I've had my Nexus for only 2 days and I've noticed some artifacts on my display. I've included screenshots using Screen Test app which show some horizontal lines on my display and also vertical lines but these are more vivid on the device itself they don't seem to show so much in the screenshots. These lines are visible regardless of what I use as wallpaper. Anyone else having this issue or is this normal?? Will this clear up over time or do I need to send it in for an RMA??

LMFAO....
Ok, so because you are obviously clueless about the distinction between hardware and software, any visual artifact caused by the AMOLED display **CAN NOT** appear on a screenshot.
Those lines you are seeing are due to the DITHERING algorithm used to generate the gradient that you are displaying. Gradient = the progression from white to black through multiple degrees of gray. This is a function of SOFTWARE, not hardware. RMA will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for this.
I understand there are different gradients, this is different, what I'm seeing is lines gradient or not but they are obvious even when not using the screen test app, they are visible everywhere at anytime doesn't matter what background or wallpaper I'm using. There are vertical lines also that look like they are baked into the screen.
Well then send it for an RMA? i dont see what your purpose of this post was, to ask if its normal to have baked in horizontal lines? its not.
i dont see any lines on my display, so i would sent it back for a replacement. i guess i was one of the lucky few with a device with no issues, the only issue i found was that i did not get any lollipop with the device, see here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/missing-lollipop-nexus-6-t3046877

Hey man thanks for your reply, my question is really aiming at anyone else with the same issue. I didn't think it was right, I guess I was just hoping that it would resolve itself somehow but obviously not. As for lollipop, yeah my device came with it, why what did you get on yours, KitKat???

I definitely cant see anything on the screenshot. As for the camera photos, its tricky because they are a little pixelated, probably due to the contrast.

I think it might be a good idea to go to an optometrist to make sure that the lines aren't caused by your eyes.
Your going to have these vertical lines had them on all amoled screens. But if your seeing them on say like your home screen and other places I'd get a replacement. But if you only see them say with just a white or gray screen I wouldn't worry about it. If you want you can try this app out on Google play... Amoled burn in fixer.. Good day
Thanks for your comments guys, I believe I do have an issue with my display therefore will proceed with a DOA replacement. Cheers

I would like to know how can i check the screen of my new phone for dead pixel, patches etc.
I have already tried *#0*# method, but i want to check with light colors.
Some apps are there in market, but i dont think they support HD resolution.
Next, i can see horizontal lines across screen whenever i use the live wallpaper "Windy weather", its the one with windmills. The lines are especially visible during daytime in the wallpaper... so is it just a problem due to lower resolution of the wallpaper?
I havent seen any other color problem yet, except the above.
Look long and hard enough and you will find something that bothers you.
I'd say just enjoy the device.

hi there.
i want to ask about O4X HD lcd screen. Is it normal that we can see a very2 thin horizontal line (maybe white or black) that is barely visible to our eyes? it is not a big problem for me,but just want to clarify with other users here. Maybe LG's true hd ips screen like that?
sorry for my bad english.
Thank you.
I've got the same thing. None of the reviews I've read online have mentioned it. Maybe our eyes are too sharp. I only notice it 20% of the time, so I don't mind so much.

Set your brightness at maximum and go to a white background, like the one from the settings menu. You should be able to see many small horizontal lines. But you only notice those when looking closely and carefully.

AMOLED Burn-in Fix
Hey Guys,
I wrote a quick app to fix the burnin for AMOLED screens.
"Burn-in" is caused by an uneven wear on the screen and can only be reversed when the uneven portions are worn like the rest of the screen.
By using this app you are guaranteed to wear only the status bar and/or navigation bar so the effects of burn-in should be reduced.
Its pretty simple for now, I may add a timer in the future if anyone is interested.
Playstore link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinyroar.amoledburninfix
Thanks,
Change Log
v2
- Added a fun new look
- Added a burn-in tester (to check for burn-in)
- Automatically go to app once checking invert colors

You can, but this app was specifically designed to only have the status bar and navigation bar lit while active.

Erm, you can just use an app that full screen flashes to solve the issue.

Good job man. Don't let those who come off as ungrateful keep you from creating things like this.
No need to have your entire screen inverted or flashing when you can simply target the two problem areas..

When you invert the color you should be brought back to the app. From there simply click hide settings and your nav/status bar should be inverted
1) I appreciate BlackDino's work. I had this unevenly aged burn-in on my statusbar & navbar.
2) I now know why Samsung ALWAYS puts a gray tint on their statusbar, so phone's screen is more evenly used/lit
3) what's with attacking the developer? I'm a little bit disappointed by XDA's lack of action to mediate the attack on developers. This app poses zero threat. Developers like BlackDino should be celebrated for her/is well intention for the community.
4) Thanks for the app, BlackDino!
And I think some people get too worked up, just call this issue uneven tan-lines issue .
Thanks for this app
Thanks for the application.
In the future, a scheduler would be perfect.
Great app. Have a reminder to use this. Any auto run for X minutes would be a cool add as well

Per day maybe 1-2 minutes.
I'd check the tester every time you finish to see what the damage is like.
If the damage is pretty bad I'd do one longer than the other ones to try and balance out the wear

With amoled there really isn't any sort of perversion, since its all about which parts of the screen have been worn.
Check the tester to see if there any signs of burn-in, if not then you should be good for now

It would be much easier to spot any problem with your display with a uniform dark background. The current black background with non uniform white patches is a bad choice.

I think your mistaken in thinking his wallpaper has the gradient actually in the image, it does not. It happens with any black wallpaper !
This has been happening as long as I can remember on my Sammy devices... It does not effect live wallpapers therefore you set your wallpaper with a live wallpaper app that lets you choose your own image.

Wait.
Are they talking about the gradient looking thing at the top of the screen? That's normal for the statusbar to do that. There's an app called L Speed (for rooted devices) that lets you disable it since it's a RAM flag that creates that effect.
If it was screen burn-in, we wouldn't be able to see it in a screenshot, lol (which they do, but because it's software related, baked into the phone's settings).
Hi i have an note 8 SM-N950U ( T-Mobile ) and the icons on the top are small, and the bottom part is like pushed, it feels kinda small and weird, i hope the images are clear
