Im very picky so first I notice a tiny chip in the surrounding metal and I can feel it by hand, but I thought oh well this is ok if the screen is perfect. but then when I turned the brightness to max, I noticed light bleed at the upper corner. It's also noticeable at 50%. RMA asap.. shame I just got it today, the replacement could take up to 3-5 weeks. Actually I ordered this for my bro who is oversea so I need to get the replacement before the last week of january for my uncle to bring it oversea to him, and this makes me worried if it takes till february. I don't wanna send a defected one to my bro and he's really looking forward to this.

This is the extent of my light bleed (pic below).
I've decided to keep it regardless; I don't invest much time looking at a blank screen when using my phone but if your brother does, godspeed and good luck.

I have 3 noticeable light bleeds all on top. Nothing like the poster above me. But I'm definitely keeping mine.

Turn any LCD to full brightness and you get it, the only reason you don't see it from the media is they all have auto brightness on which solely exists to hide this IMO..
If it bothers you then use OLED.
The so called amazing Retina screens Apple have used have the same issue when you turn it up full brightness....

Wao... actually mine is better than this (only 1 at the top right corner). But consider this is a phone ..light bleed is not acceptable whatsoever. On a tablet it might be ok. I can keep this N4 till I het the replacement. Hopefully the replacement will be better.

You might be right... I have a S3 and there's zero light bleed on every unit ive seen (3 total) since its amoled. Ive never owned a lcd phone so I dont know. But if this is a common issue for lcd screen then im ok with that. I just dont wanna buy a defected one.

Auto brightness exists to save battery and increase brightness only when necessary, not hide light bleed
I find auto brightness to be perfectly acceptable on my nexus 4 (way better than gnex) and notice no light bleed . only time I notice it is on the boot screen

I have similar light bleed on my screen but I never have my phone on full brightness and at auto I notice no light bleed so I am content with that. No other issues with the phone so will not be RMA it just incase I get a phone back with other problems.

lol.. will lg ever learn? this happened on the g2x (but worse).
I have a little on the top right of my screen. I do notice it, especially since I'm coming from an AMOLED screen. This phone is easy better, and I don't want to RMA it and chance getting one with a big problem. But my Nexus 7 uses an LCD a well, and there is absolutely no light bleed. My HTC ReZound had no light bleed, and neither did my LG Spectrum... both of which use 720p LCD panels, though slightly smaller ones. So, I'm a little frustrated. But, it's still the best phone I've ever used

any amoled cannot have light bleeding because the technology works differently.
LCD screens have a light behind a liquid display the display cannot emit light and requires an alternative light source to be behind it to shine through so think of it as a sandwich (backlight) / LCD / (glass)
ideally there should be material that prevents most of the light from escaping around the LCD itself however its not a 100% seal hence you get light on the edges; small devices like phones its more noticeable cause the light does not need to travel as far making the issue seem worse. generally this is a normal part of LCD technology however if it is EXTREME you should RMA some light bleeding is normal extreme light bleed is not.
AMOLED Does not have a back light so there is no external light source that can leak out around the screen itself instead the individual pixels emit the light hence AMOLED will never have light bleeding.
so if you have a little light bleed dont RMA you might get something worse and yours is most likely fine; your just complaining about a normal and acceptable flaw in LCD tech.
I've owned 3 different n4's and they all had light bleed. Noticed all had them in the right top corner, with one unit having more bleed at the bottom left. Don't rma it unless it's pretty bad
I am thinking of getting the droid turbo. This morning i tried it in my local vz store. I noticed that when i put it on auto brightness it seems overly dim. If i put it on full brightness manually it seems fine. Has anyone else noticed that auto brightness seems overly dim. I use a galaxy nexus now and it has the same problem. Along with being hard to see in sunlight.
Thanks
Hasn't been an issue on mine.
Well I use lux and keep my auto way darker than normal so I can't comment on that. I had a gnex, I can tell you it's much easier to see this screen in sunlight, AMOLED technology has come far in the years since that phone.
Thanks that eases my concerns some.
I quit using auto brightness long ago on my s4. Same with the turbo. I have it turned up to 90-95% brightness or whatever is easiest on my eyes. No complaints.
I came from the S4, I work outside. Outdoor usability is far better than the S4. I've currently got one of the skinomi screen protectors on, it made kind of hard to see in direct sunlight FWIW. I'm awaiting arrival of a glass screen protector so it's temporary.
Also, I never used auto brightness on my S4, I'm OK with it on the turbo, its alot more responsive.
I switched from a Galaxy Nexus a week ago. It's still a bit hard to see in bright, direct sunlight but it's definitely an improvement over the Galaxy Nexus. I've found the screen is easy to see in any condition other than directly under clear-sky sun.
Let me know if you have any other questions about switching from a Galaxy Nexus.
It's a BIG upgrade.
(except I did prefer the smaller size of the GNex).
I've never used auto. Coming from my s4 this looks great...

