Not sure if this is the same but I do remember seeing tiny marks in the middle and top right corner but not when the full display was on it was only visible

when the entire screen was lit up with light black color. Was very strange. It did not affect any of the display tho as in when there was colour on screen was normal and you cannot see it. so i never returned it. But now I have the I9305 and it does not have it. Absolute perfection, I LOVE the colours on the Amoled

Does Samsung have a problem with their manufacturing process?

I have it noted on my Verizon account that I will be allowed to switch out the phone for a different model upon the next defective claim, so at this point I'm trying to figure out if I'll wait for this elusive LG nexus with ips screen to release or just cross back to the dark side and grab an iPhone 5. I do have an android tablet, so it wouldn't be damning my soul entirely, right? ;)
[Galaxy S III General] nikzDHD:
It's not entirely just Samsung I mean the HTC One X has screen issues at first but sorted out. It's different technology, maybe it is a manufacturing defect of some sorts. AMOLED is a lottery, my sisters SGS2 had screen burning and inconsistencies with the display. That's where LCD prevails as it's generally better and doesn't suffer with burn in and such. SLCD2 is fantastic you have to see it to believe it maybe not so the blacks but true RGB and such. SLCD3 is going to knock the pants out of any current displays as seen in the new HTC J, that 1080p display with its PPI is on another level.

We just need a proper RGB AMOLED from Samsung maybe next year perhaps?

Problem with purple tint

I just opened and have this problem, at the bottom of the screen mainly on white background it fades from purple to white and covers gives whats on the screen in the place a purple tint? Sending it back tomorrow to get a new one! The four screen modes didn't make a dfiference at all! :mad::crying::(:eek:
[Galaxy S III General] TheCraig:
Mine seems to have no burn in problems, or tints, I guess thats because its new.
[Galaxy S III General] Skander1998:
The Note 2 uses the RGB pixel arrangement, just saying.

Also, there should be no tint, new batches seem to not have the issue, i was lucky :cool:
[Galaxy S III General] rftsilva:
Mine has got black stains throughout the bottom part of the phone when looking at full darkness.

It's not a major problem for me, because at normal use I can't see the flawless.

Yet, it's a issue Samsung should be concerned about.

When you buy a product costing $700 you expect nothing but perfection.

I found other issues like:

- poor quality home button; iphone's is a million times better.

- poor molded (plastic injection) back plate, it simply doesn't fit perfectly.

Honestly, I'll watch for those things when buying another Samsung phone.

Pink tint

My white GS3's screen displays a noticeable pink tint all over as you view it from an extreme angle horizontally, though if you view it straight up as you would usually do, the screen's pretty much perfect.

The GS3 I'm using now is actually a replacement coming from a GS3 with a yellow tint when viewed perpendicularly or normally, which was worse.

I would want to replace it, but it's not worth the hassle :p
[Galaxy S III General] Falipene:
New Phone would fix this?

I bought a new Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300

[STOCK ROM JB] But first thing I noticed it's some popups and youtube (text description), look like ****, like "speudo halo" not clear sharp. (This effect I have on my SGS on some y-old roms), now my SGS looks perfect @210dpi.

But when taking pictures in low light and almost black backgrounds, I found something ... Googling found the "black ink" problem.

So there's my S3 ink patterns:

Also I have the "Crushed Blacks problem" This image http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/2546/crush.png

On both Galaxy:

Asking a replacement (bought over phone), any chance of having the same problems.
[Galaxy S III General] reactorcooler:
I endorse what you're saying.

Super AMOLED is simply hype, it's still immature technology. I played with several S3s and I know what you're talking about. I'm now using a Samsung phone and I know how bad it is, in the halos around the text and awful colorization of a video. Even worse Samsung decided to equip every single high end phone proudly with its Super AMOLED. Everything look very unrealistic and weird. I wouldn't buy another Samsung phone again until they come up with something better, like SLCD.

Instead, I think Nexus 4, Lumia 920 and iPhone 5 are way better than S3 just for not using the PenTile Super AMOLED screen, since that screen is a deal breaker for me. Screen is the most direct way to interact with your phone and I think it's the first thing I care about.

