[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predictablyerratic:
I'm having the same issue. I just got my G Tab today and I can't believe how bad the screen is. Everything looks like its been soaked in piss. I have got to find a root app that can adjust the color or its going back. It is way to warm. I can't believe the reviews didn't mention this. I have attached a pic with the Nexus 7 2012, G Pad and kindle fire HD. The G Pad looks horrible in comparison.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
I am using the app "screen adjuster" and with blue at 33 it really helps out. This will do until we get a rom or a dev to fix it. If you find a root app to do this please share.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predictablyerratic:
Thanks. I just tried the filter your screen app and applied a filter that really helped. I will give the one you suggested a try. I still think this is ridiculous. Beside my G2 it looks like its been floating in sewage. How could LG not notice how yellow this is?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
It seems like the rushed it out or something... I had my hopes high with the screen quality and all reviews seem to praise it. I wonder if it is us G2 users who really notice? Or maybe the model we have? I don't think it is the screen itself, just the way they did their saturation...
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predictablyerratic:
I agree. It is definitely a temperature and saturation issue. All of the colors are over saturated and too warm. Hopefully there will be a fix.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dev87:
I requested an Rma through newegg today because of my screen. It was very yellow in comparison to my g tab 3. However,the main reason I returned it was a very noticeable line of spot near the top of the screen in portrait mode. In landscape mode it moved to the left hand side which was even more noticeable. It was a slightly wide line which showed more of a yellow spot, not a tint.

I was a little disappointed with the tint because frankly, when it's beside the tab 3 the screen is 30 percent less brighter and yellowish. It's almost like running flux on my desktop. I'll be getting a replacement unit next week or so, so I'll keep you guys posted. I checked into best buy to see if I could review a display unit for the screen but none were available on display.

I compared my screen to some review videos on YouTube, and my screen looked noticeably yellow overall.it might be that only some units are affected.:highfive:
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woody1:
Hmm, I don't see any yellow in my screen. I installed the Screen Adjuster app to see what it would do. If I add any blue to my screen, it just looks dark and muddy.

I think those people with yellow screens have defective tabs.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predictablyerratic:
I am thinking mine is defective too. (also from newegg) Not only is my screen extremely yellow it is running really hot. Just browsing in Chrome got the cpu up to 162 degrees. The battery temp is staying pretty low. I tried to turn the brightness up and a toast notification came up and said it couldnt be increased due to the high temp. Anyone else running hot? Android tuner will show you the actual cpu temp instead of just the battery like most apps.

Take into consideration that if one looks at a screen that is cold (that is quite blue) a warmer screen will appear to be unnaturally warm "yellowed".

There is a good median like my g2 but the g pad is so yellow it is not even funny.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalingrin:
Agreed, but I have two monitors in front of me that are calibrated with a colorimeter as reference.

To my eyes, the G2 is too blue and the G Pad is too orange.

The initial version of CM11 will not have any display adjustments. I'll need folks to test my display adjustments to see how it looks across a number of devices.

I'm probably going to aim for something in the middle because I'm guessing not all displays are as yellow/orange as mine.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
I am excited. It does appear that some are yellow/orange and some are white. I am in the same camp as you so let me know when you have a test build going ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorrowuk:
Dalingrin I have had 3 gpads. And compared them all on. Some looked blueish , and some too orange.

So I think display adjustments will need to be done individually for each persons tablet. Maybe you could make an apk allowing users to change their display colours and save it to a certain file that is always loaded on startup.

No issues here with my 8.3 G Pad.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingkee:
Ambient light can affect the screen warmth.

For example, my Asus Memopad FHD's white looks 10000 years old paper under cool white (5000-6500k), but it looks OK under semi-warm (3500-4500k).

The result should be much more accurate under dark (no ambient light).
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
Yes but compared to all my other devices this thing looks very yellow under every circumstance
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coleam:
Mine appears (to me) to be pretty white. Next to my phone, it looks rather yellow, but objectively, my phone is quite blue. I threw the Screen Adjuster app on to see what I could do with it, and I set it to Blue +7. Anywhere past that, and it started to look too blue. Still looks yellow next to my phone, but away from it, it looks perfect.

Did you have the same problems at low brithness Level?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgmorris:
Without seeing the original photos it's hard to tell which display is more accurate. Folks have gotten use to really cool color temps so that unless something is blindingly white they think the colors are wrong. Just look at all the factory settings for Led & Plasma TV's vs. one that has been correctly set up and you'll see what I mean.

Now I'm not saying the display doesn't have a color issue but I know the G Pad I picked up the other day @ BB doesn't seem to have one.The real test is to put a standardized color chart on the tablet and see how it looks.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASW1:
I completely agree with the previous post.

You need to find your reference point first.

Something else, in the photos the bezel of the g pad is much bluer, maybe because of the angle.

That makes the screen look more yellow.

