But the screen...
The left edge has this purple tint, and whenever I see black text on a while background, I see these... faint horizontal lines extending from the text?
Has anyone gone the repair route with Nokia, and if so, how did it go? It's either that or I send it back.

The lines are a side effect of the screen. If you mean a thin line on the left side of the screen, this is a effect of the screen as well.
Well that's disappointing. As for the left side, I mean an area that's tinted pirple. It goes about 3/4 of a centimeter from the left edge.

That's not normal. Some people have a full colored line with the width of maybe 1/10th of a mm on one side of the screen. But you should contact the Nokia Hotline, Chat or Mail Support with this problem. Could be a faulty screen...
I just sent it back. Nokia was quoting a 7-10 business day turnaround time.
I got that purple thing too in one of my Lumia's. It went like a gradient across the whole screen for me. Changed it and the one I have now doesn't suffer from it at all.
The line-bleeding you mention from text though, it's part of the technology I'm afraid.
Now you mention it, I have a 1 pixel purple line down the left hand side of the screen.

As stated above, the thin line is a side effect of the pentile display.

There's also a green one on the right side. It's a side effect of the pentile pixel arrangement.
On mine the purple gradient is only noticeable with low brightness on a grey/white background.
The screen is the only bad thing about the Lumia 800, even though it has its own advantages like the ClearBlack.

If this is a larger problem than my display and you hadn't noticed it before, I'm sorry, but does anyone else seem to have a white vertical line going down the left side of the screen, about 1/2 a cm from the left? Its pretty much invisible UNTIL you use something with a white/light background. I noticed on the Twitter app, and just want to find out if its just a general "thing" with the display or a fault just on mine, which I'll get replaced if thats the case.

Sounds like a faulty device, mines fine.
Mine had some weird lines over the screen that changed colour depending on what was being displayed, but they disappeared after a couple of days, when did you get the phone?

Yesterday afternoon. I'm going to give it till tomorrow afternoon to see what happens with it (Earliest I can get round to returning it anyway).
vertical white line
I have the same vertical white line, approximately 1.5cm from the left side of
the display. I have had my note for about 2 weeks now. The line is very thin and barely visible and I am not sure if it has been there from the beginning. It is only visible on white display(low brighness) and if you know where to look for it. My note is without the local warranty so all consequences have to be borne by me. Have you found if it is a defect or perhaps this is normal since it is barely visible?
i just bought my galaxy s2 today , but i noticed a strange circular spot on the lower right side of the screen, it is visible in gray or other dark background and is not affected by the brightness settings. should i get it replaced
Hard to be certain without a photo, but it sounds like a mark from the suction cup used to attach the screen - a few people have reported this, unfortunately. There are photos somewhere in the forum, can't seem to find them at the mo...
If so, yes - return it immediately.
i cant post a pic because im a new member, but thanks for the rep

sai4u - From another thread, suction mark in top right. Look like yours?
yes, i have the exact same problem
Shame. I'd return it, definitely.
Same issue, white circle in the lower right side of the screen, size of a coin, visible only on a grey background, just like the yellow left side issue. Doesn't bother me in real life usage, but still...
il get it replaced immediately, many thanks for the reply

I too have this same problem unfortunately, I asked for replacement but currently phones out of stock here, Waiting for new stock Impatiently.
Was it easy for u to get it replaced ?
my friend got it. hopefully she can get a new one.
Mine is not this prominent though, I dont see it on such dark backgrounds...God knows how many pieces have it, and the fate of replaced piece.
Could be a remnant from production process and oleophobic coating. Glass parts are mostly transported by suction cups and this might leave this "mark" ...........
i also have a light spot on my phone which appears on gray or slightly dark backgrounds. it's on the left side. it does not appear to be the same thing as the one on previous pictures. it's as small as a dot which can be made by a marker.

