As title could anyone help me to determine if I am just going crosseyed or is this the top screen of this 3DS a bit skewed? As if not mounted correctly?

Received this morning from Grainger Games.

Thanks for confirming.

Also just a thought. Does the bottom screen look skewed as well? I.e. the left part seems more higher that the right part?
 
I seem to recall someone on here had a problem with something not aligning correctly and they did some nifty trick in photoshop to prove this point. Anyone have any idea how to show there is a misalignment? (e.g. drawing lines or something?)
 
I've already taken it into Photoshop, but it's not a perfect solution. The lens distorts straight lines and even a slight error in perspective and alignment of your camera will skew accuracy.

Not everything has to rely on computers. :)

Could you post your efforts please? Anything better than nothing and tbh, you look at it head on and you can SEE there is definitely one screen that is skewed/sloped at an angel.
 
Something like this might help. The long red strips on the left and right were markers to determine the perspective, so I've skewed the image slightly so that the top and bottom edges align with these. Then the two top red squares are the same size, as are the two bottom ones, you'd expect the screen to line up perfectly but it doesn't. It's not perfect but it does show the problem.
