No screen bleed here.
Tiny bit in upper right corner for me.

Same, it's not a concern to me at all.

The only time I notice it is on a jet black screen and it's super minimal there 1 inch wide x .25 deep.. Very faint glow
Non-issue
Very minor here. Can only see it if in a dark room AND thinking to look for it on a uniform screen... even at that... minor.
Two minor spots on the bottom right corner. Ones a little bit bigger than the other.
Right side, and bottom middle screen bleed. It is minor but still annoys me at night before bed.
Judging on how the bleed is from tablet to tablet, I blame poor action on maintaining quality manufacturing and testing. Might just be because there is very high demand as the first quad core and ASUS is just trying to keep up.
I have a feeling that tablets sold in about a month from now will be of better build quality then those being sold today.
Good thing I decided to wait and just buy the TP with keyboard dock. I figure I'll keep watch on updates for the tablet and by the time I go to buy one, the tablet will be more stable.

Think again, the original transformer tablet still has horrible screen bleed and lose casing. These were issues when the TF101 first came out and have not been resolved to this day.
I had one on release (TF101), it had bad screen bleed and the back panel was falling off. I returned it, now just last month I decided to give them another go.. Guess what? Even worst screen bleed and still the same loose falling off back panel.. The issues were the same on the two TF101 units i purchased last month.. returned both for full refund.

Nope, had them both side by side and compared which had worst screen bleeding and loose back case... Both were horrendous and had to be returned.

... You had one at release. Which you returned I'm assuming shortly after release. Then you got a new one bout a month ago and compared them side by side??? Please tell me I misread that.

I said when the TF101 first released I purchased one.. It had screen bleed and loose falling off back panel, returned.
Fast forward to 1 month ago, I bought two TF101's and compared them side by side... Both had bad screen bleed and loose case (same issues I was having at release). I returned both and decided to try the TFP.
They again failed to impress me with the quality of their devices because I have screen bleed again (on the TFP), its not as bad but stacked with the other issues its pretty bad for a device like this to launch with so many problems.
Let me know if you understand, if not I can make you a child story book in color explaining it in greater detail for you Haro...

Thank goodness, you have been trolling me for awhile now and everyone else who bad mouths the TFP.
So yea, screen bleed on the TFP is a problem on some devices but with mine it isn't too bad.
Mines wasn't bad at first but gotten worst so I will exchange it asap.

@duckied: Hooray for perfect English.
Has anyone just considered that... ASUS doesn't make a good quality tablet? I've been considering Acer for a while. When I spend 500$ on something, like anyone, I want the damn thing to work. I would hate backlight bleed and crappy Wifi. Then again, 500$ for anything is a little cheap. I guess you get what you pay for. But hey, everyone likes a cheap tablet, eh?
Another thought: If the backlight bleeds that means it's hardware and ASUS can't do much to fix that. Anyone know how bad Samsung tablets are? I'm trying to think of some manufacturers who've been making tablets a little longer than ASUS.
Oh, and can anyone post a picture of their screen bleed? I'm very interested to see how bad it is. The quad core tegra 3... it beckons.

Only time I can see the minor screen bleed I have is during the asus boot animation so I'm out on the one. I wouldn't let the negative reviews here get you down. Other than the GPS my tablet is perfect. The wifi almost keeps up with my desktop.

I figure I'll still wait for a while. Maybe after it gets the ICS update.
I just got my Transformer Prime (first tablet) its been great, everything i expected except for a small problem on the right side, volume rocker side, the bevel seems to by somewhat coming out of the rest of the casing (back plate). Is this something i need to be overly concerned about?
It works fine, it's just that i really notice it when i hold the Pad with my left hand. Thanks

now that you mention it mine is a little higher on the left side. But I have a case so dont really ever see it. lol
But I dont have any problems

Unfortunately there are many quality control issues with this model.
I too had the left side glass raised and unglued. Add that to the bad screen bleed, yellowish tint, lint inside the glass, dead pixels, no gps bad wifi, blah blah....return it after 2 days. Never had a product so badly build by asus (or any other co.)like this one.
With hope that infinity would have better QC... that, my friend will be wishful thinking...
Lets hope others like samsung can release a dock like the prime.

