The only touchscreen problems I've ever had with my HOX are when my palm comes into contact with the opposite corner of the screen to the one I'm trying to touch with my thumb! I need a smaller phone... Or a bigger thumb. But that would look weird. :D

Yes.

Enable show touches in development menu and it shows i have 3 ghost touches down the left hand side of the screen.
It comes and goes, mostly happens when waking the phone up.

Yes, twice.

There was a horizontal bar that was unresponsive, both times in the same place; On the dial screen it was across the first row of numbers (1,2 & 3). The first time it happened I had dropped my phone and there was minor damage to the bottom right. The 2nd time I had spilt a glass of water onto it killing the speaker, but the dead zone occurred a week later.

My mate has had the same problem as well, without the drop or water so I think it might be a problem with some screens. Just send it in to HTC for repair, the first time cost me $150 SGD (about 75 quid) as the screen was cracked, the 2nd time it was free of charge as there was no physical damage. I'm sure the replacement screen is a lot nicer to, even seems to fit better as there is no flex or movement at the side.

    There's a flaw in the questioning. Time of ownership probably isn't as important to display issues as the amount of time the display's been used. For example, someone who's a heavy gamer that plays 4+ hours of games each day would tax both the SoC and the display more than a productivity user. Same thing for a heavy video user. Having the display go off and on doing stuff like e-mail, social, and web browsing for four hours a day wouldn't apply as much stress (or heat) as constant four hour sessions of gaming and video. The parts in electronic devices have defined mean times between failure. And that time is calculated by the amount the part is in use (and how). I'm a productivity user so my screen on time from March is probably less than a gamer that bought his device in September.

    So, to be straight, I play games and I oft let my hox overheat while playing on wall charger. My daily screen on time is Aprx. 7 hours, 3 of them are gaming (the way to the university:D)
    May be I am the chosen one, but I have had no issues with my phone at all, although I've got it in early may.

    6 months. sometime when unlocking or answering the call it wont response unless I press power button to let it sleep and turn on again, after that i can asnwer the call. i think its not too severe so i'll just live with it. dropped calls are annoying though.
