i do have a strange dotted line at the bottom of my screen, which seems to get larger slowly.
The dotted line is shown when the device is turned on/off.
It's not in the glass, but below the glass.

I wonder if anyone has seen this before.

i tried to make an image of it.

Me too although it doesn't bother me since it doesn't do anything to the viewing experience.

All, thank you for your replies.

I contacted Samsung support, and they informed me that it was no known issue on their devices.
If i want to have it repaired; i could sent it to Dynafix who does the repairs in my area, and they will check if it's a fabrication fault or an user fault.

I have sent the picuture to dynafix to see if they could say me something about it, though i am not sure if they will do this.

I will keep you updated.

Ouch, dynafix..... You usually get your device back in a condition worse than when it was when sent in.

Me too

I also have those at various points along the bottom. They don't bother me enough to risk sending the tablet in for service.

I have it too, not sure what caused it though!

The touchscreen is lifting from the tft, to which it's glued, causing air bubbles in the glue, IMO.

Maybe answer is that; however,the seller said that these dots are originated from the people that scratch or something when i see these dots on the Screen of tablets at showroom of Samsung. But i think there is a problem. After a while i think all note 2014 will be like that. I examined all of them in different stores. Guess what. All of them has that issue.

I think you should bring your tablets to be fixed.

Also , i have a question for everyone who has that issue, are your galaxy notes 10.1 black or white ? I saw this issue only on black ones' screens. Are you using your tablets in fully brightness? Because i realized that it begins warming rapidly and more at bottom of the screen which is so close to the dotted place.

No issue here.
Is your tablet black or white? Do you use it when it is charged, frequently? Almost how long have you been using your tablet?

Brightness setting is in the middle. Yes I use it alot everyday for work. The screen is mostly always on and I charge it mid day in the office and still use it while charging. Sometimes the screen gets warm when being used and charged at the same time. Been using this tablet since November

Tnx for your replies,
I bought it in january. no dots observed yet. I also have black model. I dont use in charge. I use it portable way when it is not charging. I am so angry with samsung because of that issue. They had made really big mistake and they dont accept their faulty. They even dont try to fix this issue for next generations.

At first I was bothered by it.. but now not so much. Good thing the dots are on the bottom of the screen and you wont notice it when using the tablet. Yes still samsung should fix this issue

I had the exact same issue with my first note I bought in November. Ended up returning it to the retailer about 6 weeks into use and buying a new one I've had for about 6 weeks so far as well. No issue on the 2nd one as far as I can tell right now but this seems like another common problem.

If these bubbles/dots are caused by the reasons i mentioned earlier, they align with the colored rim of the touchscreen, because the color layer increases thickness of the glass by some nanometers. Going towards the center of the screen, the gap narrows because of adhesive force bending the glass. This should prevent the bubbles/dots from wandering inwards. Otherwise there's a huge issue with the device, though mine is (still) fine.

I noticed these dots on my white note after I got it back from battery repair. Not sure if it was there but I have 3 clusters of bubbles now

since yesterday i've this strange line as well. It came out of nowhere. After reading this tread @yararli could be right about something. Normally I use my screen about 25% brightness. Yesterday I watched a episode at almost 100% brightness. So there could be a causality between the brightness en warming-up which result in this strange line. My tablet is black bought it around december.

Is there any news about returns? Will there repair this problem or give a new tablet?
