Noticed something for the first time today. Looks like there's light bleeding from the left side edge of my screen where it meets the frame. It's not uniform either so it makes me think that there was some sealent that detached somehow. Anyone else have this issue? I'll try and take a pic once I have another camera to use.
Looks like the same is happening to mine. Left side bottom corner. Actually seems to just be the paint under the glass is peeling away or something? Doesn't seem like it's physically open, compromising the water resistance.
Look like this?
Sent mine in like 2 weeks ago. Still waiting for them to ship it back.
They managed to replace the LCD and motherboard for some reason... wth Samsung
another thread...its not light bleed -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/light-bleed-t3670247
Dang. That's too bright for a dark room.
Huh just noticed that on mine too. Not that bad though but still noticable.
Composed on Galaxy Note8
I've had 2 replacements so far. First one was on the left side from top to bottom. Second phone was all round. Looked the screen had it's own halo!
Interestingly the store manager said that this is not the norm having compared them against the the display phones in store and his own Note 8 which were all flawless!
Whether it's the light reflecting from the screen etc etc, i personally believe this should not be like this, not when there is so much inconsistency between flawless handsets and handsets with the light bleed.
Samsung needs to address this and actually take ownership.
This is one of the first things i checked when i got my Note 8. Mine doesn't have this "bleed"

During the past 2 months I've gone through four different Nexus 7 tablets (two C6Os, a C7O, and C8O) from Google Play. All had loose glass on the left side that bothered me and the USB port on the last one even died. So I called Google and they are just giving me a refund at this point.
I went out and grabbed a Kindle Fire HD thinking about making the switch. And it's a nice tablet for Amazon content... but I'd really still like to have a Nexus 7. So I went out to Walmart and bought one, figuring I could at least return it quickly if it's messed up like all the rest.
I checked the box and saw it is a C8O. Opened it up and checked the glass. Oh my god, it looks perfect. The glass is just slightly below the silver rim on all side.
Same here, i got s C80 nexus 7 16 Gb at local walmart and ran my fingernail around the whoel tab and there is no screen lift. looked at all angles and no lift, no creaks, no sounds and no retarded loose speaker.
took the tab into a completly dark room and then turned on the tab to full brightness and performed a reboot and watched the screen around all edges and saw no light bleed. downloaded a LCD test app form the market and tested full brightness all colors including white and black and saw no light bleed anywhere.
im very happy with this unit and after 3 weeks no issues yet. (cross fingers)
Got mine (well my dad did) from the local office max, and yes the left side of the screen is a bit lifted very small though, only noticed if you touch it, and only "rises" if the tablet is hot. My cover is arriving soon and I am way out here in Brazil, so calling Google for warranty is kinda impossible lol!
I really am unsure if I have the screen lift issue. I noticed the left side is not evenly as low as the whole right side is. It isn't majorly uneven so I am thinking I do not have it. It really doesn't look like an issue, but I am scared if I do have that issue since I heard it can crack. Also, I was just squeezing the left side of the bezel and some SNAP sound happened, as if something snapped in place. I don't know what happened but my screen is working correctly, still.

If you can physically see it acting spongy under your touch, then it's screen lift. Basically the screen "flexes" - if not, then it's just poor mounting but probably not a problem in the long run.
My new N7 sounds a little like yours...on the right side the bezel is just a tiny tiny bit higher than the glass...on the left side, the glass is a tiny tiny bit higher than the bezel. However, the screen doesn't move or flex at all.
Glad to hear you finally got a good n7. The one I pre ordered had screen lift so I had it replaced and so far this one is great (knock on wood).

In my lower half of the screen I have a bright spot visible only on light background. My device is just a few days old. Anyone else encountered this? Should I worry about it?

