[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monkey Slut:
I tried it too but it was more pixeled, im not sure about it but movies in 1080p may be lagging using s/w but 720p shouldnt, i will check it later, on rocket rom i have noticed less blocky videos on youtube too, for example game- red nation, earlier there were a lot of screen artifacts now black is more dark grey and there are no pixels but there is still problem with gamma abd the screen is a little bit "blurry" but its not so annoying

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monkey Slut:
Ok i have tested my method on super 8 in 720p, source code dvdrip and star wars 1080p, so i have uninstalled voodo screen and with my method the screen is better! Especially while playing movies, when u stop it and wanna take a screen shot the quality is a little bit worse but still ok, im happy that it works ok for me, i think watching movies will be more comfortable now, but using s/w decoder makes movies in 1080p lag so i recommend only movies in 720p, trying diffetent configurations may end with worse effect, i have noticed after checking few configuration the screen was more pixeled but after few reboots and setting dynamic type 16 bits and s/w is ok now

Thats great! It would be very helpful to anyone if you can post photo's of your screen. Since no one has a perfect screen yet.

Just use the grey test images-

Well, after upgrade from xkk5 to xla6 the color changing disappeared. Now i am perfectly happy with my note. And i have the feeling the the banding got cosiderably better, but is still visible, if you look for it. (at least the i got rid of the ugly blocks in the vid) btw the black in the super 8 is not entirely black. Its more of a very dark green-blue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryan_G:
Small screen test on the note. No lines on any of the colours especially the grey at both low and high brightness. The two pictures with the lines across the picture is where the camera did not pick up the small squares test.

I would say my note has a perfect screen apart from the banding issue which I notice on most apps apart from the Dolphin Browser HD which seems to show no banding on any sites that I can notice normally on the other Internet browsers.

The device manufacturing date is December 2011.

What is the brightness % that you used when taking the photos?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryan_G:
Half brightness on the pictures but when I got to the colour grey, i did min, middle and max brightness and found no change in quality.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonWolf:
His screen is what mine is like. Except that it's the same at 0% brightness with no problems whatsoever :D

But if you use screen adjuster and reduced the brightness even further, you get to see the little scrawny lines (i.e., the manufacturing process of AMOLED). But at factory 0% brightness, you can't see it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Im not really interested in screen adjuster results as that is already using the device out of spec, are you willing to contribute some pictures with specific settings? If so PM me so we can work it out.

Alright, I've uploaded some grey test images in a zip file, these are what I call me synthetic testings which removes the need to perform a lot of actions on the device.

http://www.mediafire.com/?hfxjz8nhymc4h4d

Requirements are simple, take photos in lowest brightness and in a dark room ( to avoid reflections skewing with the results ). You may need to up the exposure time on the grey-5, grey-15, grey-25 . Thanks for the effort!

On my second note now. First one perfect screen but developed a vertical line of dead pixels from top to bottom under the front camera. O2 replaced it with a brand new one. Now I have the constantly changing hue issue. Not to bad set to full brightness, but anything lower is very annoying. Real shame....... I'd replace again but would probably get another faulty one.

Went the Service Center yesterday and showed them the small dark area and the pink hue on the bottom, they said, bad panel and we will order a new one.

Seems that they dont replace the entire unit, just the defective part, in this case, the entire front panel.

I had a similar issue and as you can see at the top of the page, I took it to the SErvice Center for a replacement screen.

My issue was more towards the bottom where the Keyboard pops up, and it had a SLIGHT pink hue on the right side from the top to the bottom.

Waiting for the new screen to come in, lets see how that one is.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Nice, for me i would only consider a screen that is fantastic if it begins to render greys like it should and most of the notes I've seen already fail at this department. Though a SuperAMOLED (first generation) does render it quite good as I've gotten a hold of a Wave 3, the rendering is clean and is similar to LCD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] behnam.joon:
Im pretty sure that there is not any greenish In the bottom and maybe its because of the camera.i took a new photo.im sure that the screen doesnt has a pink or green colour.the only part of the screen that i think it has a problem, is selected with red color as u see.i think this part is a little darker.the background is white and thr brightness is 0% .of course its not annoying cuz u can see it if look at the screen accurately.

Also The pink spot in the middle of the screen is bscause of camera and is not a problem.

screen issue

I have this weird issue of bluish tinge on the right side edge (the one which has the power button) while browsing Market/Internet/Dolphin.

However this is not seen or too evident when I take the LCD test and press for white. Initially I used to think it is a rendering issue, but now that I see the issue is consistent with various ROMs and also with ICS (MIDNOTE) I am getting suspicious. The bluish bleeding does not bother me much, but just that it is there. So what do you guys suggest? Shall I go for a replacement?

P.S: I bought myself a one year extended warranty provided by the retail store, so I am in no hurry. And my Note is just a month old.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Its clearly a screen defect, getting it replaced now or later is your call.

EDIT:

I found my old Galaxy S1 pictures, I really regret selling the phone mainly because the screen quality was just awesome even if it was only at 800x480 with pentile. No grey lines non-sense, no grainy whites or off white tones at lowest brightness and no color hues when viewed from angles even extreme ones..

UPDATE - Return to Expansys USA

I returned my phone to Expansys USA about 2 weeks ago. They just got back to me a day ago after they've "inspected" it.

I complained of banding, pixelation, uneven brightness, noticeable lines, gamma test issues, lack of warranty card or a means to prove I have a manufacturer's warranty (sammobile does not give me accurate info) and audio feedback issues while charger/audio cable is plugged in. This was their response:

Kinda BS if you ask me. Each correspondence they conveniently ignore my specific questions and only address the banding/lines issues which they claim is normal and to manufacturer's spec.

Would you eat the $65-$70 restocking fee? All I can say is that I won't be purchasing anything from Expansys again. I should have went with Amazon but Expansys was slightly cheaper and I had a coupon code. Of course prices have dropped a bit since then.

Generally I'm very disappointed after switching to Note from HTC Desire Z. Poor brightness handling is visible on smooth gradients in GUI of several apps. Also working at night with dimmed screen shows how bad the screen is.

I've had my Note for a few weeks now, and apart from some slight stripes/patterns when brightness is set to its lowest, I am really happy with the screen.

Yesterday I had the oppurtunity to compare the phone to a second Note, and was immediatly surprised by the difference in overall hue and color representation.

My phone has a slight warm (red) tint to the whites, while the other Note had a really noticable green hue. The screen on mine has much better viewing angles as well, while the other one seemed to slightly change color when held sideways/tilted.

My phone is a german unit, while the other is polish.

(I have some comparison photos, but am not allowed to post them until I fulfill some posting requirement, at which point I will edit this.)

I had the chance to buy the Polish version for a lot cheaper money, but my gut feeling told me that I Would prefer the German...I guess it is too early to come to conclusion Would be interesting to see what the statistics say...but I think in a lot of cases people have returned the note because of software problems...

Like for instance this problem with when people have a pitch black homescreen...
