this one has a blue tint even without touching. I admit that's little. But i'm trying to understand if it's something that can go away with time, or not. in case we can send back this and get another new one...
edit: the phone has never fallen. He opened the box, turned on the phone and noticed the blur some minutes after
i cant send it back i already broke the glass im not so lucky as you but atleast i can have clear whites from viewing straight.. you should defy send back

why you can't send it back?
Anyone can tell me if i can rma the phone sending it from italy? I know that the replacement would be send to the UK address of my friend. But can i ship the broken one from here?
i think that maybe it's a "burn in display"...anyone can help me?
LCD doesn't have burn in issues like AMOLED or Plasma screens. It's either a minor defect (i can't see it in your pics) or it's a group of stuck pixels. Download an app called, "display tester" and run some of the screen tools. This will help you identify what the issue is and may resolve it with the tools in the app. it' important to keep in mind that these types of screens will play tricks on you. for some reason they have odd hues at certain angles.

i've already tried with an app called dead pixel detect and it didn't work. I can assure that there is a little blue blur on the middle right side of the screen ( i know it's difficult to see on a photo). I will try with "display tester" and let you know!
thanks
Update: ive tried with display tester...but i cant see dead pixel. I link you another photo of the display with grey background.
The blur is on middle right side of the phone

I'm confident you have stuck pixles or a damaged LCD. you can try to fix the stuck pixel by running an app for it, but typically it takes 24 hours or more to resolve the issue. You would have to play the image non-stop until it resolves its self (it might never resolve). with that said, you should try to get an RMA if possible. Google seems pretty lax on the RMAs.

So my excitement kinda came to an early end last night. I got my second replacement mt4g due to a bad screen. This one is perfect...except that when I was reading some text on a page with a white background, I noticed that from bottom to top, the white gradually goes from white to this yellowish tint. I will post a picture of it later on tonight.
My question is, do you have/had this problem and did you end up returning it or did it go away kind of like when this was happening to the iphone 4? I really hope this really doesn't become a full-blown issue like with the washed colors, because then I would have to request a 3rd replacement and make sure that it doesn't have dead pixels, dust under the screen, washed out colors, yellow tint, crooked ffc, creaky buttons, and gaps around the bezel. Thanks.
Here is an example of what i'm talking about except my display is white at the bottom and gradually goes to the color of the phone that is on the right, at the top.

Do you think that the problem is improper screen calibration and all I have to do is wait for a software update?
225 views and one reply?? Really guys?? Not trying to sound like I'm whining, but this is a serious problem and I think i'm not the only one. I just received my replacement, and it too has this yellowish tint towards the top of the screen. This will be my 4th time that I will be requesting a replacement, so in total so far, 4 defective phones.
ur phone has a bad screen. when black looks more light greyish and when white doesn't quite look white, bad screen.
return it, these are things u wanna check within the first few days!

I'm sorry, but it's really difficult to tell based on the picture you linked. Is there any way you can take a comparison photo with a good screen?
I can't see anything wrong from that photo. It will take something more than this to let others know if you have a problem.

The blacks never looked grayish, the colors were bright, crisp and vibrant, it was when looking at something with a white background. This issue has nothing to do with the washed screens that people are getting.

I figured it out based on a chat I had with a friend. I think that the backlight was improperly calibrated or something. Sorry that I can't take a better picture as I have already received my exchange which is much much better, the light is just more distributed evenly then the previous phone. Plus it doesn't creak, the ffc is dead centered, and light doesn't leak through between the bezel and the screen at the top of the phone. After 4 exchanges(5 phones total), I finally got a "perfect" device.
Here is a side-by-side shot sort of(I returned the defective device before I could think of take a pic of them together due to my excitement!)
You can easily tell that the screen of the phone on the right has way more light at the bottom of it and the top doesn't which results in a more obvious yellowish tint. The phone on the left (good one) doesn't have it as bad, the light is distributed evenly. Both were on auto brightness. The good display's(right) brightness is down a bit more but it doesn't matter since I tried to increase and decrease the brightness on the defective one(left) and it made no difference.

