I did a search and did not find this topic. I recently bought a 3490LMT from Amazon and just noticed that the GPS upper left corner has an irregular L shaped darken spot, slightly larger than the size of a quarter. I am sure this is not the outside glass coating and has to be under the glass. I did not notice it earlier because most of the defect area is around the top navigation bar, which is always in dark color so I did not pay much attention until I flipped the setting back and forth and noticed the strange shade. Does anyone having the same unit have this problem? By the way Amazon is quickly dispatching a replacement next day and their service is top notch.

LCD Screen
Most likely there's something wrong with the LCD screen. If you can, return or exchange it.
Replacement from Amazon
Replacement from Amazon finally arrived,courtesy of brilliant UPS next day air routing from Las Vegas to DFW airport to Louisville, KY then flying back to DFW airport... I wish having that kind of frequent flier miles...
The screen is much better this time.
I purchased a screen
I purchased a screen protector from ebay. I would recommend doing the same.

Just saw your post today as I haven't been online much lately. Glad you got a replacement unit and now know that your 1st unit was defective. I have a 3490 and the screen should be completely uniform in brightness.
