So can anyone confirm that the striations or lines on the screen are normal??
Im talking about when you pull down the notifications bar there are light lines that come down vertically and soma cases are horizontal.
Please let me know I got 30 days with it. thanks!

my first nexus s had darker whites than the display model at the store. I would recommend comparing yours with the store display or another persons nexus s, I think this is the best way, since we cant physically see how your phone screen looks. good luck
Are you referring to the gray section where your service provider is listed? Or the very dark area where the notifications are listed?
If I stare I can see some lines in the gray area.
I do see a slight grid pattern in the power control widget.
No I'm talking about grey section where your messages show up

I don't have a Nexus S, but I have a Galaxy S i9000M which has a similar (if not exactly the same) screen. If I bring up a screen that is a solid colour, I do notice some imperfections like you describe. They are hardly noticeable though.
Weird. My nexus doesn't have that and I would know, I modded my nexus 1 to be pretty much like gingerbread 6 months back, massive burn in.

actually no.... mine doesn't have any lines or defects.
the only lines are the horizontal ones separating the notifications.
I think I know what you mean. My N1 on certain backgrounds has very faint grey lines. Not always visible, even on white web pages

Why would that cause burn in more than anything else?
I don't know but I don't want it to get worse over time

Yes, I can see it. I can see it on any AMOLED/SAMOLED phone I've ever come in contact with. It's the nature of AMOLED screens unlike most LCD screens. With AMOLED, each pixel is individually powered, and it's impossible to have each pixel (or subpixel) be identical, which leads to slight differences in output and color reproduction. An LCD screen is backlight by either florescent tubes or recently, LEDs, which produce an even backlight (usually) where the colors are controlled by filtering each pixel, rather than having to illuminate each pixel.
Anyway, I only really notice it when the brightness is at the minimum and it's very dark in the place I'm using my phone. If I crank up the brightness or if I'm in a well lit area, I don't notice it at all really. Although if it's VERY obvious, you might have a screen that's significantly lower quality than average... it happens, bad QC or something, exchange it.
Oh, and if you stare at a plasma TV long enough you'll notice the same thing... similar technology, each pixel illuminated individually.
My first 6p had a white screen but the right side of the screen was slightly yellow.
My replacement I received has a slight pinkish tinge to the screen. It's not that bad.
I've seen some pictures where the pink is severe. But mine is a slight pink.
Is this considered okay? Or is it a defective screen?
Honestly, it's not a cheap purchase, so I would RMA it if there's a pink hue. I personally cannot stand if my display has a weird tint to it. After all, that's what you're staring at for hours a day. You can also try messing with your color profiles a bit to see if that helps.
No, it's a defect.

RMA
With what this device costs is send it back too.
There is a thread already for this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3235093

Please join the discussion thread linked above. I will close this one.
when I look at my Nexus 6P directly it is white, but when tilting it has a blue tint.
Is this common in AMOLED displays or is it a defect.
Normal.
Yes that is normal. But if you had said it was blue directly looking at it and turned white at an angle, then it would be a defect.

It is very noticeable in white pages tilting it a little causes faint blue.
Compared the device to a nexus 6 mine has little blue when tilting a little like 10-15 degrees the nexus 6 doesn't why?
Very little viewing angle change turns whites into light blue
I have a nexus 6p and it drives me crazy with its color shifting, for a very little viewing angle change it turns all whites into blue and the more i turn it it goes into a rainbow effect. According to the people of internet an amoled panel should have great, nevertheless better viewing angles than a lcd panel. Well i have to say thats not the case now, i have a oneplusone to compare the two to eachother and the oneplusone has basicly no change of whites other than it gets a little bit darker but it does not rainbows out whatsoever. But on the other hand the nexus 6p for the smallest change from straight can change its white color. Very annoying.
Is there any solution for that, or it is what it is, and take it or leave it?
Anybody might has a solution for that?
It is what it is: third one arrived today and still not the best whites but it is the better of the three. The build date on mine is 11/3.

Honestly it doesn't bother me because I always look at directly. If you really want to go postal, tilt it almost at 180 degree then you'll start to see rainbows. What bugs me is that even on direct facing, mine doesn't have even whites. Bottom is more green and top is more pink. But that's another topic on this forum.
It shouldn't be normal. Viewing angles are supposed to improve as tech improves. You wouldn't accept viewing angles like this from an oled tv.
My Samsung galaxy s3 had amoled screen and didn't suffer from this. And that was when amoled tech was way behind what it should be now.
Is this really normal for all 6P users? I think my phone didn't have that blue tint until I accidentally turned on "Picture Mode: RGB" under developer options. Now it doesn't matter if I turn it off or on again. The blue tint is seen each time I don't look straight at the phone. I even did a hard reset just to be sure. Did that accident really break the viewing angle or is it just my imagination?
My older Nexus 5 doesn't have that issue. The blue tint isn't seen when looking from all angles.
Apparently that's normal for Amoled screens.

I've gone through a few Nexus 6P devices and all have been very similar and all of them have this issue. I would agree that all AMOLEDs have a similar issue however the Nexus 6P has a very narrow band of vertical visibility. I am either very susceptible to this and/or I use my phone at a slight enough angle and it drives me nuts.
I'm coming from a Nexus 6 that I didn't have the same issue with. Sure, if you angle it at extreme angles it gets weird, but I'm okay with that.
I just got the new gold variant and it does this.. Been trying to get used to it but it's driving me insane. anytime I type or move the phone around when pressing things all the whites turn a blue tint..
Hello, I just bought this phone, and I noticed some horizontal lines and dots on display. It is visible on direct sunlight even if is screen turned off. It not noticeable a lot but i can see it. So I just wanted to ask if that normal or I'm again got phone with defect screen. Because previously i have S7 and Edge Plus with some screen issue...
It is like that on the most phones. Nothing to worry about.

It's like that on most phones, just the screen tech

So, do you have any lines on your phone?
Can someone please tell me if he has or not these lines visible on his phone?
Yes, in my case I see horizontal lines if I set low brightness in a place with some light, or with a light directly pointing at the screen. In my nexus 5 the lines were more noticeable. Nothing to worry.

Just one more question, can you see a tiny horizontal lines when you indoor, on white or gray background on display? You need to look closely to see them...
Just as it says. I think its settings on phones needing to be changed. Post here if you get one with the red hue.
Perfectly white here
Mine has the pinkish screen. Can't do a screen shot now because it's transferring my data from me s7 edge.

Now if they just tell you what to use to re-calibrate the screen we should be fine. I have pinkish and a bluish/green on the edges.
Get mine tonight. Are you all that have pink eye from a specific Carrier???
I'm kind of hoping I have a slight red or warm display. Your eyes adjust quickly to it and it's much easier on your eyes at night.

Mines and my wife are fine no red tint.

Mine isn't. Is pink when you look from lower than strength angel. It's pretty nasty.
In settings / Display/ Screen Mode - Adaptive Display is default setting. My screen is white as long as that is enabled. If I go to one of the other settings then I get the red tint.
The color calibration only works in Adaptive Display. In the other settings you can't click it, it's grayed out.
I'm fine in adaptive display so it's not a issue for me but it still doesn't explain why it's there in the first place.
Edit: Go to your brightness and put it all the way up and then back down...Seems like it took it away somewhat. Maybe it might be my eyes lying to me I dunno.
I have red tint. Restarted phone and most went away not it's just on the edges.

Is the red screen seen when using WQHD or FHD?
