Hi. First timer here. I apologize if this is a repost.
I've had my phone for about week now, and I loved it...until I started reading kindle again at night with the lights off. I use black background when I read to save battery power thinking black=pixel off. I've done this on my captivate and gs2. When there are a full page of words on it, everything looks fine, and black looks black.
Then I noticed this on the gs3. When I flipped to an empty page and then I immediately noticed that black is not really black. It's a very dark gray like you would see on an LCD (but much darker). OK, that's not really a problem for me.
And then I noticed this black s-shaped line at the bottom half of my screen. Looking at the display closer, I also notice these black dots in other areas too. I took a pic with my DSLR in my closet, but unfortunately I can't post it. I also tried different apps (like paint joy and a powerpoint that has a black rectangle filling the page) that would give me a black screen, and sure thing...always there. I can't see it once I turn the lights back on, or when there are colors on the screen near it to hide it.
Does your screen look like that? I've read this may be a problem with AMOLED displays, and I found someone's pic of the Motorolar RAZR that had more artifacts.
Question is: does your display have this issue? If every AMOLED display have this, then I won't bother exchanging for another, as it may be worst.
Thanks
