Help Nexus 4 screen ghosting

There doesn't seem to be much on the internet about this and I'm not sure if my Nexus 4 has been like this since day one or not...

My Nexus 4 suffers from appalling ghosting. It is usually noticeable when an app with white icons is closed and a dark background is open afterwards.

For instance I have a grey background on my home screen and if I close the Twitter app, I can see the white search icon, write tweet icon and three dots menu icon for quite some time after I press home. I'm talking like a slow fade over 10 seconds here.

I'm wondering if I have a defective unit as there is so little chat about this (one on XDA without many replies which wasn't started by me.).

Anybody else with me on this one?
 
I got mine from O2 UK which means sending it off and living with a crappy replacement till it comes back.

I prefer Google's way of sending you a new one then you send yours back. Even with the held funds.

Google do this?

My phone has blacked out a few times and turned itself off. If it does it again I'm considering sending it back and trying to get a replacement.

Do you think they'll do it? I've had my Nexus for just under 2 months I think now.
