screen comparison between 128gb and 64gb, not the same? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6

I recently got my 128gb, and returning the 64gb tomorrow, did some comparison on the screen, 128 on the left side.

Light bleeding on the camera at low light condition
Brighter on the 128gb(letft). Stripes are from the camera(glare)

Different display modes?

Takes a few hundred hours for the pixels to settle. In a month they both would probably look similar.

This. Make sure your display mode is set to the same setting on both devices.
Light bleed does suck though. I had that on pretty much every HTC device I've owned.

Same "Basic" display modes (as posted on the pic).

While this may sound crazy! This is normal (that there not exactly the same). While you might be able to keep comparing different S6 until you find a pair that "matches", or have the same screen brightness any random pick won't be the same...there are many factors and as simple as different build dates etc...
On the S6 now and have had every galaxy since the first one and several HTC's before. I always by in pairs (keep the wife upgraded) and have noticed this every single time and not just with the Samsung's. Just how it is.

Alright, thanks

This is 'normal'. I am on my 3rd S6 because the first two had that ugly pink tint to it. My 3rd phone not only has no pink tint, but also a really crisp white display. Compared to the previous phones, they were much more yellow.

I'm on my 3rd as well, no pink but it does have some green at the bottom sadly. It's not too noticeable, and I don't think I want to go through the hassle of getting a 4th replacement. There's a whole thread on it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/getting-replacement-s6-due-to-screen-t3074865

All the AMOLED displays for the S6 are going to have slightly different factory calibration on all profiles. So no two S6 displays are going to be the exact same.

There is no such thing as light bleed on AMOLED screens.

Exactly. Basic knowledge
AMOLED does not have a backlight, it lights up each individual pixel which is why you can have inky blacks, because it simply turns off those pixels, unlike LED screens that use a black image with a light behind it giving off a grayish background.

So how do you call that on the picture i posted? That only happens when i opened my camera app on total darkness. A little bit brighter on the botttom

light sensor is different in the camera (more sensitive or uneven)

I noticed a change in my screen after installing a tmobile update. Originally there was a completely black screen on the lockscreen, but after the update it almost appeared that there was a sort of gradient almost representing a light bleed.

LCD display

I broke my digitizer and LCD display and bought the replacements via ebay. Both were "OEM" or whatever.
I replaced them, and the digitizer seems to have worse multitouch than before. I understand that it sucks, but my 2 points never used to get confused when they crossed axis, (or so I dont remember them getting confused).
But also, my LCD seems to have a pink hue to it. I definitely know mine did not have this before the break. I read over a lot of posts here and elsewhere about the pink hue problem. This doesn't appear to be a browser problem, but an actual hardware issue.
Should I return the LCD and get a replacement and hope that the other one I get will be regular, or are my odds slim to none. My previous one was NOT pink whatsoever. And this new one I noticed it right off the bat.
N1 screen isnt LCD... did you get an LCD or an AMOLED?
Well it's LCD with LED backlight. I believe the company I got it from off Ebay got the OEM product directly from Samsung.
It is the same as the one I had before. The part number on the display is the same as the one on my original cracked one, 60h00287-00p

So the colours are a lot more bland and the black isn't really black? You would most definitely know if you got an LCD, it would look ugly compared to what you had.

Are you SURE its an LCD? as andrew said, the nexus only has an AMOLED screen which is a completely different technology
if it is indeed an amoled, then you may have gotten an ATT nexus amoled which is known to have a purple/pink hue
Well what I'm saying is the p/n written on both displays are the same, both from samsung. Which means, yes, it is a AMOLED display.
I don't think it's a case of an "at&t" display being sent to me. My nexus one was for at&t, and I didn't have such pink issue. But this new display does.

well china sells a lot of fakes and they can match up stuff like that.....
and not all nexus display this kind of saturation. Do you have a picture so we can see the extent of the hue?
it doesn't show up much in pics.
but I think it's beginning to fade. I've been leaving the display up with a red color. and alternating through white and black.
Here's a pic I took. But again, it doesn't show up much in it.

nah its noticeable on the keyboard and borders. use if for a while and see if the screen conditions itself. that is the same hue i believe that some att users were mentioning
It's worse to the eye than in the photo though.
I'll see if it fixes itself.
hopefully it just needs to be broken in
At 100% brightness, the pink tink is barely noticeable.
Actually, anything above 50% brightness and it seems fine. It's when it gets lower than that, it starts to look pink

Lines in display a normal thing?

I got a moto X a week or so ago and have notice faint lines running mostly vertically but also horizontally in the display, mostly visible in solid grays and white. I did my research and know that this is an issue with the manufacturing process of this generation of AMOLED, but I'm wondering if this will be prevalent in every single moto x or if it's just that some are worse than others (worth an exchange?)? Coming from an HTC M8 on another carrier, the fact that these solid colors look so weird with the line running through them is very disappointing (otherwise I actually like the phone better). I'll post a picture when I get a chance.

That doesn't sound normal. I would replace the device asap.

I just filled my screen with white looking for these lines and couldn't find anything. Probably a defect. Contact Motorola.
Easiest ways see it is to download the LCD test app and display full screen gray. If you don't see it, then I definitely have an issue because it looks like a textured background rather than solid color.

Just downloaded this app and filled the screen with gray and looked at the screen at 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% brightness and I see no lines.

Alright, thanks. Guess I'll be asking for a replacement.
Here are a few pics of my display for reference (hard to see on camera, but you can see cross-hatching in the lower area of the zoomed out pic and vertical lines in the close-up).

