KA1 distribution of Natural Light

I have read here and elsewhere that there has been some discussion on the KA1 display quality, but haven't seen anything in a while, so as a new (less than a week) KA1 owner, wanted to see how mine measures up.

How evenly distributed is the natural/orange/amber colored light when in use in low-light conditions?

With good ambient light from early morning to early evening (home, office, outdoors) display is nearly flawless.

But when I do my nighttime/bedtime reading, using Auto/Auto, I tend to have some dark areas in the bottom left and right corners along with a patch on the bottom that does not get painted in the Natural Light quite well enough.

It appears to me that starting at the top, very good even light (both in brightness and natural light) distribution, but as you approach middle, it starts to get a little uneven.

If I turn off Auto/Auto and fiddle with the settings, I can turn down the natural light and turn up the display's brightness to make it better. Kind of defeating the purpose somewhat, but it does smooth it out a little.
