So i sold my Mi Mix 2 when this issue occur my question is do many of u have blurry text when scrolling?
Afaik that's because it's an IPS display which has the benefit of amazing color accuracy at the drawback of pixel response time.
It really bothered me when I first got the phone coming from an AMOLED phone, but after a few weeks I stopped noticing it. I have a really fast high-end TN panel for gaming on my PC, and looking at the colors between that and my phone are a really astounding difference.
I use my phone as a monitor for all photos and graphics I make for now (I'm not a professional so I don't need a specific high end monitor for this)
Yes the scrolling is blurring... With a little red ghosting too I notice (only I the dark I see that)
I understand it is an issue of the used lcd, but previously on my Xiaomi redmi note 4 I didn't had that issue so bad that I would notice also on my LG g6 it was not visible like on the Mi mix 2 even on a huawei p9 it was barely visible.
I noticed as well, but when I switched to the Oreo EU rom it was barely noticeable.
Has anyone checked out the Mi Mix 2s to see if this ghosting is fixed? This is really my favorite phone as it is bootloader unlocked and it has a fully functional AOSP build on it,but the ghosting and text blur still bothers me after weeks of use.
I have read according to benchmarks that the refresh rate is improved by around 10ms on the 2s, but I would like to confirm the issue is fixed before spending the money on one. Like I said, this phone is perfect to me aside from the ghosting.

Thanks for letting me know man. I hate to spend the money on getting a 2s if the issue is still present. I love everything else about the 2, so I may as well keep it if the issue remains. Thank you!
Is there a way to change this "ghosting" effect ? Even if it means more lags during scrolling ?
I come from an LG G3 whose screen was really better (good colors, no text ghosting..)
I finally replaced my screen, but after two weeks the screen some kind of "glare" round the edges of it, I always loved dark themes, this is very noticeable, it happened in my past redmi 3 a day out of the box, so I definitely think is a Xiaomi issue, I'll post pictures of what I'm talking about

Hi! This is kind of light leak (or something like that)
Have you ever contacted who changed your screen?
Maybe with another screen you can solve the issue.
What is your screen vendor? "tianma" or "shenchao"? (check it out dialing *#*#6484#*#* in software version, tp version)
Well, last time I checked it was tianma (with MIUI and stock panel) the dealer told me that the screen was original part. But I think I will not complain, I noticed yesterday that if I use the screen for a long time, it goes slowly disappearing until screen looks perfectly fine, pretty weird tho
Mine is the same too , tianma panel . So dissapointed with xiaomi build quality
I think first thing to do after getting RN5 is to switch colour temperature to cold in setting and use it like that for as long as possible. I did that for first few weeks then switched back to standard mode and so far no ghosting or image retention problem (I'm using my whyred since 18th of May). Tianma panel as well

Hi everyone. I had a really strange issue hit me today. All was going great these few months but suddenly today my screen seems washed out. Blacks don't seem to be black but light greyish. And playing YouTube videos such as the one attached look terrible like it is a heavily compressed JPEG with terrible color clipping. It used to play perfectly before this. You can see the color clipping around where the dark area meets some light in the 2nd image (sample.jpg).
Strangely enough, taking a screenshot, it is really how the video should look (Screenshot_20190721-230137-01.jpeg).
Just wondering if anyone had this issue before? Not sure if it was a recent software update. I'm still on December update on my end so perhaps it's one of the apps.
A reboot also did not seem to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance everyone

December? Update your phone first, preferably with a full image if you are unlocked. If that doesn't work, backup your data and do a FDR to rule out a hardware issue. If you end up calling Google for support this will be step number one, so you may as well get it over with. If you are not unlocked already, now would be a good time to do it. Unlocking will wipe the phone for you.
Update your phone buddy.
Just updated to the July update and it's still the same. The video looks terrible on my phone when compared to a Poco F1. Any chance I could trouble you guys to see if you are noticing the same banding/washed out colors on your phones as well?
Played some other videos and the same problem also occurs, especially when there's contrasty scenes. It's as though, my screen bit depth went down a little and it looks a bit like a heavily compressed JPEG when contrasty or backlit scenes appear
I looked at the same video in your OP and it looked fine. I am on Q beta 5.

Thanks fury683! I'm guessing it's probably a hardware issue of sorts. Even some of the default wallpapers are showing banding at times
Same issues are showing up on wallpapers and images as well. Those areas where there are transitions seem to be smudging and all like a low color depth display. Moved on to Q Beta 5 and the problem still remains. The issue seems to be how the screen handles dark/dim transitions.
Just wondering if anyone has any idea how to reset the screen parameters/calibration etc?

