Anyone with Mi 11 Lite experiencing screen "black crush" or gradient issues?

Seems prominent problem according to this thread, as you can see the pictures of the issue on the official support thread.

Hello
I just received my Mi 11 Lite 4G today, not used a lot, but checking it with some total-black images it seems good.
But on the italian telegram community several people complain about your problem.
Probably a batch of defective screens?
I'll think about returning the phone, if I where in your situation

Luckily I didn't buy phone yet, because I've seen the same ongoing topics about screen problems. Russian's communities are also reporting vast number of affected units, seems everyone got their phones from the first batch, so it could really be a jinxed batch... But apparently Xiaomi said it's working on a software fix.

That's why I am holding off, I don't want to buy a phone and get one from the firsts batch that may be problem.

Can you tell me production date of your phone. It should be on the box in MM.YYYY format. Because as I have read many people with screen anomalies seem to have batch 01.2021.

He said his phone is 02.2021.

I've read many people had reported same problem as yours.

The mi 11 Lite thread on 4pda is reporting, on page 102, an update to12.08 that does something to improve the display.

Which version (EEA, Global)?

 

[berlin51]

EEA or Global....doesn't say, so far.
But it will probably be available on Mi Lite editions soon.

The only thing they do is making less notification shade less transparent. But the Black crush is still there when you watch movie on low Light. If about half brightness then the black crush is gone.. not much improvement. On my fourth pic is Half brightness in light condtion. I dont know is this really software problem or hardware issue

 

[kirin432]

Probably a software thing.

There were phones with black crush issues before and those were fixed like Samsung S9.

 

[sinergine]

What is the best way to check if the problem is present?

 

[kirin432]

Well the problem was most evident in dark mode when notification shade was pulled down. but they resolved that in new update by making the shade less transparent.

You can play some videos that have gradient black to grey transitions like this one which they used to point the problem. See if it has any gradient issues.

Only thing that is confusing for me is some people are claiming the don't have any problems whatsoever, and others believe that first batch of the phones maybe had problems with the panels themselves.

But the good thing is people are reporting not perfect but better situation with the screen since the last update, so at least Xiaomi is addressing the problem.

I have a phone of batch 2021.02 - no screen issues whatsoever. I'm on firmware MIUI Global 12.0.4 (latest) -> RKQEUXM 12.0.4

 

[faizalotai]

Its still there and mine was on march's production date. Lower the night setting reduced the pixelates but its still there. We do really need this to be fixed like asus rog and galaxy s9.

 

[hunniii]

i am facing same issue while watching video, it's almost impossible to watch.
any ideas if it will be fixed in upcoming updates i am on 12.0.8

 

[kirin432]

No other way around....

Seems EVERYONE with the phone has the same issues, so Xiaomi needs to fix it, I suppose with 12.5

 

[estradz21]

screen balance seems to fix it but the downside is u lost the true blacks well i hope xiaomi fix this its obviously a software problem

 

[kirin432]

And what about image retention? I've even read some people reporting true burn ins after short time.

Somehow I am afraid that Xiaomi put not so good panel on this device, that's low quality and the software fixes can only mask the issues but no truly solve it.
