Today was the first time I'd had the phone with the sun shining on it, and there were lines of dots along the screen at regular intervals covering the whole screen, that became visible at certain angles when the sun was shining on it.
I can't recreate it now with artificial light to give a better description, but they were there even when the screen was off.
Has anybody noticed this/is it there a simple explanation for this?
I see it too. It's imho sensors of capacitive display.

Yeah seen em too id agree with you about the sensors never noticed it on any other phone before, but then i never been so nervous about viewing my phone at an angle before lol, maybe it something to do with the fact we can use the phone when its wet.
I had seen them on every android phone, but everytime it looked different
Same here
Have it on my phone too. I noticed this on other phones, but not as obvious as this. I can even see it with the screen on, when looking at the darker portions. Kind of irritating.
Noticed it, but I though it was reinforcement spots for the dragontrail glass.
Doesn't bother me one bit, cos it's only in bright sunlight and at certain extreme angles that you see it.
And it looks somewhat beautiful.

In my lower half of the screen I have a bright spot visible only on light background. My device is just a few days old. Anyone else encountered this? Should I worry about it?

Sorry this might seem silly, but have you checked that the lens is clean? Or maybe there is a bit of dust that has gotten inside the casing and onto the lens? I guess if it's bright enough, then you should be able to have it fixed on warranty.
The lens is part of the camera and has nothing to do with the screen. The screens are backlit by a source of light and mine has a bleed spot. I've seen this before on laptops too.
I think I have it too, left side, a little lower then the middle of the screen. It shows better in the brightest screen setting but it's still pretty discreet. I wouldn't worry about it.

So, I sent the unit back and got a replacement. It was pretty annoying to me as I was constanlty distracted by the bright spot. The carrier (Orange Romania) was very cool about it and sent the replacement ahead to make the switch at my house so I wouldn't have to send it in, wait for them to verify the fault, sent a replacemet in a week or so and be left without a <propper> phone . Very pleased and so far I can't identify any faults.
I received my device today and after playing with it for a few hours, I noticed a light blob on the top-right side of the screen. Such a shame
Hopefully I'll get a replacement asap.
I have a similar spot, but it is in the right bottom corner. These spot seem to appear near the buttons. My theory is that by bending the phone something from the inside of the phone pushes against the display and creates the spots.
mine is from the left edge, thumb size. It's visible on dark background. Sony mobile displays are pure crap, the worst I've seen on any smartphone. Never buy Sony again!
Noticed something for the first time today. Looks like there's light bleeding from the left side edge of my screen where it meets the frame. It's not uniform either so it makes me think that there was some sealent that detached somehow. Anyone else have this issue? I'll try and take a pic once I have another camera to use.
Looks like the same is happening to mine. Left side bottom corner. Actually seems to just be the paint under the glass is peeling away or something? Doesn't seem like it's physically open, compromising the water resistance.
Look like this?
Sent mine in like 2 weeks ago. Still waiting for them to ship it back.
They managed to replace the LCD and motherboard for some reason... wth Samsung
another thread...its not light bleed -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/light-bleed-t3670247
Dang. That's too bright for a dark room.
Huh just noticed that on mine too. Not that bad though but still noticable.
Composed on Galaxy Note8
I've had 2 replacements so far. First one was on the left side from top to bottom. Second phone was all round. Looked the screen had it's own halo!
Interestingly the store manager said that this is not the norm having compared them against the the display phones in store and his own Note 8 which were all flawless!
Whether it's the light reflecting from the screen etc etc, i personally believe this should not be like this, not when there is so much inconsistency between flawless handsets and handsets with the light bleed.
Samsung needs to address this and actually take ownership.
This is one of the first things i checked when i got my Note 8. Mine doesn't have this "bleed"
Do you guys have the issue?
Bothering the hell out of me
Second device still has this issue
Should I continue to exchange until I get a normal one?
It's OLED screen, how could that be? You could put a photo on here.

thread already here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/light-bleed-t3670247
It's common. Just like every issue, not everyone has it, but quite a few people do. I think that we all agreed on a few things:
1. It isn't actually light bleed by the standard definition. It is light leakage around the bottom of the screen, reflecting off of the metal of the bezel.
2. It has been around since curved screens have been around.
3. It does not affect water resistance.
4. It isn't being caused by the screen lifting. It appears to be happening because the black around the base of the screen isn't flush with the bottom. Samsung is aware of it and they don't consider it a defect. It's more of a tolerance issue.
5. Getting the screen replaced isn't a guarantee of a fix. We had at least one person on the above listed thread that had the screen replaced and ended up with the exact same issue.
6. Getting a replacement device is not a guarantee of this being fixed and instead, you might get a device with this issue and some other issue.
7. Most cases will hide the issue.
My wife and I both have Note 8s and both of them have it. I just put the phones in cases and forgot about it. Given the number of things that can go wrong with one of these things, there's just no way that I was going to try swapping it when it is likely that I would end up with another device with the same issue and/or something worse.
Because of the nature of what may appear to be a light bleed, logic dictate to me that an exchange, or screen replacement will not keep light from reflecting off the edges!

