Is this image retention? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I am noticing a burned in bar on the lower half of the screen. I am not sure what to make of this? Could this just be an issue with AMOLED panels? It's not very noticeable unless you look for it, but it is definitely there. Look very hard and you'll see a bar. Would love some opinions on this.

I can't really see anything. Pictures are distorted.

Warranty it

My Galaxy S2 has the same thing.

If it is image retention you need to warranty it. Phones shouldn't get that (even amoleds) until they're a few years old (or you've had the screen turned on from the moment you got it till now on the same image lol)

Wallpaper

I actually like the color blue that Moto has used in theming the D3. One thing that is missing in my humble opinion is a decent wallpaper that goes with this. I tried the stock ones and nothing hits the spot. I am wondering if any of you out there are like I am. If you have something that works please let me know. I am very interested in finishing this off.
Try 'Xperia Play Wallpapers' from the market. It has a nice blue one I used for a while.

Here's mine that I whipped up in PhotoShop. Don't ask how I did it 'cause I can't tell you. This was my first time using PS, with the aid of a few YouTube videos.
If you'd like the original, I'll PM you a direct link to my PhotoBucket. It's an enormous image so that when cropped by the D3 "ANDROID" fills the home screen as shown.

[Q] Stuck pixel, worth returning?

It's very tiny and the it's in the top left corner in case you can't see it. Since it's only visible on a black screen at certain angles, I don't know if it's worth returning the device, especially since I'm on CM10.1 now. What do you guys think?

I have one in the upper left on the tool bar.. I only see it when I did a dead pixel test.. I never notice it in games or apps.. I have to go looking for it to see it so it's no big deal to me at this point.

Thats pretty much how I feel. There's actually a second one in the middle but both don't seem to bother me much. Hooray for such a high PPI I guess.

What happened to my screen?

Noticed this when I woke up this morning. I've never seen it before and it seems to be fading away now, but I'm still curious as to what it is. Anybody seen this before?

Sorry, I probably should have gone into more detail. To the right of the screen (Top of the pic) there are some marks on the screen that are spike shaped. The glass isnt cracked or damaged and the lcd doesnt look that way either. The device is fairly new.
LCD is bleeding, looks like. Hard to tell by that picture

[Q] Display issue

Just got this phone today and notice an area where there is a reddish tint. It is a 2 inch horizontal band in the center of the display most noticeable on white backgrounds. Is this something that might go away after a break in period? Has anyone seen this before?
I am having a similar issue to the one you describe. Mine has a bit more of a pinkish hue, and it is at the bottom of 1-2 inches of the screen. Shows up more on white backgrounds. Trying to decide if I should get a replacement or not. It's very subtle, but I can definitely see it.
From another thread:

Well, now I don't know if I should get this replaced. Took a picture with it on an all white screen...

EDIT: I will say, while I notice it on white webpages or in gmail when looking from top to bottom, that pic looks WAY worse than in person, lol.

It was available since a month on apkmirror.com
It got slower then before.....
And yeah I also get a menu with black text on a grey background
Not exactly material design, but I'll take it. At least it's better than the previous UI.
If this the material design they have got .. then I rather switch old look or switch over to iOS... damn!!!!
