My screen doesnt sit flush with the edges of the phone and I am wondering if this is a common trait of the phone.
At the top left of the screen it actually does sit flush. If I run my finger across the screen to the left and off the edge, I can't feel any edge.
Anywhere else on the screen, when I slide my finger across the screen and off the edge I can feel the lip of the edge .
Its as if either the top left of my screen is sitting out more than it should, or the rest of my screen is a bit too far in.
Is your screen flush with the edges?
Mine's recessed all the way around.

I have a tiny lip around the whole edge of the phone.
I got a lip on the right hand side of the phone. And no lip going round from the right side edge

the left side of my screen is flush, the right side has a lip. It bothers me sometimes.
I don't think screen is gonna fall out. It seems fitted tightly
I got a little groove on the screen at the bottom so I could pop screen put then pop it back in.
Don't think ill bother tho just in case lol

Mine is the same way. I considered returning it but decided against, since it was pretty minor and didn't affect functionality.
i've a gap on the right but nothing on the left, the "doubled" lip at the top and bottom bothers me a bit more i think

Guys, look at the casing. The screens the same height all around (and this is on purpose for reasons such as setting it face down on a table), but the casing is different. On the sides vs bottom.

That wouldnt explain there being an edge sticking out on the right side of the phone but not on the left side

So I got my transformer Monday and its great, however there is one very minor issue. If the screen is black and you tilt the pad at an angle, you can see what looks to be some kind of smudge or adhesive on the LCD panel under the glass. Like I said, this is very minor and you really need to be looking for it to even see it. I bought the transformer from best buy. With all the other issues, ie speakers and dead pixels and what not, do you guys even think its worth taking back and trying to get a replacement?

Hmm, this post is very helpful.. lol Good thing its relevent to the thread.
I have never seen the smudge you are talking about, can you take a picture of it?
Heh, but seriously, if it were me yes I'd swap it for a new one, just knowing it's there would annoy me.
I ended up swapping it. No dead/glue spot but there is light leaking from the corners on the left side and also from about half way down the left side as well. It isn't in my main viewing area so its not a big deal, and my favorite background is white so I don't really notice it, but is QC really that bad on these that this many units have issues still to this day?

Light Bleed is a common issue with tablets. Google "ipad light bleed" and you will get some interesting posts.
Also, aren't IPS displays known for a little light bleed anyways? Something that we have to live with, I guess.
I can deal with light bleed alot easier than a dead spot on my screen. Its easy enough to fix with a white based wallpaper. And luckily my favorite wallpaper is white based.

I have been looking for a new way to keep fingerprints off of my screen. and I have heard rain x worked but I didn't have any, so I tried Meguiars ultimate quick wax. The result is amazing.!!! I can tell a huge difference in the amount of fingerprints on my screen. It also made my screen really smooth like an iPad.
I will take no responsibly if this messes up your tablet, this is purely what I did and it worked. Results may vary.
thanks

another good use for car wax is a quick fix for a scratched [email protected]/DVD. Gonna try this as my tab gunks up after just minutes of use. When playing air attack I put a bit of powder on my finger, lol.

You might want to see if the substance your using is nontoxic. I would hate to see a fellow iconia user fall ill to some chemicals in the wax

It hasn't harmed my screen in the few days that I have had it on my screen. That is also why I put the disclaimer there.

I'm pretty sure the concern is touching your screen then eating a sandwich or biting your nails or something that might cause you to ingest the wax.
Hand Sanitizer, and a good washing is the key. It really helps before you eat.

Hmm, that's pretty clever. I wonder if it would adversely affect a ghost armor screen protector.
Not only that, I wonder how it would fare on my phone with a steinheil screen protector. Rain-x is supposed to be tint safe.

My brand new pad has a pixel that won't show green...running one of the apps that says it fixes that... If it doesn't work, i'm going to see if I can get a replacement.
Just a warning to everyone. Be on the lookout.

I've got a dead pixel as well. Near the top left. Doesn't really bother me that much, so I don't really care. Surely one teeny little pixel doesn't warrant you returning it ...?

