I think you were describing me tbh.
Least I'm not the only one lol.
Girlfriend thinks I'm nuts, "why can't you just be happy with anything" is usually what she says.
that's why I try and stick with amoled screens when it comes to phones, as its one less "fault" for me to worry about, I remember buying an iPad and iPhone from Apple in lakeside, took it home and spotted the backlight bleed and it was driving me nuts, there was no way I could live with it, was straight back to Apple a few days later to return them. Thank god for their no quibble 14 day returns.
Or in the past when I had a 5s that had backlight bleed I could put up with, I noticed my screen was yellower than friends phones, so off I went to Genius Bar to play the exchange lottery.
Or even when I've had one with a loose power button, it's enough for my ocd to trigger an exchange.
Yet my girlfriend has backlight bleed, a screen that looks like cats pee when it displays Google, but she doesn't care, it's fine.
At my worst though I'll analyse the phone and see a small blemish or the screen has a slight gap and I need to return it, it's actually not normal lol.
Keeps me in a job haha
Out of curiosity when Amazon get a return is it tested? Like I returned a monitor for backlight bleed? But I can't imagine it's tested to see? By tested I don't mean is it checked to see if item is in there, or working but just to ascertain the fault?
Unlike say currys where they literally plug it in and need to see it to determine if it's bad enough? Which is in contrast to Argos who just check the item is in there, serials match but don't actually test for the fault.
