I've noticed a couple of things about my PW2 while reading today.

Discovery 1: My reading area during the day has a recessed ceiling light. It is a spot light type fixture but I use a fluorescent bulb in it. It is behind me while I'm reading. Today I noticed that the faint blue line across the top of my screen was actually a shadow from this light. I first noticed a faint blue line on the right side of the screen and then quickly noticed it was a shadow. After that it didn't take long to realize the line across the top is also a shadow from this light. There is some light leakage from around the screen though, the most prominent of which is a 1/2" long leak on the right bottom.

Discovery 2: When I move to my evening reading area that has no recessed ceiling light, only a table lamp with shade, my screen is no longer tinted a faint blue. The screen is actually a pale cream color much like the vanilla ice cream I just ate. So I went into the daytime reading area and tried looking at the screen with the recessed ceiling light on and then off. ON equals faint blue tint on screen, OFF means cream colored screen. Either way the screen is dingy in the middle, but light cream color looks much better than faint blue tint.
