Default Screen Discoloration

Just got my Inc4G, and there is a yellowish tint/hue at the top of the screen. Anyone else have this problem. Its pretty noticeable on a white background.

Soooo, how long did it take for this discoloration to go away? Because I just realized that I've got it too.

I only noticed it when I turned the brightness all the way up and played an episode of "Firefly" on Netflix to kill the battery. When the phone automatically turned off, the discoloration was very obvious against the whiteness of the splash screen. I usually keep the screen brightness fairly low to conserve battery, plus my wallpapers are rarely brightly colored. I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise.

(And this is why I've never been an early adopter; I like for the bugs to be worked out before I buy something. Damn you, Verizon, for forcing me to an early upgrade.)

Well, the iPhones/iPads had this problem. It's simply the adhesive that bonds the display to the glass. It likely hasn't fully cured and using the phone is enough to heat it up and have it fully cure

Yeah, this is weird. It's gone now. The screen has been off for the past several hours while I slept. I wonder if it will come back after a few hours use. I certainly hope not. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this?
