Glue/adhesive under screen?

So I got my transformer Monday and its great, however there is one very minor issue. If the screen is black and you tilt the pad at an angle, you can see what looks to be some kind of smudge or adhesive on the LCD panel under the glass. Like I said, this is very minor and you really need to be looking for it to even see it. I bought the transformer from best buy. With all the other issues, ie speakers and dead pixels and what not, do you guys even think its worth taking back and trying to get a replacement?

Hmm, this post is very helpful.. lol Good thing its relevent to the thread.
I have never seen the smudge you are talking about, can you take a picture of it?

Heh, but seriously, if it were me yes I'd swap it for a new one, just knowing it's there would annoy me.

I ended up swapping it. No dead/glue spot but there is light leaking from the corners on the left side and also from about half way down the left side as well. It isn't in my main viewing area so its not a big deal, and my favorite background is white so I don't really notice it, but is QC really that bad on these that this many units have issues still to this day?

Light Bleed is a common issue with tablets. Google "ipad light bleed" and you will get some interesting posts.

Also, aren't IPS displays known for a little light bleed anyways? Something that we have to live with, I guess.

I can deal with light bleed alot easier than a dead spot on my screen. Its easy enough to fix with a white based wallpaper. And luckily my favorite wallpaper is white based.

Green kinda hue on the screen

Has anyone noticed a green hue on the screen, its only just noticable.
I've got my note set on maximum brightness and i only notice it on some apps that i'm using.
Take using the XDA app. When scrolling thought the threads and forums i notice that the screen takes on a slight green hue when i stop scrolling and the when i start scrolling again the screen turns white again.
Is this a known issue or could it be just my note? Can anyone else test this and get back to me with your results and opinion please.

I do have exactly the same feeling on XDA forum pages when scrolling, and more generally a green tint... Slight but there... (And I had two Notes so far. The first one exchanged because of grey shades on the screen and the second one slightly greener than the first one). An I'm sure there isn't two screens alike...

I also noticed a big red splodge when using my camera. It was in low light n i pointed it a white wall. Check it out n get back.
Does anyone think there will be a fix for all these niggles?

I have had my note for a week. Try this: lower your brightness setting to a little less than halfway. Then open up a browser page that's all white. Now tilt the screen to the side in either direction, you will see the whites become green. Let me know your observation.

It does a little but that doesnt bother me too much. Its more the scrolling i was on about in some apps, mainly noticed it in the xda app. Doesnt matter which brightness setting i have it on, i still notice it in the xda app

Duno myn just went the more I used it

it's a software problem.
i've noticed the same thing happening to me, whites becoming green in hue while browsing. this issue is especially pronounced when browsing xda using the xda app, and so to determine if it was a hardware or a software issue, i screen capped instances of the screen being normal and being greenish.
result is the greenish hue was still present even in the screen capture. pics below are the actual screenshots and a comparison with raised saturation to better show the difference.

ok, i just tried it on mines, and yes its apparent. its like when you scroll, it becomes beige but as soon as you stop, the background becomes green. i would personally keep it because i think everyone has this. also, the next device might be worse. like on mines, at first i was annoyed about the white becoming greenish when tilting the device, but based on other folks reposes, it seems that everyone's does it, so i have decided to keep mines.

I got a big GREEN splodge when pointing to a white background. This is not a screen problem, it's a camera problem. You not notice only in the screen but also in the actual picture if you take it.
Found somewhere an explanation of this problem that is general to all kind of cameras that have the sensor to near the optics.
I think Samsumg has tried to solve the PINK problem by software, just trying to apply an opposite filter to the PINK, and that's why I getting GREEN

Ive got the exact same observation... But its not that bothersome. Im thinking its in the software as its obviously not a "capability" thing. I get great whites, etc.
Im just happy with no dead pixels and damn this device is nice!

I have noticed tyr exact same Thing. When i tilt the note (not by much) the screen gets a green color. Guess that should disapear.
Also when i scool there is a slight color change.

Screen coating pealing off

Hi guys... I just noticed that in the top left corner of my Nexus 4 where the light sensors are...it looks like a bit foggy ...and that area isn't that black like the rest of the screen is. Is this a sign of screan coating peeling off? foggy steam that zips underneath the screen? or just a defect? I always wipe my screen and it's not noticable at first glance. But if you glare it with some light u can see " a smudge like foggyness..that no matter how you wipe it it doesn't come off. Can I still return this for defects? or how much does it cost to get it repaired? pls. thank you.
I posted a picture take a look -_-

Dude I have the same thing! Except its on the bottom left corner. If I wipe it with a microfiber cloth it seems to go away but comes back soon after using it. On a side note I noticed two scratches one horizontal and one vertical near the middle right its annoying the crap out of me now. Are there any products I could use to minimize the scratch without using a screen protector?

It would help if u have a picture.
I'm not sure aoubt your issue but mine if i sitck it out in the sunlight i can see 2 shades on the area with and without the screen. Not sure if its the same as yours though.

how do i return it and get a replacement? It has 1 year warranty right? I just have to relock the boot loader and unroot it?

It will keep happening eventually, I believe they sell a kit to re coat it

Not really you only see it when you wipe the screen as the oil sticks to that part more, once cleaned you don't see it.

Relock your bootloader & unroot it before sending it back.
You have to ring them up tell them your problem they sort out the RMA from there.

Can anyone comment on backlight bleed, color (gamut), and tint?

I'm just curious how the panel looks in terms of black levels, backlight bleed, etc. as compared to the pervious model and/or other tablets. I had terrible bleed on my old N7s.

I'm not as anal as most people on this forum, but I did exchange a first gen due to light bleed, and I'm satisfied with the amount of light bleed on this second gen. Not the best I've seen, but certainly tolerable.

bleed on the top of mine... both I had have this.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

The screen is much better than the last one, the light bleed is minimal, no real bright sports to speak of. At extreme angles it looks to me that it almost has a red tint, but that might just be me.

mine is more of a yellow, warm tint compared to my last Gen n7

[Q] Display brightness issue

I'm currently on my second N3 (the first one had vertical lines in photos) and looks like this one has a bad display. When using Tapatalk with the dark theme, the bottom left corner/edge of the display is brighter than the rest. When testing with Screen Adjuster, the difference is very noticeable. The issue can be seen even with just Thumb Keyboard with WP7 theme.
Has anyone else noticed this kind of problem?

Return it and buy from another store. Seems like these guys are selling you lemons.

The two phones are from different stores, I'm still waiting for a replacement for the first one.

Mine upper side screen seems brighter than below screen.. but this condition only happen when i use xda app set to dark theme..i thought the xda app the one that problem..not the phone...

Check it with the stock messaging app, it should have a uniform brightness. Mine is glowing on the left edge and especially on the bottom left corner.

You may notice that the black screen when you open the settings. Not symmetric Colors.
There is a difference in the backlight. Increase in the left of the screen.

AMOLED has no backlight! the issue is due to the production process (basically: the more of the center of the wafer your particular screen has been cut out, the more uniform it will be)!

If you want to get rid of display brightness issues, just switch to Dynamic, as the 'blacks' in Settings would be even blacker, to the point where it doesn't really light up as it uses the OLED technique of showing true black.
