from play store: asus changed stuff

[cammykool]

i called gplay to check on my order and we were chatting and the topic of replacements came up i asked so what are the issues with them?

he said screen lift and bad screens and he went on to say asus has changed how the screen is fused to the LCD and the LCD is held to the body so lets see how that works

That's good news. I'm just waiting on my refund to get another one.

I read this today and may be the problem with screens.

The challenge of coming up with the Nexus 7 in such a short timescale was clearly daunting.

Yeh says “The device had to be thin and light, with a weight under 340 grams. So to get that lightness, normally the CPU would be small [low-powered]. But to get media playback, and particularly high definition media, the processor has to be powerful. The strong CPU in a very small space is difficult. And also the screen: you want it to be very responsive and also to have multitouch. So normally the LCD should be thick.”

Yeh also spoke about the display and the unusual lamination process “The traditional way to make a tablet touchscreen actually uses four pieces of glass…..with the one glass solution, we put together the protective glass and the sensor glass. So the sensor is just a film attached to the glass, to make it thinner. And that also makes it lighter.”

You have to wonder if the reported Nexus 7 screen separation issue or the ghosting issues have something to do with the unique design process. Perhaps the rush to market resulted in a less than perfect device. Although, it is worth pointing out that neither issue is particularly serious. - Android Authority
