Yeh, the line at the top was the issue - still don't know how that got through whatever quality checks they have. Actually the pics are all a bit misleading - the screen itself on the left one is really, really good... at the bottom there are no shadows between the LEDs at all, unlike my other one (one on the right). I can see the headlamping in the pic but on the device, theres nothing.
I agree some people are expecting too much, BUT after seeing how they've completely eliminated the shadows between LEDs on the left PPW (batch 604) - I know I could have just been lucky - but it makes me think they're still tweaking the manufacturing process ever so slightly, which should have been done well before so many million devices shipped. If, and its only if, all batch 604's are like that, then that screen is pretty close to perfect (would be hard to see how they'd improve it any more given the current process re LEDs and spreading across the 'flattened optical fibre' like piece).
Will post when I receive the replacement to see if same or not!
