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.

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

Hi everybody
I'd like to know if LG has now fixed the backlight bleeding (at the top corners of the screen) on this phone or is it still there ?
I like the build quality and the other specs but the bleeding made me sell the first one I got 4 months ago.
Thanks
Friend bought a set in early July, with a battery manufacture date of around end-may. Backlight bleeding still there at the top 2 corners, and lower right corner.
It won't be going anywhere, pretty much anything with an IPS LCD screen has it, iStuff included.
noobish question from relatively advanced user, but can someone explain or even show a photo of a screen bleed, Ive had a HTC Desire which the screen was fine, and the lg o2x which seems fine, but many people are complaining about the screen bleeding, just wanting to know what is so bad about it that you would change your phone???
Get in a dark room, crank the brightness to max and make the screen black (drawing program will do). You'll see it, kind of a glow from the corners. It's not really a huge deal in daily usage for most I reckon.
Got my second o2x couple of days ago..

Thanks for the photos. The bleeding on mine was yellow/brown which doesn't seem to be your case...
.... and what is the real point of this? I probably have the same bleeding (I won't make the try) and in a 'normal' usage (i.e with a multicolor screen and some lights around) I couldn't even have the slightest idea that such an issue could exist (I use my phone daily for 3 monthes)
So it's only a psychological concern, for people that need to have a Zero Flaw object in their hands even if the Flaws are invisible?
I'm sure as Rusty! said that you could find this in many LCD devices....
It depends how huge is the bleeding.
I had 3 O2X and one wasnt huge but the 2 others were awfull : the top corners were brown/yellowish.
Unfortunately, I sold the good one to buy SGS II...
This has something to do with the screen specs, can't be fix.

2nd image is not backlight bleed but typical IPS off-angle white glow. Has to do with the filter used for IPS panels; almost all IPS LCD monitors have it.
well than i think the backlight bleeding will forever be there .
even my friend asus transformer has it .
my phone is a week old and has bleeding on the top corners..
You dont notice it when you dont have a black screen!

Yep i know..
Guys I'm noticing this green tint on the glass/screen when the phone is tilted. Its green from all the angles, only when you look at the screen head on you see white. So all whites appear to be green when phone is tilted. This thing is screwing with my eye when I shift from PC to N6 or TV to N6.
Only at extreme angle the camera that I have is able to capture that green tint but to the eye it is visible at the slightest tilt.
Wanted to ask you if you'll are noticing similar issue? Can you please check, post pics from diff angle or even upload a video. It would be very helpful as I can go ahead and consider a replacement if the unit is defective.
Video (sorry about the quality)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFXjRy2sDUk&feature=youtu.be
The verge review mentioned this, mine have it but less noticeable, also didn't bother me at all, I never look the phone at that angles.
this is just a normal amoled thing i believe, my device has it too
Normal for AMOLED displays.
So what do you'll think? Should I ask for a replacement as it is more noticeable then the rest? When I'm on the PC and the phone is sitting on the desk right below the monitor from this angle the top half of the screen is green and the lower half is whitish. Is it normal in the case of amoled displays? Again this is my first device which has an amoled display, never used one before so my eyes may take time adjusting to it. I'm just worried about the unit being defective.
Check the screen for pink and yellow tint, there is a forum about it. The green/blue shift is normal as the nexus 6 uses last generation amoled screens like the ones found on the note 3 and galaxy s4

Just noticed that I can visibly see the LED pixels on the screen.. Anyone else have this happen after having the phone for a bit?
It's 493ppi so seeing 1 OLED pixel seems out there even for most people. I have 20/10 vision correct with contacts and I can't see them even if I try. Maybe if I had a dead pixel I could see it, but normally I can't see anything.

I couldn't get the other phone to focus on the pixels. I put in a request with AT&T for a replacement under warranty.. Just concerned with the build quality of the device since I've only owned it for a couple weeks and have this issue. Its a damn expensive device to have issues like this.

I didn't have that issue on my first Nexus 6 but I did have a camera issue. My second one is excellent no issues so far. I had my first one for 7 weeks before I had to RMA it.
I have perfect vision (my optometrist is jealous) and I can't resolve individual pixels on the display when held at "normal" distances.
After using the Nexus 6 though, I can resolve the pixels on my N7 LTE under certain conditions, after never having noticed it before. Drives me nuts.

