Ok,looking at these two pics,my phone is identical to the bottom one in calculator mode.The one on top looks very severe.

It looks like some phones are worse off than others.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chong81:
I see. Were the pictures you took of the video from before or after the screen replacement?

Samsung really ought to get their act together regarding this AMOLED defect rubbish. I'd much prefer an IPS - LG has backlight bleeding issues, but at least their screens looks great most of the time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I dont know if this is a pattern or what but from what I've personally seen so far those with really bad banding on the calculator also have bad video playblack on the Iron man clip, my first screen is like the one on the bottom, lesser banding which also gave better playback.

Thats after since the difference was so huge and its something that cannot be mistaken, I just started b*tching about this clipping right after I had my screen replaced.

IPS is pretty good and consistent over all, the back light bleeding is also a downer though and no deep blacks yet.. but if they can fix the backlight bleeding soon then its a winner!

Grey images even look better on my old N5800 which uses a regular TFT-LCD!

My emails with samsung is very pleasant so far, even if they are unable to replicate my issue they are not brushing me off or giving me b.s. I just hope I can get a refund though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie:
I have emailed Samsung too. I will see what their reply is. I am hesitant on asking for a replacement just yet as people have said, its like a lottery to see what you get.

My Screen Flicker While Browsing internet - The screen flickers when there is any kind of light background on any video I play on the internet via wifi. Auto screen brightness is turned off both within the browser and frm the main display setting as well.

Any possible solution to this OR you are having similar issues ?

No, it doesn't. I use 240dpi since day one, and still have severe banding with images and video. I love this phone (could be a bit thicker imo), but Samsung really dropped the ball with the screen.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckwheat.phd:
Easier said than done. We're all gun shy nowadays and for good reason. Given Samsung and ATT's indifference and flippant policies to protect their customers in the recent past, we're not so quick to jump on yet another quick-to-market and sloppy engineering feat from Samsung.

I mean, how long did it take to update the phones this time last year? Like 12 months, and some never got updated. Oh how quick we forget the outcry that graced these boards back in January. And the Infuse has STILL not seen an update either. And they dropped the Infuse and left us for dead anyway, sticking us with 2 yr contracts when they came out with 9 new phones that fixed the Infuse's problems. Oh, and battery problems - let's don't go there. ATT store staff tell me that every one of their Infuse customers come back with complaints about the 2 hour battery life. And the response is the same - "you're not doing it right - it's your fault" lol

Nah, nobody's gonna give Samsung a blank check on this one. Or any others. Yea, we may be slow and eager, but embarrassingly we eventually learn
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denialnw10:
First of all it would be correct to define exactly what screen issues you're referring to. I thought I had screen issues, but then it turns out it was not the case. There is simply a bug when using auto-brightness. As soon as I turned auto-brightness off the screen is perfect at both high and low light.

There are a small minority of people that have genuine screen issues, and I would recommend those people return there handsets for a replacement. I haven't got any weird lines or blotches on my screen and neither do the majority of guys on the forum.

I think this is getting blown way out of proportion, especially when people are comparing issues with a different handset (Galaxy S II). There seem to be 4 or 5 people who have commented on this thread with real screen issues not relating to the auto-brightness bug, (ie. lines on the screen or blue/purple/green stain on screen).

I am personally happy with my purchase, even if it means I cannot use auto-brightness (which I'm not too bothered about, as the stupid option generally hasn't work too well on any phone I've used previously).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seepage:
you are joking arent you?

simply a bug is not a problem?

do you work for samsung?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
How about you guys send Samsung an email or tweet to them? Say that you're experiencing screen problems, and you want to know if they know about it, and what they're planing to do. Software update or simply nothing?

And before you send anything, act like an adult, and do not tweet or mail something like "Yo Samsung, why is my phone ****ed up? Fix it biatch, or i kill yooou". That won't fix anything.

So instead of raging at each other, let Samsung know that something is up.

Btw, i don't know if you've seen this video, but it's a video test with different formats (mkv, mpeg4, avi etc.). Looks like everything is displayed correctly.

(I don't have the Note yet, so i can't help you)

Edit: I've asked in a norwegian forum thread if anyone are experiencing any screen problems, and so far nobody are. Where did you guys get your Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zsolti256:
Yes I do have the tint / hue change, it happent randomly somtimes 5-10minutes and somtimes 3-5sec.

Yes I Also at low brighness see white waves It is similar to old backlit lcds, (it looks like its dirty)

auto brightness swich of does NOT help, Nor does the power save display analize function help either!

Not everyone can see these faults right away, but the do exist! If you read alot you will notice it!

BEST SOLUTION FOR ME:

If you amp the brightness (from 30%) it goes away or is harder to notice (both of the faults)!

These faults are not that big, but its enough to make me angry after paying a bucketload of money for the "perfect" phone, which it indeed would be, if not for these problems, and the poor sound quality...

It is a bit ironic that the biggest strength of this phone is its biggest weakness :(

I think sending this tread to Samsung would be a good start.

There are a fix for that ?

Can you confirm that it solved the problem ?

No, don't bother trying, it doesn't solve the problem. Perhaps there's a defect on the screen which needs replacement.

Update

So the last two day I did exchange my Gnote two more times , for a total now of five exchanges and six Notes. All have been faulty , the third one was the most acceptable.I've seen yesterday another Gnote who seems not to have problems but couldn't be able to test it toroughly but gonna try to do it tomorrow.

