What store did you buy it from? I seen a lot of complaints about this from folks who purchased at retail stores. Mine was purchase from Google and still waiting on it.

Got it from Sam's club.
I only have the problem when I use the device for long time. I was charging it for couple hours then when I turned it on the screen was fine but after 15 minutes of reading the spots came back.

I also got mine from Sams last Friday (Mckinney, Texas) and its perfect with no issues or blemishes. Well, except for having to find a work around for Flash, but that goes without saying. Lol A little fiddling around fixed that though.

U can see the tint on the bottom left also on the whole left edge of the screen.

The unit I got from Sams is fine. Sad to see yours isn't.

I went back to Sam's club and they looked at the device and saw the yellow spots on the screen. It took me 15 minutes to walk out of the door with a new unit.
Let's hope this doesn't happen to anyone.

Weird. Did it get smashed or overheated?

Not at all!!
The tint appeared after about one hour of using it, and it gets worse when you use it more than that!!!

Here is a pic

This was the first thing i noticed when using my Nexus 7 for a couple of hours. Two spots in two corners, very noticeble with white background.

However I remember hearing about other devices with LCD screens having the same problem initially (iphone 4 one of the devices if I remember) but would dissapear over time. So I thought I would give it some time.

The next day I couldn't see any of the spots and I've not seen it since. This was two weeks ago.

Mine seem to get worse the longer I use the device. I called support and they are issuing me an RMA for "yellowing", but the cart-link system was down and I was instructed to call again tomorrow.
