dark blotch on screen

I just got mine today it is a great phone but then I noticed when I'm on a white screen I see a dark blotch or blur in the center of the screen..i call it a fish eye about the size of a pencil eraser.
Has anyone else seen this ? I'm returning it as soon as my replacement comes hope this isn't a common issue with the nexus and don't want to go through 10 returns before I get a good one.

Don't know if you'll be able to see it from this screen shot.

When you look at it close it looks just like a dimple in the screen behind the glass.

You probably have warped glass from the installation of the panel to the digitizer. One of mine had a bright yellow glue ring about 60-70% down the screen in the middle. Try angling the screen in different lights and see if you notice any wavering... Like a very faint ding on a car. I think whatever machine presses the screens down does it too hard.

You need to post a real pic. Screenshots won't show a physical defect.

If it bothers you or gets worse, return them under warranty? You probably won't notice that anyway under normal usage.
Maybe the lcd settles in a couple of weeks and they disappear!

White pixel.

I posted last night that there is this really small white dot on my screen. It only visible on light colors like white . But its not visible if the color is really dark. Like on you tube where the search option is it not visible but when i go to Facebook i can see right next to my notification but its small. Anyways is there a way for it to go away? This phone is only like a day old :/ & it was bigger last night but it got smaller because i played a video that repeated blue red and green fast because i heard it make stuck pixel go back to normal.
Also is it a dead pixel or stuck?

Return the phone if you can't live with it.

I was hoping to fix it :/ i guess ill fill out the rma stuff.

Where is it? I couldn't see it.

^ same here :s
BDW, OP can u please post the picture of your white case on N4? Or u can PM me the link if u upload elsewhere.

I'd RMA it, pretty sure they'll replace it free of charge. Although it's just a pixel, stuck and/or dead pixels annoy the crap out of me because once you notice them, you can't stop looking at them every damn time!

Depends on Google/LG's interpretation - Samsung don't except anything under 5 pixels as faulty

I just saw a white pixel on the middle of the screen but I can only appreciate it at dark, when screen is black and brightness set to maximum (which I never have on dark environment). Was that an issue for you? I really have to look for it for a while in any other case. Pixels are sooo small. Don't even bother to rma. No other issue with the phone.
I'm thinking it's just a pixel stuck in a grey colour because it so difficult to see.

As for the first pic.. That is the IPS touch sensor

I believe that is what LG calls "Zero Gap Technology". Its not a defect.

[Q] LG G2 Matrix problem ?

Hi All!
I think I have a problem with a display on my LG G2 D802. I have noticed, that under angles I can see, what I think it is, a matrix of the display. See attached files.
It is pretty vissible, even on the photos. On the day light it is seen even when the display is on, not only with the display shut down.
Does anybody see the same thing?
I have never seen this on my previous phones.
Thanks in advance for replies!

Do you use a screen protector?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

It's just the IPS matrix (if you're referring to the grid on the screen visible at certain angles when the screen is off).

Close, it is actually the touchscreen digitizer.

Yes, I use the screen protector, but I saw it even before. So I don't think that there is a conection.

Ok and is it normal? Do You see it too? Because I think it is kinda annoying...

We all see it though I can't see it while the screen is on except when the brightness is superlow and it's really dark in the room.

Annoying? Yes. Normal? Yes
