Touch viewing angle problem

Now I know the last thread was closed due to the rampant flaming and bashing so lets try to keep it civil. Anyhow I'm going to bring up the issue again with the Touch's limited viewing angle in landscape mode.

The last thread was very interesting because the poll showed more people had the Mogul type viewing angle which was viewable in all conditions, whereas myself I have the limited viewing angle which looks like you are looking through those 3d glasses. I'm trying to determine whether this is an issue with all Touch's or just a certain batch so I can opt for a replacement until I get the good screen.

A good test to see if your viewing angle is messed up is to hold the Touch in landscape mode, and close one eye and then the other. You'll notice that one eye sees a darker picture, and the other side sees a lighter picture, with both eyes open you get a weird stereoscopic view of the completed image, making it very uncomfortable to view videos and pictures like from SprintTV for instance.

As from the other thread, here is also a youtube link that shows the problem pretty well as well, but I feel the eye test is a better indication: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn8BTC0e_og

Again lets try to keep it civil so we can determine whether this is a certain batch from the manufacturer or with all Touch's.
