I am having a circle ring angle. Something like that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772528
I cannot see it in a totally black screen. And in a white screen.
It can only be spotted on darker colors like dark grey.
Also the "ring" is on the higher like the top of the wallpaper (not top of the screen) and its on the right side of the screen. When producing darker colors, the ring appear to be in brighter.
Note: I am using a anti glare screen protector.
Have you tried taking off your screen protector and see if the mark is still there?
I have a similar mark, it's just the screen protector.
Hi Guys,
Just noticed today that towards the bottom of my screen, there are 4 light flares when there is a white background. The lights change when you change the viewing angle. Is this normal?? Does everyone else see these light flares??

LCD bleeding, maybe? Can you show me the pic?

I'm not sure if it's LCD bleeing. I read that it's only against a black background. The problem I'm having is only when theres a solid white background and when you change the viewing angle, it kinda disappears. It looks like 4 tiny light bulbs behind the display.
I only say possible, as it doesn't work completely with the note 4.
Basically, someone who goes by 'aaah' on the OnePlus forums made an excellent app that let's you add a gradient anywhere on the screen that can even out any tinting etc. It worked very well, but obviously doesn't make up for the loss of brightness as OPO uses LCD screens
With our note 4s however, there is no brightness shift, so we can compensate with a different colour where it changes.
Unfortunately the app, at least on my exynos note 4, doesn't allow you to properly change transparency when a gradient is applied. It works fine for a solid block, but that isn't ideal as the pink patches aren't solid but instead fade gradually. Hence why a gradient would be great for it.
If any android wiz kids out there could possibly patch the apk so that the transparency settings work then it would certainly help lessen the degree at which the colour shifts are noticeable.
For mine, its mainly the bottom right where the pink patch is more prominent. So I will always have a left to right shift around the keyboard area no matter what, but it would at least reduce the top to bottom shift.

AMOLED Screens tend to differ from display to display, some users get displays presenting a warmer yellow color in presence of white while others get displays presenting a cooler bluish tint in presence of white.
Which presentation would you prefer in terms color appearances on AMOLED Displays (when using the Default Mode: Adaptive Display)? Warmer Displays or Cooler Displays?
I'll be honest when I say that 9300K "blue/cool" whites look more like true white to me, but the industry standards like sRGB, Rec. 709, etc. call for a 6500K "yellow/warm" white point and that leaves my hands tied when calibrating my displays for accuracy.
On that note, Android could use something like system-wide ICC profiles...
In Basic Mode, the display appears more yellow. However, in Adaptive Display, the display look "more cool."
Apart from these Modes, the displays are predisposed to a cool or warm tint, that makes the display appear either cool or warm (sometimes attributes to the pink or yellow tint in presence of whites).

I'll be honest. I've never taken the time to understand AMOLED Technology. It was more the active matrix part but I'll be the first to vote that I didn't.

I'm quite aware of the screen modes, but the white point color temperature and overall gamut (wider gamuts -> more saturation, deeper primaries) are only part of the whole color accuracy equation. The gamma is still far, far off from the 2.2 reference no matter what mode is used. Just open this up in your browser, then you'll wish you had some gamma adjustments somewhere on the Note 4. Maybe Lollipop will save us?

Overall, though, I'd say the most important thing is consistency, which is why standards exist. However, a lot of white LED-lit LCDs and such are much closer to those 9300K blue-ish whites. Mixing those up with some warmer 6500K yellow-ish whites is really jarring, and I can speak from experience there. I'd say for personal use, it doesn't really matter which you use so long as all your displays look consistent next to each other.
I prefer a bluer tint, but only slightly. None of this Xperia Z3 blow your face off blue.
I haven't seen a yellowish screen for a while though. The Note 4 I have leans towards Red or Blue and most other phones i've used lean from red to blue. Mainly red though.
I dislike 6500K, I always have.. For me 6500k white isn't white, it's yellow.

been follwing this for quite time and yes I agree with your post. Being on the note 3 camp , it's the same **** on our end. Recently encho
has been implementing KCAL to aid with changing our color temperatures. More developers should make it a standard to include KCAL in snapdragons.
I'm considering picking one of these up (refurb) and I've never had a phone with notch or with cameras in the screen area. Front camera has been in the bezel area right above the screen. It looks like the two front cameras on this device are essentially embedded into the screen. Does that mean there is less display areas for notification icons or does the device allow for two rows of notification icons + time/battery display up top?

It may seen that it would be e problem, i've owned mine for about 4 months bow and its not an issue. The notification bar is thin but still very readable. If you want to customize the notification panel further for space, you'll be able to download (GoodLock and NiceLock depending on your region) to help with that.

I took a peak at the descriptions of those apps and screen shots and can GoodLock actually modify the top notification status bar on top? I didn't think any app could control the look of that? Those apps seems to have quite a bit of overlap with built-in functions of latest Android 10 + One UI 2.x ? Still might give them a whirl.
SO I've had my S10 5G for about a week now. Right away, I tried the virtual bezel setting that basically black out the top of the screen next to the cameras. I didn't like the look. On my LG V30 the camera was in the bezel and the bezel was very thin so the screen display still appeared to take up most of the glass. With this setting on the Samsung, it's too heavy handed, blacks out a little too much height off the top of the screen so it looks odd with a very tall black bezel on top.
So far, I don't think the reduced space has caused my notification icon bar up top to get overloaded. What I ended up doing though was selecting a wallpaper that the top right corner is dark or almost black. It effectively "hides the cameras" while utilizing the full screen. Of course with apps open that aren't black on top, you see the large camera cutout but it's not really that distracting/terrible looking.
I like that Samsung got a little smarter on the S20 and has a very small single camera cutout in the middle of the screen now. Looks MUCH better. But still, it's only looks. Some may prefer having the dual front cameras, which I think is a nice trade off to having the larger camera cutout on the side instead of the a small single camera in the middle.
