I just did the same test and don't see that problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowsnophones:
How were you able to make everything fine again?

Is there anyone here who doesn't have the screen issue?

Should I just wait for the next production run?

Is the screen test app part of the device already or do i have to download it?

I think that aside from contacting samsung, you guys experiencing the problem should try contacting popular bloggers and posting on Samsung's facebook page. I think they will listen to the concern if it's all over the web.

The problem is here, regardless of the visual settings.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denialnw10:
Don't panic mate, it seems that there are several different things that people are complaining about. A few people genuinely have faulty screens (when referring to faint lines, dark patches, etc.), but this thread was begun because there seems to be an issue with the auto-brightness switching the screen tint/hue at an annoying rate.

I think you'll get a few dodgy handsets within every batch of phones, but there doesn't seem to be too many issues with the Note from what I've read on the site and others.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryce2010:
This thread is really disturbing to me as I really want to get the Note but...

One of the reasons I want the Note, besides its large screen, is the fact that I'm sick and tired of the screen issues with my N1: The crappy touch screen which freaks out sometimes, the auto brightness which has never worked properly, and the copper/reddish/purplish tint that appears on the screen when using very low brightness - which is necessary when viewing the device at night so your not burning your eyes out.

But it sounds to me, that the Note suffers 2 of the same problems:

Auto Brightness does not work properly:

As others have stated, my iPhone 3G & 3GS before switching to Android, the auto brightness worked flawlessly - I don't get why Android engineers have still not been able to perfect this yet.

Poor screen quality when using low brightness - which again is necessary when using the device in low light situations so you don't get a headache.

So to confirm - several of you are experiencing a yucky, purplish 'hue' or 'tint' to the screen when using low brightness?

I don't understand, surely they tested the device under low brightness situations? :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seepage:
To me the auto-brightness switching the screen tint/hue at an annoying rate.

is a genuine problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sectorlord:
I dont see it even on the low light setting....yes my auto brightness suddenly goes to 0?

Is it a bug?

I think all oled will suffer all. .cause it relies on each pixel to illuminate..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzemania:
The hue changing symptom came back after a day! sob. Requested for screen replacement to be done week after next, will update you guys if it helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denialnw10:
Agreed, but as someone above stated I think it is more of an auto brightness bug than anything to do with a fault on the screen. I have take auto brightness off and I have no issues with full brightness or the lowest brightness.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryce2010:
Hey I'd really like to know cuz when I have my Nexus1 on the lowest brightness there is a washed out purplish/reddish tint that looks gross. Was hoping that I wouldnt have to look at that anymore if I switch to the Note.

When you have your note on the lowest brightness setting it still looks fine? Like I mean the only difference is the brightness? There is no 'hue' or 'tint' that you can see?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denialnw10:
Correct.

I've owned loads of HTC phones in the past including the Desire and the Desire HD. I feel that the Samsung Galaxy Notes level of design and build are of an even higher spec (my Desire HD literally fell apart due to design flaws which I do not see in the G-Note, although the original Desire was pretty decent).

So, in conclusion... GET THE G-NOTE!!!! lol! Seriously, it's definitely the most amazing device that I have ever purchased. I am so happy with it. Yes there is a bug that affects the auto brightness, but hey, that is probably the only flaw I have found so far, which I could not say about previous phones that I have owned in the past.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatTheCat:
I'm going to go out on a limb and say its Samsung or oled. My GS2 had screen defects and my new nexus has colour banding and horizontal lines on black images. Now I hear your new notes have the same issue its widespread over a lot of Samsung devices. If I were you I would take it back and go through every replacement until you get one your satisfied with. Would you buy a plasma with image burn and not send it back?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryce2010:
denialnw10 advises to go ahead & get it & NatTheCat says screen issues are common w/Samsung devices so I could get very possibly get one w/screen issues.

The idea of paying $800 with shipping,taxes,fees and then having to ship it back overseas does not sound fun. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seepage:
There seems to be a lot of people with these phones having display issues (icluding me). It may be just because people without issues have no reason to post saying that. Is there any way to find out what percentage of us are having problems?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
Here is what I am seeing.The first link of the trailer that I posted was playing at the highest resolution of 720p.The pixelation was nowhere near as bad as the second trailer which was showing in 1080p.

It appears the note has trouble rendering 1080p videos.The SG2 has no problem rendering 1080p.

I suggest to note owners to play only 720p videos and not 1080p until Samsung updates the problem.The note's display is not 1080p anyway so it makes no difference to the quality.

I still prefer watching movies on the note in 720p than 1080p on the SG2.It is still higher resolution and of course a much larger picture.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I grabbed 720p for both to make it even, forgot to add that. The note has a brighter black levels and is more blocky.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seepage:
You mean YOUR note has a brighter black levels and is more blocky.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
I'll grab my wife's SG2 tmr and compare again.You could be right but the difference I think is minimal in 720p and I still prefer the higher resolution and the larger display of the note.

