for those saying that everybody has a bad display and those that say they don't just don't test enough... I'm very picky about bad screens, I sent three OnePlus 6 back before I got one that I was happy with... the OnePlus 8 Pro I got is perfect, I didn't have to replace at all
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jinthegodstyle:
For someone who wrote all that text upper I have to say that when you pay even 1 euro (not 1000!!!) You pay it to have it new and without issues like they're offering it! I don't care if you notice the problem under certain conditions,the problem existing! Many users don't even know about it, others can't make the right test..BUT most of devices had issues screen..some with green tint and most of them with burn in! Green tint can be a software problem but burn in not! So if you want to enjoy your problematic screen and after few month's to watch burn in everywhere, it's your choice,but you can't call that normal.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cwalker0906:
Plenty of people do, but when they post , some elitist comes and tells them their screen is **** but they are to dumb to notice it....my screen is flawless and very happy with purchase
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
"Some elitist" [emoji2357][emoji2357]. OnePlus even acknowledged screen problems to Android Police and said they'd be fixed with a software update.

Question. How can OP release a firmware that will only fix faulty phones by adjusting their tint? Any FW OP releases that adjusts calibration and tint will affect every phone. This means Every phone will have these issues.

If you're happy with your display, wonderful! It doesn't mean that these issues don't exit and OP should be called out for releasing an expensive phone with them.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] crzycrkr:
Or people that "just know" that every phone has problems, lmao
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] D.Spirit:
The only software fix to this is increasing the minimum brightness significantly no more or less. Asus ROG 2 (2019, AMOLED + 120Hz) has been like this since the launch and they could not do anything and gamers accepted it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] fahmiroslee:
Do green tint problem only appear on 120hz mode?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
They're different on 60hz. Not gone.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

Have you done the test of setting the background to gray and slowly increasing the brightness in a dark room? As I said, they're literally releasing software fixes in the firmware.Does that not tell you something?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] yodasmaster:
I have a simple solution for you, return your device, get a refund, buy another brand, experience worse issues, come back and get the 8 pro.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
Could the green screen problem be the glue OP have used. I remember my mate 20 Pro had the green screen issue on every one I had & turned out it was the glue used by Huawei.

Have the new batches still having problems?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Noone is saying other phones don't have issues what I'm saying is if a phone has issue we should call it out, not be fanboys and say everything is fine,especially when you're paying almost $1000. I've had shocking issues on other manufacturers phones before too.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] arsenal74:
My OP8 Pro did not have this issue but it did have burn in after just 5 days so I returned it.

My view is though that the green screen just has to be a hardware issue and all OP can do is compensate for it (i.e. cover it up) with a software update, no way they can fix it IMO. I could be wrong and it could be software but it seems quite an odd software issue if it is, especially given that many devices do not have it!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ghoster76:
Have same issue here, I'm so freaking disappointed with this, this could be recognized from the 1st day I used it.

Shame Oneplus
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xnostra:
just bought mine and im trying to find the screen issues your facing maybe some people just got unlucky, or maybe mines a new batch
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
Where did you buy from?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xnostra:
i bought it on one of my stores in my country, we have two version here one is written in chinese at the back and mine is on english which i assume the first was china model and mines an international model.

im currently using 120hz at qhd and have 0 screen issues been using it for 24 hours now.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
What manufacturer date is on the back? Thanks
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xnostra:
April 23
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ghoster76:
Same issue with batch April 23, mine is the Green version.

I've sent the unit to seller for replacement.

Here the issue with attachments.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Naafets:
But if you're one of them, you would also complain.

The burn-in is happening quite fast and it ain't fun
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] crzycrkr:
Absolutely. Not arguing that. Just saying that just because some have a problem does not mean all, or even a large percentage, of units are affected no matter what some people assume here
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Naafets:
That's true..

And most people aren't even aware what the issues are or they're having it. Mostly the hardcore users that can see it.

