I've returned two Kobos (neither a Forma) over the years because of them. However, my current Kobos (a Clara HD and a Libra 2) have perfect screens with no such bright spots.
I've definitely got at least one of these.
But as I said: it seems there are so few Formas left, you might get a worse one in exchange.

Nevertheless, it's good to put this on record, for the reason I just stated.
