[Q] Dead pixel or ...?

I just got a replacement N7 since my first one stopped turning on or charging and this replacement one seems iffy. This little spot on the screen is always there, and is only not visible on black screens.
Any thoughts on what it is?
Attached is the best pic I could get of it...

Hi, lostchopstik...
Could be 'stuck' pixels....
I assume you've tried rotating the tab to see if it would move/go away?
Try installing one of the many SCREEN TEST apps from PlayStore.... you can scroll through various test screens.
If the 'artifact' refuses to disappear, and if it's something that's too much of an irritant to live with...
...get another replacement...
It's just not worth the hassle of being bugged by some screen defect... if that's ALL you're going to be looking for, EVERY time you turn on your tab.
Rgrds,
Ged.

[Q] Stuck pixel, worth returning?

It's very tiny and the it's in the top left corner in case you can't see it. Since it's only visible on a black screen at certain angles, I don't know if it's worth returning the device, especially since I'm on CM10.1 now. What do you guys think?

I have one in the upper left on the tool bar.. I only see it when I did a dead pixel test.. I never notice it in games or apps.. I have to go looking for it to see it so it's no big deal to me at this point.

Thats pretty much how I feel. There's actually a second one in the middle but both don't seem to bother me much. Hooray for such a high PPI I guess.

Is this image retention?

I am noticing a burned in bar on the lower half of the screen. I am not sure what to make of this? Could this just be an issue with AMOLED panels? It's not very noticeable unless you look for it, but it is definitely there. Look very hard and you'll see a bar. Would love some opinions on this.

I can't really see anything. Pictures are distorted.

Warranty it

My Galaxy S2 has the same thing.

If it is image retention you need to warranty it. Phones shouldn't get that (even amoleds) until they're a few years old (or you've had the screen turned on from the moment you got it till now on the same image lol)

Color/temp shift from left to right

I notice a definite color temp shift most noticeabl on a solid white, or the keyboard. Left side keys are cool slate gray right side more tan gray and lighter. Defective? This is my second, the first battery was draining unusually fast....but screen looked much better with no variation.
Thanks!

replace it

My first one had the same thing at the top. Manager at Verizon replaced it. Bad led or something.

Well, now I don't know if I should get this replaced. Took a picture with it on an all white screen...

EDIT: I will say, while I notice it on white webpages or in gmail when looking from top to bottom, that pic looks WAY worse than in person, lol.

The picture is not so clear but I think the color at the middle is fading out, right?

Yeah my bad took it with my N7!
But yes just to the left of the middle there is a think black line where its sort of faded, shows up on anything grey...Kind of annoying.

Either it's the fault of the ROM or it's happening due to screen burn-in
