It`s invisible on lower light settings, and starts to get really annoying on higher light settings (like a white dot over the text, being too bright). I guess it`s an issue with that light guide layer, being either damaged (a pinhole) or having a dust particle somewhere in there (if dust can be the issue here), causing the light to probe up to much, making a glowing pinhole. I even wanted to wipe it off a few times while reading, forgetting that it isn`t just a dust particle on top of the screen  |
On the first PW I got, I had a hairline fracture in the screen. The replacement had the issue you're describing here, where it's just 1 small glowing speck on higher light settings. I was a bit miffed when I first inspected it, but in the long run I haven't actually noticed it at all because it's in the margins where it never actually overlaps any text. Hopefully the replacement they give you turns out better.
