Is anyone else having this issue with their Nexus 7 screens? These areas with green and blue lines appeared some time after I started using the device. Are they fixable? I noticed several threads about the devices screen but none with this same problem that I'm experiencing.
Attached: a close-up photo of the affected area on the screen.
I would return that sucker, pronto. Looks defective to me.

New Nexus 7 tonight, I notice white spots on the bottom (right side of screen), see picture.
Confirmed with another nexus 7 owner they didn't have those spots...
Is this normal or should I RMA it?
that is called "light bleed". I don't know the extend of damage that it will do if you keep this nexus 7..
but if I were you..I will just return and get another nexus 7 with no light bleed .....
almost all tablets have had this problem...including the ipads....

Yes... not normal light bleed. Looks like they didn't align something right.

I have had my Nexus 7 for around 3 weeks, it was perfect, I was so happy with it and I had no problems with the screen lift/bleed like many other people. I knew it was risky to buy the first batch after all of the problems reported on these forums, but now my Nexus 7 has the blue and red stuck pixels that are only visible on a black background with the brightness turned up, I can also see them when I boot the tablet. I have added pictures below, although it makes it look like the screen is bleeding, it is not, it is just the way the photo was taken. I bought it from Tesco Direct so I have a week left to return it, should I or is it risky because I could get a device with even more faults?
Thanks
From those photos it looks like there is no problem at all. Where are we supposed to be looking? Are they in the middle of the screen?
The judgement call is yours. Can you live with the fault? If you can't take it back. The chances of repeatedly getting a dud are slim.

I see a purple streak, is that what you're talking about?

Yes. It is the purple streak, sorry for being unclear, this is my first post on this forum, I guess I should have circled it in red.
You could try one of the many dead pixel apps from google play

I have 2 Nexus 4 (one for sister and one for girlfriend), which were both purchased last week and arrived this week. Both their serial number starts with 301K.
Here is the weird part: for one of the phone, it is very easy to see under the glass. When there is adequate lighting and the display is off, it is very easy to the see the circuit-like component just under the glass. This is not true for the other phone. The display also has a more of a yellow tint than the normal one. Otherwise, the display looks and works fine.
Anyone else also experiencing this, or know what's the cause of this issue?
Thanks!
This is how the pattern looks like under the screen:

It's because the touch screen sensor (I don't know the correct term) is closer. Basically it isn't an issue, it's a design. Nothing to worry about.

Digitizer is the term

But it's not nearly as visible on the other Nexus 4 that I have
I have a rev 11 nexus 4, 16GB.
I recently noticed this odd pattern on the screen. It is visible even when the LCD is turned off.
When the screen is on, I can also see these vertical lines/bands. They are especially visible on dark gray backgrounds.
I notice the pattern more when there is a reflection on the screen.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it an inherent side effect of the LCD technology used?
Thanks,
Yes, many have noticed it.

It's just the digitizer - nothing usual.

Just chiming in my agreement. It's normal for this type of panel.

Hello,
I have a Nexus 7 32GB WiFi, using 4.2.2 stock ROM, rooted and unlocked boot loader. I wiped device when 4.2.2 was released and started fresh again.
For a few weeks now I have noticed when using Chrome browser after closing or letting browser run in background when looking at my home screen I can see part of the browser like a shadow showing on the screen.
Here is a picture of it, does anyone know what this is and is it a hardware problem or something ?
Some times the shadow is much noticeable than other times.
If you look carefully you will see the shadow.
Thanks for any help.

Not a hardware problem. It goes by a couple of terms, ghosting, persistence, and if permanent screen burn-in.
It happens when you have the same screen up for a long time. If it fades, It's persistence, and does no real harm. If the 'ghost' does not fade it's burn-in, and is permanent damage.
Keeping your seen at the lowest brightness that suits your current need will minimize this, and help prevent actual burn-in.
