I have tested this extensively on my iPhone 12 non-pro USA variant, and I do not have this issue at all.

I have the issue on my 12 Pro and I don’t care. I’m not watching movies or looking at pictures with deep blacks with very low brightness settings.
 
iOS 14.4 and for the glowing they didn’t fix sh** with this beta, it’s as bad as before, noticed it directly when I started the update and by the time the second reboot happened it was glowing with the Apple update logo. This is so super bad and annoying.

This issue is really obvious to me on my 12 Pro Max. Disappointing this has happened since my 11 Pro Max had no such problem.
 
Just got my pro (ordered 5 to check for best screen). Some had yellow screens, but all of them are pitch black like they’re supposed to be. Just like my x. Maybe it’s hardware related after all.

Production week?
you can check the manufacturing info here
After reading every single post in this thread I came to the conclusion that the production week and the S/Ns do not give us a good indication of good and bad panels. It is just a lottery game and in the same time is widespread, so there is a high chance to receive again a bad panel. I don't have the technical background to say for sure that this is a sw or a hw issue BUT I trust my eyes (at the moment) and my experience from my past phones. This is not a way that an OLED panel should behave. Black is black ....period.
Even with 14.4 beta issue is still here, so I will skip the 12s (already sent back my 12 PM) and ordered an 11 pro max.

Good night and good luck 12s.
