Oh, good! Now burn-in might be a problem?

[anon(8547461)]

That's a workaround and does not fix the root cause. I'm assuming Alex Dobie's usage is normal, nothing cranked up to 100% brightness 24/7 or anything like that. Under normal usage, IR should not happen.

Hard to tell. The only thing that makes me think he’s got the brightness boosted is the background since the white in that image is completely blown out.

Don't stuck with the same screen for long time. Try to switch to other app that will hide navbar ( full screen YouTube video or Google photo)

This is why I like LG software because it allowed you to hide navbar in any app.

Users should not need to have to adjust their behavior / usage like this. I want to enjoy my phone on whatever app I like for however long I like.

This issue now has me actually worried for the first time about my 2 XL purchase. Unlike the previous display concerns, this one has hit home with me and I am actually debating cancelling my order and either waiting a while or going another direction (Note 8 maybe). Sigh..

I realize we do not know if this issue is widespread or not, if it is IR vs burn in, or if I will even have a use case where this issue would (a) show at all for me and (b) have it bother me. Still, I am now legitimately worried.

Accurate colors, all for it. "blue tint," non-issue. Screen burn in though, would have me a bit worried.

Definitely still excited for my Panda, but will keep a close eye on it. Any burn in and the warranty department will definitely get used to seeing my number pop up.

So according to the ac article. This happened to some of the unit last year too. Pretty sure it's not every single unit. Just get a warranty replacement if this happens to you. Stop freaking out people.

It's OLED. And basically LG's first generation mobile panels.

not surprised

 

[dmxjago]

I am a little concerned too now, but if there is an actual burn in issue Google/LG will most likely fix the issue and start mass producing new improved screens and perform warranty replacements so I'm not sure we should worry too much. thoughts?

True, and I for one, had realized this. I also understand that while the echo chamber is real (potential buyers need to be able to filer out internet and forum noise from actual issues), the totality of concerns now present for the first time has me concerned. :-/

 

[Jeff Dietzel]

You guys keep cancelling your orders so I can get my phone sooner. Thank you. Like others had said, if this is truly an issue then Google will take care of it.

If this is a legitimate issue, Google will have to warranty replace them. It has literally been 72 hrs since official release. I'm not seeing the issue, however I keep my screen brightness around 30% or less, which may help with reducing burn in/image retention.

The Note 8 burns in and has image retention too.

Yep and the s8

My friend has a Note 8 and has no issues.

Seriously! Even Martonik's AC article admits that "[r]ight now nobody even knows exactly what we're seeing, only that it's there. Hang tight and wait for more information...."

One way or another, it'll be fixable.

And I have a pixel 2 XL, and I have no problems. See it goes both ways?

 

[Richard Servello]

No different from the og XL. The nav bar was burnt into it. Completely imperceptible except when you refresh it and there is no nav bar...then you clearly see a triangle circle square burned into the bottom. Does not effect operations in any way since the only way you can see it is with a pure white image and no nav bar.

Me, too.

That's not the point though. Less than a week after releasing the kine and all the blue tint problems, and screen problems in general, you have to ask yourself: when is enough, enough.

Honest, I really really wanted this phone, but cannot afford to play screen lottery, especially when there's more value to be had elsewhere.

Just my opinion.

Never saw that once on mine.

That is the point though. I have a XL 2 and it is perfectly fine. Most of these 'problems' are blown out of proportion. What kind of value are you getting elsewhere, when most flagships are all priced in the same bracket? If this turns out to be a legitimate issue, Google will take care of it, they have to, the phone is still under warranty. Until you actually have one in your hand, not a demo unit from a Verizon store, you just don't know.
