[Q] tf300t screen quality - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello,
Are you satisfied with the tf300t screen quality? I think the black on mine is a little uneven with really faint lines when the screen is completely black.do you think it is normal?
thanks

It would be way better if it weren't for the large areas of light bleed around the edges and corners! Other than than, I'm satisfied.

I get loads of backlight bleeding on mine. The screen as a whole (including the glass surface) seems a step backward from the TF101.

I just started noticing light bleed on the left and right sides of mine. Nothing major, only really noticeable on the loading screen and to a lesser extent, my primarily black wallpaper (a style I tend to favor).
Other than that, I have no complaints. Although, if I fire up Angry Birds Space and put it right next to my girlfriends iPad 2, it definitely does not look quite as nice.

My old Prime had some noticable bleeding several places around the edges, but that was only visible when displaying black and at a high brightness.
I've always hated light bleeding, and also uneven black-levels, but I always get devices with these errors no matter what... I've had 6 different LCD-TV's, and every one of them has had various problems with light bleeding / uneven backlight / black levels - so i started to think it wasn't possible to get it perfect, and that it was only me who was being too demanding.
However, my TF300T seems perfect - guess I'm lucky with this one

I just bought this tablet and there is one spot (about the size of my thumb, in the lower left quadrant of the screen) that shows up lighter against a dark background-- for ex. when it's booting up.
It's bothering me but I haven't decided if I'll attempt to get it exchanged (I could get a worse one?).

well,I just found a tiny little dot on the screen.It doesn't seem to be a dead pixel but a tiny hole in the polarizer...

On my second device. Traded my 16 for a 32gbversion when they first released them. My 16 screen was perfect out of the box, no bleed, no dead pixels. My 32 looks like a shop light when booting but i don't notice it during use. Watch out,the screens scratch soooo easy. Definitely pick up a screen guard, this isn't gorilla glass.

i can confirm this as well although it doesn't bother me at all, the scratches are light so you don't see them when the screen is on. i'd rather have a few light scratches then a screen protector since i always get lint or dust stuck under the protector, even when i'm extra carefull and this bothers me more than scratches.

[Q] Light bleeding through white plastic

Hi, I had my note for about a week and a half and I noticed a lot of light bleeding through the plastic around the screen. Is this normal or should I be worried? Thank, RandomAwesomeGuy.
I never had any light bleed on my Note. I got it for two weeks now and everything seems fine. Maybe try to contact Samsung support or anything. As I've read around here, light bleeds are pretty unusual with Samsung's builds.

Same
I have the same problem. Not really sure about it but i can't return mine until I fill out the warrenty card, it doesn't really bother meq though.
There are reports of light bleed in notes unfortunately most of the tablet suffer from this if its new tablet just get it replaced. Though light bleed is not a sign of hardware failiure but note not put together properly
It is pretty bad, there is a lot of blotches on the screen and the plastic rim is bleeding light. Like I said, the tablet is about 1 and a half weeks old, and I still have the plastic protection around the sides and back . Does any one know if Bestbuy will exchange it?
Please post a photo to see what you mean.

There's some sort of streak developing on the left side of my screen.

About an inch in after the border of the tablet (left, top and bottom) there's a streak of some sort developing (about 1/4 inch thick) I noticed it when I started paying more attention to keeping my screen clean. Initially I thought it was a smudge from swiping the screen up and down but it won't go away after using a microfiber cloth, though it's hardly noticeable after cleaning . Then I began to think it was my folding cover for it since the line matches up sort of but then there should be one forming on the right side too (there isn't) and the streak goes about 2 inches past where the stitchlines go so it cant be that. It shows up when I fog my screen up, or after my screen gets a bit dirty.
Anyone notice this on their screens? I'm thinking it's heat induced from the tablet itself but I have no basis for that claim. It's sort of starting to bug me...

Have you tried to clean it with something other than just the cloth? Start with water.

A good splash.
Just kidding. The advice to just use a damp cloth with a little bit of detergent is sound, though. No surface is perfectly smooth, so you could have some external buildup pf grease. I do hope it is external, though. :fingers-crossed:

I have the same issue in the middle of my screen when i press on it it kinda leaves a weird trace of the txt or picture behind it. Ive seen this on more then a few of these asus tf700t's. It looked like water at first was under the screen but it wasnt. Others will notice ifthey clean thescreen while the asus is on stare at the screen.i didnt notice for a long time.

