Hi there,
I just got my touchpad 16gb and on boot (dark) my screen looks like this:
Is this normal on touchpad or should I send it back.
Thanks for your opinions!

It's an IPS display pannel screen, which are known for being super bright and having light bleed on blacks. However, they also have the best color gamut (range) and quality. Apple uses them for all of their displays (including the ipad). You could turn down the brightness a bit if it bothers you.
Mine had the same issue

What do you mean by had? Did you send it in for repairs or did you cope?
Thanks.

If I were you I'd definitely send it back while you still can and claim one of the 100,000 - 200,000 HP is going to produce next month. Mine has a slight cloudyness / gohsting effect like yours but is barely noticeable even on max brightness on a black screen. These Touchpads have been know to have screen defects due to improper installation or settling in during production. So if it were me I'd send it in for repair. Sorry you just got it and will end up missing it while its away I feel your pain. Hope I could help.
To fix the issue...
Go to setting and slide down the BRIGHTNESS...
Hope to solve your screen issue.
Mine looks identical to yours. Though I don't notice it very often in normal use.reminds me of my old g2x screen (also ips). I guess just live with it.

Mine looks similar. Luckily it's only really noticeable as the device boots.

backlight clouding
my touchpad got the same issue, seems to be normal, sadly
Add another one to the list.
All 3 touchpads I purchased exhibit similar backlight bleeding--all along the same left side, near the speakers.
1 was about as severe as the attached picture in the OP. The others minimal.
My guess is faulty design in tandem with the IPS technology resulting in what seems to be widespread--aka normal.
Yeah, i notice it on my normal desktop IPS monitors as well, but mostly if you have brightness way up and a full black screen. IPS has a drawback that it does not display true black very well. I keep my normal monitors at like 30-40% brightness (much higher and I would go blind from it) and I don't really notice it.
All are the same
Have seen 6 of them plus mine...same issues.
Deal with it at 99... whe ask perfection for a tablet at the price of the photo frame. HP should return your money and donate the tablet to a poor kid in the third world. They will save some money in that case...
If less means "more" than "all" will be nothing!
Yeah my Asus Transformer IPS panel also had light bleed. It the IPS panels are excellent screens, but this is one of the prices you pay. Besides during normal use you don't really notice it.
I advise not staring at your screen while it's booting up.
Got my TP back from the European Service Center (located in Hungary) today.
Well, the bleeding on the left edge of the screen got slightly better BUT the operation left visible marks on the housing.
It seems they pried the Touchpad open with some sort of tool around in the area of the rubber seal surrounding the display, thus leaving "screwdriver-marks".
I will contact HP Support again.
Should have listened to you IPS Panel guys
lost my sensation 8(
Asurion tmobile insurance) sent me a refurb AMAZE even though i was told id get a NEW phone, i specifically asked when buying the insurance.
besides the light bleed the screen is just ****, i can see each pixel and the color shifts when looking at it in the best viewing angles like dead on and very slightly turning it like less that 2degreee turn
are all amaze like this or do i have a cheap chinese replacement screen that flickers when i scroll through the setting menu also.
thanks for any responses you guys are amazing
another note, the 4.3 screen was the perfect size on the sensation but on the amaze is seems too small for the phones size, anyone agree
49 amaze owners looked but didnt comment so far.
starting to think only my phone is like this
I have no complaints about my screen. Color, viewing angles, etc
I can't see how you can possibly see the each pixel, not without a magnify glass.
You have a duff one. I don't think i've seen one single complaint about the amaze screen other than a dead pixel.
All (or at least most of) the Amaze's have some light bleed issues with the buttons. It's annoying, but I don't find it a deal breaker. As for being able to see the pixels, I don't have that problem. You might try playing around with the display settings. You might also call Asurion and complain.

Yes the screen bleed is an issue, an hardware issue but at least you can turn the key LEDs off. Most hardware issues can't be solved.
Personally i wouldn't class it as a screen issue, just bad design for not blocking the key LEDs.
can't really see pixels.
color shift... more like contrast shift? you can say it's like the inferior display that you find in the mytouch 4g or the sensation where they have 2 different displays.
I wonder if they're gonna have another manufacturer in the future where they have a good display *crosses fingers*
the flicker.. not sure about that? like is the display itself flickering or are you noticing the letter's sharpness that doesn't seem to move smoothly because of the high dpi.
Could you guys do a "dmesg" through terminal and search for "panel" and find where it says panel type and tell us if it says AUO or a different name like SHARP or SONY?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Coming from the Sensation, I do notice the pixelation a bit more on the Amaze, as well as the light bleed from the capacitive buttons when I wake the phone, no other times. My screen keeps its colors when I look from the side though.
I think the screen is just fine on the Amaze, except for the stupid decision to make it come out over the bezel. I don't think I'll be putting this phone on it's front, lol

How do you turn the leds off? The light bleed is a little annoying but not a deal breaker. I am overall happy with the screen. At least its not bluish color like the sgs2.

the light bleed is only noticeable if you have the screen brightness low and you have to be indoors or low light area of the phone auto shuts off the touch key lights, but I dont think the light bleed is acceptable it belies the supposed high quality/price of our phone and makes me think my next phone will be a samsung

Screen bleed is unacceptable on a phone that's close to $600
I got a brand new in the box Amaze free as a warranty exchange for the myTouch 4G Slide. The unacceptable screen bleed is ridiculous. Display is far inferior from the myTouch 4G Slide's LCD. On top of that I CAN see every pixel as well regardless of how dim the lights are. Women have more cones in the eyes biologically than male and maybe this is why since I am female so we can see specs of dust whereas men sometimes overlook this. Not sure if original author was female or not the whole point is I sure as hell see every pixel and the light bleed and it's unacceptable. The phone also overheats, has reached 111F. I'm annoyed. I was a huge fan of the phone until I got my own and played with it at night. Yes cool camera and all but now I"m not so happy anymore. Seems like the next best phone will be the coming Nexus.

