Sadly a number of Samsung Super Amoled devices are reporting horizontal and vertical lines though I have not seen anything like these yet.

 

There are quite a few reports of this on gsmarena. Another common issue that's being reported is the back and home buttons stop working and a reboot is required to get them working again.

 

I have not had any screen issues but I have had the buttons stop once or twice. I also have had about 3 random reboots in the 3 weeks I've had it. Overall it has been pretty solid.

 

Sony Trinitron FTW!! If you ever owned one, you know what I mean..

 

I take it back. I do have a nasty horizontal line (in landscape). It goes all the way across and is fairly thick. I just noticed it - I'm thinking it may have just appeared. It is most noticable on white or blue screens.

 

You should return it because I don't have that issue which I did with my previous SII. Also if you keep buying from the same stock you might get same issue. I bought mine from The OEM Shop which alse has the best price, but I think you need to buy third party warrenty.

reposting of my post from xda:
The grey shades is not completely consistent for the phone, but its still much better than the problem I had with the Galaxy SII T-Mobile. What is shown from the screenshot taken matches exactly with what I see in real life, so my only conclusion is this is a software issue that hopefully can be fixed.


I also tried the blue, red, green shade and they look pretty good.

 

Hey EarlZ, that looks pretty good for a SAmoled screen to be honest. You have a way way higher chance of getting one that's worse. (Deep dark lines, blotches)

If you did end up returning it for a new one, I hope you lucked out

Edit: What's the brightness set to in the pic? From what I've been reading on XDA, no one uses below 60% because of this issue.
