Since the Nexus S uses the same SAMOLED as the Galaxy S phones (which are prone to burn in due to its technology), I would expect it to have the same problem.
Just a heads up because someone is bound to come here complaining about it sooner or later.
The first thing people notice is the AM/PM burn in, so if you care, I recommend switching to military time
The a.m. / p.m. was removed in Gingerbread.
I will ALWAYS use ADW or Launcher Pro from now on to hide the notification bar to avoid screen burn. I also use a non-stock browser (Dolphin atm) to hide the notification bar as well.
My captivate has never burned in, but I do keep it on lowest brightness settings.

you know what? I just now noticed that!
My nexus one has burn in of the notification bar too. The white color causes it but now since its black it will reduce it. But the white text like the clock time can still cause it. Use launcher pro to hide the bar completely is recommended to reduce the time showing a static image in one spot.

Same here.... just became aware of this now...
Opened Angry Birds and there it was!
Already have Burn in on the Nexus S
LOL I am sure this will cause a ruffle tuffle. But I know how you guys like to ***** about stupid **** so here goes.
I have keyboard burn in on portrait mode. Simple test. With no notifications and keyboard up pull down the notification window. You will see that the keys's outline still show. Now hide the keyboard and do the same. You will see the outline still in the notification pull down.
Oh boy; I'll let others have a go at this post.
I don't know what your talking about. The keyboard does not show through the notification bar for me

I have it too, but it fades away after a few seconds.

Its not permanant bro..
I've been turning the screen timeout off to prevent the screen from turning off while gaming until the game devs update for Gingerbread compatibility. Last night I left it on when I went to sleep and a scheduled backup woke the phone up in the middle of the night. Screen was on for 6 hours displaying the same image. Absolutely no image burn.
If you're seeing burn-in after using the phone normally, you need to exchange it.

its an lcd not plasma. you wont get burn in this quicly if any. you have an issue with your phone.
the other day someone posted something like that. about burn in issue in weird vertical lines. i thought he is talking about the screen grid pattern that its more obvious in some poor designed screen than others.
..............
HOW ON EARTH SAMSUNG MANGAED TO GET AN LCD SCREEN WITH A BURN IN ??????????????????????????????????????
is their QA/QT a big friggin ZERO ???????
Does the nexus s use a different type of screen than the galaxy phones? My vibrant uses a super amoled screen, which I believe have more of a chance for screen burn in than plasma.

Umm its not an lcd, its an amoled and they absolutely suffer from burn in. Just ask the many nexus one owners. It took only one month from brand new for my notification bar to burn in to the screen. All Samsung amoled screens suffer from this, including the nexus s will too. Unless of course you're careful not to allow any one static image to remain on the screen for too long.

hmm weird i dont remember having this on my galaxy S. this is really weird to hear :/
Anyone else experiencing this??? It looks weird almost like it's a lag or something but it's not. It's like a legit pinkish type tint when scrolling. Am I gonna have to return my device ALREADY?!?! I literally just bought it 4 hrs ago -___-
EDIT: OK so I'm informed this is called "smearing" and that's the perfect word to describe it. Only happens in the settings, looks like the words are lagging behind my scroll and catch up lol. Is there a work around for it or something? Even though there shouldn't have to be but that'd be nice i I didn't hafta go through the process again of getting a new phone a day after I got this lol.
If you mean in the settings, that's normal. That's screen smearing/ghosting. Explanation is in this video here http://youtu.be/C_APG3kLiYs around 13:30.
The pink tint issue is another thing.

Yes, it only appears in the settings that it "smears" as you call it, yeah actually smearing is a way better word to describe it, not a different tint. Is it on every S4 that this is happening, or is it a defect in only a small % of S4's? And is there a workaround for it?
Also, what is the "pink tint issue"?
Thanks!

It's the software. I've heard of the pink tint but haven't read up on it. I heard the smashing affect is cleared up on the new update we might get but that could just be talk.

Yes. Every S4. There is a work around. But it takes away from the screen by messing with the gamma. The pink tint issue is when part of your screen is darker than the other. Like my S4 is dark at the bottom and gets lighter as it goes up like a gradient. Like this picture http://i.imgur.com/9jhVEnr.jpg or this http://i.imgur.com/DhryGwg.png
It's more noticeable on grey screens.

The smearing will only happen in dark settings yes. It has to do with unused pixels. Like the video I posted before explains. If you don't have a pink gradient issue then you're all good. If it does I'd get it exchanged asap before you're stuck with it like me.

Look at a solid dark grey background. If its darker on one side that's bad. I noticed mine when I was texting everytime I pulled the keyboard up the text bubbles changed colors a bit.
Has anyone noticed faint horizontal white lines running across graphic images? I've noticed this most in widgets or picture thumbnails. Tried to take a screenshot but they don't seem to get captured. Very thin lines - like just a pixel or two in width. Sometimes changing screen and coming back makes them disappear. Often if I move the screen by swiping they disappear (even with a very small movement) but then reappear as soon as I let go. Don't think I've noticed on previous smartphones; wasn't sure if this was a byproduct of the 1080p resolution.

