I would love to hear from others who don't have this streak. The more I study the screen photos posted by various users here, the more consistent looking the problem seems to be.

I enhanced... (Blade Runner: Enhance!)... some of the images posted on this forum, and included photos of my own Forma, by simply adjusting the input Level of these images, ie basically darkening the entire image evenly. And the result is pretty similar, and dramatic.

Now there's no need to do this, the streak is noticeable to see with the unaided eye once the onboard lighting is used, but the photo enhancements help to show what these other posters and I can see un-enhanced.

But I'm still loving the Forma. Right now I'm using a little kludge that helps "unsee" the streak. I haven't decided yet if I should enter the "replacement lottery" if it turns out all the screens being manufactured are basically the same.
