Default Black ink marks
Hey guys I'm sue most if not all our you know about the black ink marks with the SGS III. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to take the phone back and get a new one but now I'm not sure because I hear that almost all the SGS III handsets have them. How many of you have taken yours back and was it worth it?

You can only see them when it's dark. At first I didn't think it would be a big deal but last night I opened my message app and I could clearly see them.

Edit: has to be a black background.

I didn't have any on mine, though waiting now on my new ordered phone.

The difference between the strong and weak willed is that the weak traverse with wounds covered up and hide when attacked, while the strong stride on with open hands and tears. Wounds bared open, and will continue to go on, even when broken at their core

I noticed a couple on mine, but they really are only noticeable in total darkness on a black background. If they get worse I'll consider getting it replaced, but its such a minor issue, it doesn't seem worth the hassle of a replacement.

The screen is amazing compared to my OG Epic.

They are "normal" for amoled screens. Ive had about 12 razr/razr maxx and everyone had it to a certain extent. They never got worse. As long as you dont have the black line running top to bottom you should be fine.
