Oil Mark (bubble on screen)

[smcolbert]

I got mine from sprint (wifi only) and had the same issue. I went through samsung's warranty and they swapped out the screen no charge. It feels very slightly heavier/sturdier since they sent it back, so I don't know if that's just my perception or if they replaced more than just the screen.

There is definitely a satin/slight orange peel you can see when the screen is off, so it was probably an issue with the old screens actually sticking together, which the new one doesn't do.

Dealing with samsung was very easy and didn't cost me a penny. Only about a week without my tab, but well worth not having the "newtons rings" or oil slick issue.

How prevalent is this oil spot problem? I'm seriously considering buying a Tab, but this has me concerned.

It' no longer an issue. They have remade the tablet a bajillion times due to apple lawsuits and such. It was only an earlier batch. I sell the tablet all the time and mine is the only one I've seen it on.

I too am going to get one. My wife bought me a ipad2 for my bday, but its just an oversized iphone imo, si I will be returning it this week. I have both a 3d and an 4s. The galaxy tab has me intrigued as it does boast a better screen and a few other things. What are biggest concerns with the galaxy tab? And best accessories beside dock station?

I don't have any concerns. I love my tab. I use it with my fingers or a stylus. I have two keyboards as well. I have the Samsung white keyboard and it works great for me. I like the option.particularly if typing a lot. Can't travel with it very easily tho. Last week I got the Logitech Bluetooth keyboard/case. Just place it ontop of it and its protected as a case. Being a woman I do have a zippered case for that. But when not using a keyboard I have a leather case I use. I am pleased with using keyboards or just my fingers. If you want a keyboard can't go wrong with either one.
