At the top of my screen, there are two spots leading up to the edge where the blacks (can only notice it on blacks) are faded. It almost looks like there's a leak where the light is bleeding though, except there is no light bleeding through. Not sure what it is. My camera picked it up a lot better then you can notice it, but you can still notice it when the screens all black.

If you don't think you have this, I would still point a good camera at it to check, because it picks things up that you don't sometimes.
thats called "blacklight bleed" and ALL sidelit LCDS have this issue to some degree (iphone5, htc one X, even your desktop monitor)... you would need a SAMOLED screen to completely get rid of it

Its an expensive camera that's better discerning than the human eye...
If I can't see it with my naked eye, I'm not too worried about it

So i was playing with my friend's Fascinate and I noticed the back lights on his bottom buttons are much brighter than mine, like the difference between an incandescent bulb and a flourescent one. Is this the same for everyone else? just curious seeing how I'm still within the 30 day warranty
Yea I saw the same thing with my buddy's vibrant. Mine seems dull too... I think its just the captivate in general has dull-er lights. Gay gay gay....

It is how it is. I wish they were brighter too. What you see is what we're all stuck with.
Alrighty. not really complaining, just curious. thanks for the answers
I also find the Vibrant's four capacitive buttons a tiny, tiny bit more responsive than mine, which are still not nearly as sensitive as they should be, and are, on most other high end android phones.

The responsiveness can actually change depending on which rom/kernel you are using.
Swyped.....you may have to interpret
Whats funny is that I have currently three captivates on my desk and two are similarly dull but one is Really really bright by comparison. No idea why though.

We have three in our house as well..not a notable difference in brightness. I actually prefer them being low light as your eye is not constantly attracted to them at night.

But it took it like a champ. Brand New AT&T LTE 8.9. I was taking it into the AT&T store to get a sim card, and while getting out of the truck, I grabbed the box, but the opening was facing away from me, and the Tab simply beat me out of the truck. Face down onto the pavement from about 5'.
Thank GOD it still had the protective plastic still on the front and the rear. All I ended up with was a two chipped up corners.
I was sure the screen was going to be cracked when I heard it smack face down. First time EVER dropping a tablet.
Update...

A couple chips sucks but much better than a cracked screen. These tabs look to be pretty solid as far as i can tell. Maybe pick a case up that'll cover the corners.

Yea, doesn't bother me too much. I'm just very picky when it comes to my electronics. I like everything pristine!
i know what you mean. i can be pretty anal about mt electronics too. glad to hear nothing bad happened though.
Anyone having this problem with one side of the screen being brighter? Very noticeable on Grey's and some blues.

Every Samsung AMOLED screen is like that.
My galaxy s3 and note 2 were not like that

Hmmm...I was laying in bed last night streaming some videos because I couldn't sleep. I think I would have noticed something like that on the black loading page...I recall everything was of uniform brightness. I'll have to check again later & specifically look for it. However, I'm incredibly anal about that kind of stuff so I think it would have stuck out like a sore thumb.
I have a Charcoal Grey unit, by the way.
Opened up Chrome to that blank screen like you did and mine looks normal. I was thinking perhaps it was just a viewing angle sort of problem, but every angle I tried looked the same...normal. Not sure what could be causing that for you.

We've come a long way with display technology and bad displays are a lot more rare than they used to be, but a bad one still will slip through from time to time. A trip down to the local AT&T store to swap it out for a new one will fix the problem.
Noticed there are dots on the display the run symmetrically up and across the screen. They are faint but when in direct sunlight they shimer sort of and it's a little annoying. Cant notice in regular lighting. Anyone else notice this or should I try to send back?
I have this too

I have this too, i do not think it is a defect and i do not have any problems with the lines and dots. You should speak to a sony representative and ask them what it is.
I probably should have done a google search before posting. Seems like it is the digitizer. Grid patterns thats how the touch screen works. It's normal. I guess I need to stop being a little girl about this phone.lol

@Notchr302 I noticed it too the other night at a store. Because of the configuration I figured it was the digitizer but I have never seen one so obvious.

Has anyone else had this?
It's not dissimilar to this issue in the old LG G PAD

It is not as prominent, but it is there. It's like tiny lights, which illuminate the bottom edge of my Z3+, are there across the bottom - more visible on whites, or bright colours.
I can live with it (I think) if it's a common issue, but is it or should I replace?
Many thanks. Once more, it's not as prominent ! Same effect, about half a centimeter, if that, long.

I've had a 3rd unit, and it was worse than this one - with the first, white, being the worst of them all.
It's so minimal, this odd light bleed I mention, that I'll keep the 2nd one I think. It's like a very very thin lightbleed, only visible against red or blue, in a wavy pattern - less than 2-3 milimeters. I think, overall, the panel job is not so good because they made the phone thinner.
I don't have it
