I just initiated an RMA with New Egg for the light bleeding issue. From reading threads it looks like its a crapshoot on whether the replacement is better or worse... :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatlocker:
I have a little bit of bleed right under the white power LED. It is not enough to cause me concern in any way. Sure, I have (*had*) a dead dock, but my Transformer main unit has zero defects at all, with the exception of what I mentioned above.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wodude:
Isnt newegg a 30 day return policy for it? Or am i mistaken
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
I've had my transformer a few days and now I also see some bleed, I'm sure it wasn't there before.

I bought mine from Comet and may see if they'll exchange it, but from what I've read it sounds like most Eee pads suffer with light bleed.

Edit: Hmm, it doesn't look so noticable in normal light.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
Just be aware that it is a lottery. My first had an annoying patch on the bottom left, so I thought I'd exchange it. The next one was MUCH worse, AND it had 14+ stuck pixels. I'm on my 4th and have a good screen now, but it has the glass gap problem, although that doesn't worry me enough to return it.

If the light bleed is minor and you are otherwise happy I'd consider sticking with the one you have.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiffyDivine:
I did notice it on mine but only when I was looking for it and only at max brightness. Doesn't bother me since I had to go looking for the flaw to find it and 20 mins later I had forgotten where it was so mine is really a non issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
The lottery aspect is a concern, .

Sent from my Transformer TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipulaski:
ditto here. I noticed it first time last night at the start up screen where asus logo is displayed on a dark screen -- couldnt nptice it at all unless all the lights are turned off. it is so minor and almost un-noticeable.

Have we seen any cases where it gets worse? I'm afraid if it gets worse once the return eligible period of 30 days is past. Bought it from BestBuyBusiness.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
I've posted in another thread about my TF outcome, but the possibility of it worsening (because, after all it wasn't there before) was of concern to me. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but the TF case doesn't seem to be the sturdiest but I suppose that's a trade off for weight, cost etc and the one I owned had a slight flex in the case, the light bleed would appear in other places with a little pressure.

I've got a refund now but I'd like another TF, I just don't want one if it has light bleed. Yes, I hear that the IPS screens seem to be prone to this (iPad 2 ), but for the thick end of £400 I'd like to be happy with my purchase.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noiz:
I've had my Transformer since the first half of April and then last night, as if out of nowhere, I noticed some bleed. I'd swear blind that it wasn't there before, it's like it's developed over time.

Like others here I don't like having defects in my (expensive) products, no matter how minor so I'm tempted to return it but I'm not sure I'd be any better off. And if this has developed over time there's no saying any replacement wouldn't do the same.

So torn!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
Purely speculative but are the Transformer internals likely to get hot with use, does charging overnight cause excess heat? I'm wondering if any heat from internal components might slighly distort the shape of the TF's plastic body, just enough to let a bit of light through the screen gasket ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] int_19h:
Mine has light bleed - a patch on the bottom edge and two smaller ones on the right (in docked position). However, I only notice them when it boots and the screen is pitch black except for the logo. I don't quite understand why I don't notice the bottom one during normal operation - isn't the status bar black also? Also tried some YouTube videos, and it's not a problem there either. Weird, but I'm glad it works for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotto:
I have some at the bottom near the connector and on the right side, if I squeeze my TF the patches intensify but they are really barely noticeable you have to look for them. I'm quite relieved because this potential issue really put me off getting an iPad2 (plus the Apple control freakery), and to an extent made me wary of the TF. In truth I barely notice the issue on mine though obviously it would be wonderful not to have any at all but nothings perfect :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustindw:
tl;dr Amazon refunds 25% of Transformer price ($99.75)

Just a quick update on my experience. I started off noticing a spot on the bottom and a spot on the right side of the screen... now, I see two spots on the bottom, one on each side, and some lighter spots on the top. It seems like it has gotten worse ... but it is possible that I just didn't notice the other spots earlier. Ultimately, throughout normal use, it doesn't tend to bother me. It is only when really dark images are up or I'm watching some video (like many others have stated). To see it in a noticeable manner, brightness needs to be bumped up pretty high and being in a darker room or environment helps it to stand out.

I emailed Amazon asking them if they would be able to extend my return window so that I could wait until they got more stock (if they ever do). They asked me to get in touch with Asus and see what my options were with them (obviously, they would allow me to send it in for repair). Asus did indeed say that I could send it in for repair.

I replied back to Amazon telling them I contacted Asus and mentioned how I was a little disappointed that I had to ship back a brand new product to the manufacturer to get it repaired.

Amazon then presented me with two options.

Option 1) Return it to them - they stated that they know the product was not in stock and they said that it has been selling out fast - so ultimately they couldn't guarantee me a replacement would be available. With that said, getting a new Transformer with less light bleed sounds like something that may still be a challenge.

Option 2) They said that if I'd be willing to work with Asus on it, they would credit me back $99.75 (25% the purchase price of the tablet) . This was an interesting offer indeed!

I could ultimately live with it the way that it was, so the thought of getting almost $100 back (making the tablet a $300 purchase) was very appealing. If the screen actually does get worse, then I can continue to work with Asus and send it in for repair. I think I'm going to watch the forums here though and see how repairs are working for people here in a few months. I'm hoping that Asus can get their act together and replace these screens with ones that don't have this issue. I'd hate to send it off to get fixed, only to get it back with a screen that is worse.

Anyway - I emailed Asus back tonght and told them I'd take option #2 - and within an hour or so I got a reply saying that they were going to process the refund. I just received confirmation of it a little while ago.

I have to say - hats off to Amazon for this one... it was extremely nice of them to refund 25% of the price of the Transformer. I didn't realize they took that kind of action! Amazon continues to do things that make me want to purchase everything from them.