Google is smart enough to avoid AMOLED this time in Nexus 4 because LG isn't using the

infinite contrast Super AMOLED.
[Galaxy S III General] ch0ka:
All just "for you" as you've said....

For me I don't have any issues at all with my S3. So your argument is invalid.

Go home argumemtation, you're drunk!
[Galaxy S III General] skem:
Galaxy s3's hd super amoled is still not matured yet becuz of the pentile display but Note 2 solves that by implementing a longer blue strip pixel.

HD Super Amoled or possibly Full-HD Super Amoled will rock the display world next year! :D
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Sorry for resurrecting this thread but I just noticed ink marks on my screen after a few months of use. I'm worried now.

What'll happen after a year of use? Will it get worse and become more clearly visible?
[Galaxy S III General] Yusei:
No dude
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
All right! If you say so! :p
[Galaxy S III General] dhouseng:
Has anyone tried using the Faux123 Kernel to adjust the color?

[Galaxy S III General] riecardow93:
When a game is loading in the dark, i see some black things across the screen. At light places this is not seen at all...
[Galaxy S III General] vasillek:
I thing that super amoled plus is okay, i had galaxy s, that display was awesome.

But super amoled hd is really crap, now i have galaxy nexus, at low brightness there are brightness maps and color balance is really terrible, darkest gray tones go over pink... My friend has one really terrible, in dark tones of gray it goes over really saturated pink, and its making terrible ghosts, when something moves, he didnt succes with RMA, althogh its obvious rubish... I heard that s3 has often this pink crap too.

Nexus compared to old galaxy s has much much worse display, also brightness is much lower.

I love my galaxy nexus, but display is the worst thing on it, now im looking forward to nexus 4 with IPS, to hell with amoled HD :mad:

tint Just Like pattern on S3 stock protector

hi, my s3 have tint in middle of lcd just like the pattern on it's protector :

Galaxy SIII

super HD AMOLED ( The Circle That This words are written in it)

Quad Core CPU

It's Visible In Gray Background And A little in white, i was thinking that this will clear if i clean my phone with some liquid and fiber but that marks are still on it, can any one help me to find out what is it ?
[Galaxy S III General] fernandogcuellar:
not me

i dont have that pink problem at all, but when i take a picture that gray lines appear :(
[Galaxy S III General] vpwrf:
The display on my first S3 was fine but the display on my replaced one has a horrible pink tint on some of the light blues. Really annoying.
[Galaxy S III General] mr turtle droid:
optimus!

. See my optimus g has a black line on the left side of the screen only visible in grey?
[Galaxy S III General] Daemos:
The problem is even if the reviewers get 'perfect screens' like they did with the SGS2, EVERY SGS2 I've used has horrible yellow tint banding problems at low brightness, that was not detected by reviewers...I've exchanged and returned at least 5 different units.

There are threads dediated to this issue as well...so I hope there isn't any major issues with the SGS3.

IMO out of ALL the AMOLED phones samsung has released, the best is the SGS1, every single one I've used has no banding or colour issues...

The nokia AMOLED screens are very nice too
[Galaxy S III General] Mopral:
SGS1 had some issues too!

Some had blue tint and some had yellow tint

Mine had blue tint, but nothing that can not be solved with voodoo app from Supercurio
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
Some had green tint :D

I think most people can't see the 'yellow banding' low brightness issue, everyone I've talked to think the SGSII's screen is perfect, but the yellow banding is still there.

Very annoying.

The problem is once you see it you can't not see it :( so it's better to live in ignorance.
[Galaxy S III General] rovex:
Mine DOES NOT have it, i have seen the effect on other phones, but mine doesn't have it.
[Galaxy S III General] nebsif:
Never used an amoled display here. Say I get a pink tint or something GS3 (plan to buy taxfree abroad), is there a software kinda way to calibrate it or something instead of sending it back and hoping I get a normal one?
[Galaxy S III General] JupiterdroidXDA:
Not really because the flaw will transfer to any hue you change it too. AMOLED screens have darker and lighter patches also, so that will be the same whatever hue you introduce.

