If you own a Samsung phone and have suddenly noticed green or pink vertical lines appearing on your screen—without dropping your device or installing a software update—you’re not alone. Many Samsung users have reported this frustrating issue, with lines gradually increasing over time, making the display nearly unusable.
The good news? There’s a simple solution to stop more lines from appearing!
The Cause of the Green and Pink Lines
While Samsung hasn’t officially acknowledged the exact cause of this problem, many experts believe it’s related to an internal issue with the display panel. These lines often appear unexpectedly, even on phones that have never been physically damaged.
Affected models include:
- ✅ Samsung Galaxy Phones starting from Note 20 Ultra
- ✅ Other Samsung flagship models with AMOLED displays
Users have tried various fixes, including factory resets and software updates, but these don’t seem to prevent the lines from increasing.
The Solution: Change Your Display Resolution to WQHD
After extensive testing, I’ve found a reliable way to stop more lines from appearing on your Samsung phone. The trick is to set your display resolution to WQHD (the highest resolution available).
Here’s how you can do it:
- Go to Settings on your Samsung phone.
- Tap on Display.
- Select Screen resolution.
- Change it to WQHD+ (3200 x 1440) or the highest resolution available.
- Restart your phone (optional, but recommended).
Why Does This Work?
It’s unclear why adjusting the display resolution prevents additional lines from appearing, but users have reported that after making this change, new lines no longer develop on their screens. This suggests the issue might be linked to how the display refreshes pixels at lower resolutions.
What If You Already Have Multiple Lines?
If your phone already has multiple green or pink lines, this solution won’t remove them. However, setting your resolution to WQHD can help stop more from appearing, preventing the problem from worsening.
Is There a Permanent Fix?
Unfortunately, if your screen is already affected, the only permanent solution is to replace the display—which can be expensive if your warranty has expired. However, setting the resolution to WQHD can at least prevent further damage and extend your phone’s usability.
Final Thoughts
If your Samsung phone is displaying these annoying green and pink lines, don’t panic! Try switching to WQHD resolution immediately to stop more lines from appearing. This simple tweak has worked for many users and could save you from a costly screen replacement.