Mate, you should look at the screen on the Transformer in a darkened room.
Believe me, that's lightbleed, but not as we know it.
Search youtube for asus eee pad transformer lightbleed issue and see what I mean
I returned my first A500 because it had really bad light bleed. I guess that's what you would call it, but its like the opposite of the other tablets blight bleed complaint, noticeable on white backgrounds but went away with dark ones.

Either way, if it's a fault which spoils your enjoyment of the product then it's not acceptable in a product at this price point.
I returned 3 transformers with the same issue before I got pi$$ed off enough to ask for a refund.
Take it back if you are not happy and email support, they will only know about a potential issue if people are scrupulous about quality control.
I have the same problem so I took the a500 back to best buy for an exchange. The geek quad guy looked at the tablet and told me it is normal and refused the exchange. According to him, there is a light bulb that runs across the screen and the bright spot is the result of close contact between the bulb and the screen. He said that I could either return it or keep it but no exchange. His reason, once the tablet is opened, it can't be sold to other customers and he does not want me to end up return the exchanged tablet which will hurt the company's profit. I was like, sure, the iconia is the only product in the store and by the way, you should be an employee of the month for looking after best buy like that.
I really have noticed this issue on every device i ever held in my hands !!
This must be some general problem.. !!
How about everyone else??
i m really surprised that only a few people reported back on this issue !!
My screen does not have this problem. Maybe your screens are too tight? In fact my Asus netbook does have this problem, (kind of), because it's backlit by LEDs.
Does anyone know what the backlighting is on these Iconias? Did anyone take one apart?
I also noticed this a bit when I was doing some pdf reading with the tablet vertically oriented. Pretty much the exact same spot, but it sounds like it was manufactured that way by the responses of some of the other people on here.
Same problem here at the same spot. Pretty annoying when reading e-books for example. Is there something we can do ?
Hi, i have one question for n4 owners.
When you look at your phone like this :
Is the screen look a little bit yellow ?
I hope is not a problem, juste ips technology :fingers-crossed:
410 err on the photo but it's probably uncured glue
if so, it'll fix itself unless you constantly overheat your phone (benchmarks and games)
>90% of the time it'll fix itself in a week or two,
it happens with the first batch or two of every phone launch because they didn't have enough time from screen production to sale for all of the units to fully cure.
When I look at it in line of the bottom left corner the screen looks a bit yellow. Every other corner is fine. Its not a problem it will work itself out in a few days.
I don't know if it's a glue problem.
It's look like screen problem :/ but i want to know if others users have same thing.

Yes bottom left and upper right you too ?
I am having the same issue, but i do not need to look from that angle. I see the yellow tone in the options menu just looking directly in front of the phone during normal use. Mainly in the left bottom corner but most of the bottom part I would say.
I'm assuming this is the nature of the screen technology. Mine does this looking at it from the bottom left or top right corner.
Y es i have this problem, and the colors where off, i think the gamma value is high. I hope an update because all have the yellowish screen, i dont think is glue for all at the bottom on the screen.
Mine is like that too

Mine is like that too same angle, every other angle is perfect. i think its on all of them.

So you think is gone because of heat ?
I order mine, but im waiting for shipping, when I get it, i will turn on and then I'll check the angle and I let you know if this is natural.

I have the yellow tint too if I hold the phone diagonal en look at the surface.
Bleu tint web you look opposite no?
Someone know where contact Google ?
Mine is yellow tinted regardless of angle. I'm hoping this is incurred glue, obviously.
I compared against my Atrix last night & it's very obvious.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
If I was to buy the phone in a couple of days would the yellow tint issue be solved as the phone would have been unused stock for a good week allowing enough time for glue to settle?
I'm having problems with my screen as well. Black levels are off and everything has a yellowish grey tint. I have an Optimus G next to it on the left so you can compare, as both of these phones use the same panel. Both phones are on max brightness.

