...

I think all the Note's hav blue/green tint when the phone is tilted... I have seen 3 til l now and all they had this...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Yes all are affected but they vary so much, like for example the first screen I had only shows an extremely faint green tint at a very extreme and unusable angle already while the screen I have no shows it in less than 20degree's of tilt from from to back but if you tilt it sideways the issues is seen in probably less than 5degrees.

The first S2 I had also had this issue, I think those with blue hues have the least amount of viewing angles while the ones with green tints have maybe 50% better viewing angles.

Does your screen turn green or blue?

I kinda wish there was an actual hardware mod we can do to safely remove the coating and just replace it with a screen protector to avoid this viewing angle loss.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inuit:
Sorry, but i have to disagree. Not all the notes are affected by blue/green tint/hue. The one i own now is perfect. No green ore blue tint at all. Viewing angles are also perfect. Before this Note i had 2 others and one also hat the hue problem.

Only problem with my Note now are the black blocks when watching films.

Display problem

I also have the same problem with the Note screen...

The screen goes white and time to time saturated with subtle shades of green, then blue, then pink.

In addition there are serious problems of "banding" by taking a screen that has different shades of gray it is represented as a low-resolution (so to speak with many sections - "banding" - of gray gradually darker, alternating with pink stripes) just like a color image to 16bit.

Seems to be a common problem, perhaps a video driver problem, but Resolves or need assistance?

Also why some do not have this defect?

PS. For EarlZ, my screen turn blue.

I am on my 5th note now. Had returned 4 before and taken my money back. But this one I won in a contest and paid just abt 105$ as some tax. This one has no lines or very very faint ones visible only on light grey color but u have to really look real close and try to find then only u c em. Which seems perfect. BUT this one has horrible screen unevenness. The top left corner is reddish and bottom right is greenish. And just tilting the phone even slightly causes the green tint. While working in portrait mode also I feel the left is warmer and right is cooler. All this happens only on very low brightness, as i increase the brightness the defects become very less obvious but i know they are there. Now i am really confused whether to go for another exchange as i am really tired of the exchanges now. Plus what defects m gonna get next i dunno. Please advice community members?

sold my note :( and bought htc sensation xe... banding issue was unbearable...

will wait fr SGS3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlamingGoat:
Yeah, I'm not too worried now that the visible grid and inconsistant whites are gone - I know it's still not perfect but it's a million times better than before and I have neither the time nor inclination to keep sending for replacements til I hopefully get a perfect one as I'm not sure they exist.

As for tilting, I'm not actually sure. I've gone to a white screen and stared at it for ages from various angles (hope no-one was watching :D) but couldn't actually see any. My old one did change from reddish to greenish when I did the same but this seems to be improved.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Because its a hardware/manufacturing defect, not all units have this defect. Some accept it as 'normal' hence samsung gives us random quality control.

Some say that getting a defective screen is extremely rare something like 1 in a million of a chance ( forgot the actual numbers that they pulled out of the air )

Since you won that phone in a contest try to have it exchanged if its at no cost to you, else sell it off to a person who doesnt really care about screen quality.

There is no need to create an artificial condition (ex, starting at a white wallpaper) to see this issue it can be easily seen almost any where even on a fully colored wallpaper, this is the reason why others mock or are even out right in rage for those who find screen issues they tend to create 'specific conditions' for the issue to be seen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
Earl, so you still didn't return your Note? You led me believe you wanted to do so.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papagno:
Shame Samsung

Then we realize it's a hardware problem that causes this difference on the display.

That Samsung can do nothing to solve the problem?

Honestly, I'm afraid to give to service my GNote to receive back with worse problems.

Fill the samsung with the problem by making public protests forcing the withdrawal of the product or its replacement.

I do not think it is right to settle for a device like the GNote that cost lots of money.

We must demand the replacement!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Galaxy Note screen issue..

this is my first post in this forum. hallo everybody!!:):)

ok, now straight to the point, i myself also affected by this screen issue, n hell i think i got problem worse than all of us here. i got dark shadow across lower bottom of my screen.:mad:

To clearly see the shadow defect;

If you have firmware 2.3.6, go to default web browser n set "level 3 power saving", then browse any page which is white or grey(google, or this forum)

If you have firmware 2.3.5, then download screen filter(free) from market, lower the color down to around 30% or lower, mine got very clear shadow even on 40%.

