I am not Going to waste your time!

Read it Carefully: Truth is Oneplus 8 Pro Display issue is pretty solid. And there is literally nothing they can do to fix that issue via software as that is the Hardware problem.

For details see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dfF6JehZ0s

I have also attached two screenshot of that video at the attachment section.

1. First Screenshot is from The Early Unit

2. Second Screenshot is from The Replacement Unit

NB: Oneplus is trying to hide the display issue via software update by reducing the capability of dimming the brightness at low level I mean you can't lower the brightness like other phones or like the previouds unit of OP8 Pro where you could previously see those issue clearly. See that video by SuperSaf for better understanding. That's why people who got the device recently are not complaining about that but yet you can see those issue with replacement unit. And after zooming the video and photo you can clearly see a horizontal wide line through punch hole Camera. It is hardware issue literally as they could not master the Laser cut tech like Samsung. So, spend your money wisely!

So, now what
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jm700wx:
Pretty sure it's a Samsung display. Mine is flawless. Have had it since launch day. Maybe I got lucky?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] BoxyBox:
What display issue? This is the best screen on a smartphone I've had.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Yeh, so far my screen is brilliant looking!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenicas:
My first unit had this problem too. I really loved the phone but couldn't stand the tint so I got a replacement unit. My replacement unit at first had the same problem on greys, but I wasn't interested in shipping it back because I had to import my phone to Australia (no official Oneplus store). So I decided to get rid of the grey in the system ui by using a pitch black substratum theme, and I never saw the problem again, even on grey. I even went looking for it the other day and still couldn't see anything worse than what I see on my galaxy tab s6 also with an amoled display. Either recent updates fixed the issue, or I just got charmed by the otherwise gorgeous display. I am not too salty about it at all personally.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] yodasmaster:
My screen is great, no issues.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
No issues on mine.

In fact not had any of the issues ever mentioned about the 1+8pro
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Apologies to the OP, but I have to join the chorus here. I got my 8 Pro on the second, "pre-launch", and one of the first things I did upon receiving it was inspect the screen for the noted problems. Couldn't find one flaw and the display itself is simply beautiful. Best Android on the market, at the moment, imo.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
I have to agree with the ones with a seemingly perfect display.

Got mine on launch and it's the best android phone I've ever owned.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] BaronCarnage:
I had mine pre-ordered and been using since day one. Not a single problem with the screen. In fact it's the best one I have ever had on a phone. Looks amazing. No issues here.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] crzycrkr:
Got mine at launch. Tried all the tests I read here and had no problems. Beautiful display. The people that have problems are always the loudest. That doesn't mean it's everyone or even particularly widespread
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
Yes and the crush is worse on the latest update 10.5.9.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Enchiridion20:
Do you think it's a software issue? I surely envy those guys who got a perfect panel.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
I think it's HW. I don't think there is a perfect panel either, I think people just aren't looking for it or testing for it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Di0g0:
Exactly this. People saying that their panel is perfect is because they don't use dark themes with grey backgrounds ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] yodasmaster:
Why is it hard to believe people actually have a great screen?

I have had my 8pro since release day and haven't noticed any issues, I use dark mode on everything, I have wallpapers of all colours including greys, now, if you tell me I haven't look hard enough, then that's your problem. I absolutely love my phone and the screen. Best I've ever owned.

The phone is not without faults, but comments like yours assume that everyone has experienced the same things as you... Could it be the light receptors in your eyes are faulty? Cos my 20/20 vision has yet to see any green tint, and crushed blacks on my handset.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
How can OP release FW updates that affect every phone to try and fix the display, but your phone is fine? They even admitted it to Android Police. There's literally commits in the source altering the gamma levels!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] yodasmaster:
The updates only changed a few brightness settings, hiding the faults in those faulty screens (which I'm not disputing), and didn't OP say that the issue not in ALL handsets.

But going by your logic, I must just be partially sighted. It can't possibly be that a percentage of screens (maybe from the same batch) have issues? (That was sarcasm)

My phone isn't without issues, as I have the L3 widevine problem, caused by a firmware update, but surprisingly it didn't effect every single 8pro.. does your logic work with that situation
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
As someone who loves their 8pro and especially the display, could you please give me a simple step by step of how to test what you're saying you see.

I don't doubt what you or anyone else on here is saying. I just don't see it and I also only use dark mode and mostly dark wallpapers.

I'm guessing it's not something that appears with most day to day activities so I'm looking for a way to see it for myself.

TIA
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
They didn't say it didn't affect all handsets, they only said the issue was software and it would be fixed with updates . Don't get me wrong,day to day you don't see it,but when I'm paying £900 for a supposed A rated (by display mate) then I expect the display to be flawless,not full of software fixes to hide flaws, my old s8plus looks much better!. They've even lowered the max brightness below 1300 nits (which was one of their major selling points) in a recent update (I think I saw another thread about that on here too detailing it if you want to find it).

Widevine is a totally separate issue,it's not hardware like the display, it's like a server side downgrade you've received for some reason. I can't complain about that as I'm still L1.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Di0g0:
Can you record a video like the one I showed to you, or like the other post below mine, showing the same thing?

