Do all voyages have the gradient?

I got a voyage finally for the $120 refurb price. Plus: the text is crisper than my PW2. Minus: 1/ the tapered body makes it harder _for me_ to hold; 2/ I see the gradient.

The screen is a cooler color on the bottom left, then it gets progressively warmer until the top and right side is kind of a brown color. In bright daylight, it's fine, but less than
bright daylight, I see it.

The cooler part is like my PW. I actually like the warmer part and would be happy if the whole screen were like the top, but the gradient is distracting. It makes the screen look dirty, for lack of a better word, like an old paperback with yellowing edge.

I'm considering trying for an exchange, but I can't tell how "bad" it is. I suspect it may be normal and another one won't make a difference. Has anyone had one with a gradient that bothered them, exchanged it, and got one they felt was acceptable or even "perfect"?

Thanks
