Deep Same problem guys! If I’m playing an HDR video with vibrant colors on youtube, the whole display gets tinted even if the video is being played in a small portion of the screen. Its like the display is having seizures in playing the video. And many times the pixels gets torn and inconsistent. Its everywhere. While watching videos, clicking nighttime photos. Any kind of blacks rips the pixels. So disappointed. This is a huge turnoff which I can’t ignore sometimes. Hey NOTHING, pls fix this guys. Its a huge problem. Don’t break our trust. I love your phones but this is blantly wrong.

I’m running an HDR black level test on my Nothing Phone 2a and noticed that the black levels 2, 3, and 4 appear washed out. These specific levels don’t show the correct color depth or distinction like they should, while the other black levels seem fine.

I’ve ensured HDR is enabled and tried adjusting display settings (brightness, contrast, etc.), but the issue persists. Has anyone else experienced this problem on the Nothing Phone 2a, or is there a fix for improving HDR black level accuracy?

Would love to hear if anyone has insights or solutions!

    Merged 1 post from HDR Black Levels Issue on Nothing Phone 2a.

    ZEN_EBL5zUgEXF no since it’s under warranty so no cost but issue still persisted and they are covering this by saying it’s a natural phenomenon of OLED display. They think the customer is fool he won’t understand such things. By any chance can we bring this problem in notice of Carl pie else consumer forum will be the last option to exercise

    Deep Hey man, I’m experiencing the same issue with my NP2A. At first, I thought I was the only one. I first noticed that the blacks aren’t true black and appear very pixelated. It gets worse in low brightness. I’ve used a Realme phone with an LED display, and that was far better than this. Additionally, I see a line running down the center of the display. It feels like the team isn’t taking this problem seriously or providing a solution for us.

      SadheeshAnbazhagan if it’s under warranty try changing your display once and keep the screenshot also record your calls if you have any conversation with nothing support staff

      MohitChaudhary_w4zgrWrJVU Today at night when I swiped down the notification panel on lock screen, the screen appeared to be grainish and blue line in the middle, also the dark colour in lock screen wallpaper was distorted.

      It’s the amoled lottery folks, I had it on my iPhone 12, I replaced 3 different screens and all of them had some sort of strange tint to it, same with my Pixel 6 and later 7, even in my Nothing Phone 2a there is a little red tint to the left.

      SiranjitBora I raised this issue at their discord server. they told me that its a hardware issue which should be fixed at the service centre for free. according to them, not all units have this defect.
      I am currently procrastinating going to the service centre (I doubt if anything will change) but I will surely tell you if the replacement makes a change.

      Can’t even trust because they are the 3rd parties but How did you raise the complaint directly going to the service centre or nothing customer care

        SiranjitBora customer care as well as I raised the issue on their discord server.
        You can also (indirectly) complain through the feedback feature. they will mail you and you can talk to them there and see what they have to offer
        by the way, have you considered their official or authorised service centres?

          Deep wow.. these lines touched deeply…

          They are just a software co. Not a mobile one..

          But to be Frank yes, all the users are experiencing the same problem the display Nothing used is a cheap quality one. Just compare the AMOLED display having same price segment in different brands they are far better than nothing. A user coming from samsung, OnePlus Nord, Motorola and Vivo never accept it.