A 1 hour pokemon go walk is giving me burn in which takes about 4-5 hours to dissapear, even while almost all icons in the status bar are switched off (Only Gaming Mode + location + music are switched on), but it's sad I can't use my status bar for the battery percentage, hour and notifications.

I'm really waiting for a solution, if I turn in the phone it will get a repair which is probably just a software update (That's what you get if you order through OP partners :( )
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Not sure if my phone is struggling with the black crush issue. See pic half the screen is pure black whereas the other part is a greyish background. A bit annoying to be honest and a bit of a joke!

So oneplus are facing serious issues with QC, rushed out maybe?

As it's purchased from a friend I don't really have a receipt, can I request replacement rather than repair?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MajestyZ:
Have you tried checking out this exact scene on a different phone or device? What are your settings regarding DC Dimming and Advanced Display customization?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] vuoshino:
Someone has a video or pic to try to reproduce the blackcrush issue? I want to see if is present on mine
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Enchiridion20:
This is what I see in mine. Dark areas are crushed at almost 50% brightness, shouldnt be that way. My 3yr old S8 can get the details even at lower brightness. Need to bump brightness to full in order to get details. Anyone who has a perfect screen? Im considering getting a replacement rather than a refund.

The first pic is at full brightness. 2nd one at almost half with black crush.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MajestyZ:
Which scene from Ozark is this? I want to try and reproduce it. And what are you settings regarding:

- DC Dimming

- Screen calibration settings

- Refreshrate

- Resolution

- Vibrant color effect Pro on or off

- Motion graphics smoothing on or off

- Widevine certification L1 or L3 (check with DRM info app)

I've just got hold of my 5th device (21-5-2020 production date) and all seems fine now.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
5th device?! Wow! Do you have any changing tints when raising the brightness with dark Grey's?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Enchiridion20:
5th? You sure are persistent. Dont know how you put up with that. It's just disappointing that there's this big issue specially at that price point.I would still want to own a oneplus though. Maybe the 8T pro if that's happening.

This is Season 1 episode 4 around the 39min mark.

DC dimming off, QHD+, 120Hz, vibrant color on, motion graphic on.

I'lll attach another photo, same episode. If you notice the trees in background are crushed. The black parts are almost pixelated.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] GHOST1010:
Did you try video enhancer ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Enchiridion20:
Here's another one.

This is The Ranch part 4 ep 8 around 21mins.

Shot from my oneplus 8 pro: https://ibb.co/DtgnybS

Shot from my s8:https://ibb.co/F50d19x

Notice how his shirt is totally crushed on the oneplus

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

Do you mean the vibrant color effect and motion graphic smoothening? Theyre both on. Theyre the only video enhancement options that I see in settings.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Yeah, my 8pro crushes blacks like this too. There's no fix, it's the display or the factory gamma calibration or something. There's nothing we can do at our side.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MajestyZ:
The shop is around the corner for me, I can quickly swap for a new one every day I want, it's fairly easy :).

But yes I still do have the shifts in tints when changing brightness on certain greys, but it's become barely noticeable. My first few devices suffered quite bad from it.

I see. Have you tried turning off vibrant color and motion graphic? I'm afraid it won't work though. And you are sure you're on Widevine L1 and haven't been downgraded to L3?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Enchiridion20:
Yeah. I think so too. Are you returning your phone?

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

Yeah I did. Tried tinkering around the settings but I still get the same results.

I've checked it and Im on L1. Which is sad. I should get better definition than this.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Naafets:
I've sent in my phone in the beginning of the week for burn-in and overheating/bad battery and already got it back.

On first sight the battery is way better, but the burn-in remains in the status bar.

