Age may also play a role of vision. Elderly tend to have poor vision compare to younger person.

Again with same sentence as in post #54.

If many user don't feel the difference or they can bare with it, users are happy, and Xiaomi is also happy.

It's just business.

Good that you are satisfied with it, no more burden to return and buy a new one. :D
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Brilliant comparison. Yellow tint can be eliminated in 10 secs but based on your photos I find Huaxing sharper.

The question here is if Tianmas are indeed brighter or it's just different brightness settings calibration (maybe on max Tianma is same like Huaxing in regard to brightness).
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Shardana:
One thing is not clear to me: apart from the best definition (I have tianma and I have no problems of this type or I don't notice them) is the problem of black crush only on tianma or does it also happen in Huaxing?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Gaga Kanasta:
Im not using model with Tianma display but I really don't think there is much difference or or that Tianma display is a disaster as some of you claim. And it is unprofessional for the manufacturer to sell the same device with different panels.

Of course you don't.

Some people are more sensitive with some sensory. Once they feel it, only 2 solution: bear with it or not.

Satisfaction is subjective.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] vanpopel:
Thanks for comparison. I think it is very useful for sharpness comparison, but not colors.

I have Tianma and colors in my screen are definitely closer to huaxing screen photos in comparison. White are white, not yellow, and dark theme is much closer to huaxing pictures. Colors in comparison seems burned out in Tianma screen, but my screen is showing much better colors.

I think there is bad focus and very bad color calibration in Tianma in this zoomed pictures.

Still I think all photos show huaxing screen sharper.

After seeing all photos, I'm happy with my Tianma calibration. And best definition in huaxing is there, but not dramatic (my thinking).
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Gaga Kanasta:
Iphone camera makes Tianma screen more yellow,it's not that bad but it is different.And there is much more brightness on Tianma screen.Huaxing is not the best at daylight- You can see everything and still better that lcd displays i've used but...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] h8Aramex:
This is normal behavior for AMOLED, any phone, any screen. Happened to me on OnePlus, Samsung (Note 9, Note 10+), etc. Basically when you get a new AMOLED screen, it's "fresh", and you have never used it. What you need is to play some videos for a while. You can use Youtube Vanced (make sure to remove Channel Logo in options; make sure there are NO static content) and just play some documentary video.

Few times you do this and you won't ever see a "burn in" again. The AMOLED burn in apps also worked for me, but by far, the video thing was the best solution. Because it's varied content with various colors, always changing.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] arthem044:
I purchased the phone (black) in a local store in italy and got the Huaxing screen. I still don't understand if the terminal is defective or it's just as it is because the animations at 90hz are 90% of the time very smooth, while at 60hz (that should be less taxing too) they stutter a lot of times when closing, opening apps or switching in recent apps.

I'm not talking about the less smoothness of 60hz that is completely normal, but real stutters/fps drops.

It also gets quite hot while using gps or even the camera, like 40c battery temperature and the screen throttle to 60hz automatically
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] VedranB:
Got the Tianma one. But I don't see a problem, it doesn't look bad to me. Because I got the phone for a good price, and alternative would only be Poco F3 which has worse camera, I think I'm gonna keep it. I can always sell it for a similar price that I paid.

Huaxing might be better, but I don't feel I'm losing anything with Tianma now. Idk, I'll keep an eye on anything strange.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Shardana:
I repeat the question: does Huaxing have black crush or not? Tnks
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] shokmah:
Got a huaxing and black crush is like an urban legend for me .

I use P3 color profile, someone said changing color profile got rid of black crush for him.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] VedranB:
What is the simplest scenario to test black crush?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] vanpopel:
I have tianma and have watched youtube 4k hdr dark test videos in dark room and low screen brightness, and can't appreciate black crush.

Don't know if I am testing it correctly or not. If someone links a video and details test environment, i will test again.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Rainman67:
A few days ago i bought a "Second Hand" Mi 11 Lite 5g. Of course i got an Tianma display. In common i am satisfied with the display. The sharpness is good for me. But the colours, especially "black" are a disaster. For me it's not black, but more greyish. I thought about selling it again... But today i tried a setting, which solved the problem for me completely! When i set in "Display -->Colour Scheme ---> advanced settings ---> enhanced" and scroll down to the setting "Gamma" i set the slider to the left side (value 0) and the colours looks perfect for me.

Sorry for my bad english! I am from germany ;-)

Solid black picture/wallpaper from Poco F3 forum:
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
Thanks for your reply. I was about to pull the trigger on a black version from Vodafone UK but after seeing your post I am going to look for another phone.

