Re: Received 7 defective Nexus 7's and Google is now refusing RMA
If mine looked that bad in person, I'd absolutely return it as well. That's horrible.
However, I will point out that the photo looks like a fairly long exposure shot with a bright screen under darkened room conditions to demonstrate where the light sources are. Having said that, if it appears that way when looking at it with your own two eyeballs in any light at any "normal" screen brightness, that there's a defect. Mine looks absolutely nothing like that - there are slight variances in the light levels consistent with every other LED-backlit unit I've ever owned.
And, actually, in that case it looks like a defective unit because I believe the light sources are supposed to be on both sides of the screen and a couple at the top and bottom for proper light diffusion. But I may be wrong at that.
it is hard to know what people are experiencing but someone may be experiencing this when they say light bleed but they should not return it? it is just in their head?
