Is it normal for the screen to rainbow with pressure (force)?
I noticed a slight rainbow on the right edge of the screen when I put pressure (not light, I would say medium pressure).
I noticed when applying a screen protector and pushing bubbles out with my thumb with pressure.
Is this normal or a defect?

For a PC Monitor it is normal, but that is a solid Smartphone with Gorilla Glass.
I don't think that it's normal.
Depending on how high the pressure really is.
Do you have this effect only on one side (right) or on all sides?
You should check all sides with normal pressure,if the display springs back and for on one side.
That can be an indication that the display on this spot is loose.
If that is the case, you should talk with your distributor.
On my m8 the Display was loose on the left side.
I've checked it on my One X and on my One m7 and I don't have this effect.

If you're getting a rainbow, its not seated right which will cause durability issues. Exchange it.

It's not a rainbow, it's a grey colour that only happens with a good amount of pressure on the right side edge of my screen. Again, only with pressure and not in actual usage of phone. Does this warrant exchange?

Not only that the Screen was loosed on the left side.
On Day 10, the Display died, black Screen without backlight.
Now it's on the way back to the distributor for a replacement.
You should contact the dealer for a replacement as well.

Then it is ok.
When the display is seated firmly,there is no reason to be concerned.

This isn't a resistive screen, its capacitive. It should take a good deal of pressure to cause any discoloration or banding on these types of screens. When yours breaks, I don't want to see you post about it or I'll make sure to refer you to this post.

Anyway i cannot replicate it anywhere on my screen as its solid. OP should exchange as this is not normal
Mine is also the same as op but those T-Mobile dicks refused to exchange it since the display model did the same. I guess it's not too big of a deal doesn't show up unless I press with my fingernail with medium pressure. Normal touches doesn't do anything. Plus there's a 1 year warranty if it'll break hopefully it's within this period

Mines like that too. I thought it was normal. I was worried about crud getting in the crack but its been fine and doesn't affect anything on the phone.

I believe that these small gaps are by design, seriously. Think about the dispersion of shock when the device hits the ground. If it was perfectly flush with the
metal it would be way more likely to crack instantly..with the gap some energy escapes giving the glass a small but crucial release of pressure.

It isn't about the quality, the screen is curved in the edges so it becomes extremely weak there, one unlucky corner drop that avoids the plastic bezel and hits the screen and welcome cracks.
Now i dropped mine many times and found that the phone drops on it's back most of the time and survives, but i almost broke it when it dropped on the side, luckily it hit the bezel and there was no damage, not even a scratch/bend.
So yep.. luck.

Just saying, I would hope on the second time around ASUS would have figured this out. With my first gen N7 I had to take it apart and jam a qtip in it to help with the screen lift issue but this model doesn't look like it comes apart as easily. Fingers crossed it doesn't get any worse or its going back. Never had any problems like this with any of my other tablets.

Asus, you suck.
Mine used to be good, it now creaks very audibly when pressed on the top left area.
Maybe the glue dried out lol?
Sucks that I had this same issue on my 2012 nexus 7.

I'm having a problem with my M8. The digitizer registers touches when my finger is quite close to the screen (1mm) but I haven't actually touched it. It's not a massive problem as it's just 1mm but it makes the user experience quite strange. Sometimes I press something on the screen but two touches are registered (one when I approach the screen, another when I actually touch it). Or sometimes I'm going to press a button and the action happens before I actually touch the screen, leaving me thinking "WTF just happened?"
It's something similar to this but of course a lot less serious:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTfyPCjDaio#t=113
Can any other M8 owners check if this happens with their phone? Thanks in advance!
Yep, you can control the screen from 1mm above it. Makes it very stressfull trying to type at times lol

Yeap.
Sorry for digging this up. But I've just bought M8 last week. And I found this problem too. I struggle to type correctly. Is there anyway to fix this?
Yeah this is very annoying when I'm holding with my fingers just to the edge of the screen but its registering touches