It's such a shame as the form factor is perfect (I hate big heavy phones). What were Xiaomi thinking!?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
Is huxang on the left because it looks more sharper to me? The right hand side phone is clearly more blurry and I am looking at the pictures on my pixel 2 phone. It's very noticeable to me. Thanks for the pictures as you just saved me £300. I'll look elsewhere for my next phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Gaga Kanasta:
It would be best if you could look at the phone before buying it.Look at these pictures with just a phone with a tianma panel..I really cannot say it's bad.Im using 5g with pentile display but if I didn't know that there are two types of screens, I would use tianma without any problems
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
Hi.

I appreciate your reply. I guess it's all subjective to a certain degree at the end of the day. But £300 is a lot for myself to spend on a phone and if I did spend that amount I would want an excellent screen. Hardware lottery's are bad for consumers and bad for brands. I think Xiaomi have been naughty in this respect.

I think I will the get poco X3 pro instead and save myself some money.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Gaga Kanasta:
You are absolutely right.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
I bought this phone when it was on promo for 269 + ongoing promo for free Mi Band 6. I'm still not using it because Redmi Note 8 Pro is still fine for me.

I'm still disappointed about display but at least yellowish whites can be easily eliminated with calibration and look even whiter than whites in Redmi Note 8 Pro.

In the end I think I will start using Mi 11 Lite 5G as a main phone and forget about a bit blurry display.

Still... I can understand two different manufacturers of displays with a bit different calibration but was Xiaomi thinking putting in THE SAME phone 800p display (I'm talking about reality how it looks) and 1080p is beyond me. I believe there is some quality control even it less strict than in Samsung. How it passed quality control then? Incredible.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] :
Really or joke?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
GOT HUAXING! YES!

FOURTH phone. Green Mint from Xiaomi UK. Difference is DAY AND NIGHT.

I consider this display clearer than Redmi Note 8 Pro while Tianma is clearly the worst performer. What an absolute joke. I wasn't convinced that difference is there but after displays side by side showed by one user I knew I couldn't go wrong with this last gamble.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Shardana:
4 Attempts for the good screen. Basically 3/4 are Tianma. I don't know how people don't notice problems, everyone you ask says "he looks perfect" or "he has no problems with blacks". In practice, we only in this group find those damaged? Do we have the magnet for those tianma? It seems quite strange to me.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
I can understand one can used to it but one can't deny difference (it terms of sharpness) unless having minimum minor problem with eyes. Difference is THERE. I saw this out of the box during setup. I knew it's Huaxing even though I was resigned and saying to myself "yeah, give me another Tianma so I can return it". Now I have both Tianma and Huaxing side by side and can't say to myself that it's imagination.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
Congrats buddy! I'm glad you took another chance and came up trumps with a better screen. I'm tempted to pick one up myself but I've already bought the x3 pro. It's a little heavy but I'm getting used to it.

Enjoy your phone!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Thanks. I haven't seen X3 Pro but considering all specs I don't think it's worth to pay for 11 Lite 5G almost double. However, if weight it's important, then yeah, I say "yes". But only if you will be lucky to get Huaxing because Tianma's sharpness after using LCD in X3 Pro will be unacceptable for you.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
I'd like to correct myself. I took into consideration a few wallpapers, small texts and in the end Redmi Note 8 Pro wins in terms of overall sharpness. To simplify I would say RN8 Pro is real 1080p, Huaxing is something like 1020p and Tianma is around 770-840p. It's better then 720p LCD but very far from 1080p.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Warren_Orange:
Did you order from the Xiaomi UK store? When did you order? I wonder if they've already sold out the batch you bought 🤔 ??

I'm tempted to order a green one but like you said it's double the x3 pro. Not sure what to do!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Yes. Just a few days ago. It's from May 2021 (date on the box). If weight is important, order and return for free if it's not Huaxing.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Raz0r1911:
But, but Tianma is okay, difference is hardly noticeable, it's just deluded us who are overreacting!

