Screen Issues (Was: Display Damaged from Factory - Bad Luck or Common Flaw?)

I’ve spotted another issue with the screen, and like before this one’s subtle - but once you notice it, it’s impossible not to notice it: the top few rows of pixels are missing.

Yes, missing.

Easiest way to see it: right-click on the clock, choose Properties, and switch to “LCD”. Note that the entire top segment of the simulated 7-segment LED displays are… not there. At least, they’re not there on my screen.

By positioning the cursor at the exact top of my visible screen and taking a screenshot, I’ve been able to measure the missing pixels: I’m missing the top four rows, as far as I can see.

In other words, this:

looks, to me, like this:

It’s only at the top of the screen: if I flip the display from right-rotation to left-rotation, so it’s upside down, I can see the whole clock without any difficulty.

And I know what you’re thinking: “Oh, the screen’s just misaligned - the top of the display is slightly under the case.” Sadly, no: I’ve taken the top lid off, and the display is exactly the same: missing the top four rows.

@AlexDuan: Have you seen this reported by anyone else?
