DS screens going bad?

Ok so the top screen on my DS has spots that are too bright and too dark along the edges. I didnt really mind at first but it seems like its getting worse. I decided I was going to buy a new one, switch them out and return the old. I ended up testing the new one and it has the same problem. The edges of the top screen have all kinds of issues when viewed from a certian angle. I went to check out the demo unit, same thing. Does anyones DS not have this problem? Its pretty annoying IMO, really noticable when the top screen goes black.

I noticed that on all DS screens I've seen (including mine). Just slightly uneven illumination I guess.

Thanks, I feel better now. :) Its not something I cant live with, I just wanted to be sure mine isnt defective.
 
actually, I think I remember mine being very slightly uneven, I'll check when I get home.
