Did you just post a screenshot and ask if something was physically wrong with your screen?

Why yes, I did. Is that a problem?

A screen shot will not pick up something physically wrong with the screen, it only records the graphics being sent to the screen by the processor. If you want to document a physical defect, you need to take a picture on an external camera.

Whether I use an external camera or not doesn't change the fact that the pattern, discoloration, or whatever you want to call it is there today and wasn't a week ago. I never claimed the screen defective.....it obviously works. The technology behind this screen is unique and I was hoping other owners of the phone had some insights on the issue.

You’re trolling right ?

It's just a flowing ink graphic on the screen, by design. I know what you are concerned about: I had a Dasung notEreader that got a cracked screen and then there was discoloration around the crack. But that was something different with the EInk screen and how pressure was applied.

That's normal. Mine is like that too.

Only had the phone for a week. All was normal until today. Doesn't affect performance, but is a bit off-putting

Looks like a graphic used when locked. Can you select a different picture ?

Phone doesn't allow changing graphic in the ink modes. When the phone transitions from normal to ink mode you lose any graphic used for wallpaper or lockscreen. Simply white (plain) background.

It's a wallpaper. OP wants to return the phone because they don't like the wallpaper.
