Hi guys, just got my PSV yesterday (3G HK) and noticed that my screen has some weird vertical lines when displaying grey/brownish colors? The lines are very tiny and only noticeable if you look at the screen closely. Just wondering if this is only me or do other people notice it too? Easiest way to see them is to hold down the power button and on the shut down screen you can see the tiny lines. Or change your background color to the brown one to see the lines.

Hey, tried this out for myself and yes! I have the same problem with my screen too! Easy to see in a dark room and you have a black wallpaper. Looks like black spots/smudges everywhere D: can anyone else confirm???

I noticed my screen has multiple vertical lines especially when displaying a grey picture. The lines are very small but noticeable if you look at your screen very closely. Is this normal for OLED screen? Easiest way to test is hold down the power button until the grey screen comes up. I can see the lines on my PSV

Hmmm I think it must be the OLED screen property. The OLED pixel arrangement is like vertical lines, maybe thats why can see those lines on the screen. Always see them especially when I play Uncharted with a grey/dark scenery. Oh well, at least no dead pixels!

One is still acceptable. Its not considered as defect

I think I have a problem with my OLED screen. I've brought this up in an earlier post but now with attached image for you guys to see. Wonder if anyone else has the same problem??? Can see some vertical lines all over my screen. Most noticeable in the middle there... Only happens with grey/brown colors. Can't see with bright colors.

Opps sorry, here is the photo: http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff131/M...ayer0/photo.jpg

Anyone else have this problem???

Its not a flickering/freezing issue. The lines are always there but only when displaying grey/brown pictures :/

I am also having inconsistency with Near. Mine is 3G model. At my home, using wifi, can't detect my location already tried 10 times haha. But when I go to my friend's place can detect straight away lol. I don't have SIM card installed yet so its pretty much wifi only. Still don't understand what's the problem.

lol problem is there's no way of getting a replacement for me since I bought this in s'pore and wont be returning there anymore xD

I can't return it because I bought it overseas lol. Other people have reported such issues with their screens too and also on other mobile devices using OLED technology. I think it's pretty Common...
