It looks the same as every IPS monitor ever.
Great color, great brightness, but mediocre blacks when viewed from the side
If you mean light bleeding or bad panel uniformity, yes most (if not all) have that.

And so the infiltration of light from the top of display is normal?

Yes it's normal on IPS screens. The degree that it "infiltrates" varies between devices. my First Nexus 4 had backlight bleeding that was more obvious then the replacement device I have now. The replacement's back light bleeding is barely noticeable.
I've owned various devices with IPS screens
Asus Transformer TF101 (I've handled about 5 different devices)
Asus Transformer Prime (handled about 3 devices)
Asus Transformer Infinity(handled just the one I owned)
LG G2X (Had multiple replacments)
Nexus 4
Nexus 7(handled 3: 2 32gb HSPA+ and 1 16gb Wifi)
All had some light bleeding to a certain extent or another. Some being much worse than others.
I have a RMA for a 3rd Nexus 4 (The one I have now I love, hardly any backlight bleeding and everything is great except there is this one dark vertical line from top to bottom of the screen that you can see on white/gray backgrounds. My original Nexus 4 didn't have any of that)
If my 3rd has worse backlight bleeding than the one I currently have I might just deal with the dark line on the screen on white/gray backgrounds on my current device as that's the ONLY thing that bugs me about it.

Yes, the screen is good but not as the original S4. It uses the same TFT screen that Sony uses in their Xperia Z.

Wow...you sure about that? Didn't hear anyone complain yet...

I have no pictures to prove it but I can see my screen clearly at any angle. I can even lay my head flat on the table next to it and read all the Icons. The sunlight readability absolutely trumps any minor shortfall the screen has. Contrast is excellent as well.
I did notice that when wearing polarized sunglasses you get a slight rainbow effect on light colors, but again, at least you can see it in sunlight.

pixels viewable?

I love the new Nexus 7 screen but I'm curious if you guys can still see pixels if looking closely...specifically at the keyboard buttons....its not a big deal I'm just curious as I heard some reviewers say that you can't see any on the 1080p screen

sure can if you want to go blind from the brightness of the screen. better off trying to find pixels looking at the sun

Considering that there are 2,304,000 pixels in the screen (that's quite a few in such a small display), just look at the number and call it good! :good:
Or consider that this tablet has a higher resolution than most tv's..

Can u count them for me please? ... I want be sure you got all pixels.

Is my Nexus 4 screen faulty?

I just bought my Nexus 4 today and i noticed it has the same dots on screen as my old Live With Walkman has. It isnt nearly as bad as on my Live With Walkman, but it is noticeable when some bright light or sun is pointed at my screen.
Is it just me or is everyones screen like that? It really anoys me, should i return the phone...?
I took a picture of my LWW but cant take the one on Nexus. Its the same as on my Nexus except the dots are around 5mm apart...

Its the digitizer...no worries.

It is a 100% normal. As "PsyOr" stated, it's the digitizer. The reason why you notice it more on the Nexus 4 in oppose to tradition touch screen phones is because of LG's "zero gap" technology.

Mini Comparison G3 Screen and Size S5, Note 3

Here is a comparison between the G3, S5, and Note 3 screens. As you can see the AMOLED is heavily saturated when compared to the G3. The 2k screen stands out in comparison with the amount of detail that it displays. The blacks are close in color to me at least, but you can be the judge of that. All of the phones were on AUTO brightness for consistency. Pictures were taken with the S5 and the Note 3 respectively.
The G3 is a comfortable size, and I prefer its size over that of my wife's S5. I really enjoyed my Note 3, but this phone just feels much better, and the back buttons really make a difference.
EDIT Updated:
(I had another picture but the file got corrupted for some reason, I'll retake it and post it here)

Thanks for this but I think it would be better if you used the same background on all the phones so you can see the difference better vs different background pics

The picture of earth is technically a 4K or greater (5200x3000) wallpaper, but yes the 2K wall papers do make the most of the display.

Anyone noticing the scratch on the display? Gorilla Glas 3 is the worst Glas from Corning, hopefully Apple will end this with Saphire Glas

Looks really nice.. Kind of over saturated but not as bad as amoled panels. Was a big fan of amoled screens but now I prefer more accurate display. I think amoled screen make pictures look really good and punchy but lcd panels are better for viewing videos. Amoled screens are the worst for viewing dark scenes in movies and has terrible ghosting. Do you prefer the s5 screen or g3?

I prefer the G3, when I use my wife's S5 it's like you are downgrading honestly. The G3's screen feels more accurate to me and the size is much better for reading through text and as you stated watching videos. I had a Note 3 before this became my daily phone so if that gives you any insight.

Apparently lg is making their own sapphire glass as well. But there's a link in the accessories section where you can get a Tempered glass screen protector with full body protector for $10 or around £7. Bought 2 of them for lg g3 and galaxy s4. brilliant offer.. I paid £13 for a normal spigen plastic screen protector so can go wrong for the price and gives you that extra protection.

Was there a noticable difference in size when holding the G3 when compared to the S5? I currently have the S5 and while it already feels a little big when I hold it, I'm scared the G3 will feel even bigger, since it is a bit bigger.

The G3 looks great but I hate talk about how over saturated the S5 looks. Samsung actually gives you a choice. Display mate actually rated the S5 as the most color accurate phone when set to cinema mode.
