white spot on new Hi12 dualboot tablet

[Terrence G F]

I have the Windows 10-only version of the tablet (ordered from banggood a week before the dual-boot version was available, unfortunately). It also has a small white, cloudy spot on the screen. It’s about 2mm in diameter. It’s annoying. I thought it might be due to the screen protector, but I removed that. No change.

Sad to hear that this is a problem for other users.

It’s not a dead pixel it’s a bright little spot. The colors still work normally but on a white background the spot appears especially bright and on a black background it’s a little subtle bright dot. (On a black background it appears like a greyish color.) It’s not a single pixel, it looks like about 3 pixels and it sort of fades, it’s not a sharp 3 pixel block that immediately stops it fades out over the course of about 3 pixels. It kind of looks like the backlight is super bright in that area for some reason.
I think it’s the pressure marks, something is pressing on the back panel of the LCD screen causing this kind of bright areas. It’s not dead pixels.

Is it easy to open the tablet and look under the screen?

Thanks.

I actually had this issue on another tablet (iwork8). I figured, don’t use white background and learn to live with it vs hassle of getting it changed. After 1-2 weeks, the screen totally died. I don’t know if its related but you just reminded me abt that white spot.