Joking aside, glad you managed to sort that out, no more eye strain for you.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Exactly... I'm wondering if Xiaomi pays less for Tianma's displays. And why they accepted those if let's say price is similar to what Huaxing expects. You just CAN'T mount in same phone model displays with different (real) resolution because of pixel arrangement. It makes zero sense. In the end they (almost) get away with this and it's not being mentioned that often outside XDA.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Interesting observation. Looks like black crush exists only on Huaxing displays. I checked both Tianmas and no problem in Netflix while all HDR compatible movies in Netflix app are affected. Also colours are broken. No big deal for me as I rarely use Netflix on phone and usually for non HDR TV series but it needs to be fixed. It's defo a software thing because when I expand notifications panel during broadcast it fixes colours in the background.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] tolkaNo:
Anyone know if the 4G models ever come with huaxing panels?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Shardana:
No, I had a Tianma in 4G and the black crush was very visible. Now I have Tianma with 5G and black crush is hardly noticeable (but it's here)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
May I ask why you consider 4G version? I have Redmi Note 8 Pro with Mediatek processor almost equivalent to Snap 732. Yes, it's generally still fine but Snap 780 is way, way faster, snappier etc. If you want to take advantage of 90 Hz panel, Snap 780 is a must.

Also if you check on YT, cameras in 5G does visibly better job. They are the same except selfie but as probably half of the job does the processor and half sensor, here is the difference.

And if only 5G comes with Huaxing, it's worth paying more defo.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] tolkaNo:
The 4G version is fast enough for me, but it looks like ill have to order the 5G version anyway since im not sure if any of the 4G models come with the huaxing panel at all
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] laviniu_c:
the 4g version also has smth the 5g is still missing.

proper roms as opposed to miui :p

apart from this rant, tianma here 4g black

havent seen a huaxing yet on the courbet.

p.s. and no you dont "have to" switch, like countless users said before it's subjective. if you're happy with your screen then use it. i have a hunch that they seeded a limited number of huaxings at first and further batches are all tianma for 5g anyway. we'd need batch numbers to confirm, mine-s 2021.04
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] chaotico:
Guys i just bought Mi 11 Lite 5G Truffle Black, production date 05/2021. I ran log check DisplayDxe is K9 42 02 0b - is it good display?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] laviniu_c:

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] chaotico:
Great i was lucky then, display looks excellent very sharp and no black crush.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] laviniu_c:
still curious if they make the 4g version with huaxing or just tianma? (not that ill switch, cant be bothered to wait another week for the bl unlock)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] laviniu_c:
silly question for the guys happy to get the huaxing, did you guys remove the screen protector on both (or left them both on) before comparing :p ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Left them both. Genuine screen protector is magnet for dust and it visibly damages screen clarity. Makes Tianma even worse. :P

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
4G version with Tianma then. Enjoy your phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] axicos:
So I can confirm this is visible and it bothers you when reading, especially on white backgrounds.

I bought the mi 11 lite 5g jul 30 from eMag Romania and I did not know about this issue and even did not find this forum when searching for phone problems...

After unboxing and starting the setup something was fishy... My eyes could not focus the text without straining.... I thought it might be just me, but once the setup was done and apps installed I started normal usage.

Then my eyes hurt, no you can't spend a long time reading on this screen. But I thought it was just me... So I updated to mi 12.5.3, played with settings and indeed you could find some more acceptable setting and it' s better on warmed setting, maybe read mode etc., But you can still feel it.

So I started searching and came here, ran the debug and no surprise:

MDPPLATFORM_PANEL_K9_TIANMA_NT37701_MP_FHD_PLUS_DSC_CMD

DisplayDxe: K9 36 02 0a C0 amoled dsc cmd

DisplayDxe: Resolution 1080x2400 (1 intf)

For me it is unacceptable and as I am at my first xiaomi phone I am deeply disappointed 😞.

I do mention that I am coming from a Samsung S9+, so maybe my expectations were hight, but I did not expect a flagship, just a decent display.

And I can say the display is good, except for text. This is really going to hurt your eyes in the long term, again predominantly obvious on white background.

I will return it. Any advice on replacements?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Just try as long as you will get the one you want... Tianma is brighter on a good side. Still. Blurriness is terrible.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] doclucas:
Just received my phone, ran the ADB command and found it's DisplayDxe: K9 42 02 0b amoled dsc cmd!! (Huaxing) :)

Purchased it (the black color) on eBay from this USA seller page: https://www.ebay.com/itm/194143992052
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Maneep:
Received my black 5G version direct from Vodafone today.

Switched it on to run the bug report and immediately noticed that the display text, shapes and icons were not as sharp as my Huawei P30. I generated the report, scrolled down looking for the display codes but unsurprisingly saw the word Tianma.

I'll be returning it to my local Vodafone store for a refund.

