Dark Mode full screen in Chrome landscape leaves the notification bar white? - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

Ugh, that is a ridiculous topic title I apologise. So I have dark mode on. And I have set Chrome to be fullscreen as I don't want a giant black bar on the top because I am concerned about burn in. My Pixel 2XL had horrendous burn in from the black notification and navigation bars and I want to mitigate that.
When I am in dark mode and full screen chrome looks like this in portrait....

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
See how the bar at the top (which the camera cutout would be contained in) is the same grey as the rest of the Chrome theme?
Now when I flip to landscape it looks like this...
See that wank bright white bar on the left?! Is there any way to make that the same grey color? The camera cutout generally doesn't bother me but it is obvious many apps aren't made with it in mind.

Widescreen projection TV & the black bars

I went to Costco (huge US warehouse-style retailer with everything from electronics to tools to food to car stuff) yesterday just to pick up some groceries, and ended up with this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The manual warns about leaving constant images on the screen, including dark bars from having normal TV centered and not in the expanded mode. Is this for real? Seems like black bars would be, by definition, a non-image, right? Scary warnings in the manual though. Anybody know how real they are?
The expanded mode is OK most of the time, just a little weird. It expands stuff that is off-center, so the effect is less noticeable, but sometimes you really see it. Really ruins your porn when the actresses off-center looks like a Jenny Craig "before" model.

[Q] Problem With the screen

The touch works well but there are gradient horizontal lines on the screen in the colors brown, blue and black.
Sometimes i see a little bit something (still with the lines), but then it turns again in to just gradient horizontal lines.
(The screen is not broken.)
Thanks.

Here someone had a similar problem. It seem's to be a hardware failure, if your sceen looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So you should probably backup your stuff, flash a stock firmware (if you are on a custom rom) and send it to samsung.
sounds like screen burn in to me, AMOLED displays can suffer with screen burn in which will leave lines or keyboard texts etc left burnt into the screen.

Pink gradient at the bottom and top of the screen

My problem is that in the center of the screen white looks white, and the top and bottom is very pinky. Especially annoying lollipop menu and when reading sites (which are usually text on a white background, which is dancing with a gradient from light pink to white).
Is this covered by warranty?
Here's a photo of my device (center). Nexus 7 left and right MotoX.
In both cases, all devices exhibited maximum brightness. Exposure changed in .RAW (Lightroom)

As can be seen, pink uneven illumination. It is therefore evident "spot" on the top and bottom. Bottom photo close-up:

Light Bleed on top

Hi guys!
Anybody noticed some Light Bleed effect on top of Pixel 5 like mine?
I noticed it when i was using the phone in a dark room...
Can this get "bigger" after some time? Should i ask for replacing the screen?
Thx for your help!

Hi, I see same effect but I think it's not a screen issue. If you pull down the notification Bar or up for the apps it's black. Same when I use nova launcher, the same black wallpaper I use don't show any bleeding that area. Maybe related to to status Bar in Google launcher
Late reply but i think @michathecat is right. I think there is a effect called "top shadow" (there is also "bottom shadow") that makes this effect. Try installing CPL (Customized Pixel Launcher) from play store (free) and turn those shadows off and you should be good with the "bleed".

Question Camera cutout is slightly larger than the notification status bar height?

I noticed this especially in apps which still maintain a status bar that the camera cutout slightly exceeds the height of the status bar. Just wondering if anyone noticed this on their S21 Ultra as well? Definitely not a big thing but gets distracting sometimes... I checked on my old Note 10+, the camera cutout is exactly flush with the bottom of the status bar.

Yep, it's the same on the Note20 Ultra as well, and it's been driving me crazy... I seriously wouldn't mind a slightly taller status bar if it meant the camera was properly vertically centered.
