#newton ring

Right on the heel of the release of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 in the Philippines, we received a couple of reports of an "oil slick" problem appearing on the screen of the tablets. The "oil slick" or "Newton ring" is some sort of liquid blotch that appears on the screen as shown in the photo below: The issue appears to be caused by heat from the device and becomes worse with prolonged use. This one is for the Galaxy Tab 10.1: Have you heard of the oil slick or newton ring issue on the Galaxy 10.1 which was released about a week ago?
