I love the new Nexus 7 screen but I'm curious if you guys can still see pixels if looking closely...specifically at the keyboard buttons....its not a big deal I'm just curious as I heard some reviewers say that you can't see any on the 1080p screen
sure can if you want to go blind from the brightness of the screen. better off trying to find pixels looking at the sun
Considering that there are 2,304,000 pixels in the screen (that's quite a few in such a small display), just look at the number and call it good! :good:
Or consider that this tablet has a higher resolution than most tv's..
Can u count them for me please? ... I want be sure you got all pixels.

Just got a nexus s 4g yesterday. Like it so far. Bit when I woke up this morning the screen looked like it was a much lower resolution. Looks like little dots on every line etc.
Grabbed my wife's evo and her icons look much smoother as I can not see this on hers at all.
Anyone else see anything similiar? It kind of looks like stipulation if that makes any sense (using colored dots to make a picture).
Any comments ate appreciated.

If you look very close at the screen it looks pixilated but from a decent distance it should look great, I had an evo before the nexus and IMO the nexus screen is worlds better than the evo.

That's how amoled screens are. Read up a little on the difference between LCD and amoled and you'll see that the amoled has less pixels, making it less clear than LCD.

I am new to this type of screen so just wanted to make sure my phone was OK. Thanks for the input guys and if you have any links to send please do.
P.s. I read the previous AOMLED screens were worse due to sub pixel layout.

Ours does use the worse pentile matrix sub pixel layout. Its the newer SAMOLED Plus that doesn't.

I have some dead pixels on my Nexus 7. I purchased it from Sam's Club and am embarrassed to exchange it over a couple dead pixels. The pixels aren't noticeable unless they are on a white screen.
Does anyone else have any dead pixels?
Does anyone know how to fix them?
UPDATE:
If you're experiencing dead pixels return the Nexus. I've just started experiencing some bad screen flicker. The second I get back from vacation I'm returning it.

I suspect with the gorilla glass, it would be difficult if not impossible to fix. Usually they can be fixed if you apply some direct pressure on the screen, but with the glass, I don't see how that's possible. I would just replace it, dead pixels bug my OCD!
I too would return it. In the one case where I did get a dead pixel on an LCD monitor on my desktop, I wasn't able to fix it, even with all of the applications out there that flash each pixel a hundred times a second or whatever... I've just dealt with it since I bought the monitor second hand dirt cheap. In the event of the tablet I'd likely opt to replace it.

Does the N7 even have Gorilla Glass?
I too purchased a Nexus 7 today (just happened to be from Sam's Club as well) and I have a single dead pixel (it's more grey than black though) in the bottom-middle part. It's only noticeable on white or grey backgrounds. I've been running various "dead pixel" transition screens found on YouTube for about 10 minutes so far to no avail. I haven't decided what I'm going to do as to returning it or not.
Dead pixels are a defect. You should have no qualms about returning it. The store will have no problems taking it back, believe me.
Especially if it came from Sam's since they probably have more units... at least my local Sam's Club does. No reason to settle for dead pixels if it bothers you.

No. It has Corning glass with a scratch resistant coating.

No dead pixels on mine but I'm rather unimpressed by the display on this thing. Its a noticeably worse than the new iPad. Not by a little, by a lot. Text in Books isn't that clear when compared to your average Galaxy S III-

I have four stuck pixels that light up blue when the screen is black. I'll probably be keeping it nevertheless as it doesn't have any other problems and the pixels aren't quite visible unless the screen is black.
Don't be embarrassed, you paid good money for this product and its not right. Take it back.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Agreed, they should be used to dead pixels, they sell TVs!
In addition to the dead pixel, I've noticed some random flashing in the middle of the screen. I'm not able to do anything in particular to reproduce it, but it's just very infrequent and random. It's only happened twice in the last 4 hours since unboxing it. Needless to say, I'll be returning for replacement tomorrow.

Well the Nexus is barely half the price of the new ipad. And the Galaxy SIII also costs more then twice as much if you don't buy it from a carrier. (or whatever it's called in the USA or Canada) So that's probably the reason the display isn't as good as those 2.

I couldn't find a single dead pixel in my GNX7 so far. It's pretty flawless, with no bezel separation / raised display, leakage and flickering of any kind.
I was lucky.

I have had my Nexus 7 for around 3 weeks, it was perfect, I was so happy with it and I had no problems with the screen lift/bleed like many other people. I knew it was risky to buy the first batch after all of the problems reported on these forums, but now my Nexus 7 has the blue and red stuck pixels that are only visible on a black background with the brightness turned up, I can also see them when I boot the tablet. I have added pictures below, although it makes it look like the screen is bleeding, it is not, it is just the way the photo was taken. I bought it from Tesco Direct so I have a week left to return it, should I or is it risky because I could get a device with even more faults?
Thanks
From those photos it looks like there is no problem at all. Where are we supposed to be looking? Are they in the middle of the screen?
The judgement call is yours. Can you live with the fault? If you can't take it back. The chances of repeatedly getting a dud are slim.

Yes. It is the purple streak, sorry for being unclear, this is my first post on this forum, I guess I should have circled it in red.
You could try one of the many dead pixel apps from google play

Oh my, finally an Android tablet that doesnt feel like a downgrade from an Android mobile phone.
Nice lcd screen, nice weight balance, nice keyboard and most of all so smooth, exactly like the Note 2 I had before.
I'm not a big fan of Touchwiz but on this tablet it actually seems to make more sense than in a phone.
I've wasted a lot of money on Android tablets, hope this one lasts me for a while lol!

In portrait mode top left on about 4-5cm and top right side 2-3cm. Shop wouldn't replace it... It's true that in normal use you don't see it, only with dark movies. My Tab2 was as bad or worse but on the 10.1 screen it wasn't so bothersome.
If it bothers me I will try to send it in under warranty.

I dont know I'm living with it for now. Fact is that when you flex the tablet the whole screen goes black or white so probably there is something with how these tablets are built. Also if I press at the spot the light bleed disappears...

Welcome to the club! While I was very happy with mine out of the box I'm getting a lot of pleasure out of tweeking the performance and trying out different apps to take advantage of the stylus (in between playing a shed load of games that wouldnt run on my old tablet).
There is no need to open a new thread because you bought the tablet. Imagine everyone who buys Galaxy Note 8.0 to open a new thread.
Thread closed.
I got mine today from Amazon uk and I must say that I am a bit disappointed from the screen. I watched many reviews and all of them were talking for one of the best displays out there. Well they probably haven't seen Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 super amoled + magic. I will post a video later on with both devices playing a trailer from imdb.
Don't get wrong here. I love it but it just can't display black. Period.

I couldn't agree with you more. The Galaxy tab was retailing at 700 us while the nexus a fraction of that. However the amoled display on my "old" Sammy tab 7.7 is out of this world. The black and the color reproduction are just stunning. I was used to that display and the gnex looks to me a bit washed out. Other than that is is really great.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk 2
I suppose he is talking about the colours?
They are a little bit washed out and the white is a bit yellow when compared to my nexus 4 that has francos gamma settings applied.
However, when gamma controls are ported to the Nexus 7 the screen will look great with some tweaking. :thumbup:
Guys you do realise this screen is one of the few ones actually calibrated in the factory at two different stages and that the colours are accurate. What you see in the unfortunate Samsung models etc is a screen just with ridiculously saturated unrealistic colours. You guys need to train your eyes to see real quality...