The Worse part of all is i actually went to shop and check out the demo set, i install "screen filter" on it.

I FOUND OUT IT TOO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM:eek::eek:, although is much much better than mine, the demo set shadow only shows up at 20% or lower.

btw i am going to return my note next week, hope the new one will be much better. :(

I m a tech guy too n i know what some of us here are experiencing, so, to all other fellow owners of Note:

My Note is stock, unrooted, firmware 2.3.6, kernel DXKL3, MADE by SAMSUNG.

I do NOT have the sudden random color changing to green, pink problems.

I DO notice the Black Level of my own video is not as black as the black in the demo video called "lightness & slimmess".

I DO see some bandings issue, but its not so apparent and i can live with it.

I DO notice there is very very very slight blue tint on screen that is ONLY noticable at angle more than 60 degree which i dont use the phone at & i have totally no problem with that.

any Mods out there can help me embed my link to my image? the server dont allow me to post any links coz i m newbie.:o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Had my screen replaced, if supercurio's fix cant resolve the black clippingn then ill have it exchanged again till I get a lesser clipping screen or opt for a refund if its still available.

The only thing samsung can do for you is replace your screen or ask for a refund, the issue is not with samsung but with the other people accepting obvious defects to be 'normal' hence samsung is resuming its random quality control. This issue never existed this much during the samsung wave and galaxy s1 days.

For the cost of the device I urge you to either have it replaced at no cost to you or get a refund and purchase when they have better manufacturing yields.

Similar set of issues from what I know, aside from the visible horizontal lines. the yellow tint is still on the G-note but this time its on the bottom quarter of the phone and its only visible if your using a grey landscape keyboard or viewing the settings in landscape. Its not as intrusive as it was on the S2.

@Topic

I also noticed some screens have a 1pixel green line on the left side which was the same with the Galaxy S1 and Wave, others have it in all black. Its not a defect but I wonder whats causing the difference.

so how do you think guys, worth to buy galaxy note or better to wait for fixes? because i dont know what to do ;/ i sold samsung s2 to buy note for bigger screen :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintin1042:
Hi guys,i'm also a galaxy note owner and facing similar problems.My first note had a defective screen and black spots do appear in videos("Black spots while video playing" according to the service center)so i went to the service center and they issued a DOA certificate but the shop owner said that the service center guys have not put the flip case inside and it can not be replaced.So i called the service center and they offered me that they will give me the replacement which they did.Now the second one has a dead pixel in it and when i went to the service center(with in 4 days) they said that the set can not be replaced but they offer me a screen replacement(though i have not opted for it). So kindly help me how to get my money back(i'm from india) .

and one more thing the service center guy told me that there is no solution for the problem "Black spots while video playing" which is really disappointing and can i use this point to get the refund??:mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Your choice if you wanna risk it.

So your replacement phone does not have any blocky blacks anymore?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintin1042:
no no the problem is still there as it was but the problem is that service center guys are telling me that there is no solution for this problem as of now. So what u suggest me to do now???

:mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
A dead pixel is worse than black clipping, have it replaced.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdgaBimbam:
i have question for those who has these problems? when you have bought your gnotes? maybe it was manufactory defects and now new gnotes parcel dont have this issue? :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintin1042:
Yes you are right but the "Black spots while video playing" is also a huge problem for me due to this videos are unwatchable. And for the replacement service center guys are telling me the phone can not be replaced but they can replace the display which can not be able to solve the "Black spots while video playing" problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Ask a refund then, bring it up to some legal trade department if they play hard ball.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintin1042:
yes i already have mailed Head of Customer Satisfaction telling my problem. Lets see how they respond(if they even do).

EarlZ does your Note also suffers from the problem "Black spots while video playing"(black blocks appear on the dark colors)???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Yes, the new screen I have has significantly more black clipping even on my wallpapers. I might have it replaced again or maybe 6 months down the road I'll bring it to the service center and see if they agree to replace it when they do I'll probably ask for a replacement 6 months after.

EDIT:

If you have a Galaxy S2 to compare with you can see that video's tend to be a bit darker on the Galaxy S2 even to the point that details in the shadows are barely seen, on the Galaxy Nexus and Note the shadow detail is quite great but they messed up the gamma curve causing this blocky blacks.. Kinda mes me wonder why this went past QC.. If they wanted to fix this it can be fixed in a snap I guess.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betoNL:
Just go to a show room and test yourself.