If this problem was in my 50in plasma,i would be be very upset but on my phone it's not much of an issue.If I wanted to seriously watch a movie I would watch it on my plasma,not on a 5in display.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I see you still cant get over this.

Difference in expectation, Im upset about the black levels a bit coming from an S1/S2/Wave.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youtheshsagar:
the blocky blacks patches of the video was getting worse. i could not watch any video at all :( So i sold my note... now i dont know which phone to buy sgs2 or note again.. my friends has no issues with his note which he bought a week ago..

i see many people with the same problem and also few people with no such problems..

any suggestions which to buy ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
I can confirm that the pixelation during dark scenes can make videos almost unwatchable.Hopefully,future updates can fix this.

I have found a couple of things that can reduce this,at least on my phone.Only play back 720p content and not 1080p or even 480p.The other thing is to put it into movie mode.

This will not rid of the problem completely but at least videos with a lot dark scenes will be at least watchable.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Had my screen replaced today because I had issues with a visible horizontal lines on normal use, ride side of the screen has a reddish hue and the 1/4 bottom has a greenish tint.

The replacement screen has no visible lines but I've lost about 95% of my viewing angles as little as 15degrees I now see a blueish tint before I cant even see any color shift at extreme angles, I usually place my phone on my desk and when I get a notification I can definitely see that my screen has a blueish tint from an angle. This screen has a more natural color but now suffers more black clipping that was never seen before.

I guess its a give and take panel lottery on the HD SAMOLED Plus, the lines were a much more annoying problem than this blueshift.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariboi:
I had gone to a Samsung Service Center yesterday (8th January 2012) (MOA, Manila, Philippines) - Stood in the queue for about 2 hrs - and finally - Was brushed aside by the people over there. My wife is pregnant (on her last month now), even she came along (as she insisted) - They said that they could not see anything wrong. They just refused to see it. But they did acknowledged that there has been several issues being reported with the galaxy note screen. But they don't know how to fix it cos they don't see the problem.

Even looking at the demo handset which was kept as display, the difference in the 2 handsets was evident. The lines were not visible, no hue/tint and even though that handset had banding, it was not even half as bad as mine is.

They were so blind that they could not see

- the color banding

- fine lines on a white back ground

- the hue/tint in various viewing angles

The worst part came when they expected me to show the change of color temperature (which happens randomly) on unlocking the phone. It was so damn irritating. It really was!

I am just glad that i am finally starting to move away from Samsung (iPhone). I really am. Paying a fortune for something that has defects is not my idea of a 'happy' user.

As some users posted above about these issues not being something that they are bothered of, well, may be paying close to 800 USD is no big deal for them! But hey, i love my money... i expect great quality as a ROI... when i paid for a Galaxy Note, i expected it to be best device (now they come up with an LTE upgrade) with the best quality (far from acceptable screen - for me atleast) offering the best multimedia (not even able to view pictures in the gallery properly) experience... which i am not getting with the Note. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Sorry to hear about your experience in my case they immediately saw the lines and didnt really care about the other issues I reported, the issue I have now is that I have a blue tint which is tolerable but the increased black clipping on my screen is not.

I emailed samsung support about this since they've been very helpful to me since the Galaxy S2 days and I'll see If I can get a new unit or ask for a refund instead.

Ya... i read about that on your post... i wish they could work on getting consistency on the Super AMOLEDs rather than planning a GS3 release... it may just be a small spark now, it wont be too long before Samsung will head Nokia ways if they don't concentrate on the current users.

As far as i am concerned... after 5 Samsung Mobiles, 2 Samsung Laptops and 1 Samsung LCD and 1 Samsung LED, its buh bye Samsung! My experience yesterday really dented my thoughts on Samsung. And knowing them, it does not make any difference to them!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
AMOLED it self is still very new, this is one of the reasons why Apple is sticking towards IPS screens as they are more consistent and more mature in terms of manufacturing but they are not w/o flaws as well.

I dont blame samsung for any of this, I blame it on the people who accept manufacturing defects as normal but what can we do samsung has the monopoly on AMOLED production.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintin1042:
my second replaced NOTE's screen is also suffering from "black spots while video playing" and the service center guys told me they can not do anything about this and they have informed the R&D team but they have not replied yet. and the new screen has a dead pixel as well so they offered me to replace the screen but i'm bit concerned about if my phone gets scratched during screen replacement.So guys who have replaced their screen plz cmnt about the quality of the servicing.:mad:

EarlZ plz tell about replacement quality is it scratch free after servicing??? and i am from india.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I didnt get any scratches during the replacement also the replacement screen comes with a protector.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintin1042:
Thanks EarlZ for ur kind reply.is the protector is same which we get in the box ("SAMOLED HD" written on it).And is the metal edge is also scratch free??(i know i'm bit over concerned)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Not the same but its stuck to the screen and your the one whos gonna peel it not the tech, the metal edge is fine. My phone has no dents or scratches what so ever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucian777:
How long it took the whole replacement procedure?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
A few people were ahead of me so idk, i left my phone for 3hrs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucian777:
Did the have the display in stock? I ask because in my case i left the phone on friday... and no word from it till now. "status: waiting for parts"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
The procedure here in my place is that I bring the phone to the service center, they check for the said defect once proven or seen as defective they order the parts and contact the customer once the parts arrive its usually 3-5days. No additional feels only proof of purchase required.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
It's a software and not a hardware issue, thus...

