I tried taking a picture of it, which is a real PITA, but best effort so far is in attachment.


I cannot reproduce the effect in the lower 3/4 of the screen, so I am starting to think this is some kind of production defect in the upper area of my screen. At first i thought maybe it has something to do with the touch capability of the screen, but it looks too chaotic to be a matrix of some sort. Maybe some kind of stretch marks ?

Does anyone else see this ? Any insights ?

Edit: argh typo: stRand
It's like this on every Aura. It's probably part of the light dispersion layer.
