Galaxy Note Gradient Banding Issue Explained - Color Depth

Tx Redneck · Apr 21, 2012

Man, this is my first sammy device(former htc user) and I've never seen so much whining as this. The display on mine is beautiful and I see no issues as described.

If this is the status quo for sammy users, maybe I need to go back to htc.

I have 0 banding l. I actually stayed with the blue instead of exchanging to the the white because i was afraid of getting on with it

Agreed Tx. The whining on these forums is downright pathetic.

This is how the Steam app by Valve looks like - notice colorful horizontal stripes:

(there are vertical artficats visible - these are just scratches on the protecting foil)

The infrequent banding doesn't bother me, but the black clipping/crush problem pisses me off on a daily basis.

It's now clear why Samsung does not promote his Note as full 24 bit palette device ; )

(only resolution stated ; )

I'm just glad I'm not alone and that Tab Note won't have AMOLED. AMOLED is kinda of gif quality. It's like alpha version not yet ready to be released. IMO Note is overpriced.

I'll just wait for a similar product from other manufacturers and switch right away.

Anyway - some dithering algorithms could help. Hope is in ICS.

The colors don't bother me at all. All the people whining about it... All I can say is: first world problems.

The community is infinitely better than the Atrix forums, but the whining about bands and colors on a screen is just irritating. I had the Atrix (one of the worst screens in the world according to some people) and it seemed fine to me. I also owned a captivate and inspire and never had a problem.

I'm tempted to move to HTC in 2014, so I won't have to see this anymore.

You know who the worst offenders are? Those who whine about other "whiners."

If you have nothing to contribute to the thread or a solution, then just ignore it and move on to something that interests you. Nobody here asked you for your personal opinion about their character; but, since you broached that subject, I figured I'd give mine about yours...

I've had a few HTC devices, most recently the Thunderbolt and the Nexus One. Plenty of whiners in those circles over the years as well. Just saying.

Choose the phone for the functionality, not the people on the internet who own them.

You have to look at it from our point of view. We bought the phone with the biggest, best display of anything currently on the market, and you cannot even watch a simple Netflix or YouTube video on it without all the black scenes distorting to the point of becoming illegible. If yours works perfect for you, great. If yours has the black crush issue and it doesn't bother you, great. But it bothers some of us, and were it not for our constantly want for bigger, faster, more capable phones, then NO ONE would have one of these amazing devices.

i own n7000 and att note.only time i get issue on netflix and youtube is when im watching something was made few years ago or just bad quality video.i still think its samsung fault for not coding the screen to auto adjust to 16 or 24 bit.they need to fix this issue with ics release.i think its a software issue and samsung can fix it.or some kinda of hotfix for gb

Excited to see if the next ICS leak brings any change!

It is the same problem........

In GB: I had the banding problem, not the "black crush" problem.
In ICS: I don't have the banding problem nor the "black crush" problem.

Therefore, no, it's not the same problem.