That's probably fluid from the LCD (inside the LCD). Nothing to worry about. You can see it more clearly when on a light background.
I've tried with water and moved my way up to windex / diluted alcohol in the past to no avail.

looking at my screen more closely I realized it is coming off the tablet slightly have to cause a problem with enough to cause this streaking which I believe from the person above said LCD liquid in between the screen and lcd crystals and that's what my streaking happened. these places Bend really easy and it will cause the screen to slightly come off of its place which has happened to mine also the power Slot binge easily where you slide the power USB cable and this is a known issue. If you slide your finger around the bezel you will feel the screen slightly raised more on one side then the other.

Has this phone a visible digitizer grid?

Or it's just my unit? I mean it's not bad, I can only see thin horizontal lines when the screen is off/dark and reflects some light. It's not as annoying as the replacement I once got on my Lumia, which had like thick checkerboard-like grid, pretty much always visible unless you were in a super dark room, but I notice it from time to time. How's your screen? Is it perfectly uniform when light reflects upon it or you can actually see some pattern, even if it's very light? Just wondering whether my unit is defective or it's just the norm. Thanks.
I can see slight lines in mine also. No big deal since that's how the screen is made I believe.

I've seen it too in the right lighting conditions.
That's what I was thinking pretty much...well, I feel sorta relieved right now, but basically I was simply curious...this is the best screen I've ever seen period, I'm more than happy with it!
The Nexus 5 definitely has a beauty of a screen, I can notice digitizer lines barely in direct sunlight with the phone tilted at a certain angle

[Q] Defective Replacement Screen

Looking for opinions.
Ordered my 5 on day one. It had a stuck pixel and a little bleed. Probably should have RMA, but wanted to wait a bit. As luck would have it I cracked the screen before I got around to it. So I replaced it myself with this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HKL3DEM/ref=oss_product
After 2 months use, the screen has rapidly deteriorated. I can even notice the defects in TWRP and on the boot screen. Doesn't TWRP kind of load it's own kernel? That kind of rules out any kind of software problems. Any suggestions for where to get a more reliable screen replacement? I sent the following to the seller:
Hi,
I carefully read the reviews on this product. Some claimed that the screen may not be OEM equipment and was not as pictured in the display. It seemed like a risk, but I needed a screen.
I have replaced many screens several of my devices and my children's devices. The swap was effortless. When I booted my phone with the new screen, it appeared to be a major success again. There were no dead or stuck pixels and minimal back light bleed around the edges. The only noticeable issue was a very bright area around the soft keys. Particularly on white pages.
The screen was installed in early April, and recently I have noticed it become gradually duller with an increase of bleed around the edges. Then yesterday, things got much worse very quickly. I noticed greenish bleed/band around all edges. The bright white around the soft keys is brighter. There is a 1/8 inch band around the top of the screen that is very dark. It is not very bright and the colors are dull. From previous experiences, I know that these are signs that it will only get worse.
One of the reviews talked about a similar situation: Looked great at first, and deteriorated after a month or so.
I would like to request a replacement screen for my Nexus 5.
Thank you.

Little round white spots on screen 2 replacements.

Hi guys,
I have replaced the screen in my nexus 5 twice now. I purchased the screens from Amazon. The first screen on white backgrounds I would kind of see a square image on the screen in white. It kind of looked like the outline of the battery. It also had a few white spots on the screen. I tried loosening some of the screws but it didn't help. I contacted the seller and he recommended another replacement. He sent out another screen plus digitizer and frame.
The new screen arrived and I put it in. This screen is a lit better. I know only get 3 tiny white spots about the size of the screws in the nexus 5. Two look like they are where the battery would be inside the phone. The third is about 3 quarters of the way up the screen in the middle and slightly to the left. Why does this keep happening? Anyone got any ideas on what could be causing this?
One thing I have noticed is in the dark with the screen on around the sides of the phone in places I can see slivers of light shining around the screen. It seams that the tape that the screen provider used was not sticky enough. Could this be what is causing the white spots? The screen seams firmly attached at the top and bottom just the sides. I heated it up with a blow dryer and held the screen down till it cooled. It slowly goes back to the way it was.
Thanks,
Rocky
Light bleeding from the edges of the frame in a dark environment is not uncommon with 3rd party screens. Putting on a case can help a lot.
As for the white spots, it may be a manufacturing defect that has nothing to do with the way you assembled the phone.
So there is nothing that can be done about the white spots? I don't understand how both screens did this. Seams like there is a very high failure rate. From comparison and matching numbers s to the stock digitizer the replacement seams to be a stock digitizer and frame. The white spots are annoying.
It's possible that both screens came from the same production run. I used screens from aliexpress and only one had a bit of light bleed around the frame. Once I put on a case, you could not see the light bleed.
None of the replacement screens had any dead or stuck pixels or hot spots.
