I'm encountering Display Screen smearing/ghosting issue in my samsung S4. When I scroll down in menu section I encounter black background. Besides that, sometimes i also encounter a purple haze on the grey bits of the menu and elsewhere. The effect is more noticeable when the brightness is turned down. Any solution for this? I have tried another Original display but I am encountering similar problem. I have already re-soldered display connector pins and checked each pin personally via Multi-meter, as well as other surrounding components. Any help is highly appreciated.

It's a design flaw in the AMOLED of the GS4. The only way around it is to have a filter on the screen lighting up the black pixels to 1 instead of 0.

I've just learned to ignore it on my GS4. Sometimes AMOLED makes me mad (especially when my last phone was the wonderful One X LCD) but the next time I read in the dark I'm reminded why I like it and tolerate crap like the smearing.
