I've heard that the IPS Display on the Nexus 7 has issues with "ghosting" screens.. Anyone notice this on theirs? Is it really bad?

I haven't noticed a single issue with it. Where did you hear about the ghosting problem?
 
Pretty sure that was just on the pre-production models. I've been playing with my Nexus all day and haven't noticed it at all...

Supposedly it only affects the Google I/O units as they were pretty production units. I haven't heard anyone with a launch device having this issue. I know mine is not.

Online.. If i find the link, I'll post it. I guess ASUS said it should be fixed before they were shipped but I haven't heard anything.. Was wondering if anyone recieved one with this problem.

I see the ghost effects on my Gnex sometimes. But appears to only happen when I'm using Swiftkey, not the stock keyboard.
 
Just got mine 2 hours ago and am having pretty significant ghosting issues with the screen. When it goes into sleep mode and then becomes active again the colors are very pastelish and light and the black is no where near black. Then it takes awhile for the screen to warm up but you can still see the images from the main My Library page on all the pages... On the phone waiting to talk to Google now...:mad:
 
As an AMOLED, that's to be expected with the Gnex. Shouldn't be the case on the 7.

IPS suffers the same type of ghosting issues that AMOLED does. A simple Google search on IPS panels ghosting will warrant many issues. I have seen multiple products with IPS that had issues.
 
I receieved my nexus 7 tablet today and having several screen issues. The screen flickers if you set the brightness above 25%, ghost trails when moving screen to screen and when the device is unlocked the screen is a very dull color for over 2 minutes :/

My screen flickers to it does it on chrome mostly a little in Google play. I believe its a software issue since the games look great. Anyone else notice the screen flicker it happens when the brightness is real low.:cool:
 
My nexus had some significant ghosting but I left a movie running over night and the problem seems to have disappeared. I also have a some dead pixels but only two.

I recommend using your nexus a bit more :D:D
