Galaxy S III Screen Tmo

[eric0668]

I don't know how best to describe this

I know that the S3 doesn't have the best screen. I originally thought I had a problem when the lock screen ripple is on, with a dark color, there is some discoloration that everyone said they have

Now I would love to hear that this is normal in everyone's phones. but either way if you could tell me if this is normal or if I have a problem phone

I don't know how best to do this, so if not the best way, please help any way you can or ask me to do it differently

Thanks
Eric

the problem...I experience some circling on the homescreens...not on the lockscreen, and not in the app Astro, where someone told me it had to do with a theme

here is a pic of one solid wallpaper i have without it, then one screenshot where you can see it

In the process of making something your wallpaper some quality is lost. This is to control file size, as well as make it less processor intensive. Less resolution means less work to do to display it.

First I must say thank you

So you seem very familiar with screens. Nice

Were they correct in saying the dark wallpapers will have a marble effect when using ripple effect

And specifically to this, hypothetically if u had the phone (you may) then wallpapers that had to be fit would look slightly distorted as well. This could be due to the phone residing or even me resizing the wallpaper to begin with

Thanks a ton for a piece of mind

It sounds like you might be trying to decide if you have a bad screen or not. If this is the only thing you can point to and say it doesn't look right, then I would say your screen is perfectly fine.

Now back to your specific concerns...I'm not sure about the marble effect (I don't have an S3). Depending on how the software handles the resizing then yes, you may experience some distortion. Although I do think it tends to lean toward cropping and resizing, rather than just stretching (and I think in Android it presents this as a box). If you're starting with an image that is lower resolution than a standard wallpaper, then it'll probably look grainy and/or pixelated. If it's a higher resolution it'll probably look just fine.

Hope that helps.

I agree Kevin if I understood what he said correctly. The particular solid picture might have lost quality while transferring or setting your wallpaper. I downloaded a solid blue picture from google and set it as my lockscreen and it is completely solid blue. The same color throughout the screen.

You should try different color background/pictures and see if it keeps happening.