Sorry this might seem silly, but have you checked that the lens is clean? Or maybe there is a bit of dust that has gotten inside the casing and onto the lens? I guess if it's bright enough, then you should be able to have it fixed on warranty.
The lens is part of the camera and has nothing to do with the screen. The screens are backlit by a source of light and mine has a bleed spot. I've seen this before on laptops too.
I think I have it too, left side, a little lower then the middle of the screen. It shows better in the brightest screen setting but it's still pretty discreet. I wouldn't worry about it.
talk.sonymobiledotcom/t5/Xperia-Z3-Compact/Lighter-spot-on-screen/m-p/855751
So, I sent the unit back and got a replacement. It was pretty annoying to me as I was constanlty distracted by the bright spot. The carrier (Orange Romania) was very cool about it and sent the replacement ahead to make the switch at my house so I wouldn't have to send it in, wait for them to verify the fault, sent a replacemet in a week or so and be left without a <propper> phone . Very pleased and so far I can't identify any faults.
I received my device today and after playing with it for a few hours, I noticed a light blob on the top-right side of the screen. Such a shame
Hopefully I'll get a replacement asap.
I have a similar spot, but it is in the right bottom corner. These spot seem to appear near the buttons. My theory is that by bending the phone something from the inside of the phone pushes against the display and creates the spots.
mine is from the left edge, thumb size. It's visible on dark background. Sony mobile displays are pure crap, the worst I've seen on any smartphone. Never buy Sony again!
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.
Before I installed UV screen protector I noticed this stripe under UV lamp. Is that normal?
I saw that too, when installing the Whitestone Dome, and have not noticed any problems.
I noticed the same thing when installing my whitestone... assuming it's normal, my display is good under normal circumstances as far as I can tell

it's basically the same shape that shown on my screen whenever the screen display dark color contrasts (but not true blacks)...that seems to resemble a burn-in.
Hi everyone, I don't think this is anything to worry about. I found the same blob on my Huawei Mate 20 Pro whilst I was trying to cure my green screen.
I then checked my partners s9 and it also had the same blob so it's definitely not screen burn.
I was told it's the loca glue used in the manufacturing process. Same thing on the Pixel 3 XL's and Note 8's. I wouldn't worry about it.

Theres almost no way it's a burn in. I have this on my brand new unit that i noticed on the 1st day of use before installing my Whitestone. At this point the screen and only been on for about 20 mins. I know this because my phone as of now only has 31 charging cycles on it.

Yup normal. However I seen a user on here who had it discolor and could be seen under normal use.
Been looking into it why I'm at work. It is an optical adhesive and perfectly normal. However from what I'm guessing Samsung let a few out with bad adhesive and that's what causesd his what he thought was burn in.
But normal to see it under uv under certain wave length's. If you see it without UV light then that is an issue. Or if you have your display on and can see the outline of it.
Same Norland adhesive we use at my work on some of our optical stuff.
Just a heads up. The light they give you with the dome is not the right wavelength for the adhesive they use. Final cure you will wanna do 2 min total for each top and bottom. If not the adhesive will still be green "not fully cured" the adhesive they use is on the cheeper end of the spectrum but fine for what it is being used for. That much adhesive in a top of the line product would be around $30. But I used it on my. Did a final cure of 2 min top and bottom. Checked it out under a high power microscope and it was fully cured. No issues with it lifting.

So you've been meaning to say that if we see this without UV light (which I see in my device when I'm in a dim room and I let my phone show dark grey to dark green colors), then it's not normal? Then if it's Samsung fault, would they fix it in a repair center (hopefully free of charge)?
Im just quite pissed off for this since I came from S9+ and I havent had any issues with the screen. Couldn't they be at least consistent with things like this given the fact the display is one of the most selling point of this phone?
p.s. and oh, just to add, what's appearing on mine is not just some rectangular flat discoloration on my screen, it has dark polkadots lined in a grid inside just like many others have been complaining about.

Can see green polka dot kind of burn in during normal use. Phone is only 3 months old. I take care of my phone religiously. Just noticed a few days ago and now it's all I see.

My Moto Edge 20 unit came with yellow edges on the display all around apart from the bottom edge. Not a big issue, but noticeable enough to annoy me on content of a solid color. It's yellow much like how older iPhones used to be shipped with yellow edges, the picture is roughly how it looks on my display. I used it for about 3 months and it didn't go away, so is there a way to fix it? My guess is that my best bet would be with a UV lamp of some sorts, but maybe some people here can confirm that. I cannot return it and I probably cannot send it back to Motorola since it's rooted, so my other option would be selling it, which is my last resort. Any advice would be very welcome.
Edit: I should mention that it's very slight. It's only noticeable if you know it's there. It's maybe 1/3 as bad as in the picture, but it bothers me.
Hello there, this won't help, but I cannot see any yellow edges on mine. If it's there I don't see it.
However, maybe this is an issue with your screen and you may ask for a replacement?
Have you seen it on any other Edge 20?
Update: I found that using one of those dead pixel fix apps from the play store helped with the yellowing of the display. After about 4 hours of "curing" the phone with one of those apps, the yellowing slowly started to fade. It's not gone, but it's better than it was. If you have an issue like this on any phone, try this trick before RMA-ing it.
