From the picture, I can readily see the bottom is whiter and the top is yellower. How that translates to real life I do not know.

Ultimately only you can say if something bothers you enough to be a deal breaker. FWIW, I don't see this with my PW2. You can get a PW2 and do a side by side comparison and see if you prefer the better uniformity over the higher resolution.

I think the next voyage will probably fix this, just as the PW2 fixed the color blobs and light cones at the bottom from the first PW. (By "fix", I mean minimize the fault to the satisfaction of most people, not necessarily eliminate it altogether.)

this is the problem with displays. You can never tell for sure if you are just unlucky or particularly sensitive or other people are just not as picky or they really did get the "perfect" unit. You can drive yourself crazy trying to figure it out.