That's how it is when I use Mt wife's S5 it's almost annoying because I can see them sometimes when I didn't used to. That started after having my G3 for the past 7 months

Not corrected. I can see them also. It is mostly because of the uneven pentile pixel layout. Coming from an LG G3 which is stripe RGB you will definitely see a difference in quality. G3 is much more ordered and cleaner vs N6 a bit grainy with slight pink side. However, in my opinion it is an illusion because of a vertical vs diagonal layout. In both cases the blend is even.
My guess is that your new unit will not be any different.

My previous device was the G2 and in certain lights you can see the pixels with the screen off, especially outdoors. However, I don't see the pixel arrangement with the screen off on the N6; and I don't recall seeing the pixels prior to today.. Maybe it wasn't evident at first and maybe my eyes are now focused on the pixels, but I don't think you should be able to see RGB light reflections when viewing the phone display straight on. My HP laptop has the same affect when the screen has some wet spots; but the fact is, I can wipe dry those spots and the RGB reflections are gone. I don't have time to go to a brick and motor store to view the phones on display, and the new device should be in my hands mid-week.
Here's a thought - I installed the Skinomi Techskin a few days ago (probably a week now). Wondering if this screen protector is causing this?

So are you talking about seeing pixels when the screen is on or when the screen is off?
The die of the pixel arrangement will be visible under certain angle in just the right light when the screen is off.
Also, screen protectors can cause this to be amplified for sure. It all depends on the quality of that screen protector.
This characteristic is just one of those things you have to put up with when you're dealing with resolution cheating samsung crappy pentile amoled displays. I was hoping that the QHD would be enough to overcome the pentile, but that doesn't seem to be entirely the case for some.
At least (if tmo ever decides to actually ship it) it won't be as bad as my last cheating samsung amoled... a 4" 800x480.
I figured going into this, that the display would be pretty crappy. Too big, and amoled pentile... but after suffering with non-nexus devices for a few years (last one was a "nexus zero" -- ADP1...), I just don't feel like fighting with the thing, so fact of being a nexus > crappy display.
Anyone having issues with their screens?
I have a red tint near the top right corner.. the bottom left is more bright than the top... it appears like a gradient accross the screen... noticable on dark greys... What should I do? is it a defect or are all devices like this?
Help please. any inputs will be appreciated.

The brightness is set to full, adaptive is off. When set to full, the tint is low but noticable.. when set to 50% the tint becomes more prominent.. and I do not have a problem with the tint.. it is just that it is not uniform.. the top right is tinted while the rest of the display is not.. it is really disturbing when reading an email or typing in landscape.
I think color uniformity issues are quite common on this device. You see some threads on reddit and also here on xda about this issue, most people have some sort of yellow or red tint on parts of their displays. The display of my Nexus 6 is a bit more yellow to the lower right of the screen, however I really only notice it on higher brightness with darker colors in apps like Google Camera or the Material Dark keyboard theme. It used to bug me in the beginning, but I somehow got used to it. I don't see the need for an RMA and get a potentially worse device with other defects as mine is perfect otherwise.

My main question is are all amoleds like this.. because I had a galaxy s3 and it had a perfect display with no tint. Are all nexus 6's suffering from this problem or is it just a defective batch that is affecting some people. ?

I know the feeling, when my device was just a few days old I freaked out like this too. It's hard to justify at this price point but the truth is, no device is perfect. I went through several N5's back in the day and none of them were perfect, most of them had a few dead pixels, creaking body or even dust particles in the camera.
If you say your device is perfect otherwise, won't you rather live with such a small and hard to notice defect than going through a cycle of potentially worse devices? If you ask me, don't go for a replacement. But in the end it's up to you.

Here my vendor is sending me a new device. A box packed one. It should arrive in 2-3 days. The tint on mine isn't noticable when the brightness is above 70% , but I cant use the phone continously at night at such high brightness. Besides the tint is so bugging me when reading anything.. browser, play books.. the uneven color temperature from top to bottom.. it is really annoying and considering that I have paid so much for this I wont settle for this. Lets see how the replacement is, I'll post when it arrives.
Got my replacement.
I got my replacement yesterday. THERE IS NO TINT. BUT. the display has a vertical band that is noticable at time. Well, I can put up with this atleast there is no uneven color anymore. I cannot describe how awesome it feels to use a flawless / near flawless display.
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 -_-

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.

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.

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?

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.
