New Discovery on Yellow tint Iphone3Gs Screen

I've been reading about the Iphone 3Gs Yellow tint issue. And today I've got my Iphone 3Gs, so does my girlfriend. I compare my phone with hers. My one has a serious yellow tint, and the bringhtness is way below hers.

And then turn off the phone and compare the screen. I notice some very distinct detail between our phone. The LCD panel of her phone when turn off, is very smooth, you can hardly see any grain. With my phone, I can see there are colorful fine grains all over the LCD panel.

Plus, my phone when turn off, the screen is much more darker than hers.

Does anyone find the same thing? Could it be different panels that apple is using across the product line?