So i shouldn't think much of it? Itd be pointless to return it and have a worse one, ive no other problems with the screen. My WiFi is so so but gets the job done.

Is the entire front assembly flexing out, or the glass itself is actually coming up from the plastic frame? Of course you may not be able to tell.
IMO I'd try again until I got a better one, because they are out there. Could try RMA'ing it for them to fix it (run a chance of it being broken and blamed on you or outright replaced with a newer unit, just in a longer amount of time than returning). But if you're willing to open the Prime after a while, then you could probably fix it yourself in a matter of minutes.

It just comes up a little on the side nothing overly major. Not actually really noticeable until i press on it and feel it
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Yeah, I stand by my opinion then, I'd swap it out or return and buy another. I don't think it will get worse, but either it wasn't adhered to the plastic frame properly, or one of the little tabs that helps keep it closed was broken in the factory/during shipping. Not knowing which one means the longer you wait the more risky it becomes to claim it as a manufacturing defect.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD via my tethered HTC Vision
I would also swap out this Prime for another one.
There have been reports of people's screens suddenly cracking, and all kinds of while theories why. Personally I think that it has to so with the screens being warped by a broken clip, or a slightly bent Prime. If your screen sticks out enough to cause a noticeable flex it might be at risk for one of those sudden cracks. Exchange it while you are still within your return period.
Swap it out. It will either; get worse as time goes on, or you will be annoyed by it eventually.
Asus needs to clean up these QC issues, the more returns, the more fixes they will put into their manufacturing process.

Well, that's how most would do it lol not ASUS.
They'll keep the exact same production going on and just keep swapping them out until we just don't even want to try anymore or actually luck out with a device some random Chinese/Taiwanese worker was proud to finish up.
Look at anything they make and sell, and you'll find their crappy QC/QA is pretty universal and normal CS to be a joke.

thanks guys, i think i will get it changed. i bought the insurance plan the office depot i finally found it at. Am i stuck with having to make a claim with them? Or will it not matter or void the insurance if i ask Asus for a replacement? Thanks
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
I would exchange with BB personally, smaller turn-a-round and so long as you insist to speak with a manager you'll likely be able to test the unit before even accepting it as a replacement. They're very aware of the Prime's issues.

Do any of you guys have white spot on your prime? Im not trying to be a pain in the ass but i paid a good amount of cash for it and was told about a white spot on lower area of tablet lol here are some pics the spot is easy to see
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
I have this too, though in a different spot. It only occurs when the screen is white, or close to white. I'm not sure what the problem is or if there is a fix.
I had the same thing. Ended up sending it in for RMA and getting it fixed song with other things.. They replaced the screen and all is well.
Oh ok so i can send it in to get fixed?

I've sent mine for the same problem.
It tooks ages to be repaired, but it will be repaired under warranty, so, I think, you can send it without any money loss (hopefully).
ok great thanks for the info so who do i have to talk to to get this shipped out like what nuber do i call or who do i email?
So im sending it in to see what they can do to fix it wish my tablet luck lol

