Launch day iPhone with a 7 series screen here. While I can see the dots, I have to hold the screen up very close to my eyes and tilt it at a certain angle. Nothing to complain about, at least on my screen.
Got a tip for us?

Same here, i got to compare my iphones screen quality to my friends 5. i prefer my iphones screen. His was a lot brighter like everyone has said, and mines had much nicer contrast. I didnt get to see what the brightness was set on his, but i keep mine at about 1/3 and its still really bright.
No defects at all, just personal preference. Under normal use, you cant see the pattern. I keep my brightness at 40% MAX, any more toasts my eyes. I have a 7, my buddy a 5. The difference is so marginal most people wouldnt know. On a micro level, I prefer the 7, videos pop a little more as do photos. Again, marginal though...

5* and i think i may have one dead pixel in the middle of my screen
if i look at it from straight above it looks like a dead pixel but if i look at it from the side it looks like its a "floating black dot" in the middle of the glass, idk if its really a dead pixel or just a reallly micro size piece of dust. (i have a screen protector on it)

Tox - I just discovered the same thing last night in the corner of the screen. It looks like it's on the protector but I can't get it off. I'm banking on the spec being between glass & shield but I don't want to peel up this corner to find out. If you figure it out, pls post.
I can't imagine there'd be a spec IN the glass layers?

iDay and got a "5". Looks very clear, no dots (grainy look), and no dead pixels as far as I can tell.
I have a 7 series. I can see the dots if I look REALLY close up on the screen, but they are not nearly as apparent as some of the photos I've seen here. I have to be nose-to-screen with mine to notice them. That said, I THOUGHT I could notice dots in the same way when I stared at a 5 series screen at an Apple store. I've also seen some 5's at the Apple store whose screens looked bright, but seriously washed out (unable to produce a solid black without the white of the backlight leaking through).
That said, I don't notice this at all in my daily use. I've noticed no other defects, so I'm certainly not going to return it and demand a 5.
I have a couple of high-res cameras (including a Hassleblad with a PhaseOne P45) so I'm going to try and image my 7* over the weekend, and see what the camera finds.

Mine is 7455232
Everything looks great except for very dark scenes in videos - where I get the negative black effect that people have been reporting with the iPod Touches. Not sure if I'm keeping it or if I'll try to exchange it yet.
EDIT: forgot to mention that I bought mine about 10 days ago. Anybody else having the negative black problem with a recently purchased iPhone?

Are these 7 series phones still sold in stores?
or are all stores just stocking the 5 series ones now?
