Finally, I returned my second one a couple hours ago and I'm fairly satisfied with the one they gave me. There doesn't appear to be anything under the screen, but I did notice some odd flickering on gray colored screens. At this point, I don't want to return it again and burn through some more of their stock, so I guess I'll try to see if it doesn't bother me.

a black smudge under the screen is almost certain it was mishandle when packing or somewhere along the lines. Sounds like someone pressed too hard on the screen.

the flicker is the backlight refreshing, it can become visible on computers and other lcd's when the brightness is very low, it can be visble, try bringing up the brightness a bit or toggle through some background colors and see if you get one you like