I used to think that. But if its been like, 3 Weeks and there's already one dead pixel... What does that say for the possibilities?
Just called Asus - he tried to get me to do a wipe.
Are you kidding me? wipe all my data? Asus - get rid of the spiel, its junk. Get ppl who know whats up on the phones ugh

My first pad had a dead pixel. I found it the second day and returned it as soon as I could. It was kind of in the middle of the screen, and I could see it every time I viewed a white web page. Needless to say, it bothered the heck out of me and had to be returned.
i went through 4 tabs until i got one that was fine display wise. first one had a cluster of discolored pixels, like someone pressed their thumb hard on the screen and damaged the area. the other two each had a couple grains of what looked like sand under the glass. All of these were around the same area on the tab, mid-lower left area of the screen.
Mines mid high right...
I'm worried about an attempted unlocking... I tried to unlock my tab before they fixed the c4okt issues, and im wondering if it might've sent them a file about that... Also wondering if unlocking will void it for a screen issue.

Dead and stuck pixels are far from unique to Asus. There is a difference by the way, a stuck pixel is one that is, well stuck displaying one color, these can sometimes be fixed by programs like you are running and/or gently massaging the area with a pencil eraser or something similar, dead pixels don't display any color and are rarely able to be fixed.

My dead pixel I guess just happens to be in a place where I rarely notice it. I tried one of those dead pixel detect and fix apps but it didn't fix anything.

There is one other thing you can try, VERY gently massage the dead pixel with a something like a pencil eraser, that will sometimes get it working.

That's fine and all... but there's a much thicker layer of glass over a capacitive screen than there is over a resistive touch screen... or just a LCD monitor.
Unless I'm missing something here, this advice does not apply anymore.

The screen will still flex. I am not sure whether it would work or not on these devices, I just put that out there hoping it might help.

Don't feel too bad. I just made the mistake of looking at an all black screen on my Acer a510.
NINE stuck pixels!
One little cluster made a shape exactly like the big dipper. Very artistic, with pretty multicolored stuck-pixel stars.
Needless to say I wasn't thrilled. So much for quality control. Sounds like Asus at least isn't this bad.
I got this tablet for Christmas. I was curious if a screen protector is truly needed since a tablet doesnt go through the same abuse as a phone.

I use screen protectors on all my devices. After applying the screen protector to my tf300t, I can tell no noticeable change in touch screen response.
Over time, no matter how much you try and baby the device, the screen will accumulate scratches. A screen protector is a good investment IMO.

for the price they are in englant £3 for 2 its a no brainer, put on well you will never notice its on , thats untill you scratch it , scratch the screen itself the scratch can not be removed remember we dont have gorrila glass
I don't use a screen protector. If I used a stylus frequently I might, but I almost exclusively use my finger. It's a lot easier not to realize there's some potentially damaging grit between a stylus and the screen. A lot less likely between your finger and the screen.
How long does a screen protector usually stay on?

They can last quite awhile. I've had them last on my phone for months.
Another thing as whether or not to use a screen protector, once you see the scratches starting to show up on the protector, you'll be glad that you applied one.

I have a very minor scratch on my tf300, happened only recently (after months of use). If I use a screen protector, will the scratch be more visible? (it is now only visible when the screen is off).

Have you ever turned the screen off and turned it so you can see light reflect off of it. I haven't seen a device yet that didn't accumulate fine scratches on the screen. Those fine scratches build up over a period of time and you will eventually start to notice them. Dust is gritty.
Also, for those once in a blue moon accidents, better to have one on than not. A screen protector is easy to replace. A glass screen is a whole different ball game.

there are also anti reflection protectors.
got one from amazon, it really reduced the reflections on my device therefore i would go for a protektor.

I have an OG samsung galaxy tab since the day of first sale which i guess is in the nighborhood of 2 or 3 years and i just windexed it, yes i use windex on the screen and always have, nor has it ever had a screen protector and it is mirror smooth with no visible scratch in any lighting angles. However this device doesnt have Gorilla Glass like that one so i may get a screeny.