Here's a decent standardized chart to put on the tablet to verify the color rendition capability.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgmorris:
Overall I like the display and color rendition seems accurate. I do notice that mine has the light bleed problem with 7 bright areas along the one edge when the brightness is below 30%. I've yet to encounter the blue line problem.

I have until early January to do a return to BB so we'll just wait and see,

The N7 32G I've got does not have a bleed problem but I like the larger screen size G Pad. I've got a couple more days to do a return on the N7 (got it for $209+tx) so I really need to decide which tablet I'm keeping.

Seriously I loved the LG pad performance, it's a top noch tab with CM11 BUT the screen is a deal breaker for me... I'm very disapointed for G pad was in my opinion the best 8inch android tab on the market and 7" is just too small for my needs (I own a note 3 as my main device) as i'm a law student who need a tablet for reading PDF in the dark => Light bleed in low light is just impossible for me...
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgmorris:
That's what mine looks like if the brightness level is below 30%. Thankfully, I don't seem to be blessed with the blue line as I left it playing a video for over an hour and nothing showed up. However it did say that I couldn't increase the brightness past the 90% where it was due to thermal restrictions.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predictablyerratic:
Mine does that too but it isn't as bad as yours. I own 5 android tablets and everyone has some type of light bleed. I guess I have gotten so used to it that it doesn't bother me anymore. My transformer prime has it on every corner.

i think all of G pad haved a light bleed in bottom , because i just tested 3 devices ^^

but, how many times you used G pad in lowest brightness - and onething, the lights bleed just only show up when you using lowest brightness + white screen, with other color, it very difficult to see, exept you try very closer ^^

for me, i never used brighness below 30% ... and beside, G pad have a better Screen compare Nexus 7 2013 ( Nexus 7 2013 have a something "s*ck" with multitouch hardware bug )

White screen looks brownish.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadoc:
I can confirm now that until proven otherwise all G pads have the issue with7 areas of light areas at low brightness at bottom of the screen. This is not light bleed. Light bleed is a random defect that can be in any area of the lcd edges where whiter light from the lcd back light leaks through. Pushing on those areas of your tablet will make the bleed change size and shape...

This bottom phenomenon is different. It is 100% reproducible at low brightness in the same location that is always 7 in number and is not modifiable. I have now examined or owned 7 different GPAD tablets from 3 separate retailers and 100% had same issue.

This means it is a limitation of the way this screen is manufactured. I suspect like tv lcd screens tablet lcd that are not Amoled can be edge lit or can have local dimming. If ours are more edge lit it means there may be less uniformity at extremely low intensity and what we are seeing is the most intense end of each of the back light bulbs of which there must be 7.

No point exchanging for this reason as this is likely present in all of them as a limitation of the tech involved. Similarly those of us with galaxy S4 and note 3 suffer purple ghosting and smearing of white on Black backgrounds at lowest lights since the black pixels are turned off.

Light bleed is different and so far of the 3 gpad I have owned (looking for 1 without the 7 lights on bottom) only the 1st had any noticeable light bleed.

So buyer beware don't go running back for many exchanges hoping to find a better one.

Fortunately us in a black theme bottom bar and keeping brightness above 25% should make it unnoticeable so it is rarely a problem.

Unrelated having swapped a white for black and back for white hope g for better screen, surprisingly I prefer the white model. While the black back looks cooler out of the box, it feels less grippy and is a horrible finger print magnet compared to the white. The aluminum texture feels nicer on the white too so will likely use case less at home and get a slim case on amazon when taking it out.

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

Looking at your picture I can't tell anything. If you can please do the following test:

Go to settings then display then go to bottom and choose theme with white.

Rotate your tablet sideways while in that same menu with your brightness at 0. Then take a photo nota screen shot. I can almost guarantee we will see the7 lights at the right or bottom of the screen based on the screen orientation.

Another question for UK buyers of the pad.

My first purchase was from Asda Direct - pad arrived, got the yellow line and yellow smudges during overheat. Interestingly enough, the box in which it arrived was not sealed. My guess = I got handed a return.

Second one came from coop electrical direct. This one, no yellow lines or yellow smudges during Antutu + charging.

Yellow tint on screen, fixed without rooting using the blues - gamma ap.

However, this one was taped using see-through tape. On Youtube I've watched videos of LG G Pads being opened, that had a : 'Please do not accept if seal is broken' tape on the side.

Mine didn't have that on either occasion.

Anyone else from the UK market that has received their pads had this? And if so from which store?

then decompiled the apk, edited with notepad++ the manifest.xml file, and replaced "resizable screen = false" with "resizable

So in short: installation of recovery worked, but you lost access to your ROM.

Correct?

Now, if you had a flashable ROM on your sd card you would be sorted, no?

I would say, get any compatible ROM, put them on a micro sd card and plug them into your phone. Flash through cwm...
