I've just noticed this weird thing about the display on my Nexus 7.
I love downloading wallpapers and so far have not encountered any problems. But just today, it being nearly Winter, I decided to get some wallpapers with a snow theme - I downloaded them from Google Images by touching the image and selecting 'download image', being careful to select only images that were 1920 x 1080 pixels.
But when I set them as wallpaper, there are shadowy bands down the left and right sides of each image, just like what photographers would call 'vignetting' or 'light fall-off'. I then checked that it wasn't these new images by taking images I'd already used as wallpaper and had not had a problem with, and those shadowy bands are still there. I even tried the Nexus 7's built-in wallpapers and still get this.
I'd thought that maybe this was a 'feature' - that maybe it was there so that app icons on the sides of the screen would stand out better - but if so, you should be able to switch it off. I've gone to settings - display and there doesn't seem to be a control for it.
Has anyone got any idea of what's happening here? Thanks.