I tested many show models on 2 big media stores here in Holland (Media-Markt and Saturn) and they were fine. But they were dutch models.

I don't know what's happening with models made for other regions

And I finally got mine which have a great screen .

Just test things for yourself instead of relying on other ppl opinions ( including mine).

And if you finally get your Note, and somehow you wont be satisfied with it, just return it, get your money back and get over with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdgaBimbam:
thank you for your answer :) i have ordered from my country internet shop, i hope my note will be fine :)

Do you also see black spots on high quality HD (720p) videos?

Also on the video that comes with the phone ( lightness & slimmess) ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintin1042:
Yes in every Hd videos(720p/1080p even for very high qlty videos).In the lightness & slimmess video black blocks are not visible but i can see square blocks in part where blue sky is shown.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betoNL:
GOOD LUCK ! Don't forget to report back

How much does the Note cost in Lithuania by the way?

I could buy it cheaper from the internet also but then I noticed it was a german model ( I mean, made for the german market)

Decided to go for the more expensive dutch edition which I extensively tested before buying and includes an extra flip cover...and also a better service from the (real) shop (Saturn).

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

I cannot reproduce these issues...

Where did you buy your Note?

At least you can be sure that there are Notes out there with a good screen, meaning you have also the right of having one like that.... or get a refund

This device is expensive enough and should be working pretty fine out-of-the-box

Mods and tweaks should be an option and not problem solvers

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
The lightness video does not have any blocky blacks since the entire color space it uses is #000000 for the blacks you only get those if its using something like #0101010 to #040404.

Download these and check with your note, also for anyone who doesnt have have a look at the samples

Sample 1

Sample 2

To those who claim they dont see/have any clipped blacks;

Do us a kind favor and post a picture with the correct exposure, we need facts.

Best example would be at the sample 2 clip at 0:20 to 0:22

Alternatively if watching and HD clip in a dark environment is not a party of your phone usage then simply save the attached image on your phone and view it with either the stock gallery or any other 24/32bit image rendering application and post a picture of your screen. ( using a camera )

By doing so you guys are providing facts that there are screens w/o black clipping so we can easily address this issue to samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintin1042:
i've bought it in india.You are saying there are perfect screens out there but the service center guy told me that this problem is in every Note out there and can not be fixed by changing the display.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betoNL:
I have a good HD video cam with a wide-angle lens.

I will use it to film my Note running some HD clips flawlessly with no blocks, squares or whatever. I will try to find some time next week to do it.

Then you can show it to that service center guy or whoever

i can also capture some images, but then, that service center guy or whoever can always say that images can be easily manipulated....

Motion pictures are always more reliable
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
If you can try the sample steps above, it would help a lot of people having the black clipping.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rey5757:
Yes, the black block IS indeed very big & visible in 0:20 in "Moderat - Rusty Nails.mkv"

This should be fixed via an software patch or something, as this issue is clearly not caused by the hardware. and ALSO means all G.Note suffer from this is TRUE.

In your attached photo, i can see clearly differences between 0, 1, 2, 3 in default "web browser", but after saving & viewed from "Gallery", I really cant tell differences between 0, 1, 2, 3. Why is that...

My problem is associated to the "shadow" which shows up clearly in low color intensity image. There are some guy over other thread saying that ALL amoled screen have shadow under low color intensity(lowered by screen filter):confused:

The way I see is these shadow are device specific, cause I seen two other G.Note that have shadow at different area & the "AREA n DARKNEST" of shadow varies, Hence i concluded this is Hardware problem. Mine have shadow much much more obvious than the other 2 units. How to explain that if this is not hardware issues?

Those of u who have perfect screen can please post clear photo of ur screen showing white at 20% intensity(screen filter)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
It can possibly be fixed by a software update when samsung decides to do so, this is caused by a really high gamma level on the blacks. A non blocky screen should start to dim at #11 with a very smooth transition going to #1 which is what the Galaxy S1/S2 is doing ( but the S2 is a little bit to dark ) A simple untouched photo of the gammatest image can immediately show facts rather then opinions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rey5757:
Please download the "sample 2" ~ Moderat - Rusty Nails.mkv video posted by EarlZ, I will be very supprised if urs doesnt show block at 0:20...:eek:

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

As much i wanted to do that, i just dont have a camera that is good enough to capture the gamma test image on my screen to prove the black clip is there when viewed in Gallery.. I tried taking photo but its too dark to show anything..

