Good day
On my galaxy note 5 i see this a dotted patter under my screen especially when the screen is a light colour. It actually looks like a screenshot taken of a game. When i put a black wallpaper i don't see it at all. What could the problem possibly be?

So i have been trying to get a black background that is truly black.
everything i have tried has left a slight hue on the background. back 2 black is not supported or i would have tried that.
is there any way to get background to remain off completely and only light the pixels for the icons, clock, notification etc etc. i notice the info bar at the top is darker than my black background and no matter what i cant get the background to go completely black.
my reasoning is if i make the icons into line art, and keep as much of the screen off wherever i can i can stretch battery life even further. it worked wonders on my gs2. But having a slightly glowing background ruins all that.
I'm not sure whether it's supported, but you can try making a monochrome bitmap-file (.bmp) in MsPaint. At least you are sure this way that the black is truly black.
Have you tried using different launchers? Are you sure the hue is not just your icons giving some 'bleeding'?
thanks, i will give that a try.
its the same with go launcher and touchwiz. its actually magnified on the lockscreen showing lots of banding.
Try this pic. I use it on mine and looks black

My first Note did this so I sent it back. My new one does not do it.
still no luck, apps with black backgrounds look fine.
i tried an all black bitmap and that didnt work either.
is there any way to turn background off and just leave it blank? would that give me a pure black background?
like i said i dont think its a hardware problem since the app backgrounds look deep black unlike the wallpaper. i did see something about the note only being 16 bit and that was causing weird display issues due to scaling or something, blah blah.
its using 24bits
thats right, the note is 24 bit and the os operates in 16 bit currently, right? either way i need to find a way to fix it.
I used a plain black GIF. Works fine for the home screen background, but on lock screen it has barely noticeable dark gray lines in it until you touch it and the unlock symbol appears.
here is the one i made
this black is one color 24 bit png on my note it is completely black at any brightness. let me know if it works. 800 x 1280 black correct dpi blackground

or download "no wallpaper" from the market - simple app that just adds a wallpaper that is totally black. Works a treat.
Try an app called COLOURS by Tim Clark
Hello, I noticed that on black videos or pics my black not mixing with grey color very well. I add screenshots to explain about my situation.
I just noticed that pics on PC looks fine. I try to take pics with camera.
It could be Screen BUG? Or ROM? But I had this on SlimBean and JellyBam.
it is there on most of the Note Screens. Could be because how the color is rendered.. there has been talks of resolving this issue but nothing as of now
I read that some apps can help, I tried Filter Your Screen. added new filter with custom colors and it dissapiers. Now pictures and videos looks good, but Black color is not so much BLACK like before. and I need to turn it on that app :/ Its annoying.
I can't seem to use a static wallpaper that fills the screen in portrait mode. If I try to add my own from a hi res picture it hangs for a few seconds then returns to the standard green leaf background regardless of which paper I had selected. The standard ones aren't big enough to fill the screen. Live wallpapers are fine though and fill the screen. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a work round?

Same here. I got CM10 installed and managed to get a nice full-screen background made from my gallery that was downloaded from Interface Lift. It is VERY annoying, as the standard backgrounds are smaller than the 1920x1080p screen, so I'm left with a black screen.
Any help would be appreciated!
Looking at the screen very closely, I can see what can sort of be described as screen dithering. This is most obvious with a solid colored background or an app with a solid colored background. Looking closely, you can see that all the pixels are not uniformly one colored.
I don't see this on my Galaxy S3.
Anyone else notice this?
Edit: To be more accurate, it seems like it's a screen hardware issue. There are faint horizontal, fuzzy, pixelated lines.
Can somebody tell me the purpose of this grey shade at the top of the status/notification area when you have a pure black wallpaper it only shows in the home screen
I have noticed the same thing. It's for sure not burn in.
I also have it and so does my wifes not sure whats the cause for it
Here is a screenshot of a screenshot showing the grey bar in the center and nothing at the top when viewed on a solid black background.
Edit: I only see it while on the home screen.
Go to the theme store, find the black wallpaper, apply it.

Use a live wallpaper like simple or multipicture and set the image you want to get rid it. This is the only thing that has worked and trust me I've looked hard as it was driving me crazy
Yes use ....multilivewallpaperpicker from playstore...works like a charm...
