Anyone else have light bleeding on the left hand side?

[Android Central Question]

On the note 9, the tiny black borders around the display have a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny gap between the metal frame. Does anyone else see the display through this gap? I noticed it on two note 9s and one even in the samsung store. NOTE: this is only visible on a bright screen, preferably white.

I moved this to the Note9 forum for more specific traffic.

Yep. It's awful. Regretting the whole purchase

Just checked from all angles with screen on full brightness with white background but no light bleed or anything else unusual.

 

[nuangel2]

No not on mine

 

[NIZMOZ44]

None on mine

Mine is in a case. Too lazy to check.

 

[bandofbrothers2112]

Nope.

There's other recent threads on the forum however where people are experiencing similar experiences.

I have it on mine. It's pretty bad. I'm trying to decide if it will bother me enough to return the phone or not. If this phone cost me $200 or less I would be able to overlook it, but at $1,000 I don't know if I can.

Some say to turn the brightness down, but I can see the light at low brightness also. If I turn it down to about 10% it's better, but then I don't enjoy the beautiful screen.

Not forgiveable at the price of $1000

ASK for replacement

What if it was like $175 less?

 

[Jewels81]

Never experienced this on any of my phones. Sorry to the ones that have. My OCD would go into fits if that happened lol

 

[Shawn0813]

I have a little bit of light bleed on both sides but I'm not concerned about it.

I stumbled on this forum because I noticed it on my Note 9 too. Brightness 10% in a dark room. I was panicking at first but I think its because of my screen protector. I found this video on YouTube which explains the similar situation on Note 8. I don't want to take off my screen protector so I'll try to live with it. But I really hope the reason is what's explained in the video and not an actual manufacturing defect. https://youtu.be/iRg-UGFTJJ4

In that case it is the screen protector. But in mine and most everyone else's case, it's a manufacturer defect.

I only notice it when I have a case on it. without the case I'd be none the wiser.