Funny that in both videos, it's just a matter of changing brightness while using normal apps with greys. That isn't "something you have to look hard".... :good:

If you said that you can live with it, that you can ignore it or you can accept it, then it's your opinion and I accept it. But saying that there is no issues, it's very hard to believe.

I've already tried several 8 pro's myself, all with the same behavior, and all from different batches. You can also take a look at reddit, where you will find people with manufacturing dates from "day 1" to may, official and non official forums, and even the "official" discord, to find hundreds of users talking about the same, and many of them saying that already replaced their device 3+ times. What's the probability of replacing your device 3 or more times, and always getting the same issue? (After all, maybe your vision isn't a 20/20 in the end) ;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] yodasmaster:
Hundreds, ok... How many devices were sold? Thousands? Tens of thousands?

And I don't need to record a video, I'm happy with my "perfect" screen. Just because YOU have an faulty doesn't mean EVERYONE does. Was every screen made in the same factory? Was every component that went into these phones from a single manufacturer? No.

I'm more than happy to accept that you and a great many others have had issues, how about you accept that me and a great many others have not got these issues.

It's a great shame that you experienced several phones with the same issue, but as I've said, they could all be from the same batch.

Anyway I hope that whatever happens you end up happy with whatever phone you decide to get or keep
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Di0g0:
Did you read what I said? All the devices were manufactured in different dates, and not by 1 or 2 weeks.

Again, what's the probability of always getting the same exact issue with several devices manufactured in different months? There is people on their subreddit that already replaced more than 5 times man, multiple people, and again, multiple manufacturing dates, what's the probability of getting a 100% fail rate?

Maybe it isn't a fault, it's just the way the screen is.

Let me also add, that I had 2 friends with 8 pros (one from 14 April) and the other one from the end of march, and both said "I don't have any issues with the screen", but when they tested it, they ended up seeing the same issues... The reason they didn't detect it before was that one of them wasn't using the system dark theme, and no "grey" backgrounds. The other one was using it, but he left the brightness slider always fixed in low light environments, so he didn't realize the issue until he tried to increase the brightness slider.

Also, oneplus acknowledge issues on the screens and released 10.5.8 has a fix. They can't apply the same fix to everyone if it wasn't affecting every screen, otherwise that would create even more issues.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Rithina:
Don't have this issue for my earlier batch which is April 22. mine is IN2023. It looks like the op7 screen grey which u posted at the darkest room with the darkest setting.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Enchiridion20:
Not too sure of this is a black crush or not. But this is what Im getting. At almost 50% brightness some parts are just blacked out with no detail. 50% should be good enough. Issue disappears when brightness is maxed. Then again, no one wants to use a phone on max brightness all the time.

Tried it with my s8 too. Details are there even at 50% brightness.

Is anyone getting the same issue?

https://ibb.co/2MVZDNw

https://ibb.co/S3bdQDv
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Di0g0:
Yes, that's black crush.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
Yes, the phone suffers badly from black crush.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] lhayati:
I've had 3 phones total, 2 from OnePlus UK & 1 from Amazon UK. Each with a different manufacturing date and all of them had similar screen issues. Only reason I kept the phone is Amazon offered 30% refund for the issue.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] DoobyDroid:
I'm ditching mine poor screen and battery drain camera isn't that good , not even going to bother getting it exchange for another with three UK just to end up in same situation, So gone for S20 ultra instead since it's last camera update auto focus has been improved bigger battery and 120hz @ 1080p+ will be better on battery in day to day use its barely a noticeable difference from QHD 120hz Vs 1080p+ 120hz so that's not really going to bother me only other option as I like a decent camera is p40 Pro but without Google it sucks had a p40 lite for short period in between phones and trying to get Google services working was impossible I know people have on p40 Pro but not working well and slot of app crash and Google services issues , so staying well clear of that I think , and I don't like the edge display on 1+8p it's to much and a lot of miss touches not to mention the well annoying web freeze ups might just be chrome but it locks up constantly I have to turn screen of and on before carrying on web surfing well annoying
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
I noticed the difference between 1080 and qhd on the s20 plus let along the bigger ultra. Not being funny but your going to have as fun a time with bad battery drain on that exynos Samsung
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ghoster76:
I had same problem, my unit was returned to the seller. And I won't buy a new one.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] asaduzzaman.abir:
After all of these evidence, some stubborn people will still defend oneplus 8 pro's display that it is great! bla bla bla!

I think it is high time OnePlus improves their manufacturing and quality control sector instead of putting stupid Color Filter camera and spend that money on hiring good Engineer and buying good amoled panel not the cost saving one.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] N4ilz:
Am more than happy with my display. It's sharp and has great visibility outdoors. Tried all that has been said and I see no issues currently.