I had similar lines on boot up once happened once though.
Screen banding. Possibly could be fixed in certain ROMs, but definitely an issue you should get it replaced for.
Had this first time today ....if it won't happen again not an issue ... My galaxy nexus when battery was dying screen was going off like an EMP just hit it ... Not worried yet ...

Well yeah, if you're going to be a **** about it no one is going to go to your thread.
And I wouldn't exactly link dead pixels and this banding together.
I have this same issue on my N4....not as bad as yours but under certain conditions vertical banding is observable (generally when at 100% brightness). Having it replaced this week.
I don't think that is banding. Banding is whole a other thing. Very common on Panasonic plasmas and some LCD TV's. Those seem to be GPU going whack lines. Or possibly some bad interference and it showing up as that. But if I had to put money on it I would guess broker or going bad adreno 320's.

Just noticed something like this on my screen. It's very (very) faint and only shows up against gray backgrounds but the pattern is pretty similar. If it gets worse I'm going to contact Google.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
I'll be contacting google soon, only have my phone on me and I'm on Tmobile's web exclusive plan so only have 100 minutes to talk and I'm not spending them on a 30 min hold. I'll update everyone on the situation.
I had something similar. I turned on the phone and it was just a black screen, and those lines started showing up. Turned the phone off/on and it hasn't done it since. But now I got red pixels that show up by the notification and navigation bars. They disappear once I touch the screen. It doesn't happen allot so I'm not sure if I want to return it
Replacement is being shipped, should take 3-5 days from what I was told.
I had this same issue last week. Except my left top corner was really bright. It persisted after reboot. Hasn't happened since.
same problem here but with blurred display
I too had the same problem with my nexus 4 but i dropped it from a foot height.The display suddenly got blurred and these vertical lines started to appear.can anyone tell me Whether LG accepts this under warranty or I have to pay for it?
So I was unlucky enough to drop my N4 before I was able to get a case for it. I dropped it from my lap while getting out of a taxi so it wasn't a full on drop. At first I thought the only damage was cosmetic - a nick on the chrome trim on the top right corner of the phone.
However afterwards I noticed a small white/bright spot on the screen near that corner where it looks like the backlight is bleeding through. It's most notice-able when the screen is showing something white, less notice-able with colors (red, green, blue etc), and completely fine when showing black.
I've checked some info and it doesn't seem like it's a dead pixel, and just seems overall larger than a dead pixel. At the same time it doesn't seem like a lit pixel either since it's not visible on black. At the moment I'm very thankful that the phone is still very much use-able, but would like to find out what the problem is, and perhaps how intensive a repair this would involve since it is a bit annoying sometimes.
Anyone have had a similar problem or have any ideas?
Is normal. Stop obsessing about it. No phone is perfect. Even my wife's iPhone 4s has defects. If you are looking for flaws, you will find them, guaranteed. Just use your phone like you used to.

Yeah I'm definitely learning to live with it. It may also not look so bad in a photo but it's still pretty noticeable when you're holding the phone in your hand - especially when I'm scrolling around and you can see this static white spot that doesn't move.
Just overall interested in what the problem is as well. I've seen dead pixels and also phones that were dropped where the screen looks completely fubar'd... but haven't been able to find any examples where the screen is like this.
RMA if it's that annoying. Assuming ur phone doesn't look too damaged that they'll say it was your fault.
I do see a few scratches on the screen. Google may not RMA for that reason. If there is another reason like a defect, use that to RMA. IML no Nexus 4 is perfect. I have RMA'd about 4 times till now with a new reason every time. Now after completely blocking my credit card, I have learned to live with an imperfect Nexus 4

Where do you see the scratches? I haven't even noticed them!
I guess from the replies I should learn to live with it then. Thing is I really thought this was due to the drop, but it's also possible it was a defect that I didn't notice... I saw some N4s with the light bleed problem, but were from the edges of the screen, that's why I really thought this was due to damage.
Send it back in, duh. It's still under warranty. :crying:
