I have two nexus 7's, one is a replacement which i got last week and the other is from the day of release.
While both screens have the same colours and resolution you can clearly see the difference in the photo below
Tablet on the left is the new one, the one on the right is the launch day model

I had 4 replacements and two had different screens than the other two. Even different from each other.
Different factories?
I will compare my n7 to my brothers tonight

New screens are worse...the vibrance on mine is terrible; colours have no depth.
I think is the quality of the IPS display. Because some ips displays are factory calibrated differently.

Most probably a different vendor for the screen. Asus does not make everything and some of the parts are sourced from different vendors (they should all have the same specs within tolerance). We used to face this when I worked with Laptops @ Dell.
The only difference I have seen (with laptop screens) is that sometimes a part form one vendor may be more prone to faults than the other. No way of telling which though till more defects are found.
You should be fine. But interesting observation though..
i went through 3 rmas with asus and i can tell you the difference is not screen dependent, but calbration dependent...they changed my screen 3 times, only the third time color changed, and thats because they changed the board(which downgraded me to an 8gb variant-.-)
Same here. I have a C60 8gb from August and a C90 16gb bought in late October, and the screens are different. Very very clearly different.

I have to say there is absolutely no visible difference between my two
Only the way light reflects off of it, I was hoping for better colours.

I think I see what the plan here is.
Make Nexus7 owners believe someone else has a better screen than them, and raise the RMA level....
Sneaky Apple, very sneaky...
Yea differnent release models.. Different hardware. The new screen should have some advantage over the old one, maybe longer lasting, maybe its brighter, or maybe its just cheaper to manufacturer lol

what does Apple have to do with this??
Anyway... is there a difference in touch response? i have the C70 model and it isnt as good as my Galaxy Nexus in touch responses.
When I was purchasing a replacement screen for my laptop on ebay I could choose from different companies that all made screens for that specific laptop. ie Samsung or LG.

I'm pretty sure is a mistake of the shop. Plus that picture on the phone looks like froyo
Most likely thats froyo. Looking at the weather widget, which is the older version, contrary to the latest one present in the GB leaks.

http://www.elgiganten.se/product/mo...LGP990WHITE/lg-optimus-2x-p990-smartphone-vit in Sweden. Say's 2.3.
If this is true, i wonder if they changed any hardware inside or was it just the colour ?

Well, I guess in a glance the specs are kinda similar, though the sgs2 has twice the ram and internal, better front and main camera(quality, though might be software) also exynos and super amoled seems to make for much better battery life.
Anyone know why NFC is optional in SGS2? Are there two different versions?

It looks so good.
You can now get a white digitizer from ebay for 60 backs.
I bet in the next few days we will be able to get the battery cover aswell. So actually u can turn ur 2x into white for like 80 backs : )
God this trend about the color white. It's not just for phones, cars to even coffee mugs are supposedly cooler when it's clad in white color. RIM releases the black(irony) blackberries first because people(men and women) would prefer the white ones. Some people even go so far as to trade-'up' to a white one of the same model. And where I live they're good $20 more expensive too, of course you'll spend quite a bit more trading up to a new phone. But that doesn't seem to be a problem for a lot of people.
This is a trend, white is the new black, next couple years it will be the other way around.
Thats sounds awesome, this means that op2x has a bigger chance to get ICS now than before

Try a screen trainer (or whatever they're called) to see if it's stuck pixels before you return it. But yeah, I totally understand. I can't stand them once I've spotted them; it looks like you got a few of them too.

Yikes. That sucks man. No problems here, on two N7's (I scrutinized both at max brightness as I'm a paranoid type). Take it back, get another!

This isn't going in a dark room and turning up the brightness to look for light bleed; dead pixels really are an annoyance, especially when you've got four or five.
Dead pixels drive me crazy... I've always been anal about my screens. I would still try a screen fix app though before I would exchange.

I've counted five problem pixels on mine. You can only notice it on a black screen. They have a very tiny whiteness to them. I think I can live with it though.
I too have a few bright pixels. I also of a dark spot under the glass between the screen... guess I will be exchanging mine as well

Did you get it from the playstore? If not, Google will tell you to take it back to where you bought it from and get it exchanged there.
What can be seen cannot be unseen
I had mine delivered about 2 hours ago and right up until now I haven't noticed anything.
After seeing this thread I thought I'd check and whilst I only have one stuck pixel (white colour) and it's not in a particularly noticeable location, it's all I can see!
I guess I'll RMA it and I'm glad I can wait until the new one gets to me before sending this one away. Especially after the 3 week wait for it.
I was nervous this would happen with mine but my screen is pretty much fine. Had a little bit of the screen lift but I loosened all the screws and then tightened them and now it seems fine.

Which one is normal? The whiter one is from Sam's Club and the yellow one from Google. Google has always given the nexus devices a yellowish hue so I'm not sure..
My gnex is more yellow than both lol
Well I have to say, it sucks that you have a yellowy screen from google, but this is just the range of screens you will find in manufacturing. Would you have found it yellowy had you not had something to compare it to? Probably but it all comes from the same place... Asus. Google did not tune screens from Play store to be more yellow than that brick and mortar stores. I don't like that there are inferior screens out there, or defects in general. In a perfect world there would be NO defective units, but we don't live in a perfect world. Even the retina equipped iPad has yellow screens for some, etc. If you don't like it (I wouldn't!) please get an exchange! I would not accept that knowing that there are nice white screens out there. In fact, I went through 7 nexus S's and 2 galaxy nexus phones to get one with a screen that I could accept.
It's just a warmer white. Some will get a cooler white which is blueish. Just how displays end up. I know my rezound has a warmer white compared to my friends but I wouldn't call it a defect

I'm going crazy, each nexus 7 I've got have a defect:
Blinking screen, bleeding edge, colour defect :S
Check this, Franko Kernel r13 left, right stock 2min uptime. Both are C80 8gb from google.
I hate this, Too many replacements, what to do, replace again?
the one on the left is correct, the one on the right has washed out colors
It's yellow tint, screen works perfect, if yo compare both tablets you realized how bad the screen is :S
All my previous 2 replacement units have the yellow tint. My original one has normal white color.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Another one affected by yellow tint, in my case in a C80.
This is my second replace, first one was by a very minimal screen lift in the left side.
I'm surprised by the argument about "this is not a defect". We are talking about screens. In a TV/monitor it's unthinkable to ignore these artefacts, why we should do it in a touchscreen device??
Each one have a tolerance, but the fact is the fact. The screen works bad, maybe is related to calibration or maybe with a bad ensamble, but no one guarantee you that it doesn't going to worst.
If you want to have a device that is not optimal "out of the box", you accept a unnecesary risk.
both C80.
Latest 8gb 3 of them with yellow tint.
And here is me thinking the 'warmer' colours were normal on a N7.
Just realized how yellowish all the whites are on mine... and I thought everything is fine with this one.
It's amazing how fast and good can be a cheap 7inch tablet. But when so many have problems
Yellowish whites on IPS
Blueish whites on SAMOLED.
Poor quality controls made by asus

Wait, what? Which tablets have samoled's?
Same here
I think they use different screens - the one on the right is the 3G model. I bought one last week and returned it because of the screen tint. The replacement has the same problem. The device on the right is the 32GB WiFi version I bought three weeks ago. I'm going to return it again and confront customer support with this issue.

My co-worker (iPhone5) and I (N4) each tried to take an identical photo of some bourbon I bought the other day. The side-by-side is below. Granted, this test is close to meaningless, because he might have been shaking during his photo, but I was still pleased to see how much better the N4 output is compared to the iPhone 5 for this particular photo.

Yeah, and the 23-year is like a symphony in your mouth! Too bad the Pappy brand is so hard to come across these days
This confirms what I have seen from these two cams. The iPhone uses a lot of algorithms to make photos "pop", much like setting an SLR to output vivid jpegs. N4 seems to be less agressive with exposure and post-processing.
I can only explain the iPhone image looking fuzzier as being due to camera movement (it does have a better lens).
Yeah, it seems like the camera on the N4 is not adding any effects, allowing you to adjust it in the app itself.
I can see why Apple wants to adjust it a bit though, they are targeting people who just want to take a picture and leave it as it is. Though it might be true of Android customers too, it doesn't seem like Google has that as a priority.

Wow. The iPhone picture looks bright and washed out. The n4 looks darker yet has more detail. Also, the iPhone picture looks like you'd be drinking something watered down and the n4 pic looks like some manly stuff I'd drink even though I don't drink.
I voided my warranty.
As someone who owns both phones. This is a one off situation. The iPhone 5 has a better camera.
yeah, my gf has the iphone5 and i will say it has better photos in about 90% of situations... either way, they are two of the best phone cameras on the market so im okay with either

I am not gonna answer your question since i am not sure whether or not this is a prank thread. Even your budget is dodgy.. $ 512?? what a specific number... Is that 1 buck for every ram in OB?
Anyway i'll give you my opinion about Nexus 5, so that you can make a comparison, on a chance that you are serious about this. Nexus 5 will most likely be manufactured by LG, based on the monster G2. LG is better hardwarewise speaking, but lacks in all other things.
(Off topic it is said that Korean G2 will have SD car slot and removable battery, but international version won't. Another .tupid LG decision. I was searching a replacement from LG for OB, and i came across a phone of theirs which doesn't have "flash". Who puts a camera without flash. As i said best hardware poor everything else)
