Check out how bad the backlight bleeding is on my brand new G2x.. it's terrible. boot screen, images, video's, games. all show it. This app called DRAW! gives you a blank canvas to draw on, look at the difference.
MyTouch4G on left, G2x on the right, see how bad my bleeding is. I think a need a replacement for sure.
Mine doesnt have any leakage at all
I agree you need a replacement
Mine did. I sent it back. Not because of the light leackage though, I didn't notice it unless the screen was blank
I sent it back because of the re-boot issues. My new 2x is waiting at home for me today
Oh damn... sad for you ;(
I don't have any bleeding at all on my O2x, and i would replace it if i had that much bleeding.
But maybe you should hang on for a little wile until that phone is in stock where you bought it, so you don't have to be left without a phone for a week or so :]
bought online at tmo.com, I'm going to return it and just go buy in store so It will be faster in case I have issues again.

That doesn't look good we have here two O2X which great screen and colors no leakage...
However one with an auto reboot but thats another story.
Just go for a replacement .
Mine looks the same but i don't care much about it. Had 1 reboot in 1 month so no reason too change it for me.
That's mine (max brightness). I'm heavily struggling whether i should return it or not. I mean that's a lot of leackage but under normal conditions you don't recognize it when you don't know it's there. The only situation when you can see it quite good is in the dark when really the background on that spots is/should be pure black.
That's major leakage. I have just a tiny bit on the very top right corner. Not enough for me to return the phone. You should return it. Coming from a super Amoled screen phone, I can now respect the screen on my former Samsung Galaxy S. It also uses no power for the black colors on the screen.
The top corners of mine is bleeding. Not that bad though!
yeah I had this problem too and returned it with a pixel broken too. the guy from the store only gave the money back because of the pixel because he said that is normal. some have more some less. well... I think we discovered why this phone is "cheap" compared to other phones. build quality
The top right corner of mine o2x is bleeding, but I don't really care.
I bought a new G2X off Craigslist. Just noticed some bleeding as well on boot up. Will T-Mobile give me any issues as far as getting a replacement in store since I bought it off someone on Craigslist?
i can't believe how much lucky i am...
i have an italian optimus dual...
and it's PERFECT
no bleeding(i didn't know before your post, and i tried it quickly... perfect lines)
no reboots etc...

Same here, but no reboot. Is screen bleeding related to reboot ?
What app can I use to make the screen black like that to test for bleeding?
Try a drawing app, Multitouch Paint does it
Hi,
Just received a new One, after 9 month, because the front camera died. It is refurbished but in very good condition, no scratch whatsoever.
Unfortunately it has a strong yellow tint.
Serial begins with FA35.
Do you guys know something about this problem? Is it common? Could there be some stuff on the screen from the refurbish process causing this?

From what I've read it happened to quite a few.
It's really really on the warm side lets say, but it looks yellowish to me. Definitely less easy to read.
Checked the screen manufacturer, I've got the one made by sony-toshiba (not the samsung or the sharp).
Well I'm disappointed but if there is no "fix" or efficient tinkering, I'll let it go, I'm tired of battling between broken devices and warranties these last times. Yellowish screen it'll be.
thanks for answering

Well, this is a 100% hardware issue. So, your only option would be to send for repair. But if you dont want to deal with warranties, etc, then i think you will have to live with the defective screen
So last night I noticed that there appears to be a thin line of light coming up from above both the right and left bezel. Can anyone else reproduce this? It's most noticeable in a dark environment with the screen brightness relatively high.
Red line indicates where the light leakage comes from.
here are some actual pics. I just want to know if this is normal or not. Thanks
Nope, your phone should not do that. It appears your screen inst adhering as it should. If I were you I would take it back and get a new one if you're in your 2 week grace period.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I'm not. But I've reached out to Samsung and they acknowledged the defect. Hopefully they'll send me a like-new replacement.

mine has the same problem here!! should i replace it??thanks
So in the end I did end up getting a replacement because of this. Turns out I'd totally regret it because this is actually normal behavior.
The replacements I got had far worse issues such as yellowing screen, overheating, and rotation issues. And on top of that all of them still had the light bezel bleed. Ugh.
got today my S9 midnight black and its even worse than on the s8. light leak also on the bottom, additionally plus the light leak above front cam.
also dust in the frame of the fingerprint sensor.
oh samsung oh samsung.....
at least the stereo speakers are fantastic i have to say. display is also better balanced in white and color shift terms. not perfect but fine and acceptable but this light leaks are so annoying at evening during youtube.
My S9 doesn't have any of this./

