Oki, now im sure that all these video black clipping is software rendering issues and i experienced yesterday, a perfect playback of all videos, without any black clipping. I experience same as many othersm at first day I got mine Note and with same issues all having at Video on Note thread. With all these black clipping issues on dark scenes and suddenly yesterday for first time ever, I could watch videos without any issues at all.
What happened:
I watch a eps of Chuck and as usual, the black clipping are all over the screen, make it unwatchable at dark scenes, for first time I watch it and with the Note video app.
I changed to MX Videoplayer and same video, suddenly all black clipping WAS GONE and a perfect playback without any more clipping. This is first time ever i watch all videos, without any black clipping and i was totally surprised. I tried play it again on Notes video player and NO black clipping at all.
Then I tried with youtube app, that can see clearly on most videos there and still NO BLACK CLIPPING!
This is totally weird for me, I just dont know what happened and why suddenly all these black clipping at dark scenes that I had with the phone suddenly are gone?
Today I watched the same video and the black clipps are back!
Anyone have experienced this weird behaviour before and why black clippings gone one day and comes back another day? Simpel is, what the heck is going on?
Its a strange issue. With my note it seems to depend on how the video is encoded. Some 720p files play fine, others I get the black block effect. But I am now pretty sure the screen is fine as some videos with lots of black / dark scenes play perfect. No one seems to be able yo lock down what is causing it, me included.
Encoding can definitely affect the banding. H.264 is usually fine, but DivX is nearly unwatchable at equal bitrate.
Hi, just tried this. I have tried sevral HD videos that I have on the SD card and some movies from Youtube and other webs. I can no longer see black level clipping. Rendering looks a little more blocky on some flat areas, like it was 16 and not 32 bits. But hell, black clipping was much more visible.
So if this is just a video driver or decoder issue, I hope Samsung puts the fix on the final ICS ROM. A clearly visible bug with an easy software fix cannot be left unsolved.
I am really going to sell my Gnote and go back to SGS2 because of this BLACK CLIPPING
Just proves its not a screen issue but something else.
Was obvious thought because black clipping was not truly everywhere
Lol

Fellow optimus black and android users.....whenever i try to watch a full movie on the device...halfway through, the video gets choppy(the video plays a little slower) and there is a discernible audio-video lag...it has happened with all the movies i have watched so far(all good quality dvdrips which worked perfectly fine on the laptop).......and adding to it the music player opens randomly and arbitrarily while watching movies..which really is annoying..i dunno why it happens.......i have tried the stock player,mx player as well as mobo player.....but the result is the same....Can anyone help me with this??is this a problem only on my device or are there others out there who have experienced the same?Some help on this issue would be appreciated
P.S:The device is brand new and it's barely a week(as on may 23rd) since i purchased it and have watched 8 movies on this with the same result.
anything under 720p should play just fine. maybe you have some background apps running that might affect the player.
you should update your software. that will surely solve the glitch.
off: how come the cowon d3 which is inferior in terms of specs can play full hd mkv but the ob can't?
Hmmmm.......okk Mr Orange i'll try your suggestion and come back to you..thanks for the tip anyway...........
Sounds like some sort of buffering issue as a result of RAM issues either inherently from hardware or more likely some background services.
Have you tried running the movie in s/w or h/w mode? Changing the bit depth?
What software are you running? Stock Froyo, Gingerbread or a modded OS?
Funky Ganja.....it's gingerbread, the stock version

I think the Nexus 4 is an awesome device, but I have a few issues with it that I haven't seen mentioned.
Screen artefacts: On a grey background if I turn the brightness up to maximum I have two strips running vertically down the screen. They are barely visible unless at full brightness, even then you can hardly see them. The best place to see them is in the notification area, I can see them best in a dark room.
Audio (this one is by far the most annoying): If I plug in head phones and listen to music there is a very slight hiss sound, when the music is quiet or at a silent interval. What's strange is if I pause the music the hiss sound is there for like 5 seconds then disappears. It happens with every track, including YouTube and it happens on different pairs of headphones. The hiss sound only appears if I play music, and as I said it's still there when I stop the track for a few seconds.
Image retention: If I'm on Chrome browsing the web, after about 5 minutes, if I swipe the tab away revealing the grey page with the Chrome logo, and then turn the brightness up fully the URL bar and the URL itself are often visible and even readable. It goes away after like 2 minutes but I'm worried it will eventually remain.
Could anyone try out those steps and see if they also have any similar issues? I don't think I would mind if everyone else had them, but I would be disappointed if mine was a lemon.
Thanks for the help!
EDIT: Sorry I should have made the poll multiple choice lol, I voted for the headphone hiss since it was the most annoying.
Concerning "screen artefacts": I got these, but I'm afraid they're worse, because I can barely see them at the minimum brightness when in a dark room (my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052338).
Audio: don't worry about that because I've heard that on many devices (like mp3's or my previous LG Swift); the hiss just stops after few seconds from stopping playback. Maybe it's worse than I imagine that...
To respond to the Chrome issue (ghosting): I haven't seen anything like this so far... maybe my eyes are just not as sensitive as yours

Thanks very much for your reply!
I looked at the picture you posted, and yeah that's exactly like mine I double checked and if I look really carefully I actually can see them at minima brightness, though it's definitely more visible at higher brightness.
Do you have the hiss on your device?
Have the lines, so faint I couldn't careless about them. No hiss or ghosting on mine. I think this is a case of if you want a problem with the device you will find one. Everyone has such high standards lol.

I know, I don't really mind about the lines that much (it's not that bad compared to the artefacts on an AMOLED), the image retention is a little worrying though, but the headphone hiss is just plain annoying.
I see a few people have the hiss, how bad is it? Did your other devices have it?
I have the hiss and lines.

Are you going to RMA it? Or does it not bother you that much? This is the first device I've owned that has the hiss. The sound quality is better than my S2, but that fuzzy hiss sound is annoying.
Hello my Netflix app on my nook keeps flashing a weird picture every few min during playback. Can not tell what the image is or even if its the same image. But its really weird any one else have this problem. Also video looks grainy during playback. Not like poor web signals buffer issue but like I can see the picture has tiny squares if that makes sense
Hi all, I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this as well as any possible suggestions. I have noticed when watching videos I have recorded on my phone via ANY camera app produce fine videos. When I attempt to watch them, however, there is noticeable stuttering and lag where the video does not completely freeze at all but looks almost slightly jumpy. I have uploaded a few of the videos to YouTube and noticed when watching those there is no stuttering. I have not had the chance to try Playback via PC. Does anyone else notice this? Is the phone just lagging playing the natively recorded video files back? I'm only doing 1080p btw, not 4K. Thanks!

mine plays back my 4K recorded videos just fine(of course its not in 4K on the phone when watching)..
Bump! I have this same issue. I thought it was my video recording choppy, but now that I checked on another device I see it's a playback problem. I'm on 5.1.1 T-Mobile Motorola phone.
Anyone? I still have this problem, which is only playback related. If I can give MX player to play the videos things are fine, but somehow Photos eventually takes neck default control and its a pain in my ass!
Hi there,
I have recently claimed my galaxy note 9 in insurance and they sent me a replacement device. However, when i am streaming videos on YouTube or netflix or even recorded videos from camera appears distorted and pixels are visible in dark videos. I sent this device back to samsung twice but they are unable to replicate the fault. I have tried all the resolution in display settings but the problem persists. 1080p video seems SD.
Apart from that the overall display has this unusual fadeness like an instagram fillter.
Anyone having this
