Scandal indeed.

Yes that was me.

Can someone with one of these devices please educate me on exactly what you are seeing? And even better post some photos that demonstrate it. Are those photos typical? Or does it affect the screen a lot more.

Yes all this nonsense discussion is about those tiny cones. And indeed it is not affecting much of the screen at all, just right next to the bezel(s). I've pointed out several times that there really isn't such a big issue as this thread makes it seem. I first describe what I'm seeing in post #423, before I knew that all the LEDs are at the bottom. I included a picture of two Clara's next to each other showing the bleed at low light brightness in that post. I eventually chose the device on the right in that picture (and returned the other), and since I've squeezed the bezel the bleed brightness is a
lot less than that picture shows:

I compared the two devices I ended up with (I need to send one back), and the brighter spots are in the same locations on both devices, however on one of the devices it is more prominent (brighter) than the other. See image (I'm holding the protective plastic up from the screen of the left device on the picture, it's not a screen defect  ... oh and I see I must have tapped the menu while doing so; the lighting menu should have been showing on both screens. You'll just have to trust that I had the same lighting settings on both devices  ). |
