I can duplicate your line curve on mine. I see two very small shiny
marks about an 1/8 up from the bottom of the screen and starting from
the right hand side about 3/8 and another 1/2 from that one toward the left.

Maybe its an issue from holding it the same way repeatedly. When holding
the Newt (right handed) I tend to hold it with my left thumb right below
the area that's effected ( between the microphone and the Apple logo.)
So I tend to think Gary is on the right track about the frame pressing
on the lower left corner.
I've been courageous enough to swap logic boards between Newts but
haven't gone "down" to the screen layer yet. Any one got any insight or
can point me were I can get some more info about taking it apart that far.
