I noticed as the light adjusted the screen yellowed from the top to about 1/2 way down. After playing with it for awhile by sitting in a brightly lit room and repeatedly covering the sensor until the entire screen darkened to a uniform color(yellowish), it now is uniformly light when I uncover the light sensor. Maybe this will work for those of you having a problem."

Hope this helps someone!
Thanks, for posting these suggestions! I had done a reset as well as a restart yesterday before calling customer service. I just tried covering the light sensor (off and on several times). No joy with either approach... but it was worth a try!
