I just got my TF700 and near the top of the screen theres a small circle spot, less than 1 mm in diameter. It seems as if its underneath the glass and cant be wiped off. Its most noticeable when theres a bright background and its darker than its surroundings.
Has anyone else had this happen to their transformer? Is it fixable? Or should I get it exchanged?

I also have something black sandwiched between the glass and screen as well. Drives me crazy when browsing the web since most pages have a white background.
Looks like a small piece of debris got under there during the manufacturing process. Shame because everything else with my infinity is perfect. It's too noticeable to ignore so I'm going to have to swap it out for another.

I might replace mine too, but it doesnt look like its debris. It's just slightly darker than its surroundings.

Well, the more posts I see around, the less optimistic I am about seeing Asus fix the light bleed issues with the TF. For some reason, this is the only issue that is bothering me enough to consider returning it. If it wasn't for that, I would be a 95% satisfied customer.
Anyways, instead of waiting for answers, I figured I'd look for alternative methods of fixing the light bleed. I came across this post:

Do you think it's possible. First we need to know what exactly causes this light bleed to be able to address it. It could be simpler than we thought.
Have you guys tried this? Any other recommendations?
Well bang away and let us know what happens.....
P.S. Go JETS.
Not sure if you could do this due to gorilla glass overlay

From everything I've seen on the internet, I just think light bleed is problem of the technology, its what happens when you have a screen that is using a side lit LED screen vs a back lit LED screen. (Ipad2, Transformer, and multitude of LED Tv's). Its the drawback of having the thinnest screen that everyone is wanting.
I'm not so sure, mine didn't have bleed at all until after I'd had it a couple of days, it just appeared. I'd handled it with kids gloves. I'm wondered if the light bleed may be caused by the case distorting a bit due to internal heat and or the fact that the housing isn't particularly strong?

If you carefully put pressure on the bezel you will notice that the light bleed is changing. It seems to be a dynamic process so your observation doesn't mean you "abused" the tablet. It's just the problem with having a flexible material (plastic) as case.
That means that it must be related to some pressure on those spots where the light bleed is originating from. Perhaps there is a way to relieve it some?!

I have no idea if the following is true but I think I remember the light bleed is caused by insufficient sealing. So if you morph the case it might lift the seal more. To find the right spots to fix this is very difficult IMHO (acupressure ).
Flex your TF or press on areas of the bezel and you will affect the light bleed.
There is no way to fix without disassembling it and having right tech to reassemble in a way that is perfectly even.
What causes light bleed?
Kinda a dumb question.
You see, an LCD panel needs this thing called a 'backlight', that shines through the liquid crystal layer. It's filtered by the liquid crystals to produce different colors.
Well, sometimes this backlight can 'bleed' around the edges of the LCD because it's not sealed up properly.
The 'fix' for this on a device like a Transformer would require disassembly and reassembly to better seal the edges of the screen.
The best solution any of us will be able to get will be to RMA our units and hope the replacements are a little better built. Personally, the bleed doesn't bother me much at all, so I'm not going to bother.
Could ASUS not ad a this metal support border to the screen, to counteract some of the flexibility in the chassis? EK follows the same principal with their waterblocks (allbeit for different reasons)
Maybe ASUS could fix it by adding some felt around the glass before assembling it, let it act as a washer.
how about some ducktape ... that fixes everything.
the light bleed is def due to to much pressure on the screen

