i have the same problem and samsung have refused to change it , they say it is because of moisture !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, it will never go , i am left with a useless tablet , went out and bought an ipad , although i dont like apple systems , always been an adroid guy , I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A SAMSUNG PRODUCT AGAIN , and we used to buy over 20 laptops a months from samsung for my company ! be careful with this tablet very careful !
place a sucker (german: Saugnapf) onto the defect on the screen. If you pull on the sucker the hole display removes from the panel under it and the spot will disapear. do you understand?
I just started seeing this myself 2 days ago. A shame cause I love this tablet. One person said it got worse turing the screen pink. Anyone else seeing this get worse or going away?
It seems to be a problem with the internal components coming in contact with one another... it can be duplicated on normal GTabs by squeezing it slightly. It isn't caused by dropping.
Don't know about Staples, but Best Buy had no problem replacing it even without buying their extra warranty. I absolutely love the tablet so it's sad to see some having this problem on an otherwise beautiful display.
got the same problem. not too visible on mine but annoying. got the new exchange from staples yesterday and so far no newton's rings. hope that one is good for good. btw: bought that with $100 off coupon from staples.
I am seeing this on two different units. Posted a link to this video on the Samsung Service channel ( samsungservice ). We will see if we get an answer, since the Samsung Live Chat agent was unable to help (or to see the video to even see what I was talking about).
Same problem here. The mark grew longer after two weeks. I suspect some internal parts is touching the screen thereby transferring heat to screen. The mark is especially noticeable when tab is held upside down (screen facing floor) when it got warm.
I'm returning it for an exchange. Hopefully it won't appear on the next one.
It's probably the the 'touch part' of the screen touching the actual screen (LCD)

Is it an air on screen protector?
If not, it's probably something that I also had on my SGT7500
That called "newton ring" or "water mark"
it happen because the change of temperature and pressure (or so I read)
you can go to Samsung Care Center bringing the box and the buying slip
they'll replace yours with the new one.
Hope it help :)

Fucking Samsung. "The best Honeycomb tablet on the market." oh yeah and it has a major defect.
I just cancelled the tablet that is being shipped to my house. Getting the ASUS Eee Pad Transform instead.
