With ubrealifix they were able to replace the screen in a couple of hours. The only aspect I didn't like was having to give them my phones password (they said they needed to unlock the phone in order to test everything). Seems to me there should be some kind of administrator log in where ALL my personal info isn't compromised.

Best buy did not honor to fix. I contacted Samsung again and they asked me to contact ubreakifux.

I was using Google maps for my daily commute and the burn in clearly indicated maps navigation. This is unfortunate. I think this can happen again even if these guys fix now. Am not feeling comfortable with OLED anymore.

I've had my Note 8 about 6 months and yes I've had screen burn.
I did have my brightness up high, but still didn't expect this to happen. Samsung asked my to take it to a samsung repair centre and get it repaired under warranty - which I did.
I know have the brightness on auto and turned low, also have it switching off after 1 min.
Let's see how it goes.

Strangely enough I had the same issue on my SG8+, had that repaired as well under warranty. Gave that to the missus when I got my N8, but have noticed that the screen burn and happened again in the SG8+, not happy.

Worst thing i that i have always have a skin on the back to keep it clean and have now twice had to take it off and throw away to get the screen fixed....
Seriously thinking about my next phone not being a sammy.

I have really bad burn in. Got my phone a little bit after it came out. I can see icons and keyboard all the time.

My issue is....i have a small crack on the side of my screen. Would they reject my warranty claim as a result if i went to Ubreakifix to have it fixed?

I hope note 10 comes with LCD screen option which I don't believe myself. Though I love AMOLED (my home TV is also AMOLED), I think on phones not a great idea after my screen burn in experience.

Most or all high end phones will use some sort of OLED screen so burn in is always a possibility. Like you stated after your first time is to always use auto brightness and your screen time out after a minute is a good idea too. I've been using the same settings on all my devices and never have had burn-in issues.

What is the best settings to prevent burn in? Screen timout time, navigation bar, brightness level..

I've got a question... how do u detect a burn in?

I've got a question... how do u detect a burn in?

On mine, when the screen has a mostly white background, I can see "shadows" of the home screen icons and status bar.

Odd thing, the one screen I'm on the least, is the home screen. When I'm done doing what I'm doing, I turn off the screen, I never let it time out. I never, ever let the phone sit with the home screen displayed. Yet that's what burnt in.

Is there this burn in problem for Note 5 and below?

I have been using Samsung S4 for 5 years and there is no burn in problem, not sure why technology is getting worse. What has changed? I thought it was the same super amoled.

Verizon, had to warranty mine out 2 months ago. Tired of seeing the red Verizon background. No issue with replacement phone or the return process.

Actually the newer screens are supposed to be even less susceptible to burn in than older ones. The only time I ever saw burn in was on the original Galaxy S

Find the whitest image possible (a simple block of white). When you open it, make it over the full screen. You should be able to see any screen imperfections.

I'd be interested in seeing an actual picture of your screen, most people I talk to about it haven't noticed it (no idea how) but when I point it out it's blatenly obvious and then can't unsee it. AMOLED screens from 5 yrs ago are pretty much guaranteed to have screen burn in regardless of how it was used.

I have a Galaxy Note 8 from Xfinity Mobile with burn in as well from one of my games. Look at the bottom of the screen.

 

[donm527]

uh yeah... if you are doing a screenshot you're not gonna captcha the burn. you need to take a picture of the actual screen showing the burn.

I haven't noticed any 'burn in' on my Note 8 but have in previous versions of Galaxy 6, 5 and 4. Mine were all across the top - most part of the screen, the Notification Bar.

When I read about screen burn in, I always wonder and I think it would help us to know at what brightness level you set your phone at and if at FHD+ or QWHD+ resolution? Wondering if max brightness and resolution is just degrading the panel.

I personally have mine at 50% brightness and FHD+ resolution bought at pre launch and luckily screen doing fine.

I have mine at less than 50% brightness on automatic. I don't notice any burn in, have had my Note 8 for more than a year.