I've placed an order directly from Xiaomi (with a free watch) that should arrive sometime this week. Truffle black again but something tells me that I should've tried a different colour.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
3 we've got from Voda were Tianma. So another one. They obviously have only black Tianmas.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Maneep:
Looks like it. And they're probably aware of the issue hence the cheapest price in the UK.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Gaga Kanasta:
Mine black 5g is Hua... 05/2021

My wifes bubblegum blue is Tianma 03/2021
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
They were selling this phone for £269 like 6-7 weeks ago. And on top of that there was a promotion giving you free Mi Band 6. So amazing price. But Tianma only most probably. Just wondering if they were really aware of the issue or it was just a coincidence. Xiaomi till now haven't changed stance and they say "specification says there is 1080p panel" and that's it. All panels are same quality in their opinion.

I ordered "green" from Xiaomi UK and it was finally Huaxing if that helps.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
I meant from Vodafone UK. They have only black.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Maneep:
Received my Mi 11 lite 5G directly from Xiaomi today. Truffle black and more importantly: DisplayDxe: K9 42 02 0b (Huaxing)!

I put it side by side with the Vodafone/Tianma handset and there is a clear difference. However, I still think that my P30 is sharper than both.

Paid £314 using a referral code discount. The Mi Watch lite also came with the phone, I'll stick that on eBay tomorrow.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] blackhawk:
Wow. What a insane issue and rude surprise.

Great thread OP🤗
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Might be. P30 is a flagship and Mi 11 is... Lite. Also they advertised this display as super thin so it could also affect overall quality. I think in the end Huaxing has acceptable quality and Tianma not (would be fine for £150 phone).
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Kianush:
I was deciding to get this phone but after seeing this thread my memories came back!

I have a poco x3 nfc which has an LCD panel with the same two manufacturers!

All people complained about those awful tianma panels (imagine a manufacturer in 2020 that cant even make good LCD panels. Im not surprised to see this thread and to know they cant make good OLED ones either!)

Anyways, I was lucky enough to have the huaxing panel and so far I could say the panel is absolutely excellent!

I just dont like the heftiness of the phone and the occasional lags here and there drive me crazy.

So I have 2 questions.

First, because the bug report on Mi 11 lite 5g doesnt show the panel branding and it just shows some numbers, how do you understand which panel it's got? what's the code numbers for huaxing/tianma?

Also, does Poco f3 also have multiple panel manufactures or it's all good? because that's my second option (surprisingly it's even cheaper than mi 11 lite 5g in my country while having a better cpu + 120hz panel)

Anybody find solution for Netflix movies in HDR? Is it only mine phone or all HDR movies look like disaster for you?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Andre677:
I also have a problem with HDR movies on Netflix and YouTube. I have a huaxing display, MIUI 12.5.3. Was the problem also in older versions of MIUI?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Yes, it was. I double check on my gfs Tianma but if I remember correctly there was no such problem on Tianma.

Huaxing: much better overall clarity but a bit lower brightness and HDR issues

Tianma: blurry but a bit brighter and no HDR problem

Maybe something in between next time Xiaomi? :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Andre677:
Yes, I didn't have it on Tiamna either, but I prefer huxing anyway.

Let me know if you fix the HDR problem, thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Oh yes, I agree!

This is defo software or HDR calibration issue. They need to solve it on their side I'm afraid if we both have the same problem. Fortunately I don't mind Netflix HDR issues. If I use Netflix on phone, it's for 10-15 minutes to watch Office and that's it. It would be a waste to watch 4k HDR movies on a phone. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] pl1992aw:
First check if your device have Widevine L1.

If your phone got Widevine is L3, you will have problem watching videos in high quality.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Andre677:
according to Netflix Widevine L1.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] FalconXFalcon:
Just thought I'd add my own experience here:

I got my Mi 11 Lite 5G from a store called SmartShop in Hungary, it was imported by the Netherlands, and it's a Huaxing model, I'm very happy with it!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Anybody use AccuBattery to measure battery health? Very disappointed after 28 sessions of measurement. Only 3825 mAh. Not that much compared to advertised 4250. This is pretty reliable app I believe. Mine Redmi Note 8 Pro has 96% after a year. Mi 11 Lite 5G 90% after a month.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Kianush:
depends on your charging habits. not using the device while charging etc. but all in all I believe the phone doesnt have a very good battery,
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] chaotico:
Yes i was measuring, first charge health was 4300mah after that i get constant 3900 mah i think accubattery app is not showing correct or maybe phone battery is not factory calibrated correctly.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] sirgoldi:
Exactly the same. First charging high and every next one lower than that.
