I am using a SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 8 Exynos Version 64 gb SM-N950F running on 1 October security patch.
I am waiting for a fix but nothing seems to be fixed.
To explain Black crush in few words: Area with Black pixel where it should show shadow gradient.
Colour Banding:
Gradient colour are not transforming smoothly into another one.
My phone's screen is ridiculously bad to even look at after this. Because let me get straight i bought this to see beautiful AMOLED screen; not to see this bloched screen.
Anyone facing this issue please comment below as it will be helpful.
And please note that a screenshot will not identify this problem as other display's on earth are perfect. So you have to take photo with a camera of your NOTE 8.
I have attached some photos with links to explain it better. This is happening as well as with gradient wallpapers but i can't get focus even on my crappy G5 plus camera.And looks so much worse in real world.

Thanks to SAMSUNG Customer Care India for replacing my display BUT the problem still persists. I can't even use this phone on regular basis. I am using my broken G5 Plus. Atleast the screen is not that messed up.
Please SAMSUNG fix this ASAP.

And yes i tried safe mode,disable video enhancer. Those things have nothing to do with this... It's the SAMSUNG who can fix this.
Please comment below if you have this issue.
