stuck white pixel help.

So I got my nexus yesterday & today while I was watching a YouTube video I saw a white pixel. Its stays white except when there is a dark spot like I'm the settings & I tested it on a app that show color likes red & its only visible in white. Is there a way to fix this ? Or should I ask for a replacement?
Edit when I was play dead trigger I didn't see the white pixel does it mean it a stuck pixel?

[Q] Line Across Screen Of Inverted Pixels

Got this Nexus 7 as a gift yesterday from a relative who received it from their employer. Since hes a roughneck in the oil industry he doesn't really have time to play with fancy tech toys so I got a nice toy to play with myself.
There was an odd issue since the first time I turned the tablet on. There is one line of stuck or what I'd like to call inverted pixels right above the home bar on the device between the bar itself and the remainder of the display on the screen. Its like its separated by one line of pixels. If I rotate the device the line stays in its original position. I call these pixels inverted as they are black when the screen is white and white when the screen is black for example. Tried a couple of those stuck pixel apps. No dice.
Any ideas?

[Q] hardware or software issue?

hello everyone
i received my snapdragon note 3 yesterday, was playing with it till i found something, its hard to explain but i will do my best.
what i noticed is that when i move something blue (like the small bars between each alphabet in contacts) to a black space (where pixels are shut off), the blue bar turns purple for like quarter of a second and then goes back to its original color.
it is really bothering me, i waited like a month to get the snapdragon version from outside my country and now this is happening.
could it be software issue? as i remember that note 1 has a display issue where black color appear grayish in homescreen, if so, what are the best stock roms that support RDLV root with out tripping knox ? last thing to note is that it is really hard for me to return it to where it came from.
any help appreciated.
edit: it apear that it is happening with the gray color or any other one that tend to be grayish at very low brightness

This is something you'll either have to get used to and learn to live with, or sell the device. It's a HARDWARE issue, not software, and it can never be "fixed" in any way. The short explanation:
What you are seeing is the latency inherent to the design of the AMOLED pixel matrix. It takes some time for the pixels to go from black (off) to any other color (on) and what you perceive as a blur or "small bars" before it does so is this latency, and when you are driving so many pixels on a full-HD display, the latency is even more apparent.
Samsung has attempted to mask this design limitation by essentially taking true black (off) away from the user, but it only works for Samsung apps and the parts of the OS that are tied to the Touchwiz UI.

update:
it appears that this problem is called smearing/ghosting, the reason it happen is that samsung made pixels combletly turn off when it is black in addition to cutting any power going to the screen.
why Samsung did this? well, to fix something called mura effect (black amoled screen can be seen as green or brown in very dark room), this caused a delay in turning on the pixels again which caused this effect (especially with gray color).
the solution is to use an app called screen adjuster (found for free in play store) and using the following setting:
red +14
green +14
blue +14
brightness 100
contrast 0
hope this help anyone who encounter this problem
cheers

as i said in the post above, i managed to solve it but adjusting screen colors (a Little bit that it does not affect the overall colors and in the same time keep black pixels on)
by the way, are all note 3 owners facing this issue like what happened to most s4 users or just me?

Just so you know that all you've done to "solve" the problem is shift the colors up to remove black. It's not worth the loss of a true black (off) pixel state, IMO, but to each his own. All Note 3/S4 owners have this issue. Some don't notice it until it's pointed out to them, but it's a hardware/design issue common to every single unit without exception.

Phone screen blemish

Hello all,
After my phone got repaired 2 times for the same reason i want to know if other people experience this issue too?? It is most noticeable on black/blue screens.. Turns red/yellowish.. Now i have to send my phone for a third repair... Would it also be possible to just receive my money back?
Seems like the screen of this device is really really bad..

What turns red/yellowish? I am having my phone repaired right now cause I do see a reddish blurry dot on the screen when viewing video or black backgrounds.

Screen is on multiple spots discoloured on darker colours like black or blue. On those spots the colour is yellow/red where it should be the right colour.

I got that too, today, it weirded me out. The screen went full yellow tinted, and turning the screen off and on didn't do anything. So I restarted, but everything is fine now. But what about later ? Will it appear again ?

Still facing red tint issue

DEAR ALL
still facing red tint issue even after fix update what to do?
please guide me.

There's no other solution if you've moved the red-tint slider down to minimal and you still have too much red tint. Either you exchange it or try to live with it. Cmiiw

You're one of few, like me, and have to live with it yes.
My adaptive is reasonable, bit strange with such an expensive device to call it that. But my amoled modes are as pink as they were on day 1.
I don't find any other news about any more fixes either. So samsung probably thinks everybody is enjoying their fantastic looking s8 and + versions.
Ps. You could bring it to samsung repair and let them recalibrate or repair your screen.

did you try???

yes bro tried everything but still there

The red is so annoying I agree, when I bought my S8 earlier this month the display was fine up until last week when it suddenly started turning red after sunset and the red lasts until sunrise!! I have tried all the possible adjustments with no result in all display modes and modifications. The red is so annoying to live with. At night when I change the phone time to am, it goes back to the regular display and all is well until sunset. I tried it in different timezones, it also adapts the black timing to the local sunset time! I haven't read/heard/seen anyone face this problem., am I the only one?

That thing is what you call night mode or Blue light filter you can turn it off

Mine looks pretty good on adaptive, but on other modes it's a bit reddish. I really wish Samsung released the sliders on the other modes too.

Hey thanks but I forgot to mention that:
- the red screen comes up even if the blue light filter is switched off
- the red screen shows up in all displays (Adaptive -even if the red is reduced to a minimum in the Advanced options , AMOLED cinema, AMOLED photo and basic modes)
- the red from the red screen is different from the nightmode's yellow-ish colour.
I am not sure if the warranty covers it. but I will speak to Samsung customer service and see if anyone has faced this before

after adjusting the RGBs and the display edge adjuster, the top of my display still appears slightly red..as though there is a reddish band at the top.. anyone?