Any luck? I started facing this problem on Pixel 3a since a few days
Facing the exact same issue on my Pixel 3 XL. Were you able to find a solution?
Check your color choices under display settings. Try Boosted if it's not already selected. Maybe you had it on Boosted, and somehow it went back to Natural?
Same problem here...
I've noticed that same issue on my 3xl. Looks really bad, both wallpaper and YouTube blocky and compressed.
I have faced the same issue on my pixel 3xl recently. Have contacted the google support. They don't seem to acknowledge that it's an issue that's been occurring frequently. Instead they tell me it's just for my phone. Can anyone bring it to notice of the concerned authorities. I wish this is an issue which has been since pixel 2xl. And they refuse to cover it since the phone is out of warranty
What did you provide them as evidence? Ive sent a few YouTube screenshots and my wallpaper on home screen as it has bad banding at the top. All darks are horribly blocky no matter what quality I have YouTube at
I have sent them pictures of night sky i have taken and other such pictures in instagram where the contrast is very much evident. I have given my phone to the repair service and they said its a case of display mura. But i cant imagine such issues in a phone within an year and half of purchase.
4 days ago, after 2 years using pixel 3 xl I have the same issue. My screen is washed out. I don't have black any more. It is unacceptable buy a phone that costed more then U$ 700 and after 2 years I have to replace it because of screen issue. My battery is perfect, my phone never dropped and everything is working except the screen. I will give up to buy Google's phones. The only one I never had problem was nexus 5, all rhe others nexus 6p, pixel xl and now pixel 3 xl I had basic problems that if I have bought a Samsung or other famous brand will never have it. It is really a shame!
I am having this issue too ! Crazy Google Pixel. No point of buying after discontinuing google photo unlimited storage. Another disappointing issue after buzzing sound for front camera.
Left: Pixel 3 XL, blocky night sky.
RIght: Pixel 2 XL, everything looks normal.
Hi. This is also happening to me.
I'm on a P3 XL.
I believe that detailing what you were doing when you noticed the change may help discover how this is happening.
For starters, this happened to me some time ago and it suddenly fixed itself. Granted, I had the washed screen for months probably and I can't recall how it solved itself, or maybe I solved it by doing something accidentally.
Anyway, this happened again today and now I'm back with the washed screen.
I was watching a YouTube video in full screen with the volume very high, phone was hooked to charger. After a while I quit the application and realized that my screen's colours were messed up again.
It's as if there's a white matte all over the screen affecting the overall accuracy of the colors. the screen's colours get worse the less brightness there is. And when playing videos, especially on YouTube, the darkest areas appear blocky as if the video used a very low compression rate. This blockiness effect is dissipated if I manually increase the screen brigthness, but this is not a practical solution because the colors are still wrong.
My device is rooted with Magisk.
Latest Android security update June 2021.
I use YouTube Vance in root mode, instead of vanilla YouTube.
I am facing the same issue on my pixel 3 XL. Does anyone know hoe to fix this. I have two Pixel 3 XL. The one showing this color distortion has a bit brighter or I can say more white screw than the other. One is working fine till now. I updated to S beta 5 and this happened both are running same version of software and same settings.
Hi thr, new to pixel lineup. Got mine in a very cheap rate in marketplace like 200 usd. But now i can see the same issue. Also my top speaker is distorted in music playback like its broken or something. And most annoyingly a portion of the left side screen has low sensitivity where it misses the touches and scrolls. Which is very disturbing for typing experience. Please dont tell me to reset, coz i did it during the purchase. I am in the middle of a project and i dont have money for a new device, please help.
I have now had my phone for a little less than 3 days, and I've been happy with the speed it' blazingly much faster than my OnePlus 7T pro. It seems that I forgot my most important task when I buy a new phone: Test the screen quality on grey backgrounds.
One the 2nd day I noticed a faint white bar going through the middle of the screen while using spotify, so this morning I tested my trusty grey backgrounds, and one of them in particular had a nice/shocking result. One the left we see my OP7T with perfect color rendition, on the right the S20 FE that shows a brownish mess with lines going all over the place. I'm sorry for the bad quality cause this was taken on an aging Nokia 7 Plus and I couldn't make the picture sharp no matter what, but it gets the point across.
I did my research. I watched all tech youtubers of note reviews/comment on this phone and I thought since this phone is largely based off of the Galaxy A51 I thought they had the production figured out. But nope.
3 years ago this wouldn't have been as much of a problem, but since I use dark mode all over the place now, I just see these lines all the time, and once you see, you cannot unsee.
Multitouch issue. I have tested another one but same problem. Finally flagship with Snapdragon for EU. But sorry the phone is not complete.
omg it's not a problem you can disenable that line .
I use dark mode and low brightness settings indoors, I've not encountered this banding. I know that if you video the screen on low brightness you can see the screen pulsing but that's not a use case I'm going to deal with.
I've been using this device for a month now and been really happy with how fluid everything is in comparison to my poco x3 nfc which couldnt really handle miui well.
The only complain that I have is with the battery life, which seems to drain rather quickly even when Im not using the device, and with the screen.
Dont get me wrong the screen looks good and doesnt show the common OLED issues (banding, black crush, etc.) especially that I used to have an awful OLED device before. (ROG phone 2 had almost all the issues an oled can have in their worst condition.).
The main problem that I noticed is that there seems to be a slight white shadow under black text visible in white mode. It's pretty easy to notice it when I'm in the settings app and looking at the bigger or bold titles in white mode. Under every letter there is a slight white shadow. (the tone is different than the white background so it's visible.) The bigger and bolder the word, the easier to notice.
I know it's most probably a hardware color calibration issue and probably will never be fixed but just wanted to see if any other person has noticed this. Mine is a global poco f3.
btw, the funny fact is that the shadow is only under the text and not above or around it, you'd initially think the shadow appears because the screen cant correctly change from black text to the white background around it but if this was the fact, why does it only happen under the text and not all around it?
Did you found a solution for your Problem? I purchased the Poco F3 last week and I have this white shadows under black text too. I think its just a OLED thing. It isn't that noticable on my old Galaxy Note 8 though.
