Problems with the panel itself aren't going to show up in a screenshot...
Lots of people notice/complain about these spots though, ever since the phone came out. Its just part of the inconsistency of manufacturing AMOLED screens. Some panels are worse than others. If it bothers you enough, ask for a warranty replacement.
the worse part of this phone..wtf!!

is this a common issue among the nexus? is it serious?
I cannot see what you mean, but I never understood why people complain about the screen of their gnex. Either I have a screen from a good batch, or I'm just not noticing what others refer to.

Common on any phone with an AMOLED screen. There are inconsistencies like banding, ghosting, blotchiness, etc.. Is it serious? Depends how picky you are.
It's common...
Mine looks like a severe case of chicken pox. Also have a terrible yellow screen, but ever since I installed a screen protector it seems to have fixed some of the coloring.

I think this is a question many of us have after the SGSII overseas problem.
Well for those of you that have it, and those getting it soon, how's your screen? Notice any bluish/yellowish tint?
I plan on getting one tomorrow, but this is the one possible problem that im worried about.

I've had 2 AMOLED screens so far, Moment and NS4G... I think we need to be honest here. This is not a reference screen. The colors and saturation levels and black point are all tweaked to death...and that will look sugary sweet and awesome for nearly everything. It's a phone not a production studio monitor. But, white's not being perfectly white is something that shouldn't be unexpected...and I would be shocked if you'd ever notice it ever again (without some boring TFT to compared it directly next to....and the TFT would look washed out and purple/blueish/yellowish)......
I mean, failures happen...if your screen looks like complete **** do something about it, but, compared to your typical ****ty LCD or your above-average professional grade reference monitor it will no match up at all... it's sweetened up to look good...color bias will happen and should be expected in comparison to just about anything.
Don't except a turd but don't drive yourself crazy looking for perfection--it doesn't exist and it isn't the point either.
I'm no perfectionist. Just check out the screen issue thread over in the SGS2 forum. Hey had multiple issues like yellowish tint on one side but not the other, bluish tint, lines, etc. Just curious if this will be as bad here as it was there

JUST DID FULL BRIGHTNESS ON BROWSER. on main google page, the page is as white as it gets, no tint what so ever. I am very happy with the screen.
I kinda love this setting, open up browser, click setting and you can set browser brightness.
No tint issues, don't feel any difference between epic vs epic touch...

Hey everyone!
I've recently purchased a GNex from Google play and it had a yellow tinted screen to I called in for a replacement and on this one it has the black spots on an all black screen. I kinda don't wanna call in for another exchange but would if necessary. What I want to know is if the black spots will cause any future problems since I can live with only seeing them in dark rooms.

I see them too.. so does my other galaxy nexus... chances are your replacement will have them too, the only time i see them is on a completely black screen in a pitch black room. It doesnt bother me any other time. Although it would be bad if you had like an entire row.. how many exactly I only see like 4-6 on mine and on both they have them in nearly identical places.

Yes that's what I'm experiencing, I only see them in a pitch black room. I have probably about 10 small spots scattered around the screen. Do you happen to know if this would cause any future problems? Thanks for the reply

Has anyone recently gotten a new Nexus without the problems with the screen such as the purple tint, banding, inaccurate colors and grainy whites? I just got an S3 and the screen is definitely better than that of my old Nexus but I'm thinking of going back to the Nexus but I prefer the phone with a better screen lol.

My replacement phone from January is perfect. I am aware thats the luck of the draw though, considering my wife's phone is definitely NOT perfect.
My replacement Nexus (2 weeks old) is perfect. I can't believe I went that long with a bad nexus.

So basically the screens they are using in the recent Nexus phones are better? No purple tint? Banding? Grainy whites on low brightness?

Apparently if you get one with a serial number of C5 or higher there is a very good chance you will get one with a goof screen.

I just got mine yesterday and I have mad ghosting (usually from the keyboard). I was at the at&t store yesterday and the screen in the display GS3 looked nicer. I don't have any banding issues. The color temperature is closer to that of my Lumia 800 (slightly yellow whites, very vibrant blues) than my finally retired Nexus One (first gen AMOLED, very high K whites, almost blue, washed out reds).
Where can I check the serial number?

