Bro,
Look at the video I posted. There are problem with the screen which cause the light saber. Also you can look at the second video.
I don't believe that updating cause Light saber but don't deny it might have contribute to its demise if one's phone is taking too long to get the update completed due to the white screen it used to display.
I think it could be caused by the power tweaking Samsung is doing with their screen to eliminate darker spot on their oled. It could have contributed to hot spot on the display or the continuous higher power delivery to the affected pixels (which could be a yield issue) causing them to burn out first.
Nah most updates I've been through, the phone only displayed minimal text. Samsung font etc. Otherwise mostly black. Some videos show how to repair the oled, and seems to be contact issue. Plus dead pixel is just one pixel. The whole row is connected in a line circuit.
The oled is connected at the end through a laminated strip.
The heat probably caused delamination of some of the contacts, shorted etc that's the theory. They have to bond the oled piece. Same like the Samsung folds when people initially tore them off. There's occasion of the entire line going pink or green as the person tore it off
Anyway can't understand the video if it's the Chinese one.
But the whole screen green hue issue might reflect your power issue like you said. Which could be resolved or induced by firmware update.
Edit:
And another key point to support the delamination theory, it also happens to people using alcohol wipes and also tempered glass with glue
The solvent also increases risk of delamination. In fact whole screen can die, or less worse, light saber
If other companies that use Samsung oled don't have issue, it must boil down to the oled lamination production system that Samsung uses
Edit 2:
And why it happens during update but not when during use?
My theory is, when the phone up and running in the os environment, there is temperature throttling mechanism that may not be present while updating
