Blunt object impact. Can't be repaired; panel must be replaced.

When you say panel, you mean screen/digitizer?

Correct (short for LCD panel). Very difficult to replace on HDX devices due to copious use of industrial glue during the manufacturing process. Of course, you probably won't care about cracking the old display during disassembly. Getting the new one to lay flat is a different matter.

[Q] Purple-ish Capacitive Buttons? Get it replaced?

Hey guys I received my HTC One earlier today and I noticed a couple of things, one, there are small gaps between the polycarbonate and the speaker grill and my capacitive buttons seem to have a purple-ish hue to them. it almost seems as if they are not completely lighting up. Has anyone else had this issue?
If not should I go ahead and get it replaced?
The only reason I ask is because when I went to the AT&T store, the display model had the same issue.
By the way, they look sort of like this, except more purple:

Mine have somewhat of a hue.
They look like this:

[Q] Digitizer/Grey Lines

I'm wondering if the faint vertical gray lines I see on my G3 are a device specific issue or if everyone is having the same problem. For some reason whenever I look at the stock background or anything with white or light colors I can see vertical gray lines on my G3's screen. They aren't that noticeable, but now that I have noticed them, I seem to always notice them. Does anyone else have this problem or should I exchange my device for a new one?
So looking at a white or light background makes these "grey bars" visible?

Yes, faint but now that I've seen it already they bug me.
All the LG G3 phones have it. Some people notice them, some don't. And they vary in degree
Those little grey lines
Are your phones capacitive input sensors, its how the phone registers touch.

Does everyone have the "rainbow effect"? It's deal breaker?

Just brought it, i really like it in all aspects except the annoying rainbow effect, i can even see it without tilt the tablet, especially in landscape, just wondering EVERYONE have this problem? after some time of use you get used to? any way of fix it?
I was thinking of change it but it doesn't make sense if all units are faulty
Rainbow effect:

I am unable to access your screen picture but my tablet is perfectly normal and has none of the aberrations you describe. I was in a shop yesterday and handled the two display models and they were fine too. So I would suspect a fault with yours.
Here are the pics http://imgur.com/a/mpuTI#0
So your tablet doesn't have any of this when you tilt it?
I noticed a rainbow effect when I first got mine, but now I don't see it at all unless I really look for it.

No, none of that. Using the same Google page,I have tilted it in every direction and it is a clean high quality IPS screen with no artifacts.

Should I be worried?

I just noticed this spot on the display. I've only had the watch a few days. Don't mind the background, it just shows the spot more readily.

Hmm, I'm not sure I'm seeing the spot you're referring too. Where is it and what am I looking for?

It's a purplish spot on the middle of the left half (the black section).
I have it too in my watch, no idea if it's a future problem. It's barely noticeable for now.

I think it is a small pressure spot from the circuit board underneath the screen. I have it on my watch too and notice it "ripples" a little bit if I bend my wrist and put some pressure on the screen. I'm not too worried about it (my 1st gen 360 had it too)
yeah when i bend my wrist and stuff, I see a blueish spot in that exact area. it goes away tho when pressure is gone.

How check if screen is AMOLED or not?

I brought a refurbished 3T and I think the screen is replaced.
How can I confirm this?
Any other test than black png so to provide a concert evidence to the seller.
thanks
AMOLED displays are pure black when the pixels are off.
It's striking in a dark room.

The resolution is as promised but I suspect the screen is lcd not AMOLED, it doesn't mentions anything like that.
Get some polarized sunglasses and turn rotate the display. If it's LCD you'll get the blackout effect.