Really? Are you that obnoxious? You gave a pretty complex and technical answer to just a dumb question.
i got my tf300 in the mail today and opened it and everything looks to be completely unmolested.
however if it's off and i get the light shining on it just right, i see diagonal lines on the screen that form perfectly symmetrical squares all across the screen. i seriously touched the screen twice since taking it out of the box, so it's nothing i did. i can't take a picture of it either, it doesn't show up. it is subtle but absolutely noticeable.
can anyone else look at theirs and tell me if i'm crazy? i mean i don't know what else it could be if it isn't part of the glass. the lines are way too perfect to be some kind of accident.
btw, can't feel them or anything, they look like light marks...tried to wipe them off with the cleaning cloth to no avail.
It is part of the screen, I assume it is part of the digitizer (or whatever you want to call it for capacitive touch screen sensor).
It only is visible on certain angles, not always.
yep, they're there all right. they actually look pretty cool. i don't think asus would put them there if they didn't have a good reason, you can't see them most of the time anyway so it's all good.
I have got my tf700 for 2 days. It seems that the bottom left part of the screen/glass (edge) is not as flat as the top part. When I press it, I can feel a little loose. Another thing is when the whole screen is showing a pure black, such as restarting with asus logo, the bottom part is not uniform, with a little spotted white area. Is it just me or common for all tf700?
The small amount of give at the bottom left corner of the screen seems common across many users. Mine was flat but I could press it down 1-2mm and it would spring back up - wasn't really an issue for me. I didn't notice any white spotted areas on the screen when it was black, I've since returned mine so might be worth waiting on someone else's opinion on that.

You're right about the screen and the little white spotted is the light bleed..

Sorry that gave you a bad feeling. I will keep it. I have ipad3 and it has similar light bleed aslo, not a big deal when you use it. It is not noticeable for normal usage. The loose fit of the screen isn't sever at all. Hope asus can improve the software soon. It is a very good tablet but not as smooth as apple, but I love many android functions as apple product can hardly be modified.
Anyone else have any issues in regards to the screen?
I can look past the horrible refresh rate/ghosting, but this is really bugging me, amongst other things.
It seems the bottom half, mainly in the left corner, is quite a bit brighter than the top, making it seem more yellow, and the top a darkish pink hue.
The bottom corners also have very noticeable light bleed strip down the sides, which is noticeable on any screen/colour. It's like a small bright 3mm or so wide strip each side.
Half way up theres also a mark that separates where the brighter part of the screen starts/ends, so I'm wondering if someone dented the back of the panel when assembling it in the factory?
Either way I've requested a replacement, I'm just more curious to see if it's a common problem or not. Ghosting aside, the screen itself is quite stunning to look at, especially with a bit of ambient light in the room.

i didn't get your question, but if it is that i have any issues in regards to the screen? then no, i think it's stunning...
I also have the light bleed in the corners but it's only really noticeable on the bottom of the right bezel (in portrait). The light bleed looks like a strip on bright white light running up the right hand bezel before stopping about a third of the way up.
This is my second z3 and I'm contemplating whether to bother with another replacement or just return it altogether. Can't say I've been won over by the phone so far...I may just go for the note 4 instead...
Hi Everyone,
I recently bought a Oneplus one and am a bit disappointed with the display. Besides having the yellow part at the bottom, when I look a little at it at an angle I see the screen tint to whitish almost blue and this effect increases as my eyes level to the surface, this is best seen by looking from the right corner of the screen with a black background. Is this normal? I only need my head to be slightly away from the screen to notice it. Also I notice light bleed from the top.
Let me know if this is just an effect of the LCD display and if its normal. I've used amoled displays before this.
Regards,
Bobbie

I don't have this issue on mine. Honestly though, why is it such an issue? The scenario you're describing would just never happen in the normal use of the phone, nobody looks at their phone on such an angle when using it.

Hi Heisenberg,
Thanks for the quick reply. I do notice it during normal use otherwise it wouldn't be a problem. The phone is on the left side of my computer now and as i'm looking at it I notice the whitish blue tint while using a black background.

Fair enough. Dunno what to say though, I have two of these and neither of them have a tint when viewed on any angles. I initially thought my screen protector might be why but that can't be the case because one of them doesn't have a protector on it.

Mine does have a screen protector on it that was already on it when I received it, could it cause some kind of tinting? I only see it from an angle not if i just look down from the top to the bottom of the phone, then it looks perfect.

It's possible. Those films that come already on the phone aren't actually screen protectors as such, well they're not meant to be used for an extended period of time anyway, they're really just to give light protection during the shipping process. I'd recommend you remove that one and get yourself a good tempered glass protector. The Nillkin 9H is exceptional and it's quite cheap too (less than $10).