Purchased mine from Amazon with a 10% discount. In light of issues going around I contacted them about it and how I was not happy this could be a big issue , they offered me a 30% discount, I noticed above someone else got this. . With my previous discount this phone has cost me £467 in total. Am more than happy with that and still have 2 years warranty.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
I think that's a pretty broad stroke you just painted. Just because some people got bad screens doesn't mean everybody did. I have no doubt that there are defective screens out there, just as I have no doubt that some of us ended up with perfectly good screens. To call people stubborn defenders implies that all screens are bad and some people are being ignorant, and I don't think that's the case.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] DoobyDroid:
Just received my exchange and S20 Ultra by far better display even at FHD+ 120hz looks so nice I personally can't see a difference much better with a less curved screen as well this thing screams premium and camera wipes the floor with 8 Pro just my personal opinion won't be buying 1+ again poor Qc controls oddly that Samsung make the panel in the 8 Pro and there so bad wide spread , maybe tactical advantage to end 1+ by Samsung [emoji848] na they wouldn't would they [emoji57]
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] vuoshino:
How sorry... Usually they take back the products if there is something wrong. I never listen this thing

How is the s20 panel compared to the op8pro display?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] DoobyDroid:
For start colours are accurate greys & blacks look as should and no funny tints when dimmed what a display should be [emoji106]
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] vuoshino:
There is an 'official' guide to test the screen problem?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] N4ilz:
Again this is subjective if you have a faulty screen, most don't and all phones come with issues, look at the camera problems on the ultra. When I was looking at the S20 + and OP8 pro they pretty much all went for the OP8 pro specially as it comes in a standard S20 prices and no gimped Exynos.

The ultra is nearly £400 more i would hope it's better lol.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] N4ilz:
The Exynos was what put me off the S20 +, am not spending £1000 for a chip which has shown to offer less performance and worse battery. Plus oxygen os is the best one out there.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Ditto. I tried s20 plus. I liked it and enjoyed one UI but poor battery life and no qhd and 120hz was a deal breaker in the end

I've returned my 8 pro... Really disappointed with the screen. Older oxygenos version green tint... On latest red tint and uniformity was also bad. Manufacturing date was 05-16-2020 :(
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pyry666:
Mine is not so bad. Still have slight green tint and black crush. Aim going today to get my screen replaced..it still worries me that than make bad to worse. Sure i can check issues on the spot and if things didnt go as planned they can do it again..
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
My screen has been good so far. I only get a bit of a purple tint on Grey's in lowest brightness with night mode on. It's uniform too

I think i ll wait some weeks to ask the refound to amazon and buy something better. Is useless to ask for a new one because i think the situation is the same with almost every phone... This is my third device. Is a bad situation because i like this device

Anyone can tell me how I can completely switch off the status bar icons? I saw someone posting how to do it, but can't find it?

All are switch off in the menu of the phone, but some are still popping up

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] leoni1980:
How did you get the refund? Was this via web chat? Mine is set up for a return but I would probably live with it for £629.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] N4ilz:
I went on webchat and did it there, they offered smaller amounts to start with , 10% then 15, 20

. Managed to get them up to 30 in the end.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
How do you do this? What do you say?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
The status bar burn-in bothers me too, 4-5 days in mine had it.. This is IMO the best android phone currently available but for that display and it is the diplay that has stopped me ordering a replacement.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
I've just ordered a new one from Amazon, I just can't look at the green tint anymore is so bad on mine. I'm hoping the newer batch have a better display. I still have my original one I ordered from OP which I'll sell if Amazon one is good,if not I'll send Amazon one back.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] filjusz:
Mine was faulty too. I've send it back. I'll stick with my 7T Pro for now

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
Hmmm it's showing for me
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] chetly968:
No, there's just the one.

Regardless, I've noticed the issue as of late. Only when I'm actually looking for it. But once you've seen it, you can't really un-see it. So I've sent mind back and ordered another one. If it's the same I may just return it and go a different direction.

Does this work?

It's not visible in person and compared to the first it's much better.not that I'm saying it's perfect,it's not.

Yes it is but I'm wondering how "normal" this is. My Samsung a70 seems to have it too(this is my old 8pro display which looks horrible).

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Vecera:
I got my device recently (10.5.9 SW - 16.05.2020 manufacture date),

- I did download form google play display test and I couldn't notice anything (I was happy), but then I was in bed at night, browsing on Reddit (dark theme) and when I was about to make a post I did see what you did talk about, and once you see it, you can't unsee it!.

To be honest in use over the day, you can't notice anything (just perfect display), ONLY if you are using dark theme at NIGHT and your brightness is LOW (I had night mode ON as well), then you can see what people talk about (once again I did noticed on REDDIT dark theme when you are about to create the post - I will attach screenshot - and how that screenshot when zoom in looks on the phone).

On the bottom of the screen, color wasn't even as it was on the edges and I could see horizontal line form punch whole camera all the way to the right edge of the screen (even "burn in" WiFi icon... witch is strange because I am using only phone for 2 days on auto brightness).

I was considering to buy this phone. Now I won't. It was my first choice. S20 Snapdragon version is tough to find. Also XDA support is poor. P40 pro could be only choise. GMS installation is not a problem for me. I have 10+ years experience in software development. It's a crazy year. Maybe I could wait for this s20 Fan Edition with SD865, or OP 8t Pro with maybe better screen.
