On the handle side of these devices the screen is slightly darker and "cooler" in color temperature. This issue does not disappear at any color temperature or brightness. Both Formas had the color temp/brightness issue as well as a significant dark band at the very edge of the screen (handle side).

For people considering trading in devices with these issues, my small sample seems to imply it is unlikely you will receive a unit with a "perfect" screen.

I ended up keeping only the one with the least dramatic gradient and returned everything else.
