If you recently rushed out to be one of the first with the latest generation in Zune goodness you may want to sit up and pay attention. Reports of OLED funkiness have been cropping up on those shiny new Zune HD’s. While it isn’t a widespread problem…yet…as more people pick up Microsoft’s latest the issue could grow troublesome. The video clearly shows that while the touchscreen controls are in fact still functioning, something goes horribly awry once the white mask kicks in. As can be seen above, one the white mask of doom kicks in roughly 28 seconds into the clip, the display bites it and becomes a nasty, blinding display of awfulness. Currently, Microsoft is mum on the issue (though we have contacted them) meaning any insight as to whether this is hardware or software related is pure speculation for now. Regardless, if this happens to you, take it back and get a new one. Anyone else experiencing these issues?

    From what i have heard this is only a software problem and not a hardware if it was a hardware the screen would be white from the secound u turn it on but it is fine then become white i beleive this is a software based problem.
