We've got two Kobo Glos, two Aura HDs, and an Aura and none have any screen defects. I don't know if it's bad batches or luck of the draw but so far we've all been really lucky.

Assume 100,000 people buy a product. Assume 5% of those people have problems (that's about the max for acceptable failure rate in consumer products). That means for every 100,000 people who buy the product, 5,000 people have issues. Which sounds like a lot, until you turn it around -- for every 100,000 people who buy the product, 95,000 people
do not have issues. Sounds much better that way, right?
My wife has a launch-day KPW1. Never had any issues. No bad pixels, no bad colors, no light banding, etc. I have a launch-day (or near enough) Kobo Aura. No bad pixels, no light banding, no diamond or scratch patterns on the screen, no light leaking, etc. Are my wife and I just lucky? I'd say no. We'd be "lucky" (the bad kind of lucky) if we had issues, since we're 95% likely to get good products and only 5% likely to get bad.
