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

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.

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.

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.

I've gotten a little worried about all the talk here regarding screen defects. Made a quick video to see what you think?
At the first boot I did notice a stuck pixel on upper edge of screen....greenish. Didn't think that would bother me much. Decided to get one of the test apps and take a look. Its hardly visible... Mostly on dark screens.
I did notice on the black screen some bleed light. Not sure if that is a little inevitable with LED screens. It changes a bit if u squeeze the bezel. Just not used to that coming from AMOLED Note. Blacks on this are way better but whites on Nexus are better.
Thanks.

I've just noticed a large dark splotch on the upper right corner hand of my phone.
Here are some pictures:
http://imgur.com/a/LHiF1#0
These were taken with my Nexus 7 2013 so excuse the poor quality. I removed my screen protector prior to taking these shots.
All the color screens are from Dead Pixel Test. I've also included a snap of gmail and circa just to illustrate the blotch in apps with light backgrounds.
I try to be as careful as I can with my phone. I've never dropped my phone on the ground or in water.
I found this article while I was searching - it looks similar.

What kind of damage is this?
Seems like a force to the screen? Do you carry your phone in your back pocket?

No, I always carry it in my front pocket and give it the entire pocket.
Hmm whatever this blotch is, it's now shrunk to this small 1mm circle.
I think there's too much pressure being applied somewhere but I can't seem to find the spot. It's very light and doesn't really show in pictures, but to help give you guys an idea as to where it is, it's about mid to a quarter of the way up from the bottom of the phone. Any tips on how to alleviate this stress area?
Edit: I forgot to mention that touching around the area somewhat distorts the screen (ripple-like effect when you press down hard on an LCD/LED monitor). Even the lightest tap causes this.
Have you tried disassembling and re-assembling the phone? The distortion happens when you touch the front or rear? Does the glass/LCD look perfectly uniform in colour when the screen is off?
Distortion happens when touching the front and I have disassembled it. I'm starting to think it's a manufacturing imperfection. Seller on eBay claims it's OEM but I highly doubt it, considering the tight fit for the sim and back casing. Ah well. I think I'll just chalk this up to buyers remorse and move on.
