Not even 24 hours. I don't even go pass 40% brightness. The burn in is towards the right corner of the screen next to the notch. It's not image retention because it would have faded away after a couple of minutes. Will be chatting with customer service in a few. I'll let you know the outcome.

What are we to be seeing? I only see all white like the rest of the display.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MervinsOnlineID:
It's basically the notification bar. Gonna try get a better angle.

Yeah I just zoomed in all the way on the image, and I can't see anything...

Most likely image retention, not burn in.

I wish that it was clickbait. :crying: Don't really like to go through the whole RMA process again with Google. It's quite hard to snap a picture of it but this one captures it better than the original photo. I played a number of videos for an hour or so to see if it goes away. The image burn is still noticeable.

It's image retention. I don't see a thing. This is a non issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
I think you might have a case of hypersensitivity.. I cannot see the slightest difference across any of the pics you provided
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Guyinlaca:
That's image retention, not burn-in. Many OLED displays do this. As long as you don't keep the phone at max brightness or still images on the screen for extended periods, this should not be a big issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] elreydenj:
Are you turning "off" the notch by enabling the black area around it? if so, that turns off the pixels and there will be some retention. I believe it is actually the rest of the screen "burning in" as it is being lit up and the area with the pixels being off now looking a bit different.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MervinsOnlineID:
The notch is on. I haven't messed with that setting yet. I barely just finished transferring my data from my older phone when I noticed it. Well, hopefully it does go away.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Crazycat362:
Did you hide the notch?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MervinsOnlineID:
Nope. Haven't touched that setting yet.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Crazycat362:
Damn Google went with a Samsung panel this time on the XL you would think the burn in problem was solved... I'd suggest running an app to fix that there are a few on the play store... Could help

Can't see what you're talking about in those pictures at all tbh
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
For what it's worth I did see it in your first pic but really wouldn't worry about that. I'm confident it will fade as you continue to use the phone without "hiding" the notch.

Also, what screen protector is that? I'd greatly appreciate a link.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MervinsOnlineID:
Thanks! Here is the screen protector. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FNNJ4TY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's very responsive. However, the edges are lifting. I guess it will do for now until whitestone dome decides to release one for the Pixel 3 XL.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
Almost 48 hours in and ZERO burn in. I checked yesterday and just now with an all white picture and a grey one. Zip. I've had a lot of screen on time the last two days too. Let's see what things look like in a week. If nothing then, I won't be too worried about it. The 2 xl's that had burn in problems showed quite a bit after a few days to a week.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] firepong:
Been hiding the notch on mine since I got it on Wednesday. Have not noticed anything at all on mine. Using Nacho Notch to hide it and still have the notification bar on the sides of the notch. Just blacked out with white text like a few phones that have done this. Plan on leaving it like that for the whole time I have my phone as it gives more screen area for other things.

Now I just need root to completely remove the navigation bar so that I can go back to Pie Controls...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bxlegend:
This looks to be software related and not a problem with the panel. I know because I saw it on the first boot of my 3 XL. Probably has to do with how it defines the areas around the notch.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NotoriousNeo:
I know exactly what it is you're trying to point out since I also see just the faintest line in that same area on mine. I notice it's not there if my screen is at full brightness. For those wondering what OP is trying to point out it's basically the faintest little line that looks like the bottom of the notification area. It's honestly really hard to see but once you see it you can't unsee it. Let me know what you hear back from Google. Hopefully it is software related like the post above mine mentions because aside from that this panel so good. Even compared it to an iPhone X and came away so content. I did that with my 2 XL last year and it was so sad.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MervinsOnlineID:
AMEN! Yes that is exactly what I'm talking about. Google support has been a pain so far because they can't see it as well. It's pretty hard to capture it on camera but I do see it. I'm still waiting to hear from the customer support supervisor. Will keep everyone posted.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MervinsOnlineID:
I hope it's software related! Like what NotoriousNeo said, once you see it, you can't unsee it lol.

Can you do a couple of burn in test and see if it also shows anywhere else other than the boot screen?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MervinsOnlineID:
Google support requested more photos. This time, they wanted me to use a blue background. That may have helped my case because it's definitely more pronounced vs. using a gray background. You may have to lower the brightness of your monitor, cellphone in order to properly see it.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nW62-zge0KGAzVuUGsbMw68QD4OVlZmq/view?usp=sharing

I received a response shortly after sending the photos. They asked for the phone's IMEI#, my shipping address, if there was any physical damage to the phone and my contact info. No actual mention of a "replacement" yet but it's a very encouraging response compared to my interaction with them early on.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] amaddux:
I can see the lines in the blue, but it almost looks like there are several areas down the screen where its darker, then lighter, like some kind of banding. Maybe its just the picture.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
I have to agree. Does look like it's banding. Definitely no burn in though from what I can see.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
I still can't see any burn in.