I saw somewhere I could completely switch it off, anyone an idea where i can do it? Without rooting btw

Already switched of most in the settings of the phone itself, but some remain in there and I want the icons gone till an issue is here
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ghoster76:
The issue could be easily reproduced by closing all chrome tabs, use Darkmode with lowest light level. You will see the chrome with rainbow of tints.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] pyry666:
This post is mostly for Finnish people in or near Helsinki. I called service for a third time and asked more. So black crush etc will be fixed with changing a bad display. And if you are willing to wait about 2h you can check if that dispay has issues. It doesnt matter if its bought from elisa or anything. I asked about rooting but that she didnt know. And if thats a problem just go outside and flash latest s*** without magisk and wipe phone..it doesnt matter if that bakes finger print at that point anyway

Try this video https://youtu.be/fv6T7aHsd54

In a dark room slowly raise the brightnes from 0 to 100. The display literally changes as brightness changes crushing and then not crushing. It's a mess.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] names:
Just adding to this. Finally got my replacement from OnePlus and the box has a date of April 15th. Needless to say at the green tint is there but at least it's more uniform this time versus one side of the screen like my old unit?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I dunno if you lot can see from the pictures but I believe the issues with the screen where there are lines down either side of the phone and along the top is down to the panel. Just put a Glass screen on and can clearly see the outline under the light. On my first phone I could clearly see it under certain conditions but this newer phone with newer firmware it's harder to see. But I believe it's down to that.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
This screen nightmare on this phone is much along the lines of the Pixel 2XL & the Mate 20 Pro, neither of them ever got fixed. I had both & my screens where bad.

OP 8 pro has joined the infamous club.

Hello everyone

I'm about to receive my op, so what should I check exactly and how?

I'd rather not be stuck with a faulty screen/device

Thanks
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrhumble1:
So, you're saying the reviewers that talk about how great this screen is are ALL lying?? Is there a review out there that talks about a bad screen?

Are you also suggesting review sites and content creators got phones with a completely different screen than are sent to customers??
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Huigie:
Cherry picked phones...
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
There are so many complaints about this screen across the net, you don't have to look far. OP own forums are full of it.

I don't trust a lot of reviews these days. Paid reviewers esspecially.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] jayesh_feel:
Is there anyone out there with an actual good OP8Pro device who also has uploaded a video/photo to back his claims?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
OP8 pro has green tint on screen, yes? Back bar Shadow on tool bar,yes?

They are bad screens.

I had pixel 2xl & mate 20 pro, i had 3 with bad screens.

If a phone has got bad screens, just admit it. Don't make excuses for op.

Anyway to lower the brightness even further?

I say it again, the new 120hz panels from Samsung are just bad. In the S20 and in the Oneplus 8.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
I think it's the fact that they're 'overclocking' them to 120hz that's causing the problem. The tech isn't mature enough yet to push them to 120hz. Give it a year or two and theyll be perfect.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] iamnotkurtcobain:
We'll see. I hope the S21 will have a better screen.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrhumble1:
Do you have any evidence of this?? Have any tests been conducted to prove your hypothesis?? Are you suggesting that any OP8 Pro screen that is having issues should use the lower refresh rate option or a lower resolution??

Also, why do you use the word "overclocking"?? If a device or component is designed to perform at a certain specification level, then it's not being overclocked. Are you also suggesting these screens are not designed to work at these refresh rates and that OP is just putting out devices that are running above spec??
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Purely anecdotal based on other phones like the 4xl having high refresh rate tint too. You can also put on YouTube dark mode on the 8pro in a dark room, press the recents bar and watch the tint change as it goes from 60 to 120hz. Overcloxking is perhaps the wrong word but there is something going on with panel tint and refresh rates.At a guess I'd say the tech isn't quite ready yet(see the reports of Apple having issues with implementing high refresh rates).
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] xQuantum:
Even the S20 series have these problems?

What about the regular Oneplus 8? I'm planning to switch to it, I have S10+ Exynos version :o
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] chetly968:
My S20 Ultra display is absolutely flawless. My OnePlus display is not bad at all either but I can notice mild uniformity issues with the brightness down. Hands down the S20 display is better to me though. Maybe not as bright, bit to me, better with it's refresh rate and uniformity. The OnePlus doesn't seem to be at 120hz at all times, like it's jumping in and out when scrolling.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dziello:
Is the problem with screen is on oneplus 8 pro only and not exist on oneplus 8 on internet there is a lot of complaint for pro and I didn't find any for standard oneplus 8 ?

