[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I moved this reply here as I found it more appropriate for the topic as it was initially posted on the screen issues.

You get what? After reading your entire post its clear that you do not understand the entire nature of this post. Just because I reused supercurio's link you just brush it off?

Most of the test video's I posted is from supercurio, the rusty nails video is a direct source to his own links, I honestly doubt that he would do anything that you in-directly accused him.

When viewed on the stock browser or any browser the blacks are more lit, its brighter than they are actually intended (IMHO) if you grab a color picker those blacks are supposed to be #010101 but web browsers show them as #080808 ( not actual numbers but estimated ) of course you wont get clipping but you get a scene that is a lot brighter than intended with a greyish like overcast, of course this is actually better than a screen full of blocks.

To prove this, anyone can go to an 'unreliable' source like youtube (use the browser not the app) and search the video play it under 720p and I assure you its the very same result as with the 'reliable' source posted. Download the said video using keepvid.com as this should not perform any alternation what so ever, its a direct grab of the file thats being streamed and play it back using whatever 3rd party application you want like mvideo,quickpic,mx player,dice ect ect.. from there you will see clipping BUT the background is of a deeper black like how it should be ( color value of #010101 )

Im not saying you are wrong, but the issue in hand is different.. it is when viewing your HD movies/series from the internal/external memory the issue shows it self. Now this is a known software issue, what is unknown here is that why is there a difference from screen to screen in terms of clipping severity.

Im not sure if you are indirectly misleading others but claiming that you dont have any clipped blacks will surely raise an eye brow or two since this issue exists on all G-Notes/Nexus, you then try to defend it by by brushing off and say the sample clip(s) are altered and then provide a so called more reliable source with an instruction to view it with web a web browser which in turn will convince those who just started reading at this part that their screens dont have black clipping, its a clever turn around I have to say but the issue at hand is different.

EDIT: Color picker results from the 'reliable' source shows that its rendering the black background at an RGB value of 16 instead of 0 ( blacks ) from its source file, so yeah there we have it.

EDIT2: Seems like web browsers are only only 16-235 limited range hence the more lit scenes while non web browser based players use full range from 0-235 hence we get deeper blacks and clipping at the same time, this is why the color picker in GIMP shows 16 instead of 0

Why upload something that can possibly be altered by external sources, why not provide us 'download' links to these already "proper HD video clips" so we can view it in our devices instead of streaming it from a web browser.

I dont want to side track this whole thread because this is about a hardware related screen issue and the video clipping issue has its own dedicated thread which is here so for anyone interested on resuming the discussion about this clipping please do so at the correct thread and I will also respond there for any comments regarding my post.

If anyone finds my post above meaningful, incorrect or whatever please comment up and let me know where Im wrong. Just post up in a civil manner.
