Weird grid pattern on the eee Transformer screen
I have this truly odd screen defect. It's a grid of 5mm squares and it stretches across the entire screen of my eee Pad. Has anyone seen it before?
Any clue how to fix it? |

Aside from the screen problem it's great.

I've not seen it. Sounds like a screen controller problem - is it still under warranty?

I noticed this on my Xoom. Mildly annoying. But only when playing video that was rescaled. I assumed it had something to do with the OS functions for rescaling video. It seems to be gone after upgrading to Android 3.2. I just checked, and I can't see it anymore. It was a square black grid that was slightly less black than black parts in a video. It was most obvious in dark parts of video. Last edited by Adoby; 07-28-2011 at 10:45 AM. |

Not seeing it on mine. Can you describe the conditions under which the effect appears?
Luck; Ken |

I remember reading somewhere that it's to do with the capactive touch screen.
EDIT found it http://android.modaco.com/topic/3388...n-grid-effect/ Last edited by Tomsk; 07-28-2011 at 03:02 PM. |

it's the digitizer. it's hard to see (at least harder than on some of the other tablets).
not really a defect, but a side effect of the digitizer they're using. |

Hmm... if it is a problem associated with a change in the refractive index of the glass, as
was suggested in the link, it makes me even more leery of installing the "Skinomi" screen protector kit I bought. Maybe I don't keep mine clean enough for the problem to be noticeable? Luck; Ken |
