There weren't very many concerns. It'll be okay.

Ignorance is bliss. If you don't know what to look for you won't be dissapointed . None of my friends were happy when I pointed it out to them. Your chances are not good as at least 4 out of 5 have the inferior screens. I've probably inspected thoroughly about 40 of them.

There was some complaining but not a LOT. Some people think that a 7 series screen is better than a 5 series screen, but if you read this thread, the screens are ALL 7 series. One person even points out that it took him 14 phones to get a perfect one. I find that hard to believe, but I guess anything is possible.

Black Screen??

I hope this will help you.

My 7 screen rocks, but that's my subjective opinion, of course.

I think the whole 5 screen vs 7 screen issue is really overblown, anyway.

Also look for dead pixels; spots on the screen that don't move when something on the phone happens.
