Screen defects

I recently purchased a n7 and upon opening the box I noticed the issues with the bevel on the glass. The screen seems to be operating properly so it seems to be mostly aesthetic, but I'm was curious if this defect with the glass was common and I should hold onto this otherwise fine device or if this is fair uncommon and I should take advantage of the return policy.

80+ views and not a single nexus 7 owner can confirm or deny the presence of defects on their personal devices. Thanks for the input guys.

Is this comment necessary? This isn't a very busy forum so sometimes it can take a while for questions to get answered.
That said, my N7 doesn't have this problem. I am the type of guy who will keep exchanging a device until I get one that's flawless. If I were in your situation that's exactly what I would do.

Maybe it's some refurbished model with changed screen or something, but it's definitely uncommon issue.

Hiding scratches/chips in the bezel

Back in the days of the iPhone 5 (I didn't have one, it's just for reference) many people complained about the black one scratching and chipping easily, and silver metal being visible underneath, there was a fix discovered. "Birchwood Casey Super Black Touch Up Pen". Since I chipped the bezel on my 360, you think this would work? If so, which pen would it be? Flat, Gloss, or Matt, I doubt it would be Matt. I'll leave pictures of the damage to my watch below.

I tripped and it hit the ground before my hand. I tried marker too, it came out almost a purpley colour. Gonna order that marker soon, hopefully it'll work.

Deleted.

Reaplaced screen, now its turning white.

Hey, so i replaced my screen the other day and it worked fine until today when it suddenly started turning white. When i turn the screen on my it looks completely fine, after about 5 seconds a white shadow starts to appear in the background and slowly starts to make certain parts of my screen white. I opened the phone again and looked at all the cables to see if something was loose, but did not see anything wrong. Do any of you know what could be wrong?

Before you replace the screen the phone was normal? It can be LCD itself, someone with more accurate knowledge can help you with this. Better luck!

Yeah, well the screen was shattered but not white. I put on a screen protector and maybe pressed to hard... :/? and suddenly there was some white lines that got worse and worse kind of similar to this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI64Bcf8OiE

Could this be saved?

The screen has cracked for a very long time but still functional. Just now, it fell once again and then a white-ish thin line appeared at the very right corner, but I ignored it as it does not disturbed me. Few hours later, I think i put a little pressure into this pressure (But I'm pretty sure i am not, because my the only thing i did was to put it inside of my jeans pocket) and poof! Half of the screen cannot be seen clearly (refer picture). But still could function as in I could still use the touch screen mode at the affected area. Could this lcd screen problem be saved without replacing the lcd with a new one? Replacing it is my last resort if I could save it DIY. Help me, thanks!

Yeah, sure, via a software update. That'll also give you wireless charging, but only if you charge the phone inside the microwave.
You've cracked the screen! What sort of DIY fix you assume can exist, besides replacing it?

tired of cheap ebay screens, what replacement screen do yall recommend?

OnePlus RMA. It isn't overly expensive.
From memory, it was around £90 for me.

HTC 10 Screen Defect?

What is happening to my phone!? I dont even know how to search for this. The LCD still works fine. Touch works fine. Its almost like something is separating internally causing a contrast difference in this odd, blotchy pattern among the pixels. A white screen shows the issue the best. Less back light makes it harder to detect. It was just slightly noticeable in the upper corner 24 hours ago.... now its 20 times worse! I got this phone from Verizon the day it came out. It is unlocked using Sunshine and running Viper10 and has been since I got it unlocked. Cant imagine that has anything to do with this though...
Has anyone else ever seen this or know what it is or what causes it??? I am at a loss here.

Wow, not one response in almost 2 weeks... Has no one ever seen this before on any device!?
As strange as this was, whats even stranger is that the phone has healed itself! The screen is now 100% back to normal. I have no ideas what happened, but ill take it!

That's awkward
