Should I sent my Note back to the service center?

I think my screen has a serious problem.
When I made it to display 50% gray, there are these weird uneven lines.
Do you think I will get a screen replacement?
It has been driving me nuts.

Can you take a picture of it with a camera, so we see what you mean?

As you can see, the two long ovals, there is this weird lines. It actually looks worse in real life cause I don't have another good camera as a source.
Then the right side, the colour of the grey is different. A little yellowish patch compared to the left side.
And I used LCD Test.

Seems its a defective amoled panel, so if you don't feel good about it sent to warranty.
Anyway if this just happen in a solid gray picture then is not a big deal.

Screen defect.. Is this hardware or software?

Hey guys
I sold my nexus 4 previously but just re purchased one because nothing out there matches the smoothness of this beauty..
But anyway I've noticed some weird screen bugs happening now and again and wanted to know if its hardware or software?
I'm running PA with Franco. I'm guessing I need a replacement but just thought id get another opinion first
Thanks

Since it's visible in screenshots, it's 100% software. Flash the stock images and see if that helps

Thanks ill give that a go.. i did find it a little weird that it showed on screenshots too

Still doing it after flashing factory image... no apps installed or anything custom... its so strange

I had a HTC sensation 3g that did this I ended up having to get a hardware replacement to fix it. I never had that problem before or after that phone

Screen "banding" and 'burn-in"

So I'm currently talking with Google and waiting on an email back to see their response...On any grey or dark surface, I have a white banding on either side of the screen that runs the height of it. I also experience some burn in with my calendar widget (due to the white boxes on it). You can see them in the one photo. It almost looks as they've burned in through the settings menu.
Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
I thought it might be normal at first but I compared it to my wife's N4 and her display is flawless!

Not normal. It is defective. Google should take care of it no problem and send a replacement.

I get it with the tapatalk app avatar boxes and the keyboard if I leave the screen on for a while. But it always clears its self up before I notice it to much more.
I've had my Nexus since February and its done it since day 1.

update touchscreen firmware, if not, it's a hardware defect.
there's plenty of these threads around

You can try update firmware but probably won't help. I have it too, for the second time. The fix is to replace the screen.
It often happens when charging the phone while doing something that makes it heat up. The cpu gets too hot and fries that part of the screen.
It can definitely happen without charging. I'm using a different phone now.

Banding problem in progress meters and games

In 3d games and parts of the gui there are random dots like banding is this a screen malfunction? It can't be software right? How unreliable. What do I do? Return it? Ugh I just got it. Wtf is wrong with Motorola qa in its factories?? This is unacceptable. Will they send me a replacement before I have to return the defective unit? Is there a quick fix? What are my options?

It's mainly whenever it's showing green. But it has to be software issue not the screen hardware or else screenshot wouldnt have captured this issue. Those bright dots run around whenever there is motion. Even in the Android gui

Does anyone know if a factory reset might fix this issue. It's not going away. Established that it isn't a hardware problem as I sent the screenshot from another phone and looking at it.
