You know, sometimes if you hear something enough you start to believe it.
Have you ever read the side effects list for a new medication that you have to take? And once you take the med you suddenly start to think you feel those side effects?
It's a psychological response. You read about it and you effectively forced your brain to trick you into thinking you have those side effects, when you don't.
I think people can convince themselves that they see something that is not really there because they have been told often enough that it IS there. They have read reviews from other people saying that all screens have the discoloration, so mine must have it too.

I find what you're saying rather insulting. Are you aware that Amazon CS reps have told more than a few people on this board that the voyage screen is two toned, yellow at the top and blue on the bottom and that it's "normal" for the device? I think it's been well established that some people's eyes are more sensitive to these color variations than others. Some people see it, some don't.
Those who see it are most certainly not imagining it, convincing themselves it's there, or being influenced by others on the board.
I saw the two toned screen within seconds of setting up my voyage. I received it the day of release. I also had color issues with the Paperwhites as well and Amazon CS reps admitted to me those problems existed with the screens. I did manage to get a PW2 that is even and without colors, but the voyage is likely going to be an issue for anyone who has this sensitivity.
Thankfully the Kobo H20 doesn't suffer from color hues and an uneven screen (to my eyes, at least) and therefore I'm able to enjoy it without issue. For those who do have eyes that are sensitive to color variations and sees them easily, I really suggest giving one a try. It might be the answer for you if you're not able to enjoy the voyage.
