I have a rev 11 nexus 4, 16GB.
I recently noticed this odd pattern on the screen. It is visible even when the LCD is turned off.
When the screen is on, I can also see these vertical lines/bands. They are especially visible on dark gray backgrounds.
I notice the pattern more when there is a reflection on the screen.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it an inherent side effect of the LCD technology used?

Thanks,
