Screen uniformity issues

[scapeinator1]

I'm not sure how many of you experience this issue, but I definitely run in to it now and again especially when using the XDA app coincidentally. On certain grey tones at low brightness and in night mode, you can get situations where you know that the screen should be a uniform gray but it just isn't. I get some areas of the screen that are definitely darker than others. It's not noticeable usually during the day or even most of the time at night, but it bothers me that it exists at all. This was a much bigger problem on some of the initial units and is much less of a problem now. It really makes minimal functional issues but this doesn't seem to be a problem with other amoleds. A bit disconcerting quirk of my favorite smartphone.

I noticed this when I got my OP3 back in June, I wanted to contact OnePlus about this and get an exchange but didn't seem worth waiting another 3 weeks for a phone. Someone on the forum got an instant replacement though.

I sold mine because of this.

I sent it to replacement 2 weeks ago. The new one is on its way though. It should arrive some time this week, hopefully with no problems.

Yeah mine has the same issue, not sure what to do

My phone is manufactured in August 2016, just noticed it yesterday - when the screen should be dark, left/top side of the screen seems to be lit little bit more - lighter gray than the rest of the screen.

Going to root in a couple of days, normally would just would send back, but don't want the ball ache of waiting a couple of weeks for a replacement. Should be able to minimise with different themes

Got my replacement phone, also with the issue but less noticeable. I think I'm gonna stay with it.

EDIT: Forgot to tell that in the previous the problem was 'top-to-bottom' and in the new one it's 'left-to-right'.
