Who else has backlight bleed?

[TheJesus]

There have been a few reports on Reddit of backlight bleed in demo units. Personally, one of my Raspberry Rose units has the backlight bleed (between the home and app switcher buttons, aka circle and square) and the other does not. I created a form to get an idea if this issue is widespread (like the G2x) or if maybe it's just an early batch problem or it's really not a problem and just a few flawed units. Please contribute to the form either way, the more data the better.

For reference, this is a bad case of the backlight bleed:

I have a slight bleed at bottom that I would never noticed without you pointing it out.

I have it as well right in between the circle and the square button...not cool for a brand new phone to have this problem right from the start...time to have Verizon send me a new one

Sorry! It's not noticeable on certain screens, seems like solid white/light gray is most prone to showing it. My G2x didn't have much bleed, but that had a whole class action lawsuit against it.

Light bleed is a complaint on a lot of devices even tv's.

I as well have the light bleed in that same exact spot. Yours looks a lot worse than mine though. To be honest, I think it's mainly an LG thing to have something slightly wrong with their displays. I've had their v10 and every flagship after that besides the v30 and they always had that slight light bleed issue

Yeah, but at least the V10/20 had a secondary backlight with a weird screen design to blame it on. I'd actually understand it more if the bleed on this one was around the notch, the bottom doesn't make much sense.

I think it does since the bottom is where all the ports are.

There's a tiny amount of backlight bleed on mine. Right at the bottom of the screen, just like in your picture. Just not nearly as bad. In fact, I didn't notice it until I went looking for it. Picked up a gray one from T-Mobile yesterday.

Just exchanged mine at TMobile. Exact location of bleed

Did it fix it?

 

[comhack]

I had a small mark at the exact same spot as the OP so I will be exchanging mine at Tmobile when they open in 2 hours.

In my experience, bleeding does spread over time. I am on Jump on Demand and will probably only keep this for less than 6 months but still, now that I have noticed the spot, it will drive me nuts.

Yep, new one is flawless

 

[MissFlo]

why is that more with the gray one ?

 

[AarSyl]

Well, thanks for that. Just realized I have one in the exact same spot, too. I don't think it will drive me nuts, but now I know it's there.

im on HK/SG set. my screen is perfect.. no such issue

I have the light bleed as well, I bought mine off craigslist and now I can't even walk into a store to exchange. So looks like I'm screwed and can't even exchange. And I don't know if LG will do anything if I contact them. They rejected my LG promise registration for 2nd year warranty since I didn't buy directly from an authorized retailer.

you should still have manufacturer warranty. you'll have to sent it into LG, but they'll have to fix it.

Thanks hopefully they do since I can't unsee the light bleed now.