I found another forum describing it accurately as a linen-like appearance to the display rather than clear rendering. Very strange. In contact with Motorola now.

That's annoying. I may try to get one replacement to confirm this as I can't seem to find any display models locally anymore. I didn't like the display on my GS3 when I owned that and my latest foray back into amoled has been disappointing again.

Uneven brightness/washout on display

I'm not really sure what to call this, because I've never seen it on an OLED screen before.
I have the T813 WiFi model.
Recently, I've noticed, when using sites or apps with a dark background (like XDA Labs), that my display's brightness is noticeably uneven. Holding it in landscape mode, with the home button on the right, the screen looks something like this:
Bottom left corner: normal, full dark colors
Top left and bottom right: coloring is alright, but not as good as the bottom left
Middle (vertically): noticeably brighter, sort of a strip of washed out color
Top right corner: the worst area, looks like the pixels were burned
Excluding the strip in the middle, this is a pretty even radial gradient from the bottom left.
I can't really take a picture of this, because it just won't show up. I just have to do my best to describe it. It's almost like the backlight is messed up, except that OLED doesn't use a backlight. The pixels toward the top right are just a lot brighter than the ones on the bottom left, so they look whiter or washed out. It's somewhat strange. I've seen a few burn tests of SAMOLED screens (so Samsung) and noticed they turn white when heated and tend not to restore. I do put this in a computer bag, but I don't know what could be in here that would cause enough heat near one corner to do this (the CPU is top left, which is alright in color).
Has anyone seen this before? Should I get a warranty replacement? Do I need to describe it better?
if it bother you that much, just do warranty replacement.
my friend did it for his T715, the new unit look slightly better
but of course still no 100% uniformity.
Here's how mine somewhat looks (intentionally raised brightness to better show the effect. My power button also seems to stick a bit sometimes.

Yeah. After further testing there's definitely something I don't like.
Using the Display Tester app in the Play Store, I set the 4-gradient test to use the same dark grey color across the screen (1A 18 1A). Results weren't pretty......

Hmm. I'm kind of glad to see it's probably not a defect, but also kind of annoyed that it's normal. It'd be great if someone else could say if they have the problem too.
I have something like this to. Its annoying but only really visible with greys. Its relatively common with AMOLED screens, my S6 edge+ has it as well, but only very faintly.

Moto x4 Display look like this or defective unit?

I just bought moto x4 and it's display look's darker then any other normal display. Look at Images

Why does display looks red when the color is Orange. Is this real colour of the display or is display defective?
Are you on vibrand mode? Try on normal, maybe will make difference.

Unfortunately, X4's display is supersaturated when you use vibrant color option in display settings. and normal mode is under-saturated.
a custom kernel can solve this issue by small amount, but it's still can't fix it to normal levels. it's a real issue for me too specially after coming from Nexus 5x's awesome colour correct screen.

EDIT : Definitely, I previously used moto z which has AMOLED panel with vibrant colors but after using this the screen seems dark and I think It will take time to adjust to it. Overall a great device.

I think they have done this to please those guys who love punchy colors of Amoled displays. stock android has nothing to do with it it's just how they have made/calibrated vibrant profile.
the thing is looking good =/= perfect. people don't get it and always demand Amoled screen. thanks to that moto has made IPS panel too saturated. it can be fixed somewhat with custom kernel. but i won't recommend it right now because we don't have proper TWRP yet.

I can live with this if I can get used to this.
it goes super hyper vibrant only in powersaving mode, it's on purpose and there is no way to turn it off. othherwise it's not that bad
I observed the same as well. When I compare my Moto X4 to any other highend phones like the S8, iPhone 7, HTC U11, etc,.. the X4 seems to be darker (a bit saturated).
The issue is that all pics look dark on the phone so when I edit something and post it say, on Instagram. It will look really bright.
It's hard to edit now coz I don't know how it will look like on other devices.
I hope they will have another color mode aside from the vibrant and standard. Somewhere between the two.

Display panel defects

Having the phone for over 3 weeks now and I've noticed in very low brightness (1-10%) that display is unevenly lit. Dark gradient on the right side. Visible especially if your view a dark grey solid colour.
Is this an OLED issue or do I have a defective panel?

This is something related to DC dimming feature. Try disabling DC Dimming option in Display setting and check if you notice any difference.
I experience the exact same issue... on my Pixel 3a XL.
Came here because I'm evaluating a new purchase, and the first post I read is about this problem.
Meh!

I think since these are budget devices (relatively) with amoled screens they cut corners in QCC.

I only experience the exact same problem but only when the DC dimming is on, otherwise everything is fine even on the lowest brightness. (except ofcourse the smearing issue when scrolling through dark background on low brightness)

If it's any consolation then even the one plus 7 (just checked my friend's) has the same issue. The notch also affects screen around it.
I have this on my 9TP. Only visable at very low brightness in a dark room and grey background.
Looks like a piece of tape what's folded up. Poor QC but it doesn't bother me.

As mentioned in the article, it's normal. Hope this settles everything.
compared my K20 with another
Tested my Redmi K20 with another K20 and found that only my device has uneven brightness on left side of panel. Red many threads that its common flaw among AMOLEDS but there isn't any stat what % of AMOLEDS. Moreover didn't find any clue why this happen in first place.
My device shows visible uneven grey at 10~15 % brightness.
