I don't know how to explain this. The corner of the screen is somehow 'broken'. I am not familiar with the construction of such an LCD display. I thought it was the screen protector....but it isn't, I can see by pressing with the finger that it is BELOW the surface, and it is not a bubble of the screen protector. Also the nexus 7 surface is one single surface, and there would be no reason why the screen protector would lift exactly in that point. It has something to do with the real display, below the glass surface. See photos.
The colours are displayed correctly. Also the problem is not visible on high brightness or lighter colours. But i simply hate it not having everything in the right shape, as much as i hate dead pixels (I luckily haven't for the moment).
Would this be a good reason to have it replaced by warranty?
The device comes from 'Mediaworld' which is a chain in europe (or mediamarkt, in germany). Would I have to remove ROOT before I go and ask?

Perhaps I am a bit OCD about my phones, but I have dropped my hd2 (unprotected) at least 3 times. One time from about 2 feet onto a rug, and the other two times about 1 foot to the wood table. Now, I have noticed some very fine scratches, maybe cracks in the screen. If it were a crack, should the screen give way to pressure, even if it is very small? I am only asking this because I feel though my next drop will be on pavement.
If you look at your screen in strong sun light at an angle with the screen turned off you will be able to see faint diagonal lines criss crossing the screen as well as a pattern of dots. These are all part of the touch screen and normal. If you have any irregular lines which aren't surface scratches then yes, these could be stress fractures in one of the screen layers.
Slight pressure shouldn't make them crack but they won't get any better, especially if you keep dropping it. Get a case, or some really strong glue to stick the phone to your hand!
Looks like the digitizer has been damaged from your accidental drops.
Keep an eye on it and if functionality stops working then the whole unit - LCD and digitizer must be replaced.
Good luck
Is there a way to distinguish small scratches from cracks? I can see some light lines from the right of the the phone's screen when in sunlight, starting from the very edge. You would think that most scratches would occur on the screen, where you actually use the phone. And yeah, I just bought an otterbox defender.
my nexus 7's screen coating wore off on the right hand thumb spot (which is always used obviously)
it got to a point that i no longer want to use it, whenever i slide in that spot it feels rough like sliding my hands on a window instead of being smooth in other places.
is this a common problem or am i an exception?
i bought a screen protector, but it's matte so now reading text on a white background is really a pain, any ideas on what i could do to fix this?
it sounds like you need to replace that screen protector, just buy and apply a new one (glossy), as matte looks bad on low density displays. a pic might help too on the forums
good luck
Hello.Does anybody have problem with "unglued digitizer"(touch screen sticking a little)from black frame, bottom and the both sides below camera.
Well, now that you say it : my screen seems to stick out a little bit more where the camera is. But only noticeable when going over it with the thumb. I also have a anti-glare screen installed, so that effect gets increased.
But oh well. I knew that the built-quality isn't the best before I bought it, so I don't complain.
Fake edit
when looking from the side I can see the display protection sticking out where the camera is. But not on the other end of the tablet.
Just notice it today after change of screen protector. Previous screen protector no such issue.
Look at the left gap.
Thanks.

I uploaded new pics taken from ipad.
When i open a black color app. I dont see the green or red light at the gap. Screen protector doesnt cover that gap line too. But it did cover the right part. Where there no light bleeding.
:crying:
There seems to be a problem with your screen. I don't think it has anything to do with the gap. Looks like you have an entire column of dead pixels. The gap (if you have it) is about 4mm away from the edge of the screen, so if you did have light bleeding due to the gap it would be away from the edge of the visible screen.
I run the test. No dead pixel. Could it be effect from glass protector?
You can't have backlight bleed on an AMOLED display. There is no backlight.
So my friend gave me his old sgs5 for free because it is missing the battery and back plate, both of which i ordered off amazon and are arriving later today, i have a question about the amoled panel
the glass of the digitizer is flawless, no cracks to be seen whatsoever and is very smooth and scratch free to the touch; however, inside on what i can assume only to be the amoled panel itself, (unless there is another thin layer of glass between the GG3 and amoled display , which i am not sure of) on the very top right corner and about 1.5-2mm in, there is a small hairline fracture that cuts the corner, also, there is a very small fracture of the same type on the top of the panel about two-thirds of the way to the left that extends roughly 1.5-2ish-mm down the screen, but ends without cutting back to the edge of the screen.
my question is this; When i recieve the battery and back plate today in the mail, will i put it together only to find that i get no video on the amoled at all? or simply black screen except for that tiny cut-off corner on the top right, as from what i can tell that is where the main video ribbon connects?
the phone has been -somewhat- manhandled, as there are a couple fractures in the glass over the camera and some indentations on the plastic chrome ribbon that encompasses the device on the corners from what i can only assume are drops. Otherwise the device looks to be in perfect working order, and i cannot imagine that it has sustained enough impact trauma to actually hurt anyone on the mainboard if the gg3 screen itself is flawless with no blemishes.
thanks for your time, any insight is much appreciated.

There is a big chance of that happening...
I have an S3 mini screen here that is in almost perfect condition, except for a tiny fracture in the AMOLED panel very similar to yours, and the whole display doesn't turn on.
