You keep stating this review count (in multiple threads), but your numbers don't hold for the U.S. There are currently 346 reviews on the U.S. Amazon site scored 1-5 stars. Of these reviews, 118 are 3 stars or less. I picked 3 stars to be the cut-off as from 3 stars on down almost all refer to the color gradient as a problem. This works out to a full third of reviews noting the color gradient as a significant detractor. To use your phrasing... so, with approximately 118 out of 346 people reporting a bad screen, we can reasonably conclude that this is a widely perceived issue.
I find this interesting. Here's a screen capture from the video attached to the most popular review at the U.S. amazon site. I've copied and pasted rectangles from the bottom to the top and from the top to the bottom of the screen (highlighted) so that you can clearly see that this particular KV has the exact lighting gradient issue people are complaining about, yet it is not mentioned in the 5-star review. This suggests that the lighting gradient issue may be more pervasive than the number of positive reviews suggest--just that it doesn't bother some people. I think it would bother me.