...is therefore correct. New screen, old screen, it's caused by software, it wouldn't change. If they exchange the screen for a dead pixel though, go for it, since by industry norms A (as in 1 single) dead pixel on 800x1280 is not considered a hardware defect. They don't have to change the display, if they don't want to, basically. So do it, if they even offered it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
This is probably region based and not an industry norm, In my region Samsung accepts replacements for a single dead pixel on a highend or low end phone, including TV's.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
No, it's an industry norm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_13406-2

I just updated myself and saw, it got replaced with another (though very similar) norm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9241#ISO-9241-302.2C_303.2C_305.2C_307:2008_pixel_defects

I seem to fail to find the place again, where Samsung declares it's display as Class 2 conform. The Note by having 1.024mio pixels translates - depending on Samsungs take if this is 1mio or >1mio - in 2 or up to 4 defective full or 5 or up to 20 defective sub pixels.

The text on wikipedia also states that most manufactures succumb to Class 2. This usually is part of the warranty agreement.

Edit

AMOLED are not really LCD, but I guess Samsung does apply the same standards. Especially for the Phillipines, I found the following:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I guess we are lucky that they do replace screens even if its a single dead pixel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
Correct. Thus, as I said to the Indian guy further up: if they do replace it, go for it. No dead pixel is better than a dead pixel ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Also I noticed that the surface feel of this new screen is a lot better, its hard to put it into words but its definitely better than the original screen it came with.. probably a different type/quality of coating used but its causing the screen to have a bluetint unless viewed directly head on and I noticed that its much more sensitive than before but the lights on the menu and back button are a bit reddish and dimmer ( doesnt matter though )
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucian777:
Last week i've left my phone in Samy service center for my issues, while i was there came one guy with a galaxy i9000 with one death pixel and they took the phone to change the screen.

i cant understand how it can be perfect on some apps and bandy on others

i have run screen test and white is perfect ... i had banding issues on the s2 and did not expect them on the note ... i now wonder if it is the programs and not the actual screen

what are your thoughts ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
This information still doesn't change the industry norm nor that Samsung is saying they stick to it. It is more generous than Samsung says they really are, so it's a very very generous gesture from Samsung, take advantage of it. They might change their policy if business is not going well in the future or if Apple wins too many of the lawsuits pending :p

screen issues

Hi guys! I had all the screen issues that were discussed here and read all the 60 pages and I was so mad to Samsung... The switching between blueish/pinkish hue was the thing that was causing me the baddest experience. It was unacceptable... Giving 550 Euros for a device and getting all this screen issues is madness... I have returned the phone to my carrier and right now I'm waiting for new Note. I hope it's screen gonna be fine, because I'm gonna be so pissed and probably gonna switch to another brand - maybe going to the dark side - iOS :D Just kidding, I'm in love with the phone as long as it's defect free :D So that's from me. I'm gonna update whats happening with my situation when I got the new Galaxy Note.

Yeah, I must be the lucky one... gadgets just love me...

I remember when I got the sgs1, there were tons of complaints about lag issues and gps problems here at the xda; but I never had those probs with the sgs and I even posted some videos to demonstrate that (on my sign)

And now I got a a GNote with a beautiful screen....love is in the air....

So having screen related issues is already translated as "many issues" by a select few these days.

I had a flawless screen experience with the Samsung Wave and Galaxy S1, so my expectations were built up sky high, our expectations are not the same so its understandable :)

Maybe the situation is even worst that the previous Note :D I even see banding in skype... Really annoying. Are you guys experience the same trouble... Did all the Note's have this? I assume that it's a software problem and it would be fixed in the future updates, but who knows...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I am not sure if ICS has a strict enforcement of 24/32bit rendering but looking at the current state of the Galaxy Nexus, no ICS has not yet solved this. Its been an issue since the Galaxy S1.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Ok we both mean the same thing, the S1 and S2 has that issue. Its due to the 16bit color rendering .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlamingGoat:
I got my replacement and the new phone screen is much better with regard to the grid i had been seeing, but I can still see one horizontal band about three quarters down, and the bottom quarter is darker than the top three-quarters.

Overall though its miles better, plus the colours seem more vibrant and whites whiter, the first one was almost like I was looking through a haze.

Not all is perfect though, the banding on this one is way way worse, but its not as big an issue for me as what I had been seeing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
The darker bottom is probably on all screens as its part of the manufacturing inconsistency.. it doesnt bother much though as its only visible in grey colors mostly and when viewed in land scape or that same blue colored bar on the settings menu in landscape.

When tilted does your replacement screen have a green or blue tint ?