Edit...I understand your concern though. I had light leak on a Note 9 and only 1 out of the 8 people that I showed the phone to could see the light leak on the edge of the glass. But to me, it was very distracting and very easy to see.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] westside80:
I had a terrible time with the 2 XL display. I bet I went through 7 of them. I haven't installed a display tester app on my 3 XL yet. Scared to for real because the display looks great to me. I don't wanna find a problem. The reason that line of burn in is probably there is because the notch color doesn't match the color of the apps you use. Like right now in this app the notch is a different color grey. It's the same on most apps. I don't know if that would make a difference but it could. The notch colors should match the app you're currently using exactly.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
This brings a favorite quote to mind and it goes simply "don't borrow trouble" in the sense that if you go looking for a problem you'll inevitably find something
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] westside80:
Exactly!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bxlegend:
No, I'm not going to fan the flames on this one. You'll never ever notice it if you're not looking for it. It's only one of two things, software/firmware or a segemented panel. The latter being very unlikely. It's not burn in being that there is no icons or text present but just a line that runs straight across where the border for the notch is. This discussion is mute and if a replacement is sent it'll most likely display the same. Like I tell everyone, if there is problem that bothers you so much about a device, return it and get another device.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dmb219:
For me the display for the p3xl is easily the best I've had on a phone. I've seen no burn in or image retention. I'd agree with others, if it doesn't meet your expectations, send it back.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
I too see a line completely across the entire status bar just where the notch starts (left to right entire screen. I thought it was burn in at first since the area is sometimes left black for some apps but now I'm wondering if Samsung had to do something different in that area above the notch. Kind of like link two panels together to be able to do a notch.

I actually believe it's not a line but the entire notched area is ever slightly dimmer than the rest of the screen. I'll try to take a picture later but it most likely not be successful. The fact that the display app hasn't been updated to work with a notch on a Pixel doesn't help either. So I'm just using a white picture and zooming in. But I bet all phones have this and some of us are just more sensitive than others. I'm near sighted and can see perfectly very close.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MervinsOnlineID:
You're right. Perhaps I was nitpicking a little too much. :laugh: It actually doesn't bother me as much anymore but I am expecting a replacement device soon. If that device is showing the same symptom, then I'll just stay with it. Thanks for everyone's input!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
I'm not so sure about this being the end of this thread. Certainly please report what you find with a new device.

After thinking about this more my thought is that the horizontal lines in the OLED panel don't end on the other side of the screen like the majority of it, so there may be a different effect happening when they end up at the notch. This could be a new phenomena we've yet to see on mobile screens.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dratsablive:
This thread reminds me of when my Nexus 6P got bend ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nospine:
Definitely let us know what you find when you get your replacement device.

Currently, my brand new Pixel 3 XL also has that same line, and it looks identical to yours. Furthermore, I use my phone with navbar apps to keep the screen from burning in unevenly, so I find it very unlikely that this is actual burn in.

Like some other users were saying, this might have to do with the implementation of the notch. The bigger the sample size of screens we have, though, the easier it will be to know whether it's burn in or an accidental "feature".

Thinking about it, there might be a chance that this IS burn in, and that a specific batch of 3 XLs have it from factory. I read somewhere that it could be that they're leaving these phones with their screens on while they load software onto them, and that could potentially be the reason.

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

I found someone over at Reddit that had a pre release 3 XL, and they also complained about the same status bar "burn in". It's identical to mine, and the one that OP here showed us.

https://reddit.app.link/aI21rPbLjR

There's even a user that also mentions seeing the "burn in" in his new 3 XL straight out of the box. Either something is going on with the panels, or someone goofed up at the factory and left a batch of 3 XLs with their screens on for too long while testing or loading software.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
It'll be interesting to see someone with an iPhone X (OLED version) looking close at their notch to see if they have the same effect. Like I said, I don't think it's burn in but a manufacturing method which leaves uneven shades between broken horizontal lines because of a notch and a full display.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nospine:
I have access to an iPhone X. I just took a look at it using two of the images that I used for my 3 XL and there is no burn in on the X at all. Zero. The status bar is perfect on the X.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
It could just be the size of that notch Google went with. Maybe there is some weird issue with that. Again, I don't believe that's burn in.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nospine:
Same here. I really don't think, and I'm hoping it's not burn in.

I might drop by a Best Buy later to check out their display unit. I'm aware that may have actual burn in from being a demo unit but it's worth a try to see if the exact same line is there (and if it's in worse condition or about the same as ours).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
Yeah that's a good idea. If it is in worse condition it will most likely be burn in.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nospine:
Just left my local Best Buy and boy oh boy do I have some news.

You'll be surprised to know that the unit they had on display had an almost negligible burn in on the status bar... Although it did have (and it was very, very faint) It looked much better than mine for sure. Not what I expected.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
Did you look at both at the same time? Same brightness and same picture/app?

If that's the case it may be that their screen hardware driver might have to be tuned to match colors between the notched area and the non, and it may vary slightly between panels fabrication.

I say that because you didn't see a much worse situation where one should have been with it being a display model. Also, that line is precisely and exactly where the notch end. I mean even under a microscope you will not see it under the notch. It basically starts where the notch ends.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nospine:
I made 100% to view both screens under the same conditions.

