That is surprising, and worrisome, happening on multiple units. Maybe its the lighting, but the finishing of the woodwork looks pretty rough in general around the edges of the screen, particularly the upper part. @glassmonkey, I really think and hope you get a replacement unit. After all the QC input you've given EB and all the problems you're having, as well as being a good-will ambassador for them, I think they owe you that much.
I'm just one opinionated customer talking to other opinionated customers. Echobox owes me nothing but the service that any customer should expect. It does feel a little like we're the beta testers a bit. Ah, crowdfunding!