I've also tried the different videos and pictures on a Galaxy IIs and didn't notice any clipping/pixelation in the test videos.Banding was more difficult to test but was less noticable in the XDA splash screen but this is also visible on a lcd screen so it's probably the application and was not all visible in angry birds.

So I think that it is not the Amoled technology on herself that is the problem here.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thijsvr:
Well as people said they want pictures for proof, here are some.

There you can see the white spot. I took the picture with my Blackberry 9700 (work phone) and you can see it below the centre of the screen. Just below the text No Notifications. It's much more visible in real life, but the image is clear enough.

The banding which I think has to do with rendering, more than a faulty display can be seen here.

This is the album art thingy from WINAMP, but it's also visible in the gallery:

Yet when it isn't scaled down the banding is gone:

It's quite clear in the bars of certain apps too. This is still the Winamp app:

If you guys want to see the stuff in the gallery let me know. I'm not really worried about the banding stuff. The phone processes a lot of images as a lot of stuff has to be scaled up or down and I think they are trying to save on memory by not choosing the highest quality for rendering. It's all good when it's supposed to be.

I guess this is the pain for being an early adopter. Very few apps are ready these types of resolution. Though I do blame Samsung a little for making these subpar screens. Does the Galaxy Nexus also have these types of problems?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afhum:
From the picture i can't really see it.. Is it possible for you to use a grey background instead? Or maybe draw an arrow to point where it is using ur S Pen? Hehe. Just so you know.. I got the same problem.

Does yours occur days after purchase? Reading from forums, people got their bright spots due to heat or external force/pressure. I think mine occurred after my phone got hot once. But it wasnt that hot as what my old galaxy s 2 went thru.. & the s2 had no bright spots even after the many times it got really hot (really hot that it could cook my fingers)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afhum:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerreZ:
At this point I was able to seriously test 12 Notes at home and basicaly test 4 of them in different shops.

All of them , so 100%, are faulty.16 is not enough to take very scientific conclusions and it is even possible that region of origin has also to be taken in account but I'm pretty sure that all the Notes present the same problems.No one is perfect and the peolple thinkng this do not notice the problems.

I aslo tested the same files in the same conditions on a Galaxy SII , an Asus Transformer , a HTC HD2 running on Android a HTC Sensation and even the pictures on an Iphone 4. I could not notice any flaws on these devices

I'm convinced also that all the problems banding , clipping , grey halo , pixelation and so on do have the same origin.

I'm afraid that the problem is partially hardware ( pentile technology ) and partialy software most of the application are not designed to run on a amoled screen with this kind of resolution.

So for the moment I will not continue my quest for a perfect Note , he do not exist , and will wait until Samsung aknowledge the problem and will try to fix it.

I also proposing to let Sammy know for instance at this adres : http://www.samsung.com/uk/support

Mine came out of the box this way and it was in a sealed box so I think it hadn't been turned on yet. Apart from the texture the screen seems to have I can't find much wrong with it. I've only had it for a couple of days now and the problems don't seem to be getting more severe. Maybe we all get lucky and there will be a recall for the devices ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diament:
Guys - I dont know. I started reading Notes xda section three weeks ago. One week ago i took the risk and bought it. I failed. It got reddish and greenish hues on gradients and of course black clipping. Black wallpapers looks like a crap. I dont know. Last year I bought X10 without warranty. Obviosly some chip on mainbord got broken so I couldnt charge it via usb and connect it to computer. Now I bought "best phone" availible with full warranty but I can't do nothing becouse almost all pieces are f***ed up and another risk is too much. After I received it I was fully decided to give it away for warranty but now I know nothing, the more I read. It won't be easy to get a refund either.

I'm in love with linux devices since childhood. But i'm coming to conclusion that smartphones are not worth of all this nerves. I better get myself Nokia 3510 or Mitsubishi Trium Eclipse which was my first. Oh, you know what was the best android phone so far? HTC Dream - my first Andro.

A recall? Hehe but yeah I do know they would replace the screen if we complain to them directly ;) but I don't like the idea of sending in for screen repairs as I would fear of other things might get damaged instead. It is good that at least you are grateful and not easily let down by this particular defect. :) in my case, is just a tiny dot but a sharp one. Appeared after few days of use.

The banding is definitely just software related. If u use the ics live wallpaper pro app from market.. theres this setting where u can adjust its color mode.. (16 bits.. 24 bits.. Etc) the higher bits, the lesser banding. So i believe it cud b fixed by firmware updates :)

As for apps with banding, mayb the developers cud update their apps and make it suit to our screen resolution like BerreZ said cos it makes sense. Hehe.

After some more research n all, i figured that the bright spot that i'm having is called "mura spot" & apparently is not covered under warranty

http://www.behardware.com/articles/589-1/panels-a-carte-mura-components-dead-pixels.html

Seems like heat and light worsen the problem. But whatevs I'll still play some heavy 3D gaming even if it produces some heat with brightness set at 70% heheh cos gaming is one of what I could enjoy most out of the Note :D

The dark blobs, spots & lines are also known as mura defects common on OLED screens. This is minor in my case cos it's faint looking in grey background in normal lighting and black background in a pitch black room. But the bright dot on mine is obvious (to me). I'll get over it. I hope. Lol.