I''ve also never seen one with dust under the screen. It implies perhaps something isn't bonded correctly on the exterior. Which also would explain the buzzing when it vibrates

I'm 100% sure the weird vibrating is coming from the sim card slot/tray within the phone. It's some sort of locking mechanism, seems normal though.
Dust under screen - never heard of it before on 1x+.
Capacitive backlight bleed - mine has it too but it's hardly noticeable and you'll see it only in very very dark areas. Took me a week to realize my phone has it.
Sim tray buzzing noise - this is probably related - when shaking my phone in a certain way, I hear very faint rattling.
I think the dust under screen alone is enough to get you motivated to have the phone replaced. The other two issues, I personally can live with it.

The thing is the bleed is on the outside of the capacutive buttons. In between the screen seal I can see light, I think it'd the curvature of the glass. Do all do this?

Well since I have a return period at AT&T I think I'm just going to return it.
There are three specks of dust (medium sized) under the screen, not a big deal but that's annoying.
There's a gap that collects dust between the SEAL and the GLASS DISPLAY. Not just the edge, it makes contact with the display and is loose, the seal is not connected properly.
There is a rattling when phone vibrates which is the sim card tray I believe.
And finally that capacitive backlight button bleed, annoys the heck outta me.
So I'll be returning it tomorrow to get a replacement. Wish me luck guys.
Quick update, went and exchanged and got home, and noticed the vibration was fixed, dust was fine but guess what!? There's still a gap in the seal, and I know it's a gap because when I push the whole screen down against the rubber seal the light disappears! Just great HTC, guess I'm going back for my third tomorrow!

Anybody else have this light bleed or is this just luck of the draw?
Just to give this thread some closure. I walked into the AT&T store told the guy about this and he kind of acted like the whole ordeal was stupid, replied with I can't see it and since it's your second repair you must go through the AT&T global store and call this number yadda yadda. I didn't want to be without a phone and was afraid of the same problem once again. So I traded the HTC One X+ in for the SGS3. So long story short, this thing has an amazing build quality and surprisingly feels much sturdier than the One X+. The only thing it lacks is where the processor is and how fast it goes. Thanks though guys, sorry for leaving you! Hope all goes well and HTC gets all of these problems sorted out!
Well since you have the S3 make sure to try Task&ktoons AOKP rom. Smooth as butter its all I ever ran on my s2 and s3
Sorry to hear about your issues though

FA34D, slight overhang on the top right and bottom right, otherwise quite perfect. Not sure where the light leaks out of, but I don't notice any leakage; nothing as bad as the capacitive buttons leaking through to the screen on my Amaze.
Edit: had the wrong corners identified.
I've got overhang on top left, but it's so minor to me I don't care. Plus with the fact that a lot of other people are reporting the same makes me feel better. Everything else on this phone is PERFECT, and I'm OCD about this stuff. :good:

I have overhang on my "unit", the misses loves it
FA34EW absolutely no overhang of gaps. Second one I ordered for my wife did so I sent it back. Waiting for it to come back.

My FA34D had plastic that looked shoddy, large gaps between plastic and top speaker cover piece on both ends, and a gash in the speaker aluminium on the botton right. Disappointed; It's going back. Can't comment on speaker/glass since I have not taken the plastic off yet.
Just returned mine. Got a Galaxy Note 2.
The full hd screen on the htc didnt make any difference in my eyes, and the phone was getting hot and loosing battery fast.

Ok I love all the android phones, last year I purchased almost all the top high end phones like HTC one x, x+, GS2, 3, Nexus 4 and so on. I get tired from the phones onece I play with all the roms, so I sell them on Craigslist for little cheaper(I take the loss) and add money and buy a new phone. I own the GS3 for almost 6 months, this is the only phone I kept for that long and still love it. So when I saw what GS4 was like and the HTC I decided to get the htc one because the GS4 looked like GS3s
Anyway I tought the HD screen is going ro be a big deal and the aluminum HTC one looked like high quality, but I used it for 5 days and I faund that htc still doing garbage quality control. The phone is looong thebpower botton is very high, and i have big hands. The phone gets hot when I start using, the battery drains (I almost disabled all the apps). 2 dead pixels and so one. So decided to return and never ever get HTC, becuse every time I buy HTC all the time it has toooo many defects. Mytouch 4g, htc one x and one x+. I exchanged the one x for 5 times so I dont want to go tru that anymore.
This is my opinion. Sorry if it was long.

I for one am not going to bash on someone who simply has a different liking. I have been lucky with HTC; out of my last 4 phones, I only had to exchange one (my HD2) because it was overheating. I always liked HTC build and designs.
As per title, at certain angles in sunlight I see a matrix of dots on screen, is this normal, ie its just the multitouch matrix?
Is it common on Z2?
Got my Z2 yesterday, refurb phone via contract. It looks new so hope its normal
Yes it's normal.

It only come time to time if u think about it, you cant compare 1 display with another xD
So as I am walking with my phone, sun behind me I get lines of bright dots going up and down the screen. So annoying!!!
yup, I was wondering about that as I've had a g2 and m7 before, but never seen this.
the screen seems fine however
It is in fact normal. It is for the capacitive touch screen. I had galaxy note and Omnia HD and they did not have something like this, but I know that HTC HD2 had it.
It's just digitizer (touch device). On some phones it's just more visible than on the others. You just have to get used to it.
its typical on slimmer xperias
had it on my xperia s and also both of my Z2s
