^Interesting find...
Maybe konttori can tell us how to check w/o relying on an "app".

So the purple lines are because of it being 16 bit? If so this can be solved via software update right?

check it with different brightness levels. with and without charger cable in. and also different power save settings. it may be a combination of brightness levels and powersave options people have make it more visible for some and less for others.

I've got the purple lines on my display as well, but they don't really bother me. It appears to only show up on a bright/white background with a dark foreground (text, image, etc). Looks like some sort of shadow. Funny thing is I never really noticed this, so I didn't know to look for it until I saw this thread.
What I don't like is the screen's 16 bits per pixel. The gradients (e.g. the Nokia one when you power up the phone) look washed out. Hope this can be sorted out in PR 1.1.

I hardly ever use the device in bright daylight where high brightness settings are useful. My N9 sleeps mostly during the day and lives at night.
I didn't find any difference between low brightness with or without powersaving enabled. Also, I don't notice a difference when the charger's plugged in.

The dark spots on black background are there but so there were on my old i8910 so I think it's a AMOLED thing. They are really only noticeable on pitch dark room with pitch black screen so I won't bother.
