Trent,

Thank you very much for the reply. Both LCDs have the "half-moon indentation." Maybe the difference in color quality is a quirk. Our third Vivante (My mother-in-law's) machine has the "speed-bump." It's LCD color quality is also excellent.

BTW - thanks for all of your efforts on this message board. You are our hero.
