Hi. When I was in the shop I noticed that on the upper left side the back light is brighter than the rest of the screen on white screens. Is this normal? I had the shop open 2 units and it was the same thing.

Could try torquing the screws on back to try and get backlight to shine more evenly. Just a thought. Not every LCD is perfect.

This is very normal with the v10 and v20. Because of the second display, under the second display, there is a darker color. You'll find it most obvious if you have a bright white background. Since the camera is under the left side, it is brighter because it doesn't have the second screen. Also there isn't a great gap between the first and second screen which is resulting in these bleeds and imperfections!

I have a Note 2 and a Nexus 5. When I first turned on my N5 I noticed something was up with the display (not the camera). Then when I put it side by side with my note 2 it was obvious that the N5 has a bad purple tint to the white screens.
My nexus 5 has a warm display, but not purplish. The whites have a slight reddish hue.
Mine is massively too warm, whites are yellow

Same here. Would like normal colors again.

Well thats good that the displays seem to at least be consistently off. Should be easier to rectify. Either way the display still looks gorgeous even though the colors are off a bit. Will look stunning once someone gets a kernel out there that allows us to properly calibrate the colors.
Mine is really brownish warm too with backlight bleeding in the corners. I'll take a picture next to my Nexus 4 when I get home.
In the meantime, could someone take a side by side picture of their Nexus 4/5 using a white background?
Thanks.

I only recently noticed that a strip along the top of my screen is lighter than the rest of the screen. This is different than the screen bleed, which is gradual and you see really at only extreme viewing angles. This lightness is even and follows along several rows of pixels.
Here are some pictures I took: http://imgur.com/a/P9G0a
I should note that I am using Franco Kernel, but I don't see why that would result in this kind of strip.
Is this a screen defect? What would cause this?
Thanks!
I have the same issue. It doesn't bother me too much though, and I'm not sure if its an LCD thing (my previous screen was an AMOLED)

I have the same issue. I'm not sure if it was like that from the beginning or just happened gradually.
Did you end up exchanging it or keeping it?
mines the same the whole way round the phone

What do you mean?
You have a light strip on all four sides?
I've just noticed a large dark splotch on the upper right corner hand of my phone.
Here are some pictures:

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.
Hello! My screen looks like this: http://imgur.com/a/9P3Xn. On the first photo it is a little bit hard to see but there's blue tint on right top and right bottom of the screen. Overall right side of the screen is whiter than left side. Grain is visible on the photos. In real life it isn't too grainy on the first look but when u use the phone it is really anoying, atleast for me. Should i go with warranty? Is it possible to get better screen?

it's normal your screen look like that, is OLED, and almost OLED and AMOLED look like that after some time...if you put your brightness up to 100% you dont notice that too much, only if the brightness is low you notice that...dont worry! I brought my G flex2 4 days ago and my screen have a blue spot like yours but on the right corner in the middle of screen and i am not worried about that!
All AMOLED and OLED screen's someday will have this "problem"...
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.