In certain lighting, I see what looks like a dot matrix all over the screen, but from what I've heard, that's normal. Not sure what exactly that is though...
I can see it the clearest when the screen is off. I think it is part of the screen tech, not the resolution, but I could be wrong

I cant replicate your problem, sounds like you my friend may have bad screen. I would request a replacement at your closest vendor.
And the dot matrix on the screen is part of the screen, essentially it is part of the touch system that you love and cherish!

I'm sure you can if you hold them a certain way in the light, you will notice it. I know on my Bionic it is visible but can only be seen if held the right way in the light with the screen off.

Hmm... might check on that. Got the phone at Best Buy - not sure how good they are about replacements. Problem is, the issue is kind of fleeting. What I mean is these lines are not static. Even when I see them it looks like there is a touch of flashing going on, and the slightest screen swipe makes them go away. Sometimes they stay gone and sometimes they come right back. I wish I could do a screen capture - maybe I will have to just photo edit some lines to illustrate what I see

no but really, the inc was an awesome flagship ;D
and at the time i think HTC was one of the few phones that did the dots still..i remember the moto x didn't have them. i don't even know what the point of them is
I can see them on mine, but only in certain light and at certain angles and when off. I never see them when using it.
Finally got around to taking a picture of this with a separate camera. This is the weirdest issue! I can't capture it with a screenshot. It only happens on some images, and even those sometimes the lines disappear if I rotate the display. I tried doing a factory reset but that didn't help. Doesn't seem to be a hardware issue because I don't see it anywhere else except certain images (probably like 5 - 10% of them). Not app related - I've seen this happen in many apps that have images. This attachment was done in the Play Store app, on an app preview. Also seen it on Feedly, Android Central, Gallery, etc. Can't figure out what is going on!

It is the digitizer. It is what registers your touch

Did you ever find a solution to this?
I'm seeing the exact same lines after having a broken screen replaced.
me too, on my recently bought ebay G2 (VS980) - i think screen and digitizer are fine. i think it has something to do with the graphic card or rastering memory as it only happens when there is a high computational demand on display apparently? happened with two separate firmwares - one stock and one non-stock - so clearly it is not a software issue (i guess)
I'm pretty sure it's the screen. I had my screen replaced again and the issue is completely solved.
Hello! I have had my g2 d802 for around a month now, and I have noticed a blue tint when I am viewing it from the side.. When I tilt it to the other side it began to be yellow. At its worst the screen is "washed out". So I am wondering if this is normal? Or is it a hardware problem?

Are you able to go to a store to compare your phone with a working display model? I'd check there first to see if the display model has a better screen than yours. Chances are your screen may be defective. You'll know right away if its good or not
Anyone else who is having this? Im just wondering if its worth sending it in for that. Really happy with the phone otherwise, and haven't dropped it either :S
Thanks for all answers!

Yes, I should probably do that. I am around 40km away from a store where I can try one, but I will probably go there and check. I read that this phone had pretty good viewing angles so it might be defective..:/
Just guessing here, but did you come from a Samsung device or any other with (AM)OLED screen tech?
That tech is self illuminating and doesn't exhibit the off-axis effects typical of even the very best LCD displays.
It's normal for a LCD display to wash out and/or color shift off axis.
As to whether or not yours is typical, I can't say.

Ok, might just that the screen is like this. The only solution here is probably just to compare it with another G2 then..
Anyone else got an LG G4 that has bad viewing angles? It turns yellow tint if I pretty much tilt it at all
No yellow tint at all here... maybe your unit is defective? I'd say exchange it.
Yeah was going to go look at a demo in the store and see how it looks. I mean I know Samsung screens are better than most but compared to my note 4 this screen kooks like a tns panel from a 2004 laptop

You sure they didn't send you a G3 which was notorious for yellow tint? I couldn't stand that when I had the G3. Now that I have the G4, that yellow tint is gone. Though I still think the best display is on my G2.

Note 4
I see a polarized-like tint when I tilt the phone, but I don't see yellow. I still have the factory screen protector on though, so not sure what the naked screen looks like yet. I'll check it out when the real screen protector comes in.
Same here
I have the same problem. Went to LG G4 from Samsung Note 4. The viewing angle is nowhere close to Galaxy Note 4 or S6. It's disappointing, because otherwise LG G4 is an amazing phone.
Yeah, my T-Mobile H811 looks funny when tilted, I get a very slight yellow hue at the bottom but if I tilt it back to straight it goes away. I had issues like this with pretty much every LCD display I've ever seen, even my Nexus 9 does it, it's just the way LCD panels are, which is why I prefer AMOLED.
The issue of yellow tint is directly related to what kind of ambient lighting you're surrounded by. It's a lot more visible outdoors in daylight (cloudy day) than late at night with incandescent lighting. It's not visible at all in fluorescent lighting. I'm just ignoring it because it's otherwise a great phone.
