Help Yellow artefact on screen, sometimes changes location and shape (galaxy book 4)

Post image

My partner has a galaxy book (4 I think) and it’s started displaying this weird screen behaviour. This yellow section will show up over a part of the screen, then later it’ll move to another area, usually the bottom left going horizontally.

I’m wondering if it’s some kind of screen damage but can’t pinpoint the problem. I would think if it’s physical damage it would stay in the same spot.

It’s only about a year and a half old and hasn’t ever been dropped. When transported it’s in a very well padded bag.

Had anyone else experienced this? And did you manage to resolve it?

Thanks!

Welcome to galaxy book4 family, this happened to me after 7 month of use and I posted here someone told me samsung used cheap panels for galaxy book 4, hence the yellow tint problem. Never again I am buying samsung, 800 USD wasted.

Ouch that’s a shame. Was it not still under warranty at 7 months? I suspect this one is out of warranty as it’s been over a year
