Unhappy Uniform background-not

Hi
i have a new kobo forma And the white is not purely white across the screen..
From around the middle to the right side there is a faint gray throughout ..

I notice it bothered one reviewer..as being distracting.. Where my kindle fire is black and white across every page..I think for 279 bucks they could have done better.

Anyone else notice this..it's even that way on comfort light..

Probably the frontlight, it's the same on most (if not all) of them.

I have had an H202 for a week and have noticed a weird shifting of uniformity (without the light on). Initially I thought it was a fixed, faded area of the display as I was always reading in the same position. But its not always in that physical spot on the screen, rather in the same area (bottom always looks lighter for example) that is there no matter how you orient the device. It has to be at just the right angle for things to look uniform. I don't know if the coating is just super succeptible to looking differently in different light or what but I have noticed lighter or darker areas depending on where I am sitting and how the device is angled. It's something I never noticed on Kindles...even old cheapish ones...but have been annoyed by in cheap LCDs.