I put the brightness at 100% in a dark room and I cannot see any light around the screen edges.
Is there a particular way to hold it?

you only need to go to settings with 100% brightness and it should be directly visible. maybe change slighlty the viewing angle but in my case this was not necessary. i have contacted samsung online shop now about this. hoping for a flawless unit.
If there's light leak it's almost certainly not water proof. Definite replacement.
I have a thread for the same issue. I have it down the sides of the device. In process of getting a replacement aswell. I'd suggest the same
That light "leak" is most likely because it's a curved glass... I'm pretty sure there is nothing Samsung can do about it except put black paint on the edge?? Which would look really tacky...
Also, you are showing it with high brightness is very low light environment... Something you would never do in real life... Wtf is your point?
My s9's earpiece crackles at medium-low volume, other than that i have no light bleed or dust anywhere. I already started the RMA process
i got same leak on top of front camera but very minimal and can see only one angle, it wont bother me, hope it wont effort water damage
I have only a little part on the front cam? can this injury waterproof resistance? can i get replaced?
It's not a big problem but if i can get replaced i will return it back from seller. I've never noticed this problem since i've seen this post.
Alright guys this thread has been cleaned, Lets keep the language down

becouse many of these devices have this minimal effect i think waterproof is fine still
Has anyone else had the problem of the light bleeding through on certain colors? On the left side of mine, there's a white-ish hue coming through. I chatted with LG to see if it's a known issue. They told me to reset the device. Or send it in for repair.
See pic..may be hard to tell.
Does it affect viewing content? If not it's technically not worth it, unless ur super picky
Sometimes it does. When anything dark except black is on the screen..it's shows. Kind of annoying too.
Hmm ii see, have you try Factory resetting it first
Same!
Did you ever find a resolution? I'm on my second v40 with the same issue. After a while, the screen kept flashing when I would put it to sleep. I had to swap the phone out.

No. I just let it go. Figure I'll let it go to it burns out. It seems to be getting worse tho. Thought about sending it in

The first one I got the week the phone came out. This one I got in December. Both from T-Mobile.
The left side of my screen by the volume buttons is green and it's driving me nuts.
I haven’t used a v40 yet, but I did see multiple v30 devices with this issue. For the v30 at least you could look closely at it and the light is bleeding through the gap between the “screen” and the side frame of the phone. I say “screen” because the issue is the bezel doesn’t properly cover the gap between the screen and the body which causes the light bleeding.
You obviously can’t fix this without getting a new phone. However, I would take a guess and say eventually more and more phones will get this issue over time. Because as the phones age glue or whatever else holds the screen to the body will wear and possibly develop this gap. Another problem is bending. Even the slightest little bend will cause a problem, even without other physical damage.
Having same issue on my att v40, once you see it it's hard to not notice it, thinking about sending it to LG for replacement.

Now that it's been mentioned I looked but luckily nothing showing up on mine
Here is my screen. What do you guys think? Hard to see those in everyday use, but def can see them here and there. To test it I suggest you put uniform grey/dark grey color image on your screen and then you'll see it. In my case basically whole right side is and issue plus top part around the notch. Thinking about sending it to LG for replacement.
Can you guys sound off on this with some pics if possible, to see how bad my case actually is?
Appreciate y'all!

Yeah, take another picture in a dark environment. I'll take some photos of mine later. I have few issues on mine also. But only visible on very low brightness and brown/grey colors. Also one very tiny almost invisible to see stuck/dead pixel.

That's not dark at all, im talking in a dark pitch black room.
Take a picture with full brightness On and low brightness On, with the light in the room off preferable at night time.

In pitch dark it's only more visible. Pics I took show the issue pretty clear anyway.

You basically lost the lottery panel. I would exchange if i were you and it bothers you. Mine is pretty even all around except for when on low or mid brightness and on grey/brown colors.
I'll show you what mine looks like later tonight.
I don't get your argument man. If yours is pretty even you don't have an issue. I clearly do.

Re read what I said. To some degree it is not completely even. There is no such thing as perfect OLED panel, no panel is the same. Mine has it's issues, alot of it can be subjective. Your's is on the pretty bad scale in my humble opinion and it would be worth the hassle of going thru warranty repair involving sending it in, praying, and waiting a couple weeks without a device. I feel like I am repeating myself at this point, if you still want me to upload the photos it's fine. Sorry if i have a harsh tone, I have the flu.
