Does anyone is having light leak issues with your devices from the end of the bezel?
Sent from my XT1068
Looks like that's a "normal" problem:
http://youtu.be/1lAHbpc8fW4?t=7m35s
I don't think it's normal since i don't have any light bleeding, even under full brightness in a dark room.
Mine seems to be horrific at night in full brightness

To clarify, I don't see that anyone has mentioned that this bleeding seems to be present on the WHITE MODELS... Detroit Borg showed this, but then - again - he had the WHITE model.
Ask for replacement bro..
Only thing you can do..
I have a black one and don't seem to find this issue even in Full brightness, may the one you got has some gaps.
Did the light bleeding start after you performed the bend-test or before?
In my black version no issue, you can ser in Erika review in YouTube this issue in the white version
I had replaced 2 Moto Gs before I got a good working piece. One of them had this issue, get it replaced if it annoys you, not really that big of a deal, but hey, if it's irritating why not?

Hello.
Just received brand new Moto G 2014 5" version and comparing the screen colors to Moto G 2013 4,5" version, makes me quite depressing. I noticed, that 2014 model screen is noticeable darker and yellow compared the 2013 model screen, which is bright and blue, I just can't believe that 294 (2014) vs 326 (2013) ppi pixel density is so visible?
My first opinion was, that screen is definitely faulty, as I also noticed such difference once before, when my 2013 model was replaced - screen of the new one was much more brighter.
However, if all 2014 version screens are so dark, then we need a fix ASAP, as right now display brightness in auto mode is too low , it's difficult to use the phone in normal daylight, only manual brightness editing helps, but this is workaround which uses more battery.
I did sent same description also to Motorola forum, hoping that Motorola engineers puttting Moto G 2013 and Moto G 2014 model side by side, compare screens brightness in auto mode, and edit the firmware and publish it.
Right now I ordered a replacement as I just can't believe what I saw.

Update your device to latest Build version KXB21.85.23 size is around 120 MB
1. Touch issues solved
2. Auto-brightness issues solved.
3. Added Google Now Launcher​
The color temperature on 2014 model is warmer (shifted towards < 6500K) as compared to 2013 model (shifted towards >7500K). Its perfectly okay. And regarding display pixel density its quite obvious that the clarity is not that great as compared to 2013 model.

The update is already installed, but I don't see improvement. I can live with less colorful screen, but I can't live with much darker screen - http://www.upload.ee/image/4293011/DSC_0760-1.jpg
I think Motorola should adjust 2014 model screen brightness to same level as 2013 have. Or add option to adjust screen color ourselves, like some Xperia models have.
I never use auto brightness so I don't know about that, but my screen isn't dark at all
White balance is better with new moto g. I use both and with original moto g the white ballance is way to blue. I also have some backlight bleeding issues with original one. Autobrightness is set too low on the new moto g 2nd, especially in low light environments, but if you manually boost brightness, it is bright as hell.
I received my Moto X about 3 weeks ago, but noticed on white/light backgrounds, the screen appeared grainy. So last week I called Motorola to ask for an exchange, which they did. I received the new Moto X today, but it's suffering from the same grainy screen as my other one. Does anyone else have this issue with their X? My old Note 2 did not suffer from this, and they are both AMOLED screens.
Also interesting to note, the first Moto X was assembled in the US and the second one in China, so I assume the screens came from two different batches.

Yes, even I had this issue but after comparing with others I realised it's normal. They grainy are only visible if you really pay attention and scroll slowly. Eg. Gmail app.
I've learn to live it though.
Moto X 2014
I never thought to explain it as "grainy", but yes, I have it too. I almost RMAed it for that as it sometimes looked like lines going across the screen when scrolling. Actually, I did RMA it, but moto couldn't find it in there system for a week. I finally got the email, but haven't called them back yet.
same here... its more like texture, and you do see the lines when scrolling.
Is it worth trying to RMA it again until I get one with a good screen? I would certainly consider this a flaw, especially when spending $500 on a phone. I truly do enjoy the phone otherwise.

It's the pentile screen nothing wrong with it. I have the grainy screen too.
Grainy is normal. Horizontal or vertical lines are not - also tint issues are not normal. My screen is 50-60% yellow tinted and the remainder white, not normal - rma'ed it and awaiting my replacement.
Thanks for the help everyone. I am also noticing faint horizontal lines on both Moto X's on white/light backgrounds, but the replacement from China seems to have more than the original, and has a red tint to it. I'll be calling Motorola in the morning.

Bad qc on amoled. It's a gamble...
Yes. You can another thread that I created: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/help/static-lines-bands-screen-yes-please-t2935981
Currently I am just using the device since there's absolutely no guarantee the next one would be any better given that these issue are common. The QC is really bad.
Hello!
Yesterday I bought brand new Moto X 2nd gen. Just as I turned it up for the first time I noticed some weird grain on screen. Its more visible on brighter color a like white or even green-grey color lollipop uses when notification bar is pulled down. I didn't see much people reporting this problem so I decided I will post here first. Some people were saying this is how it is on every Pentile Matrix amoled screen, but I have to disagree. Never seen any galaxy suffering for this problem before. The grain is most noticable while scrolling and its always at the same place.
Amoled is always a part of a reason why I bought this phone-never had problems before. I like everything about this phone, so I really wouldnt want this to be a deal-breaker. I still have 2 years of warranty, but I am afraid that next moto would have same problems. Can some guys verify they don't have this un-clean like grain over whole display?
Motorola Moto X 2nd gen. XT1092
Model: SM3958AN7T1
Lollipop 5.0.1 - 5.1 (updated recently, problem persists)
Help me out guys, what should I do? Go for replacement?
Thanks, H

Go for a replacement. I have no grain at all.

I'm not really sure by what you mean by grain, but my display is absolutely fine. Bought my XT1097 2 days ago.. I think you should go for a replacement

Thank you both for quick answers. Well I might have gone for grainy instead of grain. Try googling grainy effect, and you will see where I am aiming .
I am contacting place where I got my phone from now. I will let you know.
Thanks, H

You fixed screen?
Hello guys, my Moto X 2014 (XT1092) suffers from the same problem. I can see this grainy effect on the screen especially with white backgrounds, on the material keyboard and notification bar. What I have to do?
AMOLED just like that. White is not as white as on LCD/ IPS. It is normal
Well, a bit O-T here, but I thought I'd ask: how's the low brightness level on the phone?
Are the whites really turning blueish or other shades and how bright is it? I ask because I read one comment before where the person was saying that the display temains quite (too) bright even at the lowest setting and was saying that this is not a very good phone for night reading....
I bought (and returned a LG G2 before where it was the opposite: screen was too dark for normal use with any setting lower than 35%...)
Any input on this?
Edit: nevermind, soon after posting this I watched a video review where the guy was showing and saying that brightness can be dimmed down a lot and that it was fine for pre-bed time reading.
Brightness of my Moto X at mid level, automatic. Can still see the problem under the sunlight, with my eye near the screen.
i have the exact same problem too !! is this normall. it makes the screen look REALLY bad!!
Guys, Amaz sent me the replacement and the problem is still there.
My friend have just bought a Moto X 2014 At&t variant with Lollipop 5.1 installed in it. I noticed a weird thing. On its display, it has water mark of Motorola logo and and some other Text and Icons. A screen shot is also attached. I have searched over internet and unable to find the solution.
Any body know why is that so as another friend told me that it is a sample unit and its display (Panel) has these watermarkings.

Yes, that's probably screen burn-in. It's a very common problem for oleds. There's no solution, it's a problem with how these screens work.
If it's a new phone, I'd suggest he returned it.