Maybe you are talking about the white spot in default internet browser. It is located in the left lower corner. It is normal and it's there for hardware acceleration. Check to see if you have dead pixels, if the white spot only appears in default browser than your phone is ok.
mine appears all the time (provided that the background colors are gray and of the same shade). also, the spot is on the top-middle portion (portrait mode) of the phone. example, it reading SMS conversations, background is gray right? i can see the light spot there. i would post a picture but i'm still new to the forum.
Hi.
Mine have that exact circle too =/ .
So, you say it is not burn in ? i was thinking maybe that was because the weather widget sun.
Since im out of warranty i m thinking in open and cleaning it, what do you think ? would be that possible ?

It would be possible for sure, but would be also a big mistake.
It's a hardware issue, not a dust one.

The photo below is an image of my phone displaying a light grey image in a dark room. The yellow tinted gradient on the left hand side is very apparent, but that is not what bothers me so much. If you carefully notice the area demarcated inside the red box, you will notice a horizontal band that is of a slightly darker grey. Is this a burn in? I have only had this handset for a couple of days, so I can't see how I'm already being affected by this phenomenon. One can also see how uneven the display is, overall.
Damn I saw your other post, seems like you were the unlucky guy who got the screwed up handset in the batch. Mine had a really faint tint on the left side which has now disappeared
Just go and exchange it. You will be much happier!
haha. ya, seems like I got the lemon of all lemons. Lets hope the replacement is ok.
I have a lg g2 out of the box faint white lines all over the screen, and i'm wondering is it normal or not ? I read a little today that there a 2 kind of screens out there. One screen is ok and the other has these white lines on it. I'm not sure if this is a defect or not. Some say these white faint lines are actually the digitizer visible on screen befause of the fabrication process. Other say that its kind of a defect and should return the product . My question is what is the truth ? is this a defect ? can it get even bad than faint lines in time ? or they will remain just faint lines ? Its not a deal breaker for me just yet , but if someone tells me that this will get bad bad I will return the phone . So please I need some imput
Do you mean those little Squares that make the screen look like a solar cell?
no , white vertical lines from top to buttom all over the screen , mostly visible on a white backround and open colours , they are all over the screen like a pattern , vertical , from top to buttom , very very faint , I can barely see them but they're there
nope,not normal. Faulty display. Send it to warranty. It will be replaced
Mhm. I do not have any of them... I would send it back for return... But maybe it's not bad at all.
Cause I read there a 2 types of panels lgd and jdi , one doesn't have these faint small barely visible vertical lines and the other does mand lg doesn't consider this a defect , that's why i'm so confused ), I've driven 2 a show center and played with one that's on display and I saw the lines also ...diffent store ) weird
Return, Now!
If u have a grid pattern that's normal. If u have two white lines u have a refurbished phone with wrong panel.
Have the same problem. Ordered the phone 2 weeks ago and since the beginning it has a small whitish smudge/spot on the left side of the notification area and 2 irregular parallel lines mid screen, under the first smudge. Visible most of all on a grey screen.
I didnt notice them at first, but in the right lighting at the right angle I can see white vertical lines.
As this is about .01% of the time, I'd say its normal. If you can see them more, send the phone back.
not normal for sure.I got mine replaced for the same problem..
I received my X F5121 two days ago, and as soon as I turned it on, I could notice a white horizontal spot a bit up from the centre of the display. You can notice it more when on a white blank page and with brightness a bit up.
I also found (more on white pages) that pushing the back cover of the phone would affect the screen with distorted colors and looks like (in my opinion) the glass is not properly installed on the device.
Am I the only one with this problems?
Let me know what you think...
This is from diagnostics.

Is it like a white patch whether its a white screen, or a light color like beige background, like something is being pushed against a lcd screen, or a light bleed.
I had something like that, not sure if it was when I purchased the phone, but I only noticed it after a few months of using it, I took it a xperia service center and had the whole screen, including the phones outer frame body changed, not sure if the center was too lazy to change just the screen, but im happy with it now.
You should get sony to sort it out, or if you still have a return period for exchange/refund.
