IPHONE 5 Display (colored static)

Is anyone seeing colored static randomly on IPHONE 5 display? This has happened twice in the last 5 hours...One the location services icon in the top right was covered in multi-color static. I also had a colored static line across the center of the display while in the App Store.

iPhone 5, iOS 6

This is normal. When it draws graphics, you will occasionally see this. It also happens on the 4s.

I don't think this is normal at all. I just talked to Verizon about it. they want me to take the phone to a store to confirm the screen has no physical external damage. Once they do that, a replacement is on the way. Mine happens mostly in the bottom 25% of the screen. You can see videos of this on YouTube if you search for iphone 5 static screen
