When my new hp 30B is viewed at normal angles from a desktop I get a rainbow pattern in part of the display. It is much more dominant in lower light. In dim office light, the mark reduces to a gray darkened half circle. In bright light it sometimes is not visible. There is no visible crack or break in the display.

It was an eBay buy, but the hp 30b was new in a sealed package. (4CY02400091) There was no visible damage to the package before it was opened.
Otherwise, the calculator works fine. The numbers are always visible, but sometimes the rainbow/gray area is annoying.
Is it a damaged LCD? Have others seen this on an hp 30B ?
