Do you have a screen protector or case on your iPhone X? Sometimes cases and screen protectors can cause unwanted interference with the iPhone’s display.

If removing the screen protector doesn't solve the issue, restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new would be the next best step to determine if the issue is hardware or software related.

After, restore the device and be sure to set it up as new for testing purposes: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings
