Hi guys, i bought Xperia Z with broken digitizer, i ordered one new LCD+Digitizer from Aliexpress and fixed it. After that i updated soft to 5.1.1 (compilation: 10.7.A.0.228), literally after first run. Now i can see really faded colours, but not everywhere, for example text in Facebook app is more like grey instead of black, but in settings is black I know, that Xperia Z haven't got really good stock LCD, but i haven't seen it with original screen. Is it possible to kind of soft mistake or it is LCD fault? Or maybe this is OK? I included some pics down below. Sorry for my bad english, and thanks in advance.

hello.
from about two weeks I have Xperia z
recently in the lower left corner of the screen, began to appear a strange spot (visible in bright background, such as the white
background, the stain is "yellowish" the gray background is just a bright spot;
becomes more evident usually after a while (after warming up?)
I called the sony hotline -do not know the problem
sometimes it does not resemble a known Xperia S issue ?
ps display mdy70, phone from orange
ps sorry for my English. it's not my native language

what is this Gray background?
did u use any app for screen test?
anyway use this code for testing screen quality;
*#*#7378423#*#*
i saw problem in some pixel with a screen test app> like dead pixel
but after i use stock android test menu i couldn't see any problem
:good:
thx for response.
the color is gray
jpg in full screen
* bottom of the screen is hidden from view by the buttons on the screen (in service mode) but the spot is still visible
the white screen (white board jpg / LCD test pro app) is a yellowish spot-intensity depends on the time you use the screen, after you turn on the phone after a long break the stain is very little visible

Isn't that the yellow tint issue that the Xperia s suffered? You might need to get it exchanged if it doesn't go away.
As the phone gets heated up it causes the glue between the screen to melt? I forgot it was sth along those lines. Thought they fixed it.
Can you post the production date? Should be sth like 13w10 aac at the bottom of your phone.

hello after the break ...
today I received new c6603 from the operator- the same date of manufacture, the same lcd manufacturer (jdc) etc-but this time zero "bad" pixel(in previous I have 1), and at this moment no spot on screen...
in the previous xz -authorized sony service confirmed the presence of lcd defects.

Hi All,
I've just purchased an Xperia SP and I noticed something on the screen that makes me consider trying to return in, but I'm not sure whether this is actually a fault in the device or not.
I noticed that there are evenly spaced, faint lines running vertically across the screen from top to bottom. They are especially visible over light backgrounds, and although not that bad, they are definitely there. I compared the screen to that of my previous phone (Arc S) and it doesn't have these lines.
Could someone tell me whether the lines on my new phone warrant a replacement, or if this is the way it should look?
Thanks in advance!
Tom

Hello.
I purchased a Xperia SP White, i was so happy till i came to home and shuttded up without tags, and surprise! the colors are poor in the display
Truely that was too sad because the person from Sony told me... buy a SP and not a ZL its better, has almost the same hardware, little differences. The i saw another SP but black and the display's colors are better, so i decided to made valid my warrinty, now i waiting for my mobile.
But the question is... anyone with a White SP has or had the same troubles, is it the mobile's color? can we see different Xperia's SP Display just for the color (black or white) =( im nervous while i wait for the answer.
Thanks.
Apologies for my english.
I have a friend who has a white SP.The colors on my black SP are much more vibrant compared to his white SP.Maybe they are using a different display on the white devices or you both have a problematic display.I hope someone knows.
Hey guys ,i have decided to get this phone and i was wondering about the colors. I really like the white one cause it looks more premium and fresh ,but how about stains and coloring? Has any of you White Z1 users experienced it? Maybe the black is better in terms of this?

Z2 costs way more + Z1 is a good upgrade over my current LG O4X ,and i think i will be good with mods too.
But for now ,the color is what im worried about.

I'm not sure about the price in your country but it is a small difference of the price in my country.
The Z1 screen had a bad viewing angle and yellowish screen.
Z1 also can be bend easily.
Just my opinion.
Btw,I prefer white colour...

In my country now it is about 70 euro which is about 100$ of difference,
and the ASF is the only one that bothers me for Z1 now ,screen seems ok ,and i guess if it bends i can get it covered under warranty as a defect.
Hi guys, I'm facing a problem with me Z1 C6903 with S/N CB51xx which I guess it's packed with JDC panel and from what I've understand, are one of the worst kind for Z1.
The colors are way to washed out for my taste, even if I look at the display dead on. I hate this....I've played with "White balance" on different settings, but didn't find anything that could fix colors being washed out. It's like, the screen is to bright from the factory to compensate the sunlight visibility, which I understand, it's really nice, but consequently the saturation gets washed out. I don't know what SONY was thinking....Opticontrast my asssss, I WANT VIVID COLORS damn it
Is there any solution to this ? A tweak in the build.prop or something, a workaround ? I'm running stock 4.4.4 / 14.4.A.0.157 btw.
Thx!
I know it's not justice for comparing the IPS desktop PC display vs Z1 display (see screenshot attachment), but just to get the idea of what I'm talking about.
Well... I didn't knew about different panels packed with different S/N groups. I have one starting with the same S/N CB512xxxx and to be honest I can't say it's bad or defective or simple placebo effect. The only thing that I've noticed is even on the highest brightness settings, my Z1 is way darker than my sister's M2 Acqua.
If it's a hardware issue as you stated then the only thing we can do about is change the panel and digitizer...
Edit: I bought mine on Germany.