Haven't noticed any issues with mine (and that was one of my chief concerns as I have never owned a phone with an OLED panel before.) I will admit that I haven't used it in full sunlight yet (its been rainy here since I got my phone) but even outside and under the fluorescent lights at work It seems more than bright enough so far.
Indoors or overcast situations are okay, direct sunlight... Need to block sun with my other hand to see the screen.
I'm also using lux, I personally hate the screen being overly bright. Stock auto brightness in the case is too much for me. For example with lux I actually have the brightness in the negatives when in almost complete darkness, which is way lower than what the stock lowest brightness is. The advantages to this is, it's better for your eyes, especially when it comes to your night vision in the long run and it helps with the battery

Hi all,
I like the screen image quality compared to the p9 lite. However when looking at it from a slight angle (short viewing distance, brightness high) I can clearly see diagonal lines. I'm quite sure it isn't the digitizer grid (as i know how that looks and under very bright light can see it to)
It looks like it is the pixel grid but I have seen phones with lower pixel density and at these i can't see anything similar.
Can't be the only one noticing this, what is your experience?
See pictures (around text Iphone 7) to see the lines...

Can't see anything special about the screen. Actually I'm quite surprised with the lcd quality coming from samsung's amoled. Maybe huawei is cheating with displays too
What about plastic "screen protector", did you remove it?

Didn't remove it at first. Recently received mu tempered glass protector so I switched removed the plastic one.
Still visible. And starting to be annoying.
Addes pictures to first post
Hi,
To show what i mean I attached 2 pictures to the first post
Look at the text (around Iphone) to see diagonal lines...
don't worry, ist not your eyes fooling you, i have exact the same Problem. These diagonal lines differs from brightness and angle you are looking at the phone but mostly still clearly seen. I DONT like this Feature really. Aside from this, my phone suffers from heavy battery drain when not using the phone at all. Today again coming back from work from 11am to 9.30pm having only 50% battery left. Not using it much, some reading/browsing on the net, some WhatsApp (may ten messgages) not camera and no other apps. Screen on time maybe 45min. Greenfy or Doze from the playstore are not helping any percentage.
Sometimes i really think of just buying a ****ing iPhone because slowly im sick of These Android kindergarten Problems all the time giving back phones 2 times until u get a working one. i mean we are on Android 7 right now and having super duper announced Android Doze, but still Android ist fighting with battery drain Problems as always.
Hi 'good' to hear I am not the only one seeing this. Don't like it either.
In regard to the battery, I'm not too happy about it but after the first to weeks I think it's oke. I can get a decent standy time. Didn't check screen on time. Not great not to bad I think.
Did you try clearing memory once in a while? It helps and the phone starts apps fast so not to big a problem...
Cant notice any of this on my screen with normal usage. Not putting my nose against the screen either. If i put my eyeballs about few cm from the screen, I can barely make out some of this, but thats not really how you use a phone...
Battery is pretty decent - after 21 hours of uptime (took it off charger at 4 am ish, used the phone during 8am to 5 pm for some phonecalls, facebook+messenger, instagram, little bit of web and google maps) its on 43% and shows me 9hours to go. Have you done factory reset after getting the phone? Some random apps you might not remember having can also mess with battery uptime.
I see it while using the phone at decent distance (normal use) of about 20 to 30 cm. So not pressing my nose against the screen at all.
Last night I cleared the memory and after 7 hours no battery loss. In battery viewer I have a flat line.
Are you guys experiencing light bleed from the edges of your Note 8 screen. I just got my Tmobile Note 8 yesterday.
Wow...
I was hoping to god this wasn't gonna happen again.. I hated this so much with the Note 7 -_-
It isn't bad at all when the brightness is lowered, but looks absolutely disgusting when using the phone for GPS at night.
Last thing I want is for a $1500 phone to look cheap.
Apparently this is "natural" because of the glass and how it reflects light, BUT... all they had to do was wrap the black around it to block that reflective exit alone the edges.. But they didnt.
I may just take my note 8 back over this. I couldn't stand this on my note 7
OP, you should max the brightness, show a white image, and put a credit card on top of the screen and then take a picture.
Wow! I probably would have never noticed, but I do now. Thanks! I have a VZW but it doesn't seem near as bad as yours. Luckily my case covers it so I won't OCD over it, like the bubble I have in the bottom of my screen protector, going back to geek squad tomorrow. On my s7 edge I made them change it out 3 times. :angel:

You probably aren't noticing it because it takes a relatively bright image closer to the edge for it to appear.
View a white image with maxed brightness while covering the majority of the screen, and you will literally see a white ring around the edge of the phone.
Super damn annoying -_-

After reading this post, I immediately took it out of the case, cranked the brightness up, turned the lights off, opened a web page, seen it! Aghhhh! On mine, it seems worst on the right side. Put it back in the case, took a shot, and now trying to forget it was ever there or my eyes will look for it every time, because it IS ANNOYING now that I KNOW it's there!

