did oyu get as far as connecting ot your PC to see if the format error had gone away.
No it looked a new one, it was sealed with the film on the front, I gently lifted it up to see if the film was causing the stripe but it wasn't. It looked like a screen fault, like one of the leds was brighter than the others. In fact I actually had two lighter stripes, working from either side one was at 1/4 the other at 3/4's of the screen, it had to be the LEDs. The stripes were the same colour as the whole screen of the format disc one, the rest of the screen was a dirty off white.

I spotted it immediately and I wondered if I could live with it for a moment, but it shouldn't have to, not for a device costing £140.

What I want is one that looked like the format disc error one. As an aside I tried to do that when I compared the two side by so but windows wouldn't format the device after all anyway