Hard to draw a conclusion
We have 4 Gnexes, and two of them have gone back to Samsung for new screens, so I guess we've had 6 screens all told. I don't think I can draw a conclusion based on build date...
My son has the oldest of the 4, and his screen is nice.
Mine is the next oldest, and the screen was good from day-1, and the newly installed (dropped it) screen is really good.
My daughter's is 2nd newest, and her screen is OK, but not as good as mine. Hers got a new screen before my wife got her phone, and that one is OK, too.
My wife's phone is the newest (march or April?) (with the exception of my replaced screen), and has looked dreadful the whole time, but she doesn't seem to mind it.
My phone is 3 weeks old now. I have no 'grainy' things going on. I do have banding with the color 'grey'. I tested it with the app called 'LCD TEST' free from Google Play. I tested every color and I only got banding with the color 'grey'. The rest looks ridicilously good!
I do have to say that my Old Omnia II with an Amoled screen was good. I could see the pixels easily. (3.7", 800x480)
I can also see the pixels on my Galaxy NEXUS with ease. But these pixels are way smaller but still noticeable. Because of that the screen does not look as sharp as I thought it'd be. But still it looks WAY better than my Omnia II's Amoled screen. Also blows the Galaxy S' screen away (which I've compared my Galaxy NEXUS to)
So it seems the screens issues are really just a hit and miss. I wish they would use the same screen tech they use in the S3 :/ I'm missing jelly bean but I don't want to go from a better screen to one with problems ...decisions decisions lol

I received my Nexus on July 6th from the playstore. The screen looks fantastic to me. Blacks are black, as for whites I'm not sure what grainy is really supposed to mean. I don't think there's any graininess.
So i just bought a used galaxy nexus and have been using for a little while and i keep noticing that it looks the stock arrangement of apps on the home screen are liked burned into the screen. Like i can see them everywhere i can go and more depending on what color the screen is at. Its not software because i booted into CWM and i could seem them. Is this a defect? Or just the nature of the phone? I have tried to take some pictures but they didn't turn out to great......
Here is a link to the high quality version of the picture https://www.box.com/s/bv84z7gu0dsltgzorevi
Normal good sir.
Pretty much any used Galaxy Nexus will have some burn-in, as the display is AMOLED. Happens with all of our Galaxy Nexuses, I guess we kind of just accept it though. lol
The way the Nav Bar sits, we all will probably have it burned in sooner or later, many already have it...
Just as well, look at a black background with the display on and you'll see blotches on the screen, also normal. There's actually a sticky here about what's normal and what's not.

Hello, I have been having the same issue with my screen on my Galaxy SIII since I bought my first one last february, what is causing it and what is it?
Pictures below, it has just started to develop on this my 4th SIII that of which was a BNIB not one of those replacement ones which my last two replacements were.
Photos below..
The circles start out hardly visible and progress getting darker eventually I have a row of up to 5.

I don't see anything I wouldn't expect to see.
Edit: I see them now. It's like one of those pictures you have to stare at to see the image.
I see them, and yeah that would be pretty annoying. Are you using a particular background, or playing a certain game for an extended amount of time that could be causing those to "burn" into the display? Anything along that line of thought?
Is that only noticeable on light background colors or does it get darker with a darker background color?
------------------------------------
If it was easy you'd of hired the guy at Home Depot to to it.
It's definitely a game or something causing this. Or background as the above user mentioned. Only issue that's common throughout all of the s3 devices are the ink blots. That circling is really strange. I'm putting my money on it being caused by some sort of burn in from the same image being displayed for too long.

I don't see anything, even if there were something minor you returned 4 galaxy siii because of that?
I once heard a story about a boy after returning five phones for the same issue that was so minor, his mother took him to a psychologist about his perfectionism disorder. (Nothing to do with you, just a funny story)

It only starts getting darker and darker and more noticeable. It starts only being noticeable on white to gray screens then on all screens.
I do not use or have any backgrounds or games which have that design.
Would you pay the same amount for an SIII if you saw defects on the screen?
I pay for the warranty so I will make sure my phone is in prestine condition if ever I decide to sell it.
