    Uneven Screen Brightness

    Hi there sorry to resurrect this, but I'm wondering if you exchanged your S2 and whether you got the diminished top edge again? I have the exact same issue with my panel on my SP2. Here's my thread. And I noticed this characteristic on ALL surface models at the MS stores here in Seattle...

    SP2 Screen brightness uneven at edges, 15% - 20% dimmer at top long edge. Normal?

    Thx for taking the time, I appreciate it. Your explanation makes sense. I have to say, though, my inspection of the Venue 11 Pro and 8 Pro panels at three stores shows no visible backlight unevenness or diminished edges, same with my Nexus 7 and Lumia 920. Nor any other panels at the Microsoft...

    SP2 Screen brightness uneven at edges, 15% - 20% dimmer at top long edge. Normal?

    Thx goodbytes good to know. I did this but it has no effect on the edge dimming issue I see. So it appears that my top edge dimming issue may not be the so called banding phenomenon. It's definitely there for me and other Surface machines at the MS store, but not sure if it's important enough...

    SP2 Screen brightness uneven at edges, 15% - 20% dimmer at top long edge. Normal?

    hi Jeff, thanks very helpful... to make sure I understand: -- does it follow then that this kind of issue is actually fixable or addressable via an Intel update? Or is it something inherent to the hardware that can't be fixed? -- so the floor models at the MS store each has the same OS image...

    Wacky battery antics

    That's very interesting and helpful that you didn't experience this until the last two updates. A firmware issue would seem to explain this, and that both of my brand new units experience the exact same behavior as each other. Let's hope another fix is in order soon. I think I'll start a...

    SP2 Screen brightness uneven at edges, 15% - 20% dimmer at top long edge. Normal?

    Hello GoodBytes, thanks for taking the time to reply and look at your screen. I tried taking a photo but it can't pick up the subtlety, even on my SLR. I just fear it will get worse over time since the floor models at the MS store show it, too, often worse than on my new device.

    SP2 Screen brightness uneven at edges, 15% - 20% dimmer at top long edge. Normal?

    hi there, My SP2'sscreen is uneven in brightness or illumination. That is, edge to edge, the illumination is uneven. The top long edge (adjacent to front camera) of about 1cm is about 15% to 20% dimmer than the rest of the screen. The bottom long edge (next to Windows key) is slightly...

    Wacky battery antics

    I don't have this issue, perhaps because I'm not paying attention at 25%. BUT I do have the most annoying battery behavior at below 10% and I'm wondering if you OP has this as well, since you are clearly watching battery like a hawk. My original SP2 and my current one (returned first one) did...
