

This is what it looked like while watching
those look like window reflections. Make a drawing, fill the entire screen with solid black, do you still see the banding? Do you have blue light filter on? If you still see it and you don't have any filters and you're sure it's not reflections, return it.
At low Brightness with night mode on mine is a bit patchy but yours seems worse. If it bothers you I would exchange and see if you get better luck next time
mine is solid black no pathing
That looks faulty

Hi guys. Thanks for your comments. I tried disabling the blue light filter. Also, it was pitch black in the room with no reflection anywhere.
Spoke with Samsung and it's going to be replaced.

Lowest brightness with blue light filter on ?
Can't help you as far as the screen is concerned, but nice choice about watching Succession, season 2 has been great.

Lowest brightness yes. Blue light no. I never use that. I surely would never use with video
I watch on mine in dark, complete black the screen is, no bleed etc.
Return it.
Hmmm I'm noticing similar to mine now even without blue light filter and normal brightness
Hey guys. Just an update. It's a bit of a long story but the tl;dr version is that I have got a new Tab S6 today and guess what? The same screen-bleed issue but on a different part of the screen.

I phoned the Samsung shop team and they were extremely helpful and arranged a replacement. However, I am very disappointed with the quality control. Does anyone know how I can raise this with Samsung so that something would be done at a higher level i.e. maybe there is a faulty batch or something?
Is that right from a factory reset without installing or restoring any apps? I have to wonder at this point if it's some software, These are amoled screens, there shouldn't be any bleed, there's no backlight. While some pixels can definitely fail what you're seeing on 2 tablets seems highly unlikely not random across the screen. Only other thing I can think of is you have something putting undue pressure on parts of the screen.

No. The pictures above are of the replacement tablet. I hadn't had the chance to transfer my settings or anything so it's factory formatted. All I did was turn on night mode at night and start the dialer app as well as other Samsung apps. Even the keyboard is brighter on one side than the other. I asked the other half to look and point out anything odd and she spotted it straightaway.
The tablet was literally out of the box. Barely stayed out of the box for an hour and there was nothing else pressed against it at all.

It's not bleed it's just uneven tints on the screen, very common and annoying as heck.
wow I've never seen anything like that on an oled or amoled screen. I have the S2,S3, S4, note 8, note 10+ and LG Oled and never seen anything even close.
What you have with the white, doesn't surprise me as much as the black as with black the pixels should be OFF.
The mate 20 pro was plagued with green screens like that. I believe they were lg oleds

By the way it's not pure black backgrounds, more dark greys, mine is similar and I believe they will all have it to some degree, seems to be a short coming with oled..it's only noticeable when displaying certain types of greys, at very low brightness, even worse with blue light filter on
Somewhat similar to what I'm experiencing, uneven black levels from corner to corner.
I'll try and get a replacement from the retailer, they give 30 days to return items so it shouldn't be an issue hopefully.
It's not awful, but once you notice it, you always notice it.
I have also the same, verry annoying. And for that price i espect something that works.
