HTC Touch screen dark area?

Yes it is due to pressure. But it is not caused by applying extreme pressure to the outside of the screen. I have had 3 phones all in a row have this problem. 2 of them came new right out of the box this way. These spots are caused by uneven pressure against the bottom side of the lcd or between the digitizer and the lcd. To prove this take 2 fingers and apply slight pressure to the screen on both sides of the dark spot. Now variate the pressure on those two fingers. Do you see the spot look like its moving, getting lighter, or even disappearing? By doing this you are evening out the pressure on the lcd wich in turn effects the dark spot. I haven't had the guts to take my phone apart but I could almost guarantee if you took the phone apart and re assembled it by hand very carefully, the spot would go away.

Anyone else confirm this? I still have my old one, so I'll try to test this later today and report back.
