Hmm the only way you should get a screen burn in is if your screen was on the entire time the case was closed. Sometimes I wipe my screen because the plastic opening makes a little mark and that takes care of it.

Technically amoled shouldn't burn in very easy at all. Take that phone back now. If the cover caused this then wow.

I work at best buy Mobile and I've noticed this on the 4 s4's that we have on display. Each one has some sort of burn on it. 2 have the smart view case and 2 don't have anything. Keep in mind these are demo phones so they run a demo video all the time. They never turn off. Still pretty disappointed since we got plenty of other phones that never turn off either and have been there for months.

Burn in has been an issue since the S2...
S2, skyrocket, note, note 2, s3 and now s4 have all shown the potential for burn in
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
All LCD based screens have the potential for burn in. But the way amoled handles pixels makes it less likely to get burn in. Not saying it can't happen. Just less likely is all.
I know on plasma TVs there is usually a white or black mode that helps reverse burn in...
Couldn't you run the LCD test via dialer codes and let it sit on white or something for awhile and that should help

My brand new pad has a pixel that won't show green...running one of the apps that says it fixes that... If it doesn't work, i'm going to see if I can get a replacement.
Just a warning to everyone. Be on the lookout.

I've got a dead pixel as well. Near the top left. Doesn't really bother me that much, so I don't really care. Surely one teeny little pixel doesn't warrant you returning it ...?

I used to think that. But if its been like, 3 Weeks and there's already one dead pixel... What does that say for the possibilities?
Just called Asus - he tried to get me to do a wipe.
Are you kidding me? wipe all my data? Asus - get rid of the spiel, its junk. Get ppl who know whats up on the phones ugh

My first pad had a dead pixel. I found it the second day and returned it as soon as I could. It was kind of in the middle of the screen, and I could see it every time I viewed a white web page. Needless to say, it bothered the heck out of me and had to be returned.
i went through 4 tabs until i got one that was fine display wise. first one had a cluster of discolored pixels, like someone pressed their thumb hard on the screen and damaged the area. the other two each had a couple grains of what looked like sand under the glass. All of these were around the same area on the tab, mid-lower left area of the screen.
Mines mid high right...
I'm worried about an attempted unlocking... I tried to unlock my tab before they fixed the c4okt issues, and im wondering if it might've sent them a file about that... Also wondering if unlocking will void it for a screen issue.

Dead and stuck pixels are far from unique to Asus. There is a difference by the way, a stuck pixel is one that is, well stuck displaying one color, these can sometimes be fixed by programs like you are running and/or gently massaging the area with a pencil eraser or something similar, dead pixels don't display any color and are rarely able to be fixed.

There is one other thing you can try, VERY gently massage the dead pixel with a something like a pencil eraser, that will sometimes get it working.

That's fine and all... but there's a much thicker layer of glass over a capacitive screen than there is over a resistive touch screen... or just a LCD monitor.
Unless I'm missing something here, this advice does not apply anymore.

The screen will still flex. I am not sure whether it would work or not on these devices, I just put that out there hoping it might help.

Don't feel too bad. I just made the mistake of looking at an all black screen on my Acer a510.
NINE stuck pixels!
One little cluster made a shape exactly like the big dipper. Very artistic, with pretty multicolored stuck-pixel stars.
Needless to say I wasn't thrilled. So much for quality control. Sounds like Asus at least isn't this bad.
I have some dead pixels on my Nexus 7. I purchased it from Sam's Club and am embarrassed to exchange it over a couple dead pixels. The pixels aren't noticeable unless they are on a white screen.
Does anyone else have any dead pixels?
Does anyone know how to fix them?
UPDATE:
If you're experiencing dead pixels return the Nexus. I've just started experiencing some bad screen flicker. The second I get back from vacation I'm returning it.

I suspect with the gorilla glass, it would be difficult if not impossible to fix. Usually they can be fixed if you apply some direct pressure on the screen, but with the glass, I don't see how that's possible. I would just replace it, dead pixels bug my OCD!
I too would return it. In the one case where I did get a dead pixel on an LCD monitor on my desktop, I wasn't able to fix it, even with all of the applications out there that flash each pixel a hundred times a second or whatever... I've just dealt with it since I bought the monitor second hand dirt cheap. In the event of the tablet I'd likely opt to replace it.

Does the N7 even have Gorilla Glass?
I too purchased a Nexus 7 today (just happened to be from Sam's Club as well) and I have a single dead pixel (it's more grey than black though) in the bottom-middle part. It's only noticeable on white or grey backgrounds. I've been running various "dead pixel" transition screens found on YouTube for about 10 minutes so far to no avail. I haven't decided what I'm going to do as to returning it or not.
Dead pixels are a defect. You should have no qualms about returning it. The store will have no problems taking it back, believe me.
Especially if it came from Sam's since they probably have more units... at least my local Sam's Club does. No reason to settle for dead pixels if it bothers you.

I have four stuck pixels that light up blue when the screen is black. I'll probably be keeping it nevertheless as it doesn't have any other problems and the pixels aren't quite visible unless the screen is black.
Don't be embarrassed, you paid good money for this product and its not right. Take it back.

Agreed, they should be used to dead pixels, they sell TVs!
In addition to the dead pixel, I've noticed some random flashing in the middle of the screen. I'm not able to do anything in particular to reproduce it, but it's just very infrequent and random. It's only happened twice in the last 4 hours since unboxing it. Needless to say, I'll be returning for replacement tomorrow.

Well the Nexus is barely half the price of the new ipad. And the Galaxy SIII also costs more then twice as much if you don't buy it from a carrier. (or whatever it's called in the USA or Canada) So that's probably the reason the display isn't as good as those 2.

I couldn't find a single dead pixel in my GNX7 so far. It's pretty flawless, with no bezel separation / raised display, leakage and flickering of any kind.

True. After hours or researched. I came up with not much to go off by lol.
PC screens with IPS screens were saying that yellow tint were cause by a glue not being dry out evaporated yet and the more you use it they tend to just go away and get Better. I guess iPad 2 had similar problems. Most of them advice to use it more and they will go away so I might try that . I'd hate to be without this for a week to 2 weeks. But then again I got mine at Sams but their put and no way of knowing when they we will one.
Didn't happen doh until I got some heavy duty gaming last night. So might have gotten hot and was evaporating the left over glue? Lol correct me if I am wrong but that's what I gather so far..

Is it that whitish color because dirt go in there? Or did it actually look like that when you got it?
I feel like I have a slight on the bottom of mine now...

Dude, I think even with photos, you would be hard pressed to change their mind. Cosmetic faults are always put down as subjective and not worthy of replacement. You should have told them that you were experiencing some technical fault i.e. frequent dropped calls.
If you aren't successful this time round, RMA it again with such an excuse...