my prime also has this spot. At least Asus is quite consistent with its failings too.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I sent mine in for the same thing. Was received March 26th, no update called in on 8th business day and was "escalated" so the RMA would show status. On April 5th updated to "repairing". Still hadn't heard anything since that so I called again today, they said since it was received on the 26th (even though RMA logged it as received April 5th so they look like they fixed it quicker) and I had proof with FedEx tracking # they escalated repair asking them to "expedite". We'll see how long "expedited" repair takes. Long story short for the same problem so far 2 weeks at facility and counting but yes it's a warranty repair.
update: received shipping notification today. Point of the story, don't let them walk all over you keep up on the repair process. I'll let you know if they fixed it and what they say they had to repair.
Its called LCD Mura. Its caused by a slightly thinner spot in the LCD display causing the backlight to be slightly brighter at that sport. i had it on 2 new primes and they both went straight back for a replacement...
off screen white spots
[ i m facing some strange issue in my canvad hd...i seen some white dots on screen during charging in off mode..when cell is not on...the charging image shows..in just above i seen white dots...i thought it dead pixel...but when i on my cell ..this dots gone...no dots there...only in off mode charging...they shows..what is this..ny idea...
Or nyone facing this issue ?
I know there has been quite a few of you that have had issues with ASUS RMA Process. I on the other hand have had a very good experience ASUS RMA Process. I was having a black screen with color lines flashing on the screen. The Prime was total unresponsive. I called and was issued a RMA Number with instructions on what to do. They paid for the next day shipping to their repair facility. A week later (including the weekend) the prime was fixed and a few days later my unit was shipped out to me. I do have to say I am very impressed how fast they got my unit fixed. They replaced the screen. Since I received my Prime, I have only had one issues with some lines appearing on the left side of the screen. I restarted the Prime and no more lines.
I believe that if you keep calm and treat the rep with respect, they will work with you. I hope you all have the same experience I have had.

Lovely news, I owe you a thanks ..(no more than 8 ...) tomorrow.

I've had this problem for a while now, but whenever my Prime is upside down, such as when it is on my lap and it is charging, I want the cable away from me, I hear this rattle whenever the screen is touched not too hard, but with little force. It seems to sound like it is coming from above the speaker. What could this be? Should I RMA or will it be able to be fixed by myself? Let me know if you have this problem as well.

First things first, stop shaking your prime
Have you noticed any odd functioning of your prime, diminished response from speakers, wifi cutting in and out more than usual, dead spots on the digitizer, etc?
Have you dropped your prime at any point? if nothing is malfunctioning its probably some insignificant portion of the MOBO that has become detached possibly one of the clips on a connector or the like. I would definitely RMA your device if there are no signs of physical damage. Make sure you document your prime very well with photographs and/or video as some repair centers are... less than careful with the device.Send a copy of the photographs/video with the prime to the RMA facility in a clearly marked envelope along with the prime, make sure to keep copies for yourself just in case they try and play any games. Additionally make sure you talk to a customer service rep on the phone and get the issue escalated as parts should not just be falling apart inside the prime like that and it should be dealt with immediately. Make sure you make it clear to them that is unacceptable but in a polite and professional manner. This is the best way to get them to expedite your RMA.
I have this, but its more like a very feint click when I tap the screen. Only occasionally.
i know what you mean , i think . its not so loud on my prime but apart from hearing i can actually feel that its loading the battery, when i stroke the back gently, or especially on the dock on the aluminium around the touchpad.... some weird feeling in my finger like its leaking power or something .. and it makes a gentle noise ..
had this on tf101 too btw..

LOL, shaken but not stirred.
I have never dropped it, unless lightly tossing it onto my bed counts. But I doubt it. I have also have had wifi cut outs more than usual, but I have had this rattle for a while. Since about when they announced the GPS dongle. I think the cut outs may just be the .28 update.

I have the very same issue too.
I'm in Australia, and I RMA'd it and when I got it back after almost a month and a half ... it was still the same -.-
So in my case, a month and a half without the tablet, the issue still exist.
However, I don't find any unusual behavior with the prime though. It still works like it should.
I have the same exact issue its on the bottom right when you tap it, theres a shaking rattling noise. Scares me a little but doesn't affect performance or anything so i'm not worrying at all.

I sent mine for a DOA assessment, not an RMA and after nearly a month still not back. In Melbourne and not even JB Hi-Fi can contact them.
I think the rattle is due to the dock locking mechanism on both sides of the bottom of the device.
I've noticed it as well (although not when touching the screen, but when moving the tablet itself).

I think it may be this, but it happens only on one side, And it also doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, its when the tablet is being used upside down.