Has anyone had a similar experience?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denverseven:
It's very interesting you should say that. Because I had no light bleed on the first day I bought the tablet. (I am very picky and usually use it in a dark setting like watching a movie with no lights on) But then I noticed the tablet heats up with use and especially during charging. And now the spots have appeared.

I should say they are not that bad....yet? I sure hope they don't get worse. Here are two photos of my tablet.

Just like one of the guys on this forum said, taking a photograph overexposes the shot and glorifies the bleed. Actually it's not as bad as it looks but to picky me, every little bit is bad.

I think I will return it to the store and wait a month, maybe more, and see if they start shipping properly made tablets. (hurts on the inside to let go, haha)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarol:
Do what I said, get another one in a month or two and return the worst of the two. I doubt they will actually compare serial numbers of the devices themselves. They send these "defective" units back to the manufacturer anyways.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowballz69:
I have light bleed in the same exact spots? Do all transformers have the bleed near the 2 screws?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
Personally I would not return that device if the only issue is that amount of light bleed. I would say 3 out of 4 of mine have had worse bleed than that and my current one, which is the best, is almost identical.

Just my tuppence, but based on seeing a number of these. There is no guarantee that this is something that will ever be addressed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] songmeesay:
I have them in those spots as well, with the most being in the bottom right corner. Nowhere else though. I don't mind when doing things like internet and and stuff, but when watching movies I put the brightness to 90% (I do this because it's comparable to my iPad 2's brightness at 60%) and the light bleed becomes very apparent.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timtlm:
Has anyone sent theirs back to Asus and had them repair it? I've scanned through this thread, and I see a few people have started the process, but has anyone got theirs back yet? I'm wondering how good of a job they do, if the light bleed is completely gone, and how long it takes.

I have some light bleed issues. One of the spots is noticeable almost all the time, and it is really starting to bother me since the IPS screen is supposed to be so nice. The spot is in the middle/right side like I've seen in several examples here. However, mine is pretty bad. I have no problem sending it back to Asus at some point to get it fixed. If they do a good job, I see this as a better option than hitting the exchange lottery and hoping for a good one. I'm wondering if they will have to replace the whole screen, or if they have some better way of sealing the existing screen to get rid of the light bleed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustindw:
I am also interested in hearing about Asus repair experiences for this problem. If reports start sounding positive in terms of getting the screen replaced with one that doesn't bleed, then I can see sending mine in to get fixed at some point. If they come back no better than they were when they were sent in, then it is likely not worth it.

I tryed to dissacemble the transformer by taking the screws.out.in the bottom but i think the back of the transformer is glued to the bezel. im sure.once i get it open i can find the light bleed issue. Possibly screen to tight or a gap where the bleed is
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
Yeah, I think the light bleed is caused by twisting/pressure on the screen and that fits in with the idea of the screws being too tight.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timtlm:
So, I wanted to illustrate how bad one of the light bleed spots I have is. This is less than half brightness on not even a completely black screen. It should be obviousbehere the spot is. Also, there is more light bleed besides that, but less noticeable.

Sorry about it not being rotated. I rotated it in my gallery before I uploaded it, but tapatalk didn't keep it rotated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Too tight? Would it be too lose?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
Kermode,

It is just a guess, but I think small, intense areas of bleed may be caused by by a slight ripple in the screen which could be caused by some area of the case/glass/frame putting pressure on the screen, bending it slightly. I could, of course, be completely wrong..... :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowballz69:
Correct u can rid of light bleed by twisting or putting pressure away from the bleed. Prob nothing asus can do cua they can't ship a loose device lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
But if its only some regions, then build the whole device like those regions!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamjt:
Received my transformer from wal mart. I have light bleed on the right side and one bad spot on the bottom. I can't live with the bottom one as its right across from the toolbar and pretty bright. Has anyone received a good one back from RMA yet?

I hate to return it without getting a replacement (not in stock), but the return policy at walmart is only 15 days for tablets:(

My nook color has some light bleed to, but its similar to what I have on the right side of the transformer, faint but there, so I can live with it. Wish there was an easy way to open it up and seal it with some black felt or something.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadoc:
Same here. Love the tablet overall but the lightbleed which is noticeable as soon as it is night time at home with no lights on all along the lower part of the tab worst at right. IT is a bit distracting while viewing. I also have a nook color and it has 1 central bottom spot of light bleed. But that spot is only viewable on high brightness and so other than boot screen I never see it as in the dark I never view at that brightness.

The Asus light bleed is seen even on lowest brightness.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Need-A-Tablet:
I checked my tablet the first day I had it for light bleed, brightness was at default of around 50% and I noticed no bleed. I have since kept it under 40% as I don't need anything higher, and last night at about 1am I noticed multiple spots along the bottom. While they aren't massive or overly distracting, it is still unacceptable. And to think how much the light bleed has progressed in under a week, I can only assume it will get worse. The light bleed paired with it only being able to play 1080p baseline profile movies is a little underwhelming for my $400... I don't have 1000's of hours of spare time to re-encode my movie collection and the thought of this light bleeding issue getting worse over time is really bothersome.

Can I get a full refund from NewEgg or will I have to pay a restocking fee? I would even accept a full store credit.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laz0r:
A major thing for me when I flash a ROM is the smoothness of the notification bar when you pull it down. I have noticed that certain ROMs have very smooth notification bars while others simply don't, like Continuum or Phoenix. Is there a particular reason for this? I have noticed that earlier froyo builds have are a bit smoother as well. I would like to use some other rooms but this is forcing me back to a few others like Cognition 3.04. Is there anything I can do to help with this? I have tried using Setiron's, which is the fastest for me, and it helps slightly but it is a bit outdated and bad on battery. What causes the smoothness to be so different on one specific thing?
