- Just wanted to post this here about my experience with the v30.
I bought my v30 on at&t's website tuesday night and had it delivered yesterday (thursday). As I was setting up the device (several hours into playing with it) I noticed at lower brightness settings, like 30 and below, there seemed to be some color banding on a white or light color background. It was about 2/3 the way down the screen and there were several lines that were a different brightness than the rest of the background. As I was checking this out, I noticed a dead pixel right around the same area. I downloaded several apps to help look for more (couldn't find any) and maybe fix it (didn't work). So I started a chat on att.com and was instructed to ship the phone back with the included shipping label in the box. The agent I spoke to assured me twice that I will not face this issue again, so we will see when I get the replacement V30.
Other than that I absolutely loved the phone, it felt great in the hand, was extremely fast, and the quad dac sounded really good. I have an assortment of iem's so I tested my 50 ohm pinnacle p1's and actually had to turn the volume down. All in all very impressed and can't wait to get my replacement, hopefully they overnight it to me like the first one10-13-2017 03:02 PMLike 0 - this display is just down right the best display lg has ever put into a phone.. it's beautiful and amazing10-16-2017 11:30 AMLike 0

On the XL 2 there was *slight, slight, slight* vertical banding along the right side of the screen at 20% brightness and lower on a gray screen. And this was visible under bright lights in the store. I did not see any weird horizontal banding, clouding, or dirty screen that I had on my LG V30. So the XL 2 that I saw was much much better than the three V30s I've seen in person, for what that's worth. Just wanted to share.

Aside from that, I can return this one that was exchanged once already can't I? Also, if I decided I wanted the pixel could I exchange this and preorder it even thought it was exchanged once since it was for the same phone?10-16-2017 01:33 PMLike 0 - Thank you. I didn't know any were on display yet. I'll have to stop by my store and see if they have it so I can compare. I've got a few days left on my return window and I'm struggling with whether or not to keep it. It's so great in every way, but the splotchy display in low brightness is killing me. I already exchanged it once because my first one had a horizontal band across the display that was visible in even higher brightness. This one has no bands but is very splotchy.

I am hoping that there is a pattern we can find to help determine which devices will be more likely to have quality screens.10-16-2017 04:31 PMLike 0 - Even though I was hesitant before I purchased the phone, in everyday use I don't notice the display issues. Granted, I don't really have hotspots. But I do have some unevenness and banding. And I do notice a couple horizontal bands, in particular. But does that make me hate the phone? No. That's why the review on The Verge is preference, at best. The reviewer literally states that the bad display makes the phone unusable, which is a very liberal stretch of reality.10-16-2017 05:07 PMLike 0

- I purchased mine via the Verizon website - arrived 10/10. Can't see any banding or discoloring using a grey screen at differing brightness. However, I have one dead pixel in the lower 1/3 of the screen, dead center. Would you return for that? (I'm not even sure they would exchange for only 1 dead pixel). The other thing that concerns me is would I get a screen with the banding issue...

- it's definitely an issue for me. I received mine yesterday and it feels unusable. In low light settings you can see that one side is darker than the other. There's also a weird line going down the middle. It looks like there are squares on the screen that are uneven in color brightness.
Keep in mind this is only noticable inside when the screen brightness is low.
Gonna take it back to TMobile today.10-17-2017 06:19 AMLike 0 - I just got mine last night. I haven't noticed anything bad about the display. I haven't gone looking either. My old phone was the Galaxy S7 Edge, and I don't notice any extreme difference. I think it's one of three things.
1) the Verge got a bad handset
2) The reviewer is just exaggerating to make the point that the display isn't quite as good ad Samsung
3) somebody got paid.10-17-2017 08:42 AMLike 0 - I just got mine last night. I haven't noticed anything bad about the display. I haven't gone looking either. My old phone was the Galaxy S7 Edge, and I don't notice any extreme difference. I think it's one of three things.

However, the reviewer is definitely exaggerating the issue, probably for click bait, since most other reviews praise the V30 up and down and his disagreement will distinguish his review from others. He's simply taking an issue that has some forum traction and blowing it out of proportion.10-17-2017 09:17 AMLike 0 - I purchased mine via the Verizon website - arrived 10/10.

When I went to the store and checked out the V30 the only thing I noticed was the screen looked better than my IPhone 6. Colors were more vibrant and the screen just looked better. I M very happy with the screen and have no issues with it all.10-17-2017 09:57 AMLike 0
