So is there a verdit on the black spots? Is it just something that is the case with AMOLED displays?
I took a photo in a dark room the other day and had 2 black spots on the screen. Am thinking of taking it directly to Nokia to see if they know about it or not....

I think that probably someone should ask nokia. It could be an issue related to the way they glue the gorilla glass to the amoled screen - not homogeneous distributed glue. It is not necessary to be an electrical issue with the screen itself as when the screen is bright and the led's are on there is no black...

I just did some research, and A LOT of Galaxy users have the same issue.... So it definitely seems to be an issue with Samsung's production technique. Someone was saying that they've been doing a dodgy job with sealing the back of the screen.... Not sure i'll take it back now as it really is hardly noticeable, my case is nowhere near as bad as some of the pictures i've seen

Pg 6 & 8 in particular IIRC are pretty enlightening, but best to read it all.
IIRC it was already agreed that the black spots were probably a characteristic of AMOLED/production.
Unless someone beats me to it....
I may do a summary of it all soon, & then get the OP to update the 1st post.
It's getting too tedious, all the info/observations are too disjointed.

To me, it doesnt look too difficult as long as you have the right tools and patience. The replacement i got doesnt have the purple tint but definitley the dark spots which isnt bad if your not watching it in pitch dark. In my case, i rarely do. Just my two cents.

let me know what you guys think and whether you agree or not.
EDIT: Here is a link where you could find not only the display but also the Housing which looks white to me. So for those interested in customizing their 16GB nokia n9 to white, this may be the solution. Not sure though how reliable this site is: http://www.parts4repair.com/nokia-n9/

For the record it has nothing to do with the display being stuck on to the screen, as a lot of Galaxy phones are having the same issue
I'll drop by the Nokia store near mine and see if any of the repairers know anything about the issue

A little more research on this led me to this post in a forum:
"Last night, I spoke with my LCD PHD friend a bit more about this...
He said that OLED is made from a light producing organic plastic. Thus there will always be some variation to the brightness that is displayed throughout the screen. The only question is determining if yours is good enough or there is too much distortion. So all of the claims about getting replacements that are worse or just as bad, are right on. You just need to determine the relative quality of your phone's screen... but most people don't have anything to compare against."