I have Oneplus 8 Pro 256gb variant and I don't have any display issues.

I have noticed the display issue is mostly on 128gb variants. I don't know why. Maybe I'm wrong?

I have the 128GB variant and my display is flawless

I havent noticed a green tint or anything.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] gsser:
That happens most of the time yes.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
So are they still like that 6 months later ?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] RohanAJoshi:
Yes, it's still same as before.

I just replaced my screen because of black spot on lower corner.

But new screen is perfectly same as before, same black crush at 20% and 40 % brightness.

Only 80% and above brightness gives you proper greys and colors.

If there were uniformity issue in displays, my new screen must be different than before.

But it's actually same in every condition.

So, all of 8 pros has same problem but those who are saying we don't have such issues, they are blind. Not using black theme. They didn't go to lower brightness at all. Never use phone for watching videos.

That's all.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Bummer. That device ticks most the boxes for me.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] ZoM4cs:

I almost pulled a trigger two days ago on an op8pro via ebay for $800 new and sealed. IN2025. But then learned that one plus are weasels in regards to warranty and don't honor warranties on brand new devices not bought direct from them.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] FreshlyBaked 420:
Most companies won't warranty anything that's not directly bought from them or an authorized dealer. That shouldn't be a surprise.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] forever_lol:
I highly doubt it, If they didn't address it yet.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
That's not my experience. Warranty is on the product not the owner. Only scum organisations do it the other way around. Oh and let's not forget about your scummy consumer laws stateside.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] FreshlyBaked 420:
For most products bought, the warranty is only valid if purchased from the manufacturer or licensed retailer. Phones, computers, bikes, cars. And for the most part warranty is usually not transferable.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Sorry pal but you're wrong, I think it's very presumption to say what you have.

There's nothing wrong with my eyes, they're probably more acute than yours, but then that's me presuming (not nice is it?)

As I've said in a few threads, I and many other (the majority) DO NOT HAVE THESE ISSUES.

Yes I'm using dark mode (most people do)

Of course I watch videos, who doesn't?

You got unlucky, sorry but that's it..

I'm using DC dimming at the moment and it's perfectly fine, scaling up to the maximum brightness there is no problem at its peak or in between or at its absolute minimum, I never had a problem even before they changed the lower brightness when some users reported issues.

If it makes you feel better to assume others have this issue and that everyone is the same then fine that's your choice.

But don't spread misinformation around as if it's gospel, because it is most definitely not.

---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 AM ----------

You're correct about warranty.

I've sent an absolute tonne of devices back over the years including OnePlus and never been queried as to where I bought it from?

There is a two year warranty on this product and seeing as it's not been one year?

Personally I think you'll be fine, plus you're protected over fair use anyway, if the sale isn't fit for purpose or not as described you can always return it, PayPal or whatever platform should further protect you in that regard.

Have you received your device yet? Any problems?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] RohanAJoshi:
I tried dc dimming also.

But at 30% and lower brightness, greys becomes black on dc dimming, but it solves black lines issue in calling screen.

If you don't have it,

Please record video of following :

We need proof for showing for service center guys that there are good panels.

Please, turn off dc dimming, set device to 1080p 60fps, dark mode on.

Open this video [youtube]fv6T7aHsd54[/youtube]

Turn brightness from 0 to 100 at slow speed and check changes.

For me, upper and middle boxes disappears and appears depending on brightness level.

.

After this, call anyone who has dark green background color for in call ui.

Now, on that screen, change brightness from 0 to 100 slowly.

For me, black lines moves on lower half screen.

.

.

I said above things because I tested same nearly 8 devices of my friends.

Also, for me, I changed screen after 4 months after my purchase and 2nd screen was exactly same as before.

If there were uniformity issue, my new screen must be worse or good, not same.
