Ipod touch - Glittery screen !

Those ARE stuck pixels. If you have it less than 14 days, HURRY up to the store you got it from and get it replaced. I went through 5 before I found a perfect one. Avoid serial numbers starting with 9Cxxxx. The one I have which is perfect starts with 1Axxxx. Also don't forget to restore it before taking it back cos I see it's jailbroken 🙂.

You can't see stuck pixels in other colors other than black bc they are actually white making it very difficult to see. DEAD pixels can be seen more easily in pure color screens bc they're black. I know what I'm talking about bc I have been through FIVE iPTs with the SAME problem as yours. They ARE stuck pixels. Exchange it!

no thats not an issue
those bleeding edges just creates a horrific experience on the black reproduction part.

But to the guy who made this, those are too specific to be stuck pixels, and some of the green/blue on the icons are still showing. I think there might be something wrong with ur hardware or software. If restoring it does not work, than return it. !

Mine does appear glittery as well, including the glow down the side, and the blacks have a slight green or red tint to them.

If I want to return it, does it have to be taken back to an Apple Store, or can I take it to an 'Authorized Apple Reseller'?

Its NOT dead or stuck pixels.....I posted before about 'green sparkles'.
They are microscopic particle which catch the backlight....they vary in size (pixels do not) and as you angle the screen they come and go and also change colour from red to green to blue at the specs sit over different sub-pixels dependant on screen angle and viewers eye line.
A stuck sub-pixel will remain lit and very obviouse on a black screen regardless of angle and backlight brightness. Some people maybe really unlucky and have both but they are distinctly different. One is a screen fault Stuck/dead pixels) and one (the sparkles) are an assembly issue. I have an 8gig week 38 and a 16 gig week 38 one is a 1D38 and one a 1A38. I also had the thought that the particles may be present in the coatingon the front membrane of the LCD and a manufacturing fault direct from whoever makes these screens for apple. I have kept both units as they are only noticable on max backlight (that washes out the blacks) and with your nose pressed against the screen. Trust me having had 3 MacbookPro's with stuck pixels and 2 Macbooks with the same i'm well aware what they look like and this particular issue is NOT stuck or dead pixels.

You don't make any sense. If it's a microscopic issue, don't you need a microscope to see it? In all I care, these sparkles which can be seen in dark images don't move, they have the same color at all times consenquently stuck to their very specific area ARE stuck pixels. Discussing their real name is silly, the guy has a screen problem for all we care and he should replace the thing. That's all. I don't care if their description is stuck pixel, John or Mary. It's a screen defect point blank.

If it bothers you and your within the 14 days return period.....take it back....I know from my own experiance with a variety of different apple hardware that 'perfect' is the exception and not the rule.

I have an appointment at the genius bar tomorrow concerning my touch (serial no. 1B741...)

My screen looks glittery at the home screen, and when I view photos or videos, the blacks show up very badly - they appear as black and grey dots instead of one smooth colour. When I first got the iPod the picture was fine, so hopefully I'll get a replacement.

Another note, I bought this iPod in New York, and I live in the UK, and the Meadowhall Apple Store have no problem with looking at it and replacing it if necessary according to the manager who I called earlier today.

I will post when I get back with the result and whether anyone else with this problem can hope to get their touch repaired or replaced.

Just got back from the Apple Store - the guy at the Genius bar said that he couldn't see anything wrong with it, but I was within 14 days of purchase and so I exchanged it no questions asked, even though I bought it from NY and returned it to Meadowhall, Sheffield.

I agree it's not stuck pixels. Pixels are ALL THE SAME SIZE, the picture shows DIFFERENT SIZES of what he is describing. I would say it is just dust or something of that degree behind the screen being reflected by the backlight. It could also be the backlight reflecting off of the coating they put on the screen.

Geez... Have you had 5 iPTs with stuck pixels like I have? Yeah the picture shows different sizes but how do u know if they are the same size or not? The picture is certainly not a professional pic and all you the see is the light glowing from the stuck pixels. How can you measure glow? That I'd like to know.
