Mine seems good too. You may want to get it exchanged.

If you are looking at an extreme angle to the right side of the screen you may see a bright line. This is not light leakage. The light is not leaking out.

That's what I was talking about why I put sorta bc I wasn't for sure what to categorize it as lol

When I look at the top right corner at just the right angle there is a white dot. Any other angle and it disappears. Thought it could be a stuck pixel, but now I'm not sure.

First HTC One I got had a light leak in lower right corner. Turn phone to the side with screen on, and there was a small rectangularish light spot that shown through the glass edge. It was maybe a couple millimeters wide. Not a big deal.
Got a replacement phone (long story, involves a drop and insurance), and there's no light leak that I saw. Wish I had the old phone for proof.
Whatever the case, with the first phone I could live with it. Wasn't a big deal to me. There's some really minor build quality issues, like my replacement phone (which was a brand new phone, not a refurbish) has a hairline gap between the top metal and the white plastic. Again, nothing really bothersome. It's trivial, and certainly not wide enough to fit anything other than a really thin hair through. So you could take your chances for a replacement, or live with it.

Light bleeding

Does anyone else have light bleeding on the edge of the bezel? Its only when the softkeys light up and its on the lower left hand side. Was just curious to see if im the only one. Its really noticeable at night.

I noticed that early on a lot of folks confused the poorly-conceived background on the rosie for light leakage but I haven't heard a lot about it since then and I don't have what you're describing either.

Its definitely light shinning through the edge of the bezel. Cause if the lights for the softkeys turn off its not there anymore.

Are you going to exchange yours?

Well i am now because my screen when it slides up is tearing up the black/silver finish next to the keyboard

They all have light leakage from the bottom where the glass meets the bezel. The light is coming from the soft-keys. I have seen several D3's and they all have this issue to varying degrees.
have it here too. nothing too noticeable, but i did see it. really though, other than that (and the questionable battery cover), this thing is built just as solid as the D2, if not better.
Here too
I have a very minute amount of light leakage too, on my D3, at the bottom edge of the screen. I had the same issue, actually a lot more noticeable, on my Thunderbolt. This is a common issue with all phones that use capacitive menu buttons at the bottom. It varies in degrees, but is there on almost every piece I have seen at the local Verizon store.
Mine definitely does it; but to be completely honest, I think it looks kinda neat, so I've got no complaints.

N4 screen with polarized glasses

Something interesting that I have noticed, if you put on polarized sun glasses and look at the screen you will notice indentations such as you would see if you pressed down to hard on an lcd screen. This is noticeable especially on a white background. It seems that places where you press harder on the phone such as the sides get more effected. This doesn't go away and can't be seen without polarized glasses
I'm curious if anyone else notices this, just grab a pair of polarized sun glasses and open up a blank white screen on your phone or go to text messages

Doesn't this happen on all LCD's?
Iv looked at my girlfriends galaxy s3, my old HTC EVO 4g I have never ever seen this happened its only visible with a polarized lens. Idk whats different with the n4 but it looks horrible take the glasses of and its as if nothing is there

Clearly a non-issue.

Might be due to the new in-cell sensor technogy.

Top left light under screen

Hey Guys,
I was just curious if anyone else happens to be experiencing this before I take my phone back into AT&T. When my phone is lying flat and I look across the screen I can see a strange light under the top left part of the screen. I cannot see said light when looking at the screen regularly, only when I look across the phone long ways. The screen has a black rim around the phone that causes you not to see it, so you would have to look at an angel.
I don't know what this light is, but my concern is that it would spread, which I'd rather get taken care of now rather than later if there is a defect in the screen.
Thanks,
RPelham
Bump. Can someone please look at their device and confirm whether this is the case for them? Thanks!

I have the tmo version but I don't see anything unusual.

If anyone has this issue in the future, it was due to a large gap between the LCD3 screen and the gorilla glass. It caused me to see some of the backlight coming through the edge of the screen. Returned it to ATT today and got a phone which so far is completely flawless.

My one has some annoying defects

I bought mine with the htc deal a few weekends ago. Ive had it for a while now, and there are two things i have noticed. The area of the back button bends ina littlw if i push on it, it will go in and bend a little and it is very disturbing to me.
On the bottom right of the screen, there is a small streak of light, probably from the home button or something, undwr the screen and it goes a good inch and a half in the screen, on an angle. I think it may have gotten bigger since I have had the phone.
Does anyone else have either of these problems, and what shod I do? I bought it at newegg wireless, not the official sprint store.

take it back, it's defective
Unfortunately i cant provide pictures because the back button thing is not really detectable in a picture, and neither is the white streak of light, i tried. But i bought mine at the newegg wireless store online and it was more than 14 days ago so is there any way of them replacing it?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
contact with HTC, say there's some hardware issues for your mobile phone,maybe they will provide a new one to replace it

Should I exchange my phone?

I got my one from best buy, last night I noticed that when the screen is on, on the lower left side part of the screen is a little brighter, it's about half inch in diameter, it seems like the screen is being pressed, bc if I press the screen myself a little lower, it goes away and the same thing happens where im currently pressing. The is also a small bright dot right in the middle of the screen, which also is only noticesable with s black background.
And last thing, I don't know if this is normal, but the touch screen is not accurate at all

All of that is normal. They actually made it like this as a selling point.
Jk. Not normal. Take it back. I have none of those issues.

Lol, I'm just wondering if they will exchange it since it's barely noticible if it's bright outside, and only with a black background, like when a YouTube video is loading or the app drawer

Be prepared to demonstrate the defect and be firm that you want an exchange...

It's screen bleed! It is a defect and if your within your 14 days they can't say no. Just say you'll return it if they dont
