All,
I notice when there is a lot of reflection in my screen that I could see blue lines crossing from top to bottom (not sure if you can understand me).
It's more noticable when the screen is receiving a lot of light from the sun and screen is black.
Have somebody found the same issue? I can't make a picture because they are not seen.
I'm thinking to go to Vodafone and ask for a new phone or double check it with another one.
Regards,
Jordi
It is normal. The lines are the screen edges. They can be seen at the top, bottom, left and right edges of the screen when it is off.
You must be lucky then! If my guess is right it should be the oleophobic coating on the screen. And as you stated that you can see them that must only mean it was applied thicker than normal. Which means you won't likely run into fingerprint trouble anytime soon.

I have no idea what this means. Do you mean you can see lines on the screen edges or do you see blocks of little strips going from top to bottom? The first one is just the lamination of the screen, the second is just the touch sensor beneath the glass.
The lines are going from left to right through all screen (top to bottom).
It's hard to explain but if you play a little with the screen when is receiving the sun or there is a lot of light easy to see them.
For sure there is something applied more than normal or an issue screen process.
Just wanted to check if sonebody has the same issue or no as i dont have any other person to compare.
Thanks

These are blue lines and between two lines you can see blocks

Yes, that is the touch panel. Normal and unavoidable. HTC needs to go with in-cell touch to get rid of it. Even then, it might still be there.
I was surprised as i have other HTC phones like the Sensation, Touch Pro 2 and no lines shown.
Thanks for your help

Picked up my HTC One today and loving it so far, except I've noticed one thing - faint grey lines running across the screen, most notable against a white background (my attention was drawn to them in 'settings').
Others have reported it with no real conclusions being drawn:

Any idea what these are, are they the norm and what causes them? Should I attempt to swap it?
Thanks for any help.
How faint? Could be the touch-sensor.

I'm not sure how to describe how faint they are, they're not hugely noticeable and appear evenly spaced.
I think your seeing the backlight lines ..... which you notice lets for e.g when you open chrome browser to an emplty white page. right?
Same lines as keyboard flickering that you see out the corner of your eye? I feel like I'm trying to catch the elusive Bigfoot catching the keyboard flicker, but it never happens when I glaringly stare at the keyboard!

Yeah, I can notice them fairly well on a white page in Chrome. Is it normal, or a defect?
Thanks.
normal for back lit screens .... this is one reason i miss Amoled ..... deep blacks and no back light unevenness.
You see these stupid faint lines on $2k retina macbook pro too !

Right okay, they're not so much a hindrance I just wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue with my device alone. Thanks for the help .
I do believe this is the backlight lines as mentioned above. I noticed this once while outside on a sunny day while checking for scratches, not visible on regular use though.

man i thought it was my eye! lol i did notice the keyboard flicker once or twice. did not pay much attention as I was sleepy and I thought it was my eye
I have this too, it shows clearly when I'm in a white page or white color background. I hope that this is normal like someone else mentioned that this is just lcd backlight not just some batch. I hate to go through the hassle of calling them up and return it.
please post here if you have these issue too, so just to verify that this is normal.

Yeah on a white background I have the feint grey-ish lines. I think it's the digitiser.
Huh, interesting! I've never seen that before specifically looking for it but yeah, there they are. Boy are they faint though... Like you have to really look for them and have a PURE white background (for mine at least)
They do indeed correspond perfectly to the digitizer lines I was looking at on my phone earlier today ironically! If you tilt the phone on an angle under bright sun light you'll see the horizontal lines of the digitizer under the glass which match the locations. I can't imagine them being related to the backlight though because you can't see the physical structure behind the LEDs when they're on. Try seeing the back inside of a light bulb when it's on ).
Worry not I'd say.

Basically it's nothing to worry about. It's a small disturbance which is needed for your touch screen. If only they could intergrade this better like AMOLED screens do .
Definitely NOT a deal breaker!

It's definitely a deal breaker for me, I never had this kind of problem with my past phones that I used, including Iphone 4, iphone 5, GS2, GS3 and Galaxy note 1. They all have beautiful perfect screen, no smudge like brownish or grayish line and never have any problem on hardware side whatsoever.
Only with HTC One that I exchanged 3 time and still have the same problem and come with an addition of stuck pixel. Don't get me wrong, I truly love this phone, but this is too much for me, I feel like going backward if I were to use this phone daily and pretend that it's normal. they need to do something with their QA until then I'm done with HTC.
For those who are seeing these grey lines, how are they oriented on your screens? Mine has diagonal lines across the entire screen, which seems really odd to me. They're especially visible on white and light backgrounds. They almost look like fingerprints, excpet that they're under the screen surface...
The thing is, this is my second One (returned the first due to stuck pixels) and I never noticed lines like these on the first one, even though I scoured the screen very closely looking for dead/stuck pixels.

The are horizontal lines. The thing is when you are looking for a dead pixel you will not notice the lines. Look under a bright light you will see the touch sensor under the glass .
I can't see any lines on a white background. Digitiser lines are visible, barely, in bright sunlight at really harsh angles. I'd take this over the burn in and ghosting present on all AMOLED screens including the GS4 , any day of the week.

