LOL...and 2 more will say I'm whining.
I didn't name names.
I got no beef with you and agree you are coming around to seem balanced. I have no idea what others experience was. It really doesn't matter in the long wrong. My experience on 4.2.1 was sh1t. I don't care if the whole world posted that it was great it wouldn't change my experience. I think that is the thing everyone that is only smelling roses is missing here. If Google shipped you a device that you couldn't believe they sent you for $400-500 your tune would change and rightfully so. Even if you think you are changing perspective or balancing the equation or whatever it still doesn't matter if they get one that is jacked up. They are gonna say, damn, just like the forums said.
In fairness 4.2.2 has straightened mine out so far. However, after reading some posts of others and the issue list it seems like the clock is ticking on my uptime.
Dude, I got no idea. I don't see dark blotches on the screen just the lighter smudge. I pushed on the back of the screen a little and it doesn't get worse? Like I said, I don't do dark movies or games, mainly reading so on a mostly white background you don't notice.
That's not whining. Your screen looks terrible. Not even just the blotches. The backlight bleed is horrific in every corner.