Sorry
If it makes you feel better, its only noticeable when the brightness is at a decent level. Plus using a case will get rid of it entirely.
I'll probably whip out the microscope and apply a fine line of black paint along the edge of the glass lol.
I wonder when they're going to get rid of light bleed. I've literally had it on every device with a screen that I've ever owned.
I thought that OLED devices weren't backlit. Blah blah blah individual pixels lit. Isn't that supposed to be a selling point of OLED screens? Where does the light bleed come from?

It happens because the glass is still thick enough to allow light to travel along the inside and exit throughout the edges.
This is such an easy fix too, which is why I don't understand why this hasn't been fixed. All they have to do is literally wrap the glass around the edges with the same material they're using the the top and sides anyway..

Ahh, ok. Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. It's different than the standard LCD light bleed then.
Hopefully I won't notice it much while it's in a case.
Zero light bleed on mine.

A blast from the past. Identical thread in the Note 7 and nearly all other forums concerning the 'edge screen design'.
It is not technically "Light bleed" That term is reserved for a phenomena (problem-fault) often common with IPS panels.
What you are seeing is......how can one write.......light escaping NOT into the screen as light bleed but light escaping from the screen.....There is a gap between the body and where the display ends, this tiny tiny tiny space, in certain situations, can indeed shine light OUT but not into the screen and there is a difference but both can be annoying IF we become OCD about it. I guess this situation is part of the edge experience? As suggested by peers, a case will stop such micro reflections or light escaping.

So this is a known issue with Galaxy phones?
I've never experienced it with the Note 7 or currently with the Galaxy S8 plus. Is this enough to get a replacement?
Wow, this thread is like dejavu, I had to really look for it with max brightness in a dark room to find it on both my note 7's. I didn't think it was a big deal but some did. If I get the note 8 I will look for it.

It sounds like you might have to go through more than one replacement to get one that doesn't do it.
Just for fun, I always follow the release of the new iPhone on Macrumors each year, and there's always a huge light bleed thread. I know (now) that this is something completely different than what happens with these phones.. People over there go through numerous replacements to try and get a perfect screen. Many never get one.
I will have my phone in a case from day one, so I guess that I won't see this.
Mine's good... no light bleed at all.
I am getting no light bleed at all. Turned my screen all the way up on a white screen and no light bleed.

None on my T-Mobile variant. I put a full white image up just to be sure.

I'm not seeing any either even with the brightness turned all the way up and various bright pictures. There's a slight change in brightness but that's to be expected with the curve but nothing like the pictures.

at least one guy on another forum has reported his light bleed and is getting a replacement in exchange.
So maybe some were built with more of a "gap" there than others.
The way my luck with electronic devices works, I'll definitely have it. Glad that it won't be noticeable when it's in a case. I won't even look for it, because then I'll know it's there for sure and it will bug me.
So I was thinking about buying this device, I am using all my savings so I won't be able to buy another one for 2-3 years so I am very concerned. How bad is the red tint issue because I usually use the phone at 30-60% brightness at daytime and 10-20% at nighttime I rarely cross 80% brightness so will the red tint become huge issue for me. Is it possible they fill fix this in upcoming batches? Or should I wait for realme X2 pro?

You should've probably posted this in the Questions section, not the Accessories section, but...
The red tint issue isn't that bad in my opinion. At 30% brightness or higher it's basically non-existent. You can start to notice it below that though, but honestly when using a phone at such low brightness in dimly lit environments do you REALLY need 100% accurate gray colors? It's not massively noticable anyway unless your looking for it. I wasn't even aware it was an issue until reading about it on here and then looked to see if my phone had it (it does), and I had already used my phone a lot below 30% brightness by then and never noticed it.
Not sure what your referring to with the heat issue, as this device has no heat issues that I'm aware of. It rarely ever gets hot enough to throttle, even under heavy gaming use. Unless your referring to the back of the phone feeling warm in your hands while gaming? That's not an issue, it's by design. it's the internal cooling system doing its job by moving heat away from the CPU/GPU package and into the outer phone body where it can be radiated away. Even so I wouldn't say it gets uncomfortably hot, just warm. With any case on the phone you really don't even feel it.
It's so bad, it's in the accessories section.
