Obviously things like pinpricks are a genuine manufacturing defect, but factors like the hue of the screen are very much a matter of personal preference. As I've said before, my PW2 has a distinctly yellow tint to its frontlight, something which I know others regard as a "defect", but I like the warmer tint to the screen.

Or it could be some people are willing to overlook flaws and accept almost anything. I've seen this over and over with various products. Human nature is strange, and it can go either way as far as what some will accept and not accept in terms of quality. But the fact that this appears to be an optics issue with the light layer, and that human eyes are of such a poor design that our brains have to interpret most of what we see due to that design, it is no wonder that some see issues and others don't.
