The tech is also _very_ new, with all the teething problems that tends to imply. The edge areas not covered by quantum dots (where the blue light passes through unmolested) probably just weren't considered an issue at the time.

Sorry for wandering slightly offtopic.
The Nexus 7.2 display beats the HDX visually even without the Blue Border I can't say about the 8.9 I haven't seen it but after owning 3 HDX units and one Nexus 7.2 I can say the Nexus 7.2 wins hands down.

The way the light is projected on the HDX 7 is rather odd it looks like this on the HD2 as well I think is just something Amazon needs to work on. The lighting on the N7.2 is perfectly even you see pure color and not sure how to describe this....The HDX and HD2 has uneven color on a background. Not many will notice this though but someone who is trained to work with web graphics and colors frequently will. If you keep the light setting up higher it's hard to notice it but for someone who uses lower settings you can tell right off that the light projection is uneven.

I think it has to do with their Light Bleed issues. The KFv1 also suffer from this but not as bad as the new units. The LEDs need to project light perfectly even like the N7.2 does before it can compete with it. I really want to see the 8.9 to see if it suffers from this as well.
