OK the weirdness continues. Now my official release looks like the one in the middle. That's the one from the pre release.
I can say that flashing the pre release went without error and the other did have a hiccup. Yesterday I had cleared caches to see if that was the reason but the third pic stayed the same.
Today I cleared them again and also cleared Google play data cache. Now it looks like the pre release photo above. I can't think of anything else I altered today or last night.

I can confirm this. Didn't want to post because it makes no sense. I didn't even clear my cache or change anything with my ROM. Yesterday I had a hard clip between 6-7. Now today, EXACT same image, viewing in the same app (Quickpic on 32-bit) and same brightness, mine looks just like your middle image.

Do you guys have a link to the grayscale pic you are using to test this? Thanks

Thanks, I checked out that post prior to posting here, but it was giving me an error when dl from my phone. I'll try again on my pc.

All I can say is this has to do with Quickpic. The clipping is obvious in Gallery, Dropbox, any other image viewer. But with Quickpic, it shows the hard clipping for a split second, then flashes to a decent transition across the numbers. I thought it was the 32-bit mode, but turning that off and on has no effect. No real changes honestly, just strange the Quickpic is showing something completely different today over yesterday.

I'd agree with that because I see that quick flash too. Didn't quickpic update last night? Hmmm

I can confirm this as well, with the latest update of QuickPic. I am still on DAGr8's Alpha 2. Same exact behavior.

Holy crap this damn image thing is busted...
Well I can't get the third one to show up, even after trying four times...
Here is the official seraphim from this morning.

Looks like crap, almost as mine. Mine is even worse. 2.3.6.

I was wondering if the "fix" of moving the cut off to just below the #4 rectangle (mine is just below #1) results in a more pleasing (albeit still not correct) viewing experience.

A recent post (deleted?) by Stang70Fastback had a link to the Glee demo video played back on a Note that displayed much less crushing effect.:

Although I'm not able to clearly see what his gamma test pattern looked like, I'm guessing that it might be similar to yours.

You should be viewing this on qikpic on u r phone and not on your web page.

I wish i knew. This is all so confusing. All i know is that the screen issue is there. And it has something to do with both the bit depth, palette and maybe the screen itself.
If i use Voodoo adjuster and pull it to the left then the whole screen turns into total BLACK CRUSH. If i move it at about 80% left then i get 0-8 completely black in pattern as opposed to 0-4 in normal lighting.

Also = the pattern looks COMPLETELY black in full rgb on my Philips Full hd TV.

Yeah right, the mods will just lock it like the last one with 500 posts:

This issue is honestly the only reason I'm even considering a SGS3. I watch A LOT of videos on my Note, and the crush is there in practically all of them -- which is especially embarrassing if you're trying to show someone else a video. I've even had several people ask me what is wrong with my screen!

Sadly, since they share screen tech, I suspect the SGS3 may also suffer from at least a little black clipping... I guess we'll all find out soon enough.

Is the screen on the gs3 the same pentile or whatever its called by Samsung?

Yes. It's supposed to be a slightly improved version, but it's still just a pentile Super AMOLED (without the "plus") like we have in our Note...

Dark Sol · May 31, 2012

Just for reference. Here is a good black test here too:

my bad note shoes all like brownish grey...not even black
LCD on the contrary shows gradient from white to complete black
