Some Google Nexus 7 displays suffer from “image retention” problems, pre-production units only affected?
Share:
The issue is officially referred to as “image retention,” an effect of having the last thing you saw on your screen before switching to something else remain visible as a shadow. The shadowing effect is something that actually is typical for IPS displays, but on the Nexus 7 pre-production units it’s manifesting itself more frequently.
On some IPS display you can still see for a short time a shadowy trace of your previous screen IF you switch from say black to white screen, or places with similarly big contrast. On the Nexus 7, though, this is happening even when there’s no such huge color tonality difference.
Android Police contacted Asus for a comment, and the company reassured that the issue could not be replicated on final units, so there shouldn’t be any problems. Let’s keep our fingers crossed all is fine on the production Nexus 7 tablet units.

Not when your switching from one screen to another.
Burn in on amoled are from objects that are stationary for many months (ie status bar, home icons etc)
My captivate and S2 still do not have any burnin issues.
I did use a 3rd party launcher with hide notification/status bar option)

I hope that this won't be a problem like the "burn in" on some amoled screens

There is nothing wrong with your tablet, you're looking at it wrong.