This is the time where i hope i have a Dslr.. :(

Btw EarlZ, do u suffer from shadow issues? at low color intensity?..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
You dont need a good camera to show the image, what you will see is a sudden drop from a lit color to a total black (#000000) this is what is causing the issue. The transition to #000000 needs to be smoother.

Example from the stock gallery 4 to 3 is a sudden drop in black and in the stock browser 2 to 1 is a sudden drop but it has a smoother transition from 10 to 2 but it still very bright.

Image attached is made by under photoshop to illustrade how it should look like at least. The right image is showed with supercurio's initial fix implemented.

EDIT:

Another difficult clip to test with is this portion of Iron Man 2

What is this shadow issue, can you elaborate more?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rey5757:
ok, i jz grabbed my trusty old modified SE k810i(with modified camera driver) and shoot the gamma test picture at 2 second shutter, so don complain the blur...

About the shadow issue, u can go to page 65 where i wrote my story about it with photo. U can even see the shadow clearly in the gamma test photo above with full brightnest, becoz i have a Damn bad unit.:mad:

It starts to annoy me cause this forum dont allow me to post links.. :(:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
Judgin from the pictures, your screen is in fact a bad unit. For real. Go get it replaced. Done.

Won't happen. It's a software issue. No screen in the world will change that. Move on.

See answer above. It's a software issue. Can't be fixed by exchanging screens back and forth. And I reckon no, you can't get it exchanged, at least if Indian law is similar to Swiss law. I would argue as follows: black blocks, especially while playing a video, are a cosmetic issue and do not impair the devices main and core functionality. Therefore the device works as advertised. Therefore the device is in no way "broken" or defective. Therefore a refund is not possible. Strictly speaking.

This is a tech, not a law forum. Seek legal council at other places, I recommend places specialised on Indian commercial law.

End of November. Black clipping which is irritating and - as expected when I informed myself about AMOLED and it's possible shortcomings - uneven grays under certain conditions.

But it's the best device there is, the screen gets "wows" over "wows" from people, there no way I'll ever give my Note away any time soon.

Geeeez, come on, move on. There's some obviously broken screens which look like **** (see the ones with totally broken greens two or three pages back), there's some screens with dead pixels, but other than that I judge all people whining in here have in fact the same screens like everybody else. Working ones. Super AMOLED HD or whatever screens. The best there is. Get over it, for gods sake and next time inform yourself what kind of technology you're buying and it's possible plus of course it's definitive shortcomings.

Yes, yes, yes and yes because it's frikkin software and not hardware. Geeez. You could hook your note up to your TV and under the same circumstances it would clip the blacks, because IT JUST DOES. It shouldn't, I agree, but it does and IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO for quite some time I reckon, because I honestly do not believe it being a problem, in Samsung's point of view. So p-l-e-a-s-e cut it with the blacks being clipped. Because yes they are, for everyone, every Note, all the time. End of story. I gonna eat my dogs bone over you guys ignorance, I swear...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
So why did my first screen had far lesser clipping? I also compared with my friends and they both have noticeably much lesser clipping especially in pictures that looks perfectly fine in their screen and shows black clipping on mine that also didnt show the problem before? I understand its a software issue no question about it but why such differences?

Move on from what? They claim that their screens dont show any blockiness, is there something wrong from asking facts rather then opinions?

I guess this was my biggest mistake to assume that HD SAMOLED is good since my previous generation phones with SAMOLED had zero screen issues (Wave and S1) The S2 though had a host of terrible screen issues. A lesson learned the hard way.

Just because its not a problem for you dont assume its not a problem for everyone else, being rude wont help your defense either. Yes they are in everyone's note you should be telling those who claim that they dont have it to post up facts.

I understand you want to silence this issue which is fine by me as long as we see facts and not hear opinions this issue can be pretty much put to rest one those who claim they dont have block blacks post up.

EDIT:

On a side note since your not affected by the clipping, would you mind looking up this clip I uploaded and giving me an honest feedback.
