Screen warm up time

---

When I first load up my nexus 7, the screen looks terribly washed out but eventually becomes normal after a few minutes. In addition, bad screen ghosting occurs and gradually disappears over about a half hour. Anybody else experiencing this? Is this normal ?

I have the same problem

No, that's not normal... I bought 2 and neither do that. They're just like any other decent LCD device. Instant on without issue. Sounds like you got a dud.

Mine looks the same from the first second on until I turn it off. The only time it "washes out" (Tegra 3 "PRISM" Display stuff) is at very specific times when watching a video (including youtube) or sometimes playing games.

I have yet to see ghosting at all on the N7, I have seen it on previous IPS LCD tablets like my Nook Color, particularly if it decided to get stuck on while charging like it randomly would do. I'd go to another screen and the previous screen, most often the launcher, I'd see the icons for a few seconds on the new screen. But again, haven't seen this on the N7 at all.

I've worked with 5 brand new devices and have never had these symptoms. Not normal

Thanks for your advice. I've contacted Google and am returning this one in exchange for a new one.

I'm on the same boat Mate... :'( ... the problem is, that in UK return process is a real road through hell. I am thinking about accepting it as it is, mere 5 minutes of warmup time, but other than that - flawless.
