I'm wondering if someone could help me confirm or deny if my screen is defective? I have a pink hue that runs about 2mm in thickness along the top and right side of the screen. Its subtle but noticeable nonetheless. I can't post a pic or screen shot because it doesn't show up. I ran the free Display Tester in the Playstore and when displaying a white screen it can be readily seen. Would anyone be kind enough to install that or similar app and see if it shows up for them? Thank you.
 
If it doesn't show up in a screenshot, then it's almost certainly a problem with the screen itself. Does it persist after a reboot, or in Safe Mode? https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-26624. If so, I wouldn't waste much more time and just bring it back to the store for an exchange (or contact Samsung for warranty repair/replacement, if the store says it's too late for them to do anything).
 
I returned it. Waiting now for another black. There is a YouTube vid of the pink top and right side same as my defective one. Went to Best Buy and saw a demo unit with a bit of pink at the top of the display too.
