Default Possible screen issue?

I just picked up my nexus this morning and just noticed that my screen has a 1 pixel line that runs down the left side of the screen. It is very noticeable on white pages. I stopped by my bestbuy and checked out the demo and it has the same line... anyone else notice this?

Is it a greenish looking line when you view white or bright grey backgrounds when the brightness is low? My Vibrant has this, and I'm quite sure it's a consequence of the AMOLED RGBG pixel arrangement... just have to live with it.

I just don't see any green lines at all. Perhaps if you guys can get a screenshot, others will have a better idea of what you're talking about.

Yes, same thing on my Vibrant and any other 4" SAMOLED panel by Samsung, it's normal. Go to wikipedia and lookup pentile matrix display and look at the subpixel matrix arrangement of the Nexus 1 picture (RGBG) and you'll know why it's there.

(When the red, green and blue pixels are lit, the human eye perceives it as white, but at the edge, not a full RGBG pixel is there to make it look white, so it looks green to us since it's probably missing a red or a blue, and the human eye is more sensitive to seeing green)
