So I opened my Nexus 9 today. I've never really had any issues with any of my tech before, but does this look like a dead or stuck pixel? I've tried a factory reset and downloaded a Pixel Fixer app and ran that for an hour but no luck.
I couldn't get a clear picture, but if you look in the circle there is a white pixel. I've tried a bunch of different backgrounds and this white pixel is clearly visible on White, Red and Green backgrounds, but on a Black background I can't see anything.
Would I be able to return this? Tried to call Google but I keep getting disconnected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there im in the same position, ive had the nexus 9 for a month now and this pixel is killing me, the funny thing is its hard to tell if its a dead or stuck pixel as its white on a white background, and when its a black background its now where to be seen.

[Q] Black Horizontal Screen Lines

I've been having this issue lately. It started just a few weeks ago when I noticed these black horizontal screen lines on my screen which are very visible on grey and other light colored backgrounds. It persists even after rebooting, still on the same spots.
I've run across this problem with 2 of the kernels I've tried. Siyah and Hyperdroid Kernel. Positions of the lines changes with the kernels, I think. I'm not having this problem with void and NEAK.
I'm running a Samsung ROM. Hyperdroid. I was using CheckROM before and I was also having this problem. On ICS ROMs, no black horizontal lines were showing. If I remember correctly, lines also do not show on AOSP ROMs(not that sure).
So, is anyone else having this problem? Anyone know how I can fix this?
Here's a pic of the screen. If you look closely, there are some black lines on the grey area... But they're not that visible on the picture because of the camera. But it's disturbingly visible when the screen is right in front of you.

This is the 2nd phone with a dead pixel? Hopefully the next one won't have a dead pixel!
EDIT:
This time before you leave the store, double check and triple check everything is good.
Make sure the screen is in perfect condition and there's no dead pixels or dead spots.
You can also try to fix the issue yourself with a video that flashes primary colors rapidly. That can revive a stuck pixel. Sometimes a pixel is just stuck and not dead.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sometimes people would want to be sure that it won't happen again so they'll just go and return the device and swap it.
More of a hassle but it kind of makes you feel a little bit better.

Sorry for bad quality used Lumia 520 to take a picture of it
I tried other ways of fixing it like downloading Pixel Fixer and similar stuff nothing helped.
is there any other weird way of fixing this myself? I seen somewhere that leaving it on the cold ice for 24 hours can fix it but that looks non sense for me. If anyone have tried it and it worked please let me know.
Anyway is there any other untraditional of fixing this without taking it to local repair shop.
Would Factory Reset help?
Anyone? I really need help with this.

Screen uniformity -- how does yours compare? Would you replace this?

My S3 is a few days old and I can't quite stand this pillar of yellow going across the midsection of the screen. I posted a screenshot of Chrome without any tabs open, which is a dark grey background (pardon the reflection of a a string of christmas lights at the top). It's also noticeable on white backgrounds, e.g. scrolling through Google Newsstand, articles from the bottom have a cool white background to a yellowish white as they scroll up How does yours compare? Is it better or worse? If you were me, would you exchange it? I'm unhappy with it, but I feel like I'll likely just end up with something as bad or worse if I get another one... AMOLEDs are such a gamble. Any feeback is appreciated.

I'd definitely change it if you haven't already. Once you know it's there it'll just bug you. More people than you'd think aren't bothered by uniformity issues and have a very "meh" attitude. Probably why there's no replies here. Good luck with it!

Is this display a faulty one ?

Hi, Pictures say it all. Do you think that this screen is faulty? It presents anything with black scenes (like black bacgrounds here, netflix, youtube) looking like shiit.
There are some blobby pixelated stuff going on on black images and videos. Phone is new, never dropped pure condition.
I've read about some "black crush" issues with those displays. Do you think this is it ? Because I think this display is faulty. Anyone experienced such issue ? This black crush definitely would not be to such a huge extent imho. This is 100% not a compression issue because on my other phones, tv and computer black background looks like background and not like this shiit.
Anyone experience similar issue ?
Android version is 12.
