Has anyone had issues with their 8.4 inch display screen bubbling? It's the best word to describe what I'm seeing. Almost as a layer is beginning to separate. It's smooth to the touch but very visible.

This is stupid and no offense, but is there a protective film on there you never peeled off?

That's actually a very valid question. My last smart phone - had for a good month and always felt like it had a tacky screen. Then one day got a massive scratch in it that broke my heart. Then I realized there was the factory cling wrap still on it. I didn't tell a soul this happened until now. And how many people still have the scratch film around the edges of the living room TV's

Valid question but that was the first thing I checked for and unfortunately it is not on there.

Just throwing this out there.... hand sanitizer (the alcohol in it). I'm relentless with it still, but I'm very careful not to spill it or touch anything till it's dry. You'd be amazed what a few drops of that crap will do to our leather interior,let alone a touchscreen.

Good point. But I rarely ever use that stuff. Makes sense as to why it could harm the screen though.

Too late now for you, but I put on a glass screen protector on mine on day 1. Just like one you would put on your phone. They sell them on Amazon.
You don't mention warranty, are you still under warranty? This could be a warranty item. I hope you get it resolved.

It is under warranty. I've been wanting to go bring it in just been very busy. Also dealing with an exhaust leak I'll need to get checked out.

you can see in the top corners and how it goes down the side.
I dobt think an aftermarket screen protector would have prevented this.

Well it's going into the shop next week. They better uphold the warranty to get it replaced or they won't like my attitude lol
Touch screen digitizers are normally made of glass. I have never seen a digitizer delaminating and I work with them every day. That looks like precision cut screen protector to me. Stick a needle in one of the corners and try to lift it up.
Our factory touchscreens are not glass

At least, the surface isn't glass

How do y'all know this? My understanding is the vast majority of LCD screens are a glass sandwich.