If the black around the inside edges of the screen goes to the very bottom of the screen all the way around, then you will not have the light leakage. The reflection happens when the black doesn't go all the way to the bottom and light reflects off of the metal. This is why some people don't have it. In those cases, there is no light leaking out the bottom of the screen that can reflect.

What is this "black around the inside edges" you speak of?
Honestly, unless you getting "leakage" like this, there's no good reason to try and play the lottery. I sent it in to Samsung to get repaired. There's very little "leakage" with the new LCD panel and glass, but there's still a tiny bit, not super noticeable like before.
This is what I saw when looking directly at the screen. Yeah, it was pretty bad. You could see it during the day/lit room.

Look along the bottom edges of the screen. The actual image area does not go all the way to the edge of the bezel. All around, that portion of the screen is blacked out. If the black does not go right to the very edge of the screen, there's a very small area where light can escape and reflect on the bezel.

I'm asking what exactly is the "black" that you're speaking of? Are you speaking of the material that makes up part of the actual display? Is it the black paint on the side frame? What exactly is the "black"? Or is the "black" referring to the area where light is not reflecting?
None issue. I'd be more concerned about screen uniformity if I were a fusspot.[emoji9]

The black that I'm referring to is along the edge of the screen. It is the material that makes up the display, along the bottom edges. I don't know if it's paint or some other material.

If what you say is true, this should be adressed by samsung. Can you point me to any credible sources substantiating what you're saying?

I remember seeing it here somewhere as well. Someone even pasted in a conversation that they had with Samsung. In the conversation, Samsung basically said that it was normal, which to them means it is within tolerance. There is a much bigger thread somewhere in here about "light bleed".
I also saw it somewhere else on the internet, but can't remember where. I stopped thinking about this issue about three days after I got my phone.
I've found a pretty simply solution to this issue. Get yourself some of the glue that's included in the Dome Glass screen protectors. I know they sell similar stuff on amazon, it's UV glue or something, I'd make sure ppl talk about using it to glue on smartphone screens. Since the stuff has a really low surface tension, it sucks itself into any tiny crevices, which include the tiny concave space between the frame and the screen. This stuff blocks the light from leaking, and it's just more glue, which they used to glue the screen on in the first place.
You can use the UV light on it to cure it, or just leave it. since it's such a small amount exposed to the air it it will dry on it's own. The thing I used to hold the glue was super stuck to something the next day and I didn't use the UV light on that, so the stuff does air dry.
I noticed this when I put on my dome glass screen protector and the part where the glue spilled over had no light leaking anymore.

Before I installed UV screen protector I noticed this stripe under UV lamp. Is that normal?
I saw that too, when installing the Whitestone Dome, and have not noticed any problems.
I noticed the same thing when installing my whitestone... assuming it's normal, my display is good under normal circumstances as far as I can tell

it's basically the same shape that shown on my screen whenever the screen display dark color contrasts (but not true blacks)...that seems to resemble a burn-in.
Hi everyone, I don't think this is anything to worry about. I found the same blob on my Huawei Mate 20 Pro whilst I was trying to cure my green screen.
I then checked my partners s9 and it also had the same blob so it's definitely not screen burn.
I was told it's the loca glue used in the manufacturing process. Same thing on the Pixel 3 XL's and Note 8's. I wouldn't worry about it.

Theres almost no way it's a burn in. I have this on my brand new unit that i noticed on the 1st day of use before installing my Whitestone. At this point the screen and only been on for about 20 mins. I know this because my phone as of now only has 31 charging cycles on it.

Yup normal. However I seen a user on here who had it discolor and could be seen under normal use.
Been looking into it why I'm at work. It is an optical adhesive and perfectly normal. However from what I'm guessing Samsung let a few out with bad adhesive and that's what causesd his what he thought was burn in.
But normal to see it under uv under certain wave length's. If you see it without UV light then that is an issue. Or if you have your display on and can see the outline of it.
Same Norland adhesive we use at my work on some of our optical stuff.
Just a heads up. The light they give you with the dome is not the right wavelength for the adhesive they use. Final cure you will wanna do 2 min total for each top and bottom. If not the adhesive will still be green "not fully cured" the adhesive they use is on the cheeper end of the spectrum but fine for what it is being used for. That much adhesive in a top of the line product would be around $30. But I used it on my. Did a final cure of 2 min top and bottom. Checked it out under a high power microscope and it was fully cured. No issues with it lifting.

So you've been meaning to say that if we see this without UV light (which I see in my device when I'm in a dim room and I let my phone show dark grey to dark green colors), then it's not normal? Then if it's Samsung fault, would they fix it in a repair center (hopefully free of charge)?
Im just quite pissed off for this since I came from S9+ and I havent had any issues with the screen. Couldn't they be at least consistent with things like this given the fact the display is one of the most selling point of this phone?
p.s. and oh, just to add, what's appearing on mine is not just some rectangular flat discoloration on my screen, it has dark polkadots lined in a grid inside just like many others have been complaining about.

note 8 had that too.
I saw the same when installing my dome glass. No issues with the display.
My 3 month old Note 9
Can see green polka dot kind of burn in during normal use. Phone is only 3 months old. I take care of my phone religiously. Just noticed a few days ago and now it's all I see.
