Thanks! I need the luck!!! The luck to not get an imprefect screen on a $200 device - kind of crazy, huh.



Do you mean that it looks like there are differently shaded clouds over and around certain paragraphs? As if someone smudged over a freshly printed piece of paper? If that's what you mean, I've had that on my PW1s, PW2s and now on the Vs, and I hate it. I believe that's all because of the uneven screen, though, so i never meantioned it as a separate issue. Mybe it is....hmmm.
I requested the replacement Saturday (yesterday) and it will be here Monday (tomorrow). I originally paid for 1-day shipping when I ordered the V, so maybe that made a difference. I'm not sure you can call request replacement on Saturday and get it Monday 1-day or not, as Sunday is between the two, but we do have Sunday delivery here in my city. So maybe it is two-day delivery. Not sure how to classify it.

I don't know if the smudge effect is a separate issue or just part of a compound issue. I suspect the latter. But the smudge effect does seem worse in the yellowed areas on mine. In a dimly lit room I can make most of the tinting disappear, but the smudge effect never goes away.
