Looking at the pictures again, it could be the angles that make it look worse: the second picture is clearly looking down into the bottom edge of the bezel where the LEDs are. The first picture might also be looking at a bit of an angle into the bottom edge.

What unevenness there is is more noticable on my Glo if I look at that angle, from the top of the screen to the bottom. But that is not a normal reading angle, so I don't see it in actual use.

Try holding the Glo at the angle you would for reading, with the light at a normal level, and see if it still looks as bad as the photos.
