I recently noticed on my screen that it seems to not be working 100% correctly. Specifically, there seems to be a line of "dead space" about 1-2 MM in width running along the top and bottom edge of the screen between the lit-up LCD and the black top/bottom bezels.

If you turn on you iphone and looks at it with light shining on it, can you see a thin strip of the LCD screen that appears to not be lighting, or is it all lighting right up to the black bezel?

I would have never noticed that without shining a light in there. It goes all the way around. It's supposed to be there.

Agreed, looks like a band of 4-5 pixels along all 4 sides that don't light up at all.

Thanks for replying. I also got to see another iPhone and saw that it does. I just can't believe I never noticed before. I suppose it was because I was outside using it a lot last week and it's really noticeable in direct sunlight.