If you never had screen issues on SGS2 and SGS3, as well as galaxy note 1, then you are extremely lucky, and now you are extremely unlucky to have issues with the ONE. Burn in and ghosting is present on all samsung amoled displays.

Yeah, that's different from the issue I'm having then. The lines I'm seeing on my screen are visible on bright backgrounds and like I said, they're diagonal.
Anyone else experiencing visible blacklight from the screen edges? I have a very pronounced strip of blacklight coming from my right hand side when viewing bright content from a slight angle. Compared to the other side, it looks like a defect.

It`s totally normal the led`s are not on the back, but on the side of the screen and a light guide channels the light across the screen, this is what happens on every lcd screen, the word back-light is an misnomer.
EDIT: so the white led`s are at the right side of the screen and light goes across the screen to the left side, that is why the light does not show on the left side as much.
But the light should not be excessive., if it is get it replaced.
John.
Yeah. I know that this is how edge led lit LCD's work. But does every H1 owner have this clearly visible strip along one edge?
I can see it to a much lesser extent on my father's H1.
My old HOX does not have this at all. The HOX screen even looks better as it seems like it is floating on the glass surface!

I have check my One five times for dead pixels and for backlight leakage and i saw nothing.
I just checked for backlight leakage again using lcdtest at full brightness though all the colors, and mine is very very slight, really nothing at all
Yours is quite bad, if it`s bothering you get an exchange, but you dont know what you will get.
EDIT : I had a HOX and the display was perfect, but after 2-3 days i had a yellow patch show up, and i returned it and got an S3 instead.

Thanks. Anyone else care to check their screens? I have the opportunity to send it in for a repair, but unsure if I want to be phoneless the next few weeks...
I just got my Nexus 6 today and not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me or not. I can see a discoloration of white colors when the brightness is turned down, and if there is a white background the right side of the screen looks slightly darker than the right side.
Just checking to see if this is just my screen or did they intend a slight difference there.
The right side of this guy's screen was a bit darker

haha I just came to point that out!
This seems to be a common issue with AMOLED displays.
I went to the tmobile store to get a nano sim card and the nexus 6 display unit had the exact same issue.
erica griffin mentions the same issue with her note 4 at around the 20min mark.

You can exchange your phone, but there's no guarantee you'll get a better display.
I would just live with it if its not too bad as this is just a characteristic of AMOLED screens.
It's not bad, I can only notice it with a white background and when the brightness is lowered. With color it looks fine.
I seen the other thread, my screen still works just the color looks a little off.

Does anyone get any inconsistent light bleed at the bottom of the screen, I know light bleed is normal in current screen technology, i'm just curious, top and left/right side looks fine on my unit, it's just the bottom, I will not return my unit as it isn't realy consider a defect.

Come to think of it, you can only see it if you are on the lock screen using the white, rose or white background, I did notice this as well on the other units before I chosen this one as my final one.
I have a slight light bleed on the bottom right hand corner. i only notice it if i really look for it,. it only shows on brighter colors. Only thing im afraid of is it getting worse.. my xperia z3 compact had the same issue, but way worse. it was yellowish, so i think it was the glue melting or something. whats crazy about the z3 compact having the issue is; i bought the phone with a cracked display and sent it to Sony to fix/replace everything that was broken and i received it like that. i havent owned one IPS display device without having light bleed.
PS. i have the xperia x, non performance.
No light bleed here. You're talking bottom of screen above speaker?

im talking about the very bottom right part of the bezel. think of it as if you had a white tool bar at the very bottom, you would notice it on the right edge of the screen, on the bottom portion. it goes up about half an inch. I would get it replaced, but then id be without a phone and i only really notice it if im looking for it.. still bugs me with my OCD though

I'm looking and don't see it. My only issue which doesn't affect functionality and that I ignore is that my front camera isn't quite centered in the opening. It's slightly shifted to the right. It's weird because when I check the phone I don't see any gaps even with a flashlight. But no big deal.

All I have is a row of very faint light dark light dark light....... along the bottom from one end to the other, I think its just the row of LED along the bottom, I have check many units from friends and display model, they all have this.
But since it's very faint and only shows with white or beige background, it isn't important and I don't think its a defect.

If you open diagnostics, screen test and look at the full white page.. Do you notice light in the bottom of each corner? (not the top ones, but bottom). I just got my replacement because it was bothering me on my last unit.. this one has the EXACT issue, in the exact spots (more noticable on the right side). a pure black screen looks perfect though? i just think that is so odd.
also, i do notice the black strip you're talking about, i think it has to do with those leds being visable

This issue isn't bothing me, but there is a problem I have noticed, not sure if it was their during my purchase or it suddenly just popped out, but in a white screen I do have a patch about 3mm-4mm which is white that shows up, it's much whiter than the actual screen if you have white and also shows up in a biege background, I think it's what people are calling a light bleed I guess, it's on the bottom left corner about 10mm from the left and 15mm from the bottom.
I took it to a local xperia service center yesterday, and they say it could be two reasons behind it, either something is pressing on the back of the screen or a defective LCD panel, either way they say my warranty covers it, it's a shame as It was sort of a perfect screen free from any pixel problems that I find with many xperia phones.
I will have them to service it after my holiday in early October.