1. I used the same images on both phones

2. I set the brightness to max, and later the usual 50% that I use

3. I changed the colors to adapted on the demo unit, which is what I use on my phone, but I also tried different color settings

I also compared them same by side. Mine was especially more noticeable on the right side of the notch where the color change is more pronounced.

I agree that the line starts where the notch ends, and it could be very likely that it just depends on fabrication. After all, the demo unit should have been worse, but it ended up being noticeably better than my new unit.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
I'll see if I can take a picture tonight. Mine is really faint and I wonder if yours is just a lemon.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MervinsOnlineID:
My replacement device was supposed to be delivered on the 24th but it seems that they are having some issues with stock. Not in a rush though. I would rather stay away from the first batch of devices specially seeing that there are more people who are seeing the same symptoms. Just hoping the replacement is actually better haha.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nospine:
That stinks. Well, at least that might mean you're getting a device from a fresh batch. I'll probably just wait a couple weeks then initiate and RMA, as a precaution.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nospine:
I went ahead and took some photos myself. I used a gray and blue image, both at max brightness. For the other two photos I used a video at 50% brightness, which has a particular shade of gray that makes it a lot easier to see the line.

The camera has a bit of trouble picking it up, and it's a little hard to see it in the first two photos, but it's there. The last two photos show it a bit better.

EDIT: It seems two of the four images don't load properly, at least on my end. Let me know if it's working for you. Otherwise, I'll try reuploading them.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rhymey:
I'm 90% sure this is software related though I guess your screen in particular might be a dud.

I've found Discord to be the best app to kind of display this but I believe this is just how different apps use the notch space. I get much fainter versions on things like Chrome or the home screen (where it's a slight, slight darker color change to indicate it's the 'notification bar'), but in fullscreen videos (ie youtube zoomed to fill) i see nothing on screenshots via software or the physical phone

Attached is 4 screenshots to possibly show what I mean

edit: in the 3rd screenshot i meant 'burn in', not 'bending'
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nospine:
I know what you mean, and a lot of people are saying this same thing. But this is NOT the issue we're having here.

The "burn in" can be seen while watching fullscreen content, or viewing images in the gallery (the status bar is removed during this) and can also be seen while the phone is booting up (again, the status bar is not used nor shown when booting).

I totally know what you mean though, and I am aware that the status bar has a slight shade difference to set it apart from the rest of the screen, but the issue we're having here seems to be related to a hardware situation.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
The longer they take to provide you with a replacement, the higher the odds are that you'll be getting a refurbished/returned device that's been repackaged as new. Just FYI.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nospine:
They'll actually do this? Can they even classify refurbished and repackaged devices as new and tell the customer it's new? I thought that they'll explicitly say if it's refurbished or new.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MervinsOnlineID:
That can't be legal lol.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] draiken78:
My previous RMA's have all either come in a brand new box, or a clearly marked referb box with the phone only.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
Ok, my attempt at a photo. I'm using a completely white screenshot zoomed in on Google photos with notification and navigation bars out of the way. The picture is taken with my Pixel 2 XL. The Pixel 3 XL is at the lowest brightness in a dark room. The reflection you see is actually Pixel 2 XL's flash lense (off).

My guess is that after the upload, compression will even it out and you won't see anything in my picture just like I can't see anything in yours. But we both know exactly what we're talking about. Bootup, YouTube and other fullscreen situations have this.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] obsanity:
Ok, just looked at the picture after upload and it definitely made the cut. You can clearly see it. I'd suggest you follow what I did and try again.

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

Just to give more info here, this stuff doesn't show up in screenshots.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nospine:
I can very clearly see it. That's messed up, it's so noticeable. It's essentially the same as mine too.

Once I get back home in a few hours I'll try again, same method as you, and I'll upload one more pic. I think I've noticed that the line is easier to see at lower brightness levels. I run my phone at 50% brightness which is rather low considering the phone is not as bright in the first place, and that's why it's become so apparent to me... Even then, the Best Buy unit still had less "burn in".
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
My point is it might not be a brand new fully packaged phone. You might receive a brown box with just the phone and that very likely is a refurbished. Google does this all the time with RMAs. I speak from experience.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
At this moment RMA's seem to be having issues etc they're not even being shipped out at this point and order status doesn't change. You generally will get a new device or a "new" which is a customer's returned phone etc from buyers remorse or who knows another hardware issue. It usually takes a few months before they start giving out refurbished phones.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nospine:
Alright, sorry for the delay. I took two more photos last night with my Pixel 2 XL using a white image with brightness lowered all the way in a dark room. I still had trouble getting the bar to show, I think your photo is still the best example we have here of what the "burn in" looks like.

Also, to help you see the "burn in" in my photos you can do the following:

- If you're on the computer, scrolling up and down will sort of reveal the line. At least in the photo that didn't turn out blurry.

- For the photo that turned out blurry just squint a little and you'll see the difference in shade.

Let me know if you can see it at all, otherwise I'll give it another go until I get a good shot.

I had to upload the photos to Imgur due to the size, here's the link:
