Also if you let the adaptive light work you will find it less noticeable too, just let the light adjust as the device thinks fit. If you adjust it for the first few days, if it's not quite at the level you want, the auto adjust will learn your preferences and soon you won't need to adjust it.

Thank for the advises.
I don't know it is my imagination or what. It seems like the brownish color changes every time when I turn it on. But it is ok. Just like what Albert Camus said in Stranger, given long enough time, people can adapt any situation!

OMG. The QC of Amazon should be improved. I have thought of selling it and buy a new one(It is probably the reason why the prev. owner sold it). So if I really buy a new one, my chance of getting an even-lighted Voyage isn't big.

No. But you might get a screen with a pink top, or a yellow one. Perhaps you would like them better.

Mine has a pinkish top, not brown.

If you have Auto Brightness ticked then every time you open the Voyage the light readjusts to the light around it. If you want to test that just turn the adaptive light off and test that the light doesn't change when you open the Voyage a few times. Also turn the Night Light off for the test too.