Sadly every AMOLED screen has its own DNA and also has very very wide tolerances for what is deemed passable by samsung QC (if there is such a thing). I have seen patchy green, pink, yellow, blue and white screens and combinations of them all in one screen.

But if you get a good one there is no doubt that its the best screen possible...

Have to agree 100% if you get a flawless screen amoled is awesome. When I went from an SGS to an SGSII, I was bummed that there were flaws in my SGSII's screen, and I've exchanged and returned many SGSIIs and all of the ones I've used have had issues.

I think samsung's AMOLED quality control has come down due to the increased demand, as they need to push out more screens.

I'm playing a wait and see game or I have to wait until it's out in Oz for ease of exchanges.
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
Contrary of what i saw in the OP. This a video of the GS3 where you can see that there is not a pink tint in the screen.

[YOUTUBE]M_qLenOjbu0[/YOUTUBE]

Maybe the GS3 in the OP has that particular tint.
[Galaxy S III General] demonwind:
Haha Samsung screwed up this phone just like they did with the S2. Some people will have this irritating issue and others won't, you will be gambling when you by this phone because this screen issue is a not a valid reason for refund/exchange.

OP: Can you also test the phone for the S2 blobs/lines? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320942

I'm guessing that since your phone's screen is low quality then it might have this issue too.
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
there's voodoo's fix.

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

it's not a gamble for those who do *#0*# and check the colors esp. the white screen. but i don't think majority of the buyers know that. :(

i just hope, the samsung q.a. did those tests before they send them out.
[Galaxy S III General] JupiterdroidXDA:
The voodoo fix will NOT cure dark and light patches. Also mixed hues of pink and yellow will transfer to a light and dark blue on voodoo colour.

This is the reason for buying online in the UK as we are then covered by DSR and can cancel the purchase within 7 days of receiving the phone. Get the refund then order another and hope the screen is better.

The only way Samsung will start listening and improve their shoddy QC is if we dont just accept anything. Why should we have to fix a screen with an app when we are paying 500 quid for a phone?

i have had hands on the s3 and my mate has the one x and i have to say that the s3 screen looks more appealing than the one x the tints can be fixed with voodoo color also the ppi is above 300ppi so you cant see pixels unless you have super human eye sight if you don't like the s3 screen don't get it simples :D to me the s3 looks better the colors are not as good on the one X

who gives a fcuk about screen tests everybody's eyes are different go to a shop and see what it looks like half the people at the event says that the s3 screen looks better than any on the market:cool::D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Well some good news:

Source:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662884
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
guys *#0*# is a code you type at the keypad/dialer, just like you type *#06# to show your phone's imei.

while *#0*# will show you a series of tests to test your phone's display of red,green,blue,receiver(test if your receiver is emitting sound) and display shows white at the same time. this is very important because samsung's amoled on some units shows white as pink as seen in some vids or complaints.

the rest of the test depending on your unit are, displays black at the same time, dimming, megacam, sensor, touch, sleepmode,speaker, key test etc etc

all these things are important because you get to test the unit you're going to buy at the store before you get i.

saves you a lot of trouble of going home only to find out days later of it having problems on any of those things returning it then getting another phone.

when if you have tested it there you get to ask them to give you another unit right there and then.

to give you an ever clearer idea what we're talking about here's a vid i found on youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qm48mepWIs&feature=related

that receiver/white is the most important because there are amoled screens showing white as pink.

by the way that test tests your receiver and displays white at the same time, so listen to phone's earpiece and listen if it emits a sound.

Going paranoid by just focusing on these little details is just ridiculous, i have a set of two monitors built from diferent manufacturers Acer and Samsung, the Acer has a yellow tint in whites while Samsung got a perfect white but with a blue tint in blacks, if i launch a movie/game on either of the screens it doesnt matter the tint on either all it matters is the content playing and the fun your having or not with it.
