The pattern problem I have on my Aura is the same as the one described in the Glo thread: a "brushed sparkling effect" on the top 20% of the screen (hard to describe).
The diamond-shaped pattern on the entire screen did not bother me at all since it is very very small.
Perhaps I'll try the Glo anyway like you said, but the pattern problem seemed quite frequent from what I read (in the problem's thread, perhaps that's why

).
