I'm not a huge fan of playing the exchange game again, and I'm going to absolutely assume they're all like this based on another person's impressions I already read here:

Anyway, here are my pictures:

For me, who is HYPER sensitive to this sort of thing, the uneven illumination stands out like a sore thumb. It doesn't change tint like previous gen Kindles with the green/red, but it does gets more yellow in parts of the screen which can cause the illusion of tint. Either way, another year that Amazon still can't get it right, which is a shame.

Still, this is absolutely the closest they've gotten.
I can easily see pink patches. If it was me, I'd return it and try again because it's very noticeable. I'm not as sensitive yet I can easily see this and it would bother me.
